Ls1 Into R32

[Lumpyls1]

Hi im about to put a ls1 into a r32 im just wondering if this idea will work. I was searching around on the net and i found a company called sikky that make all the conversion gear for ls1 into s13. So I was thinking that if I put a s13 cross member in my r32 and used the sikky mounts . Do you think this will work? The kit also comes with the gearbox cross member to suit the s13 will I be able to mod this to fit the r32?

Cheers

there is info on here. have a look right back at the start of the build thread.

yes s13 cross member will fit no probs.

yes gearbox cross member will fit no probs.

apparently from what i have read in the past the exhaust fowls on the steering column not sure where or how to get around this. keep searching and you will find the answers

Go and find Bezerk32 build thread.

He got around it by using a non power steering VL rack.

I'm getting around it in the R33 with some tricky exhaust manis and relocating the starter.

The starter motor isnt a problem ive got a relocator kit that puts it on the other side. I got it from castlemain rod shop its actually for ls1 into holden vs but it should do the trick. A nother option is using a msd adjustable mini starter.

I head you can swap the extractors so they face forward the have the exhaust do a 180 from that point. Another option is cut tge extractors so they tilt more towards the block

You would have heard wrong then... If you cut the extractors so they sit tighter on the block, you have the drivers side one exiting smack in the middle of the steering rack.

For those who've done this, or are doing this currently, they can also tell you the passenger side standard or HSV manifolds fit perfectly. Nothing off the shelf will fit, as they are designed to finish under the car, not in the engine bay...

Bringing this back as I am currently doing this swap in the states. I got an msd mini starter that can be rotated out of the way to clear the steering rack. What are HSV manifolds? Is hsv a company or a car? We dont have that in the U.S. and I need some kind of exhaust manifold (you call extractor i guess?)

In Aus, we get this motor from a company called Holden, they have a more "superior" company that sell "better" versions of these cars made by a company called HSV (Holden Special Vehicles)

So they have better extractors on them etc. I can take some pictures showing the differences.

What extractors are you using?

Im planning to use them from our Pontiac g8 gt. I think its the same as a 4 door commodore.

If that's the case, they will be a cast header, and the passenger one should just fit.

The drivers side won't. It will foul on all things nice and Nissan.
