Hey guys I'm doing an ls1 swap with a t56 transmission. I'm from Canada and apparently there is nobody that has done this swap over here so I was just wondering if I could get a heads up of what I'm going to have to do such as, widening the transmission tunnel, starter position, header mods to fit steering shaft and engine and transmission mounts.

All input and pictures of swap would be amazing

Thanks

there's a few getting around - the S13, 14 and FC / FD swaps are fairly common over in the US though and have commercially available kits.

There's also a few guys on here doing conversions - Captain Natro has an R33 with an auto. I'd say you'd need custom engine mounts, headers and tailshaft for starters, but I've seen LS engines in HR31 - R34 so it'll fit!

Somebody's had to have done this...help me out pleaase[/qquote

So you are going to do a conversion, but want someone to spell it all out for you?

The engine will fit in there, but as to how figure it out yourself.

It's not rocket science, it is achievable.

Thanks to all the helpful people.

As for Superben...instead of being an idiot with a sarcastic remark, maybe not answering at all would have been the best thing to. Just looking for opinions seeing as that's what forums are for but thanks for waking up with your panties in bunch!

My remark isn't sarcastic. It's a fact.

Never the less, I'm sure that you will be able to do the conversion. The fact that people have done it before you is pretty much all of the info you need.

It's obvious that you would need custom engine mounts, trans cross member and tailshaft.

If the firewall or tunnel needs massaging you won't be able to do it off of dimensions anyway, you need to try and fit the engine and go from there.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
