You must have tired all of these things and not able to get anything returned or refunded, it is simple that A: there is no problem of the products. or B: for the price you paid, you think it is worthy of keeping the products. so stop crying this and that. If it does not work, return it and get 100% of your money back. if you don't do so, shut the F up!!

So many parts needed to make this LS1 swap works on a 240SX: engine mounts, tranny mounts, oil pan, oil pickup, oil dipstick, headers, driveshaft. Not only to make this kit works, we also added many new features that can only can be seen on very high end and expensive products (oil pan with Baffles and Trap Doors, long tube headers, easy access oil dipstick, fully adjustable motor mounts), compare any other LS swap kit on the market now that have these features, at what price!!!

frankly we've spent a lot of resources and done a lot R&D and keep improving our product design and quality, in general, we truly believe we have the best products for the prices (that most of the buyers can afford). if you don't like them, don't buy it. if you bought it don't like it, return it for 100% money back.

check out our facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TeamCX) for the new projects we are doing and tell me if any other vendors are doing the same for R&D and offer products like ours, and more importantly at the prices are affordable, and prices that you can affordable.

frankly, for customer like you, we don't want, we DO NOT want your business. again, it is very simple, don't buy our parts. don't like it, return it and get your money back, it is wasting time to to auguring anything that makes no sense.
I tried to return and get a refund for my headers do to the fact that my car sits so low to the ground and and yall refused to take them back and refund my money. but you said here that we can return the product for a full refund if not satisfied. i purchased the whole kit and i am very happy with the kit minus the headers. they will not work for my application. I do not want to wait 2-3 months for the passenger side header to be re-worked. i already have a set being custom made. so as of right now i have a set of 400.00 paper weights hanging from my wall in my garage. Customer Not Happy!

hey curbcheck just so you know they actually have a section for that, although i doubt they'd go there to read it. you arent the first person i've seen thats had problems with the header sitting too low. that sucks to spend that much just to get the shaft when you need their help. horrible business ethics CXRacing. you should be ashamed.

also considering all the other new features on the oil pan and mounts designs, and with the price that are the lowest on the market by large margin compare to other vendors. we do believe this by far the best kit on the market with that price. some small issues here and there, it is very normal when you working on a engine swap project or any race car builds, that is just a given. but our kit addresses most of these issues already and we will continually fixing and improving it.

we are also making a complete exhaust and a electronic wiring kit for the LS swap too, so in the next 2-3 months, we will have the completed kit, basically everything you need to put a LS into a 240SX
the only reason i quoted all this is not to bash but to show you what you's said. first there were no exhaust problems because you test fit them all before shipping. (the lie detector determined that was a lie. lol) !don't act like y'all dont watch maury too.)
then you said it was designed like that because of the starter. ok thats fesible but not that much room is needed.
the you changed the story again and said its low to avoid a box that gets removed anyway........ok thats just retarded.


i just read his thread from where i left off after i bought the first production oil pan you guys sold yeah i'm still tickled pink about that. what i saw was good and bad. you finally acknowledged that the headers do sit rather low. the bad was instead of just ignoring or just reporting the guy on this thread that was hating on y'all you decided to stoop to his level and started slandering and belittling him. you guys are supposed to be a professional company, act like it. i actually convinced curbcheck to go with you guys kit instead of hooker and i've actually helped him install most of the kit. so we are loyal customers to you guys and would love nothing better than to have these minor problems fixed (in his case just a refund on the headers only).

Y pipe=$180, this Y pipe should work with the existing catback sold on the market.

Catback=$190

The Y pipe does not work with the old version of the passenger side header, which we have shorten it and make it higher. but we can offer the passenger side header alone for customers who have bought our kit, at a deep discount price, like $100.

Thanks for your understanding.

we are doing our best to help out the LS 240SX swap community.
1. We could have priced the Y pipe higher, like $300, that is still cheaper than the costs you need to trailer the car to a muffler shop, and costs of just parts.

2. these parts are proprietary design, we could have made the Y pipe longer, with different flange, or little things like that, so that it does not work with exhausting catback, and you have to buy the entire exhaust from us, that we could have made a lot more profit.

but we are not doing that. we try our very best to protect your investment that you had made in your car (bought from us or not). even with a $100 replacement header, the total price is still much lower than any competitor offering similar products.

I'm assuming everything is still in the final phases cause I can't find it on the site? Unless I'm just missing it...wouldn't be surprised if I saw it and scrolled right past it. I'm so excited though. This is going to make my life so much easier

Hello guys, this is my first post on zilvia but i have been following this thread since the beginning. I had purchased this entire kit through ebay ( mounts, headers, oil pan, trans mount, and drive shaft ) a few months ago but had just gotten around to installing it over the last few days due to work. This is however my first swap/ major project on my own car so I'm learning a lot as I go , with some help from a few buddies. The mounts are cut nicely with a plasma cutter with excellent welds however when I had first received them I noticed the bolt sleeves for the motor mounts were two different lengths. I cut them down to equal lengths and then kept on going when I went to drop the motor in I had to shave a 1/8" off the top of the mounts on the k frame side in order to get the engine in because they were to tall. I saw this said ehh no biggie. The oil pan also had to be modified a tiny bit because a few bolts wouldnt fit in the holes due to the pan being welded a bit crooked. When I had to mount the trans cross member however everything was so far off that I had to mill the mounting holes 1/4" in on each side and then back fill the newly cut "wizard sleeve" holes to get it to fit properly. I however haven't had a chance to fit my headers yet so I can't comment on how they fit yet. Any body else who has bought this kit have any of these problems or is it just me?

All I'm gonna say is that if you buy this kit you better be willing to work. There's a reason the price is so low.

Does anybody that owns one of these pans care to take a measurement on it and post it here? Looking for exterior height from bottom of pan to mounting surface, and exterior length and width of sump. Was looking at this for another build. Tried calling and getting answers from the source................... ummm............. I am gonna' leave it at that....

i just tried putting this on for mine.... i know my intake manifold (102mm) is bigger and all, but the oil pan requires the motor to sit really far forward and really high... i cant put the hood over it!
theres at least a 6 inch gap between the firewall and the intake manifold...
im a noob but goddamn, this design is retarded.... having the motor sit lower and further back was one of the reasons why i went for the swap

Well, that was my consensus... I couldn't even get help straight from CX on my question. Lack of support made it clear, I went with a Canton roadrace pan instead. I have no idea if these fit the LS better in these swaps. Hell, I don't know 100% if it will work for mine, but I did get support when asked. Good luck.....
