R32 Ls1 Conversion

[JAS-25T]

wouldn't that suck major hot air unless there was a cold air feed?

some people tell me you blow a lot of hot air...

hehe.

[BezerkR32]

yeh, but you have to run a divider plate between the engine and the bonnet over the radiator support.

dont worry Jase, you will see...

hmmmm, yes, very nice. The Carbon Fibre is a bit overkill though, and tune lenght intake runners will be expensive i dare say. Harrop do one also but 12k

Hey Stu, go get some Kleenex for cleanup. You're gonna need them.

Harden the f**k up. Here's the same manifold with Al tubes.

Price???????????

but yes they are pretty.....

I'm in love!

I want them for the Clubbie...

[2rismo]

Sadly it's about $3000USD

hmmm.... trumpetty goodness

[BHDave]

my s13 needs an ls1 just so i can fit that manifold.

But i reckon i can make the throttle linkage more complicated

Very interested to see how this car goes. You only need to better a 1:07.9 at wakefield and you are quicker than my old r32. I reckon your car has 6's in it without too much trouble, probably quicker with a bit of seat time.

Stu, I would quiz Jamie from NRE on how these are set up. They do the ones for Ingall etc.

[BezerkR32]

yes, im all over it brother, Aaron has already quized him on runner lengths which will blow your mind.

they are also doing me some CnCd rocker covers which are trick.

Saw pics of the covers on the PRI show website. Awesome!

[2rismo]

Just promise me you'll drive it like this guy.

Wow!

I reckon his foot is dyna-bolted to the firewall via the throttle pedal!

not heaps to report. have been chipping away at the long list of little fidly jobs like mounting ECU and com port, fitting temp senders, gear shift boot, tow hooks, etc. heaps fidly and time consuming but has to be done. have some second hand rubber on those rays datonas and they look good. scored some second hand semi slicks of one of the brut utes. the biggest i can fit on the front is a 235. have a 245 comfortably on the rear. going to get wired soon. even put engine oil in it today so very close.

[BezerkR32]

A little more done. I have fitted the LS1 wiring harness and ran it into the car to the ECU which is mounted on the passenger floor. Mounted com port plug in pasenger air vent. modified the harness and moved the position of the o2 sensor plugs as they were mounted further down the exhaust before, now they are in the headers.

brakes are bled, clutch also. fluids in engine, trans & diff.

Modified the steering knuckle a little just to get a bit more clearance. had to relieve passenger engine mount also. had to pump the trans tunnel around the shifter opening also.

Radiator, thermo fan and hoses all plumbed. Temp sender was fitted in cylinder head.

Tow hooks fitted front and rear.

Fitted diff pineapples, waiting for front & rear sway-bars to arrive.

Thats about it, going to get wired this week, then doing the tin work and fabbing a catch can and recovery tank and some ducting. Should get her back after Christmas.

Looks like you are soon finihed, and it is looking great!

You must upload more photos and video clip from first startup... I want to hear it roar!!

Do you have more pictures from the engine bay and interior?

[BezerkR32]

only whats already been posted, nothing much else has changed.

Does look great, though looks wierd not having anything hanging out through the opening in the bar. May have to glass it back to teh radiator so you dont see light through there.

Tell me where to write a 10k checque for the conversion and i will post it off....only i know it woudl cost way more then 10k

All it needs to be truly toss worthy is a close ratio box and a big silly cam to make the thing nice and peaky and make good top end. LOL, i seem to like spending money making cars slower
