It's a custom job with the appropriate yokes at each end. Are you really using a 6.2L LS3?

Yes, I was thinking about LS2, but the LS3 was only $1000 more, and between 500 and 550 HP. The wheigths are the same, and transmission are the same.

Im hoping the car would be ready for next season of drifting...

What are they worth where you're from?

:D

Im from Norway. I found a company from the US that sells the LS3 500-550bhp and Tremec T56 transmission, wiring and computer and all, for $10.700

In norway, thats a lot for that money.

That seems more than reasonable for a new engine and box! Provided you could get it over to Norway cheap enough it sounds like a bloody good deal.

Far out. $11000 is a lot of money, but when you sit back and actually look at what you get for your dollar its well worth it. If you were to compare it to an RB25, you would pay $4500 for a manual front cut, and then have to spend $15000 to make between 400 & 500hp.(Thats if you payed someone to do it) It is the sensible choice. In my case i didnt spend any where near $11000, but my engine is a 5.7 and i have spent $5000 on it to make 450hp. But any way you look at it, dollar wise it seams a good choice. Now it just has to perform. Its no good it being cheaper if it goes like a 253ci red motor. Rather the RB any day. Time will tell. at least it will sound tough, nobody can ever take that away. There is no arguing that the turbo motors make excellent power, but at what cost. maybe 2rismo could give us some idea how much it costs to have your RB25 make 500hp. Or maybe he shouldnt say infront of his wife....... sorry mate

the radiator is a PWR unit to suit r32 gtr, i just had them modify the outlet size to suit the ls1.

i also had them discard their fan bracket as i prefer to fabricate a full shroud.

Looking great!

What is the size of the radiator you are using?

I just started on my project, so I'm gathering some information...

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
