Sikky LS1 Powered 350z Hits Wall @ GT Live - Oct 3rd, 2008

[DarknessOfFlames]

should of just give me the car for free if all they do is smash the car onto a wall or shit...

[UunonMopo]

ricer dont mess with american engine. and results are here

[atekido]

@UunonMopo car was faster than anyhting you will ever own.

[UunonMopo]

@atekido ?????

[gtrtalon45]

one reason people use ls engines in formula d is because it is more easy to find parts for it. it will make more horsepower then whatever engine it is replacing(usually) and with that there is no need to completely rebuild the motor it replaced .and it is a pretty reliable engine

[lovelycusp]

LS1 got a little more power than the three five. hate that for him though cos his heart is in the right place :)

[cobrafang100]

dumb ass, lay off the gas a little bit, especially in a car with that much power :(

[xTechnoKillerx]

Lol the guy in the background at 0:22 "You need to call Geico"

[iBEaSTEYY17]

Jeez.. that car hit the wall so hard it made it look like the wall was Styrofoam..

[xm154609]

driver... YOUR FIRED!!!

[coverdale20]

My God...! Now that I can put an LS motor into a Nissan 350z there is no need for the new Camaro. I didn't like it much in the first place, but I definitely won't consider one now...! Love live the Z-car.

[rkd350z]

LS2 is light weight, 400hp/400tq to begin with, cheap and reliable.

I'm going to Put LS2/T56 in my 350z with Sikky conversion kit!

[jared040282]

There is no replacement for displacement.

[Red97Avenger]

@jared040282 .... search forced induction and how the extra added cfm is a basically a displacement multiplier ...

[jared040282]

@Red97Avenger If i got 850 CFM carb on a SBC then put it on a K20 I would have to build a motor that would take the pressure needed to burn the same amount of fuel in the K20. So I would be looking at spending more money for a motor that needs more maintenance. $5000 swap with a LS6, or build up the smaller motor that will never reach 400lb of tq. and cost $50,000 bucks. I do understand what you are saying but in most cases people will go the cheaper way when it comes to horsepower.

[Red97Avenger]

@jared040282 ... yeah ok dude

[nando937]

@jared040282Yes it's called  forced induction

[jared040282]

@nando937 ? i dont understand, why would u tell me this. i did not say turbo or supercharged. i said cfm, google it.

[dham99]

so what all this boils down to is..how many of you could REALLY do a self engine swap, let alone rebuild a motor from block up...few. These guys that mod do it as a hobby, not becausethey want to impress you. There is NO debate at the power an LSX motor can pull NA before any pricey mod to a stock VQ motor is worth comparing. Its a nice car, and a car guy's hobby. Just admire it, be jealous, or give your constructive .02. Id love to have a 350 with an LSx series motor myself.

[1dabest]

johnycreamcorn your garbage!!! and so is RedLudeBB1

[johnycreamcorn]

it's a wast of a good motor putting it in a piece of shit 350Z

[Ballbuster319]

what the fukk is ur prob

[RedLudeBB1]

If you put an LS1 in a 350z, you diserve to hit a wall. lol

All you need to do is turbo it to make enough power.

[SkurtnCurt]

Redube is an idiot along with most of the rest of you guys on here who dont know what you are talking about. you deserve to hit a wall for having the balls to get on here and talk about something you know nothing about. people do swaps to be different instead of having the same thing as everyone else and the reason you dont just turbo a z is because you need to build the motor first. 350z r notorious for blowin up when pushed past 400hp the internals cant handle it so you have to build the z

[RedLudeBB1]

Something I know nothing about huh?

That z's internals stock could easily handle 300+hp, its just a matter of how long it will handle it for before it blows up. Now saying that it needs to be built, well no shit, thats a givin with any car you plan on racing around a track. And if your gonna talk shit on somebody, at least spell their screen name right you idiot.

[SkurtnCurt]

Ya clearly something you know nothing about. of course they are meant to handle 300hp because thats almost what the come with. i'm talking about if you spend the time and effort to turbo your z which would put you much closer to 400hp. which is what i said not 300. i dont know why im even wasting my time with this because obviously i couldnt say anything that would make sense in your tiny little head. i hope i never drive anything you have touched

[sford01]

@SkurtnCurt I've personally seen a Z making 600+rwhp on boost alone on a stock block that was pushed over and over and over again on the strip without a problem. My daily driven Z made 420+rwhp with a SAFE tune on a stock engine for multiple years. You're right, to make BIG horsepower the engine must be built, but 400+rwhp is very common with just the install of a quality twin turbo kit and a good tune. I can have many other twin turbo Z owners confirm that.

