MURPHY · 11-13-2006, 07:12 PM

does your rad/fan combo work good?

"spear tech harness " ??

how much was driveshaft shop? and what all did you have to send em?

Flat-Black · 11-13-2006, 07:49 PM

the engine has yet to see any temp above 180

www.speartech.com . you send them your stock ls1 harness . your get a stanadlone harness thats 4 to 6 wires to install .

i sent dirve shaft shop nothing .. called em up . told them the lenght i needed and they made it . 450+shipping

MURPHY · 11-13-2006, 08:02 PM

so its the same price threw them for standalone as it would be for a normal wiring job threw HSC? haha sweet

and HSC's driveshafts are cheaper.

we need engine pics!

does the standalone when you send them your harness include engine light, fuel pump relay and diagnostic port?

WhiteGLX · 11-13-2006, 08:14 PM

post some install pics.....im sure alot of people would like to know:

*which headers are your using?
*how did you do the mounts?
*does factory tack and speedo work accuratly?
*what HP did you make on teh dyno with a completely stock LS1?
*Which LS1 are you using? (what L or ci)

pics of anything would be great, this is a new upand comming popular swap, so all info would be great to have.

Flat-Black · 11-14-2006, 12:41 AM

i am running headers that i made to fit . pain in the a$$ but well worth it .

custom crossmember to clear oil pan and sit the motor just right

motors a 2002 ls1 5.7

no dyno yet .. possibly tomorrow

speedo not hooked up yet . nor tack

speartech harness cost 450 . well worth in imo . comes with everything you need to make it a sweet simple install . dignostic port as well

ls7 clutch is an upgrade over stock ls1 clutch flywheel set up.

oil pump does help . higher pressure for sustaning high revs

cost of the swap was rediculous .. had to spend lost of monye on trial and error parts , mounts , corssmembers , fans , ext ext . but well worth it

wheels and tires are sport max 962? 18x9.5 all the way around . 245-35-18 azenis front . 265-35-18 ziex in the back .

exhaust is dual dyno max bullet mufflers merged into 1 then out a nother dynomax muffler . makes it nice and drivable on the street . will post up video of staight bullet mufflers . sounds insane.

quach · 11-14-2006, 01:25 AM

holy shit paco you finished this shit hella fast! werent you talking about doing this just a couple months ago? this is marcus from altamont by the way. you've got some serious skills man, that shit is sick.

0100 · 11-13-2006, 08:20 PM

Badass!!!!!!!!

Nice job.

Irukandji · 11-13-2006, 08:44 PM

hey paco, its ben from altamont. good to see your car is finally donnneeee.

HKSdrift3r · 11-13-2006, 09:08 PM

that sounds insane!! can not wait to see more vids and pics. dont want to know how much that all cost you because i def cannot afford that.

btw wat size tires you running and suspension?? awesome car!!!!!!

ledzeppelin240 · 11-13-2006, 09:20 PM

Awesome...What kind of muffler/exhaust system are you running??Sound nice. Nice rims too by the way, get some more pics and specs. up.

MURPHY · 11-13-2006, 10:19 PM

wait on the ka koyo what upper/rad hose you using?

whats a ported oil pump help? and i take it a ls7 clutch is an upgrade, right?

any problems at all with your standalone? was it just pretty much plug and play one you got the new harness? and does everything work right?

cmcdougle · 11-14-2006, 12:02 AM

that sounds cool. Post some pics of the engine, and of your motor mounts. I would like to see what they look like.

Fun swap. How long did it take?

**mrmephistopheles** · 11-14-2006, 02:54 AM

Ah, my car is done! I'll take delivery of it when we get back to the states.
Take care of it for me!

SLEEPERracer · 11-14-2006, 03:51 AM

damn thats dope! sounds really mean too!

Wykydtron · 11-14-2006, 05:24 AM

How much of a budget are you working with for this swap? I'm curious because I have a friend that has a dad thats a v8 nut. My friend really wants my SR and I told him as long as he found me a decent LS1 we can negotiate some sort of deal. XD

Flat-Black · 11-14-2006, 05:48 AM

hahah thanks quach .. yea remember when i was sick of the ka ..lol ..

swap took me approx 2moth for start to were it is now . started sep 1sth and finished it late october . mainly weekends tho ..

budget can range on whant you can make your self .. i make everything b/c of how expensive it would be to go threw hinson.

but expect the entire ls1 swap to put you back 6-8k thats what i would calculate for a nice clean swap.

g6civcx · 11-14-2006, 06:54 AM

Nice job. Thanks for posting. Can you give us more detailed pix?

The crate motor alone is about $6k plus shipping if you want a new motor. The conversion parts from Hinson is pretty expensive if you can do the fab yourself. It looks like I'm going to have to go with Hinsonthough because I'm not good at fabbin'

I hear ya! I wouldn't trust my welds now, especially not having practice for 2 years! It would take some time to relearn but I wouldn't trust the strength of the welds to the torque of a v8.

It definately would be nice to pick up a crate motor, but then again maybe someone could track down a used one.

punxva · 11-14-2006, 07:45 AM

man thats one nice swap there bro

ms!3 · 11-14-2006, 08:18 AM

hah I'm with you the ls1 is cool, but I want more info on that ka setup. Are those weber's? dcoe 44's? if not what size are they? How much power did it make? cams and header?

gunluvS14 · 11-14-2006, 11:55 AM

cong. on the swap.. but a little off topic

i know I'm asking some a$$ backward question, but you are the first person that I've ever saw that has carbs. on a dual cam KA engine.

how did you do that? what intake manifold and carbs did you use? and how was the power delievery?

twistex · 11-14-2006, 01:37 PM

sick!!!!!!!!!!!

RoyalFlush · 11-14-2006, 01:43 PM

what are you doing with the KA you pulled

Flat-Black · 11-14-2006, 04:54 PM

ka is pulled and sold .. anyone who does a ka carbed in a 240sx will be disppointed .. keep it efi and do itbs ..

upper rad hose is somthing i got a autozone and made it fit .. just a plain
90 to 90 hose .. simple .

ms!3 · 11-14-2006, 06:40 PM

sooooooooooo.......got any pics of the ka. i could use more on my picture folder. lol i just like em even tho there slow with all the money you put into them.

Flat-Black · 11-14-2006, 08:33 PM

dyno chart and dyno runs posted ... 324WHP AND 333TQ

300+TQ STARTING FROM 2.5K TO REDLINE .. SWEEETTTTTT

MURPHY · 11-14-2006, 08:44 PM
