GTS4 is AWD, so I dunno how you'd work that in. GTS has been done already in perth, so yeah, that's definitely doable.

hsv coupe 4 is an awd ls1...

why the hell would u want to do that. Put a good JAP engine in it. and it will bolt staight in, dont put some aussie heap of shit in a good car!!!

since when is an LS1 aussie?

NA_R33 has done a nissan v8 --> R33 (in the NA performance thread - even though its now supercharged).

I'd love too as well, one day (ha ha ha). But I wouldn't bother unless it was alloy (4wd already is too front heavy)

LS1 or vh41 (or whatever) - I seem to recall that sump adapters can be troublesome...

EDIT (for post below) - I'd like to stay 'nissan' in the 'line - and the nissan v8 isn't alloy (that I know of).

EDIT2: both the LS1 and VH41 are alloy block & alloy head... as 10 minutes of google time will tell you.

iirc

the ls1 is alloy

^^^^^^cause its different^^^^^

well not anymore considering that it has already been done 2-3 times here in oz

why not put something like a 1UF-ZE in it (toyota v8 - if thats the right engine code) - if it fits

apparantly they are one of the best v8's in the world so.....

the LS1 engines a shade lighter than the RB25DET, so its not like you're putting in a big heavy donk.

I wouldnt have thought that ? Interesting.

There is a guy around Brisbane with a 350 in it but not sure if it is LS1. Id have to guess so cuz you wouldnt go back to a bloody carby in a skyline.

I remember taking my RB30 to the engine shop and we were pulling it off the back of the ute and the guy didnt know till he was lifting it and said in amoungst groans "What is it ? an Rb 30" and I just laughed and went yep.

Well, how about a weight comparison then?

RB20 RB25 RB26 RB30 (all cast iron sixes)

VH41 LS1 (both alloy)

also, wouldn't a V8 be better for weight distribution (shorter motor)... with more cubes...

I still think the hardest thing would be bolting the engine to the gearbox... any thoughts on that?

ok then Why would you want to put a crap engine that the states made for australian shitty cars have to run because holden cant make there own engines, just like the VL!

LOL

because an LS1 is better than an rb25de

The guys in brissy with the 350 has been building that car since i was 14, last i heard he gave up.

My engine, VH45 is all alloy and lighter than the RB and LS1, and makes 500+RWHP on only 11psi... these engines love boost, Currently organising another engine to build properly and stick more into it.

The only reasons there is such stigma about ls1's in this country is because holden only put cheap parts in them. In the states theses engines are awesome, with the right gear they make huge power and quite simply no matter how u look at it, the bigger the engine is the more potential for power its as simple as that, so how can a 5.7ltr engine be worse then a 2.5ltr with the same accessories...

Dont get me wrong i would never put one in a skyline... i too have a thing with keeping to brands... but still, To stand out nowdays you have to think out of the box...

At Gold Coast AutoSalon the car that took out best nissan had a a farken 2J in it... now yes its cool and yes its different but how could it possibly take out that trophy....

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
