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.

^^^^^^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

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....

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
