late night brain storm

I'm not sure that there's much of a demand for something like this. IS300 owners are fairly methodical with their modifications (NA-T, GTE swap).

 

It's a good thought, but I don't see there being enough of a market to make this extremely lucrative.

its not about demand..its about cool factor

I think an LS1 has been stuffed into just about everything at this point.

even pauls sister

Do it then. I do require to be one of the test drivers, however. ;)

i require to be that guy, that makes kits for old ball swaps like this.

 

 

1st off, the ls1 has torque...no 2jz does, and the bigger the HD, well..

2nd i can only really find the 80 early 90s cars getting all the swaps

3rd most swap in the toyota v-8's, and well, they dont make tons of shit for those at like say jegs now do they?

 

that twin set up on the gte, sucks to work on. and i bet, a 5.3ls/t56 with a turbo or blower, would be way more fun to drive, and easyer to drift..oh and have way more torque!

^^ picture source, no build thread.

i found that thread and only looked a little bit..and of course its over sea's..i noticed the brake boost on the wrong side..lmao.

 

i' found tons of yota v-8 swap info on them.

 

and just like gm guys, toyota owners are all about branding. but they still take and us ford bodys now dont they...lol

A single turbo 2JZ is easy to work on. :)

 

Do you have a line for a car or are you purely speculating at this point?

You want a project? I'm looking to import the AWD system from a Nissan Primera next year. It'd be the first AWD converted G20 in the States. We can talk about it sometime when I'm at the shop.

im game.....if the funding is there...;)

You mean audi 100 motor?

 

Yeah, 3hp per liter or whatever a SBC makes is pretty sweet i guess :rolleyes:

 

Are you a fucking tard? Going to do the HP per liter thing?

 

How about something that matters...like size and weight of the motor. Your precious little 4.2L Audi V8 is physically LARGER than a 7 liter LS7.

Not really sure on the 'why' of this. It already has a great engine in it that can make power and is extremely reliable. Yes, you can make some more power and torque with a better curve a little 'easier' in the LS engine, but it's not enough to be worth the headache of the swap. It's a million times easier to go NA-T or GTE swap and make the same power and a little less torque.

 

Sure, 5.0 in a Miata. I get it. Shitty engine originally. This I don't get.
