would like to see some ls1 car pics, been thinkin off building a ls2 240 for a while now, so lets see em

 

go look around on zilvia or nicoclub

 

dat **** hella weak, my si j swap civic smash on yall.

 

Thread doesn't seem to be going anywhere... but, here are a couple pics I took at D1 June '09.

 

thanks for pics , someone please post more, and j swaps just kinda seam dumb, they take up to much room and dont like the cut hoods.Plus the aluminium ls1 has very litle weight difference than the ka motor, my buddy had a 240 stock ls1 swap ran 11.20 with 1.72 60. I figured i could probably pull low 10's out of a ls2 with shaved heads new cams and full top end on a 100 shot, and still slide it sideways

ls1 in a 240 is sick! i know a guy who has a ls1 in his 240sx coupe sounds insane!

 

A couple of my friends have LSx swaps. one has an FC with an LS1/T56 tranny and the other has an FD with an LS2. Great cars.

couple of quick pulls in the FC just after the swap

The RX7 in red looks so freakin sweet. I want one...

 

I dunno. It seems like blasphemy to take out the fantastic engines these cars have to put in a Chevy engine. I mean, Mazda sells blocks to make your own R26B engines that have over 700 HP NA and a SR or RB family engine probably makes more sense in a 240.

Just my opinion though.

 

moar!

 

this is a friend of mine's car up here in canada.

 

This.

Although a v8 rx7 is damn quick with a stock ls1/lsx etc.

 

the red color looks great on it.

 

My friend's FD3s.

 

I know I'm opening a can of worms saying this, but those engines aren't all that fantastic. There is a lot more to be desired out of an engine than peak hp output, ESPECIALLY in a street car.

 

RB26's are amazing engines; so are 2Jz's... but the shear torque available in a 5.7 or 6.0 liter LSx motor blows them away. That being said, there is no way I would remove a RB26 or 2JZ to install a LSx... but in a FC or FD RX7, 240Z, S2000, etc... Im all over it.

 

Not pics but you get the idea... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyj9fczriVs

in that third video almost all of those guys are from the houston/dfw/austin/san antonio area here in texas. all are very good and a few do formula d/d1 if i'm not mistakin pro-am

 

Ls's are great motors, and the corvette chassis imo just make them shine even more. Chevy has come a long way with the ls....way better than the lt's and previous v8s. What r u guys doing about engine management in the 240/fc/350z?

 

THE LS PLATFORM HAS SO MUCH SUPPORT FOR PARTS YOU CAN BUILD THE MOTOR A MILLION DIFF WAYS. THE TQ THE OUT PUT IS INSANE EVEN IN ALL MOTOR FORMS. WHEN BOOSTED YOU DO NOT EVEN NEED ALOT TO GET THE CAR TO INSANE HP AND TQ LEVELS, LESS WEAR AND TEAR ON THE TURBOS AND RELATED HARDWARE

 

HOLY ****ING ****!!!! guess whos white car that is in the 2nd video???? thats my gsr swapped civic holy crap havnt seen a video of my car yet at the track

 

Have a couple friends that have LS1/LS6 FC and FD rx7s. They move very well. Simple bolt-ons motors making 450whp/470wtq and with 150 shot my buddy FC has a best time of 9,82@142 car has suspension issues needs to be sorted out a bit.
