I wouldn't think that would be the case. I have heard on many occasions that the LS1 gearboxes can handle 1000hp. Surely they haven't made them weaker since then

Yeah i dont know Dan

Ive got stories galore... There is no resource like SAU for LS2's on the net... The forums thatare around are all about posting how bigger skid you did last night and not about the cars them selves. You get the feeling on those forums that everyone owns a VN and just says they own a GTS or a R8....

What can you do...

I believe "Power Torque" are about the best in the business when it comes to Chev V8's...

Their talking $4700 for one weeks labour with the following;

* twin plate clutch

* LS2 edit (dyno time)

* sports camshaft

* performace headers

* new 2.5" twin system

* 110mm throttle body

* CAI with performace filter

* oil cooler

Sound pretty tempting... They seem to have a really good reputation so mabey after xmas Ill look into it...

a person of your stature should not be allowed to kid cause when you do little people like me cry

True, but my 32 cost me $12.5k 5 years ago. How much did your mates LS2 cost?

Add of the cost then and you've got a 10 or 9 second skyline

Yeah see your point but to be fair R32's when brand new were around the same dollars as an ls2...

Think of it as a exercise for all 2007 model cars round the 50k mark...

How much do you need to spend on a 2007 model (insert car name here) to mark it 11 second car???

factory piston slap

That noise isn't slap. It's the sound they are supposed to make with different sized bores. They also make those noises every 4000km because it has burnt through all 5L of it's oil

True...apples for apples I guess.

So what would you compare an LS2 with? I did a really nice crap about half hour ago.

I wounder if they brake the cam in half like the 6 cyl buick motor pre eco tech. Oh my bad im just judging all american motors must be the same

Same could be said for Rb20's, arhhhhhh

Nah in the spirit i guess Falcon Boss 290 vs SS Comm 270 would be about fair...

(edit: boss 290 is 10k more than a stock SS comm so its a bit of a price difference)

But i guess im just causious of the damage that can be made and the fact you chuck away factory warranty when stuffing with these things...

how much do you need to spend on a vp to get it to the 11 second mark

Hope...

It does not fall apart if you give it enough power to become an 11 second car

[dano4127]

pretty much my point exactly

[dano4127]

later guys im going for a maccas run

[Col-GTSX]

Can I ask, and answer honestlly...

Would you modify a brand new car???

Considering you have a perfectlly good car and all its gonna do is burn more fuel if you f**k with it...?

Also you would loose factory warranty and it could end up being a 50k+ mistake???

Would you honestlly modify???

Cause i think im talking myself out of it, that and id be killed by the mrs for touching another car...

[Col-GTSX]

Anyway time for bed for me, Dan if you hear anything about the gearbox's in the VE's let me know???

Cause one guys told me their the same as the V6 gearbox... Another said their good enough to run in drift cars then why worry...

Edit: Ive also been told that they can handle anywhere from stock to 1000rwkw so thats quite a varience...

I also called a gearbox shop and they said they have never had a VE to pull down so they not sure until they get a broken one...

[dano4127]

honestly nup I would only buy a new car cause of the warranty anyway I probably wont be buying any new cars for a long time too many nice 90's to play with
