Lsa Powered R32 Drift Car

[SmashBoxx]

Hey all.
Been a while since I've been on here but I thought I'd make a build thread for my latest build.
I never kept memories of building my last drift car so I'll just do this one.

Currently in the process of throwing a LSA crate motor from Holden into a R32 gtst.

I have a L98 and both T56 and TR6060 on hand also so not sure which box to go with just yet.

I'll be making having mounts and exhaust done custom and will be using the GM engine controller kit and accessory drive kit.

Plans currently for the common oil starvation issue with the LS series in high G forces are Moroso baffled and trapdoor sump and 4L accusump.

Don't have many photos for now as everything is in pieces.

Will update as things progress.

Mmm pruutty

Anyway, this is my previous drift car.

Was originally 25/30 Garrett GT3582R powered.

Latest was RB25, T67 at 345rwkw.

Lots of videos of it in action here:

And the beloved daily and tow car.

I like to hug shit

Fantasitc build, 15k in engine alone!! Will be watching this one.

Is this the 32 that got T-boned at the Summer Matsuri this year? If it is, tough luck mate but this new build will be fantastic

Sweet!

I would think the 6060 is the better option for ratios.

Yea that's the one mate.

An unfortunate day but onto bigger and better.

6060 would be better all round apart from mounting as IIRC they're floor/tunnel mounted.

Currently looking into a 4 speed dog box with internal oil pump and provision for cooler, if funds allow,

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been pretty flat out.

Not too much progress as I'm waiting on parts to arrive and deciding what I want to run.
Lots of choices with gearbox/clutch setup and oil system setup.

But today some of my Summit racing bits came in.

Went with a mini clockable starter over a LHD starter relo so I have other gearbox choices later on but still have space for long tubes and steering shaft clearance.

GM LSA Accessory drive kit

GM LSA engine controller kit

And a -10 check aeromotive check valve for my accusump setup that's on the way.

Realised that my 1000hp McLeod racing clutch won't work with the standard dual mass flywheel so now tossing up whether to run a different flywheel or just use the standard setup which is the LS7 flywheel (IIRC) and a standard twin plate.

Also waiting to swap in this subframe when I have space.

I went S13 non hicas obviously to piss off the hicas system.

I went 13 > 14 because I didn't need the extra track in the rear.

So had some spare time to dummy up the motor and it really fits in well.

Swapped the factory rear sump and just opted for a GM front sump with internal baffling and trapdoors to help prevent oil starvation. I'll be accompanying this with an accusump setup and will likely go drysump later on if the bearing have any sign of wear.

Grabbed a front sump which I was told was a vz one which I needed but turns out it wasn't and won't allow my trapdoors in so I grabbed another off a mate.

Gave it a good clean because I hate working on filthy cars and it would have looked well out of place with the shiny motor and bay.

I also fitted up my oil cooler inlet/outlet block with autometer senders to check clearance and no dramas.

The motor sits in surprisingly well with the brackets meeting the crossmember holes perfectly.
It did require notching the crossmember as standard but it clears the clutch master, steering shaft, swaybar by mines and everything!

Now to plate up the crossmember and mounts and fab a gearbox mount and everything can start going in.

[SmashBoxx]

Crossmember notch.

Rack has been moved forward and is much stronger than standard.
I'll be filling the gap with L bracket about 5mm so should hold up well.

With these mounts, the sump sits about 3mm under the crossmember so I'll be having to make up a decent bash plate.

[SmashBoxx]

Just quickly knocked out the crossmember notch today.

The side bits do go through to the back for support.

Good work man. Finally got a sump that works haha.

The initial tune net 350kw at 4600rpm and 700nm from 2500rpm onwards.
As the crate motor is still being run in, we couldn't take it past that 4500.

The car is yet to be painted so mind the primer.

Well done mate. Congrats on getting it all together. Love that torque and power delivery. How much boost is that at and what are you going to aim for after the run in? This is 1 epic drift car. Sounds tough as

Thanks mate!

Standard they run 9psi. Can up them safely to about 15 but introduces a lot of heat.

Eventually with boost, injectors, e85 and a cam it should see around 530rwkw

How did I never see your thread on here,

 

Good work Ryan, have you had a checkup after run in tune?
