Yeh guys, will be wiring in the standard LS1 harness with com port, Have HP tuner software, similar to LS1 edit.

would you use standard ECU but with LS1 edit - mafless tune?

Sounds like a beast bezerk!

Got more photos?

wasnt planning on registering this one, especially now that i have sold alot of the interior parts off, also might be a little hard to engineer when you have upgraded fom 2 litre too 5.7 litre engine & 8 point roll cage. Ive also purchased a seat, harness and window net that dont really lend them selves to street driving. i was just planning on using it on the track. Between supersprints, hillclimbs, powercruise, drags and maybe some sliding, she'll get plenty of use.

As 4 another one, w'ell see how this one turns out first. but i cant see why not.

do you plan on registering for road use?

And when your finished,think you'll be up for another 1:)

I think an alloy indy maxx mopar block is more respectfull, twin turbo'd one of those in street trim does low 8's in a 69 dodge charger / sherman tank. Drives to and from the track for good measure. I am trying to convince my brother to lean this way with the 69 charger we are restoring at the moment, admittedly it's a few dollars to do.

At least the alloy V8's like the LS1 and above are lighter than an RB block.

Absolutely. Only it's going to be one of those very long builds, it's slowly getting there at the moment.

No probs mate. If you can grab me some high res in the build type shots i'll run them in the appropriate section of the mag.

I've been after some WA in the build stuff for a while.

Thanks mate, just read ur thread, it gave me that added confidence in the decision to put the v8 in. Im keen to drive it and do a few passes but more keen to throw it around the track. Just got my hands on some fly-cut pistons as to run a more agressive camshaft grind so looks like im splitting the engine. Going to deck the heads and block to get the comp up to around 11:1, just clean the heads up a little. New set of valve springs and roller rockers and shes ready. Purchased some 42lb injectors from the States recently, probably look for an intake aswell seeing that our dollar is so good at the moment. hoping to make high 300kw at the tyres.

Buddy ur my new best friend!! haha, sounds awesome, bringing it to the bank when its done be good to go down the strip together, really turn some heads :)

The first problem in making a reliable skyline is the use of a Chevy.

To do it right you need a Ford.

A turbo happy enigine that with the right spark can run 1000 street hp bone stock. Thoes are the 96' up Ford Modular 4.6 and 5.4 allong with their new Boss 302 block rated for over 1000 nitrous or boosted hp. Though i dont have the same respect for the brand new motors as their aluminum and we all know why we hate the R35 and sr20's.

Atleast it's being modified. I live in a muscle car town with no improrts you'll ever see. The word Corvette and Mustang mean an embarasement for their displacement when an stock boosted 89 japanese 2L whops their LS1 or other small block ass. I've gotten allot of pissed off looks from guys as a jam it into 3rd and start making distance with a 4" exaust tip laughing at them. Best race i've ever had was with a 78 firebird running a freshly rebuilt 400ci with all the bolt ons, i just crept by from mid 3rd gear and he laughed at me saying "it took enough nitrous to run a hospital to get by me(him)" and i also laughed and said that was just a bone stock 2L on stock boost. He never said a thing after that and is always eyes ahead every time i see him.

The Ford blocks might be capable of taking 1000hp but the rotating assembly and heads sure as shit wont. At least not "1000 street hp bone stock"

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