[DVcustomZ]

@SkurtnCurt 400whp is nothing to a VG30DETT and they make more tq than horsepower and have low end.It is becuase the 350z is a fake as the most of the owners. The 370Z is the true replacement for the 300zx (Z32). PPl swap in the LS becuase they R unknowledgeable and take what they think is the easy route

[atekido]

@DVcustomZ you moron. the vq37 is a weak engine. there are 2-3 TT guys over at the370 forum all of them at 8-10 lbs boost are stuck in the 500 rwhp range and only high 390 to low 400 TQ range. turbo ls1's can hit 600+ rwhp with only 6-7 lbs of boost and make aorund 590 tq. and the ls1 can handle the pressure alot longer.

[DVcustomZ]

@atekido Ok, forum racer factor in the cost of the lsx then factor in it was never meant to be boosted (fyi na-t domestics do not last) factor in turbo kit cost of wiring harness, the turbo kit, manifords tranny, mounts engine and tranny, then factor the 4l80e has to be rebuilt to handle over 400whp that's another 3500.00 then factor in drive shaft and the custom work then factor in cost of swap even if yu do it your self. If you have an ls1 camaro obv it is cheaper but cont

[DVcustomZ]

@atekido cont. this is a swap not to mention those are forum numbers you are spoutng out I can tell you a factory ls1 will not handle boost to hit 600whp in daily conditions definitely not track duty then still not for long.. FACTS I actually build cars the factory vq37de (not vq35de) will handle stock 550whp no rebuild with turbo kit and fuel on stock tranny and clutch.I have seen first hand what a 2011 v8TT camaro can do w/its 10k kit+ install whopping 525whp these are facts.

[mznhu]

@DVcustomZ

I think he might have been talking about the LS3...it has a tougher bottom end with thicker cylinder walls

[DVcustomZ]

@mznhu He said LS1 and I know for a fact a stock ls1 is not going t hit 600whp for long. Buddy's c5 twin turbo makes 550whp and that tuned. PPl love to get on forums and youtube and repeat lies that were passed off as truth. BUILD YOUR CAR AND PROVE YOUR STATEMENTS OR SHUTUP. Prev comment not directed at mznhu just the posers and e-mechanics

[VeTTeMaNC486]

Dani01c are you really as stupid as it seems you are? Why would anyone want a smaller engine vs a larger one if the larger one is more powerful weighs around the same and gets better fuel economy? Who cares if the engine is bigger? Wow big deal. My 04 z06 got around 28-29 highway going 60+ before I did my cam swap. Big doesn't mean inefficent anymore with modern technology homeboy. If bigger was not as good why do alot of the bad supras run 3.4L strokers? Do you know even what a stroker is?

[901jzsupra]

i remember seeing this car at JE after the wreck...but these guys know what they are doing...i mean hell they did my 1jz supra swap and its still running strong!

[iraceimports]

i used to work for JE...if you guys knew wat you were talking about you'd know that a V8 is a good candidate motor for a drift car.....torque basically off idle. Thats the name of the game....car was fixed within 2 months and now back up and running

[Devius2006]

4wheel steering now lol

[08MS3uknw]

well...damn

[WhyTheyCallMeNoob]

thats what happens when you put a real engine in a riceburner lol probably couldnt handle all the power

[Dani01c]

thank you god hope that z burns in hell why would you replace the beautifull sounding vq for a redneck ls1? that is just fucked up man

[SlickShoesC6]

Lol @ Dani01c. Most ignorant post ever. Haha. Maybe a little something called displacement? Or torque? Or even gas mileage? Lol.

[Dani01c]

what for? if you can make all of that up twin turboing it :S.. tipical american thought.. bigger better.. riiight..

[SlickShoesC6]

Take a look at my profile and notice I'm in England, retard. Typical ignorant teenager. And no, you CANNOT "make it up" by "twin turboing it". A twin turbo kit alone for a VQ35 costs more than an entire LSx swap, and with the swap, you can sell off the VQ35 and recoup over half of the funds. Man, you really are stupid. Hang yourself.

[Dani01c]

um correction to u i didnt call u american its just an american thoght.. not "U ARE AN AMERICAN".. and i just searched the internet and turbokits in ebay are for less than $1k except turbonetics and things that expensive which were around 3k.. i looked ls1 in ebay and it was worth $4500 almost all if not 3k... its more or less the same shit with turbo kit u get 350+ horsepower so.. i dont think im stupid maybe u felt insulted by the american thing.. but then again why do u like american stuff?

