my ls1 240 project with video - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

gippy87 · 10-05-2010, 01:06 AM

Been a while since ive had a build thread on here but i just about finished my car so here it is. s13 with an ls1

I bought a wrecked camaro for 3900 with 85k miles
mods:
Bo White ported/polished throttle body
Stock LS6 intake
Ported Patriot Performance 243 LS6 heads (Patriot Gold Dual Springs)
224/228 .581/.588 113 LSA cam
Textralia OZ700 Z-grip clutch with SPEC pilot bearing GREAT CLUTCH buy it lol
MN12 (GTO-geared) 6-speed transmission - Rebuilt this year

It made 408whp and ran an 11.44

VIDEO:
YouTube - 2002 Z28 M6 - 11.47 at 121.1 - 1.58 60'

This is my s13 when it was boosted with an s14 sr

bad tune, bad VIDEO
YouTube - video-2010-03-08-13-24-37[

Out with the old in with the new

Full sikky kit. Overall its a really nice kit and everything fits pretty damn good. Only major complaint is with the headers. The fitment is great but for whatever reason the headers point directly at the transmission and crossmember which is not convienent at all when it comes time to fab up an exhaust. Hard to tell from my pic but they do maybe sikky would like to shed some light on why they went this route, there was no reason they couldnt aim them straight back like other headers in the market. Maybe they had plans for an x pipe idk. Also quality doesnt seem that high for the price theyve literally already started rusting and ive driven my car once. not cool for 650$$ i know they offer a more exspensive coated version but i would have liked to seen a stainless steel option and maybe better merge collectors i almost debated buying aftermarket 4 to 1 collectors and welding them on. The oil pan and mounts are such high quality id just expect more from them and if they offered it i would have payed. Moving on!

Wiring was much easier than expected i bought a relay/fuse box kit from current performance Wiring Accessories, kits, and components by Current Peformance Wiring
This was designed for use with ls1/lt1 engines all the wires are color coded oem gm colors and fully labeled with directions. Usuing this allowed me to completely delete both factory nissan fuse/relay boxes under the hood. If you buy this you can literally cut out everything from your stock chasis harness except headlights turnsignal and wipers. i deleted probably 10-15lbs of wiring/fuse boxes between the nissan chasis harness and the ls1 engine harness. Also comes setup with relays for fans and ac and when you turn ac on its wired to auto kick on your second fan relay, which is pretty cool.

welded diff

rad and intake installed

Vbands welded on

Vibrant performance 2 to 1 3in inlet 3.75inch outlet

And heres the first drive with open headers
YouTube - Taking the LS1 240SX for it's first spin around the block

Finished the exhaust tonight and it sounds amazing. most likely some new videos t
ommorrow.

Any questions on how i did anything or wiring feel free to ask.

haha craigslist in seekonk mass. Hell of a deal i was able to sell the rolling chasis and the aftermarket headers and random other shit on the car to make back some money. think i got this whole swap for 3000-3200 after i made money back.

gippy87 · 10-26-2010, 12:37 AM

Nope sr is still for sale.
I didn't put an ls in this car to be original but fwiw at a recent 240 meet out of all the 240s from all around new england I was the only ls swapped there

240KA · 10-26-2010, 02:01 PM

This is so sick! Props to you sir.

gippy87 · 10-26-2010, 04:10 PM

The reverse light sensor on the tranny was so close to the tjunnel I couldn't plug it in I wasn't aware of how close it was untill after hooking everything up and at that point I said screw it ill just wait till next time I take the engine out to hammer the tunnel in a tiny bit. I'm running tien super drift coilovers. A little harsh for these roads but otherwise good suspension.

zooopreme · 10-26-2010, 05:01 PM

Nice nice, what size are your wheels? Any roll/pull on the fenders? I can't tell in your pictures

blueshark123 · 10-26-2010, 06:00 PM
