R32 Ls1 Conversion

[BezerkR32]

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?

[FATAZZ]

do you plan on registering for road use?

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

[BezerkR32]

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.

good point,i was hoping you were somehow registering it so i could get a quote on getting mine done...wishfull thinking i know

I'd love to do something similar to this. Did you have to notch the crossmember like they do on S13 LS1 conversions?

[rev210]

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.

And when you're done with the Charger, I'll whack it in the magazine, rev. Send me some in the build photos ASAP.

No. The rack had to be changed but the x-member is stock.

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.

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

[BezerkR32]

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.

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"

Very nice indeed mate!

we tried the LS1 thing in a hotrod and kept blowing rings out of the bloody thing...LS2 is the way to go