[SlickShoesC6]

Please. If you think some Chinese "$1k Ebay Turbo Kit" on your $30k+ 350Z will actually function properly, then there is no need for this discussion to continue. I'll set the record straight for you. Until you have multiple LSx swaps into RWD Japanese cars under your belt like I do, please stop commenting. We're just wrapping up an LS1 into and FD RX7 at the moment over here, and will be starting on an LS2 350Z inside of a couple weeks. Experience > Google Warrior.

[Dani01c]

uuhh ok congrats on converting a import japanise into a redneck car :) eitherways.. i did not say chinese turbo kit theres aps which is about 2-3k still less expensive.. but hey evryone to its own.. we differ in our ways of thinking you rather put american engines on cars id rather turbo import cars.. thats it..

[Dani01c]

and i forgot to mention that price was for ls1 only, nothing else of the swap so.. means its even more expensive..

[spartan177saber]

i wish a Corvette was a typical redneck car, id like one lol. LSx engines are very thought out and efficient. what other engines you know get 400hp/400torque, weigh about as much as a v6 and get 28mpg? typical ricer idiology. nothing wrong with RB26DETT's or 2JZ's but ill stick with LSx's and 4.6L-SC's

[Dani01c]

when did i say corvette was a redneck car?.. you are jumping into conclusions.. and congrats on you preference its called opinion.. not always having the biggest engine means that youll get the fastest cars.. is funny how for example a m3 has like half the engine than those lsx are and make more power (excluding ls7) and is faster than for example any camaro..

[spartan177saber]

You know how light LSx engines are? I have a very light car, Ford Zx2, which makes a MR2 look heavy and the difference in weight between my Zetec 4 cylinder and the LS2 is 50lbs. Thats amazing imo. Oh, and btw, the highest hp M3 which is the newest one at like 414 still is only 14 extra horses than a normal, cheaper LS2 and has 105lbs less torque and is around 20lbs heavier than an LS2....those, however, are not my opinions, they are fact

[Dani01c]

cool they still dont produce more power while needing 6.2liter.. yes it is more compact but the fact is that a piston from those engines are probably bigger than your face.. compare a camaro vs the m3 for example ant try in tell me in which way is faster than the m3... i think the answer is none..

[spartan177saber]

you dont get it. the LS2 gets like 28 mpg cause of how efficient the engine is. i doubt the M3 gets much more than that if any

[Dani01c]

if i want to go fast... why the fuck will i care for fuel economy? that is just stupid..

[spartan177saber]

you just complained about it being a 6.? liter.

[Dani01c]

aha and making less power too..

[spartan177saber]

the point is it may be a bigger liter but if you dont care about it dont bring it up cause the LS2 gets better gas mileage . and imo the LS2 makes better power cause id take the extra 105lbs of torque over the 14hp

[Dani01c]

congrats but the 105lbs of torque you fix that problem with gear ratios.. simple as that.. thats why they have short gears.. and if we talk of which is more powerfull etc we are far away from the economy conversation so stop bringing it up its irrelevant..

[VeTTeMaNC486]

If you think a ls1 cost that much you must be looking at a brand new one or something. Stock decent mile GEN IIIs are dime a dozen almost. U can get one with wiring harness and assessorys for less that those turbo kits you are talking about. And lol @ the ebay turbo kit. If its too good to be true.... well you know..

[Dani01c]

well.. engines were from there too lol.. this z needed to die its like a transexual dude or a gay guy lol... i wonder what would you think of a 2jz corvette or something.. that must be fucked up XD

[VeTTeMaNC486]

there is a difference. The point is to improve the platform from which you are building. A 2jz would not be an improvement. Just different.

[Dani01c]

well i guess making more power is an improvement.. if it makes more power then it should be if it doesnt than i guess it isnt.. its like gym doing different exercises but if you get stronger and more muscle than you are improving.. right?

[ocarrera164]

Its not always about how much power you can make...its being different that's more important sometime. Racing is turning into mechanical chemistry. A 2jz corvette is an interesting concept but that doesnt make it wrong or make it a failure by any means...And by the way Chris Forsberg drove a V8 350z all thru the '08 Pro FD season. So not every Z needs to be boosted.

[VeTTeMaNC486]

If being different is important for you then sure. A 2jz in a vette makes nosince. By the time u bought the motor and did all the work to put it in and get it running correctly with the corvette's dash and a good single set up on it you could have built and boosted a LSx that would suck the valve cover or cam cover or whatever the supra guys call'em off the 2jz. Nothing agaisnt the 2jz here, sweet motor and its pretty incredible in its stock and modded form but lets be reasonable here.

[tylerxfire]

damn, damn, damn, but still should have went ls2 over ls1.. then again guess he didn't need it, held up pretty decent though
