Where are you guys taking your harness power sources from on the S13? It looks like the F8 and F9 plugs provide power to the nissan engine harness, but I can find pinouts for them.

What kind of power? Constant? Switched?

NoClassic · 01-02-2009, 12:08 PM

The harness needs both constant and switched. The switched needs to be a single high load circuit or multiple circuits I can distribute the power leads amongst.

I also need a start signal, for the starter.

are you looking to buy one or are you looking for information on them?

it's not like trying to source a Japanese motor, or one that's been out of production for over a decade, the best place to get a motor is to open the phone book and call a local salvage yard.

May consider this swap instead of RB depending on price difference.

twistex · 11-25-2009, 10:40 PM

rb sucks compared to ls1. trust me drive a lsx powered s chassis and you will be sold!

you can make it legal you just need all smog devices that came with that engine such as evap, air injection, cats ect....

95KA-Turbo · 12-26-2009, 05:14 PM

Anyone have any wiring diagrams for doing bare-bones wiring? Also, can anyone confirm if I can use the stock gauge cluster? Just looking for any tips/helpful hints for wiring an 01 LS1 harness into a 97 240sx.

blu808 · 12-27-2009, 12:20 AM

You can use the stock gauge cluster using the dakota digital speedo conversion box, and tachometer correction.

All you need in order to get the car to start is to reflash the ecu to get rid of the VATS (technically it will start but only for like 3 seconds with it still on).

GM has always used the pink wire as switched power, red as constant 12V and Purple as the main starter solenoid lead. in a nutshell... give ignition power to the pink wires, constant power to the orange ones, take off VATS, and it runs.

the other wires you hook up are just gauge wires, reverse lights, ect.... nothing hard.

its ALMOST a stand alone harness already... only diff is it will have a couple extra wires left after its hooked up.. not a big deal..

theres one more wire not listed there.. its a thick purple wire that goes to the starter.

when it gets +12v, the starter turns the motor over.

Taken from ls1tech.com

Check out this thread. it has the answers to all your questions my friend.

Sir · 01-18-2010, 06:41 PM

actually no tach correction needed.
LS1 uses 4cylinder output for tach.

shinrekka · 01-22-2010, 05:13 PM

Awile ago I got an email from auto rnd stating that a ford 302 swap kit was underway. Anyone hear anything since? I can get a 302 for free anyday of the week. And NO i dont want to spend on an ls1, im not ballin.

DrifterJoeOK · 03-02-2010, 08:48 AM

Anyone done an ls1 swap lately, I have an s13 just wanted to know what the current price would be

Expensive! LS1 with T56 combos are going for way over $3-4k around here, if you can still find them.

qwarnon · 03-16-2010, 10:46 PM

some one asked about tranny mounts? i have an extra mckinney t5/t56 mount if anyone wants it.

SBC240 · 03-16-2010, 11:33 PM

I just finished my 400sb swap in my 91. Its not an LSx but its chevy. I'll have to post up pics.

I'm also interested in 302 swaps. Anyone know of any kits that are available?

qwarnon · 03-22-2010, 02:41 PM

honestly, no need for kits, find a good welder/fabricator, that knows something about cars (heck most exhaust shops probably have a descent welder employed, and have them make you some motor mounts and a tranny mount.

Stupid question but would one not be able to just weld the 302 motor mounts from a foxbody onto the S14 crossmember? I realize this isn't an optimal set up as far as weight distribution but it seems like an easy way to do it.

qwarnon · 03-22-2010, 07:04 PM

it is possible that it would work, but the oil pan may not clear. thats where your biggest problem would be. you pretty much find out where to put it for the oil pan to clear and them make your mounts., or do it the other way around, either way, you will most likely need a custom pan.

yokotas13 · 04-10-2010, 10:50 PM

where is a good site to buy a v8 240. id just like to go ahead and buy one swapped
v8silvia only has a few nad id rather a small block than an LS

qwarnon · 04-10-2010, 10:52 PM

you probably won't find one online very easy, check your local craigslist other than that, good luck lol.

yokotas13 · 04-10-2010, 10:54 PM

yeah, none

Jegs or Summit offers very competitive pricing on new SBC stufff. You can get a new 350 longblock for about $1,500+shipping.

WISH ONE · 04-10-2010, 11:06 PM

theres a dude in the FS section selling one but it needs a new block.
I think he has a connect on a new long block as well. check that out i think he wants like 5k.

yokotas13 · 04-10-2010, 11:14 PM

yeah, but i dont really haev the time or desire to find someoen in the myrtlebeach area that can do the swap. its not like its an awesomely easy swap

if i can find someone that can do it for a reasonable price, id gladly buy a new 350 and trans and have it done, but i dont want to pay out of my ass to do it you know?
