I think when I do my V8 swap, I should make it a sleeper. All stock body except rims, and some Flowmasters so it runs quiet until I rev it up. And then some *** in a Mustang or Camaro will be like "nice ricer" and then I rev it up and they get all scared cuz I have the same amount of cylinders haha.
@SuperFast3OOOGT " It has a lot more potential with turbo upgrades, " Nothing has more potential than an LS1. sorry. He would of wasted money to get the same HP this motor can output with mild work done to it.
Does anyone know who makes and/or where I can get the motor mounts for this conversion? This is awesome and I have always loved the american V8. Thanx for your time and help.
The LS1 in there doesn't weight all that much Cuba. To each their own I say, good job on the swap even if this video is old and I have seen more swaps like this lately. Even in RX8's now.
No offense. Like the car and what not BUT I would of went with a 2jz swap or even a 1jz swap out of a lexus. V8. Lighter. Make same power if not more depending on condition of motor.
@cubaguy87 or you could just go with the vg30dett that the car comes with just upgrade turbos but the ls1 does have a more evil sound not that the vg30dett doesnt :-)
@cubaguy87 fucking WRONG! you dont know shit about the lsx series motors. theyre definitely lighter than a 2j and a 1j. before you go and post up your assumptions, read up on some shit. i fucking hate bench racers
I will need a motor soon and would love give my na some balls. Ls1 seems to be my first choice. 6 speed and still can slap twins in it... My erection will be perman
@daWKin548 an ls will make alot more than 500 bhp , add 2000hp to that and now your talking, and btw an ls wont stop at 2500 hp either. you have no fucking idea .
@CBCOlympics my toaster will make 500hp, you yanks are so behind in engine development, in england we have F1 cars with 2.4L cosworth engines making 600+ hp, so get some enginering capabilites and then come back and shat, also 2500hp? you make me laugh, random numbers dont float on youtube
@daWKin548 1st im not a yank, 2nd how the fuck can you compare an f1 engine to a street engine ?you ignorant fuck! you have no idea what an ls is capable of , ive seen as high as 4000 hp, and they go higher than that im sure, trust me i know what im talking about , why dont you take about 4 years of schooling and 10 years under the hood of a car and about a thousand fuel injection courses before running your mouth like that , you clearly know fuck all about cars.
@daWKin548 hey pal 600+ hp is pussy shit i think you should probly up your engineering capabilities....and the only reason you dont believe CBCOlympics's comment about 2500 hp motors is because you probably dont even think its possible to build one...hell ive built a motor like that in my home basement...for fun
@daWKin548 now that i think about it...ive seen 150ci 2-cylinder MOTORCYCLE motors make well over 2000 hp.........2-CYLINDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....even at that point they werent even maxed out............do you really think 600 hp 4-cyl motors are impressive?? cuz i do not
/EXTREME FACEPALM BEYOND RECOGNITION OF IDIOTICITY THAT YOU DESCRIBED
WHY would you dare to even COMPARE a RACE engine towards a STREET engine? MY mind was BLOWN towards your lack of common sense that i can't tell you how as you killed all my brain cells.
@undeadkillers what would you kno?? honestly why are yu even in this convo??? 2000hp is streetable...therefore a street engine...you seriously just sound like a retarded wanna-be-know-it-all douchebag tryna put his two-cents in even though he doesnt have half-a-penny to spare because he gets all of his knowledge from watchin youtube. seriously i dont need you to tell me the difference between a race motor or a street motor. i do this shit everyday for a living. i dont need a "backseat driver"
@faded2blak oh look another fucking american who thinks power is the key. I bet i could beat all these '2000hp' machines round a corner on my fucking push bike, or actually i could walk past them when they have blown up at the end of the road, cos if it isn't a '67 chevy big block with a roots blower supercharger runnin on 92 octane pump gas, then you americans dont wanna know, get gone you fags, i dont care, i posted half these comments like 5 months ago
@daWKin548 Oh please they're only a mildly tuned engine designed to run day in and day out reliably to 100000 miles and beyond. Show me another man. with a 500 hp N/A v8 with decent gas mileage, great reliability, lightweight, mildly tuned, and as inexpensive as the ls7. You can't. You got ferrari's newer v8 aggressively tuned close to its maximum potential in a street application, comparatively bad fuel economy, don't even know if it'll start on a cold day, expensive, high maintenance, ect,
@RedBeauty84ZX thank you. i'm not bashing on the other guy or LS1's, i think theyre awesome motors. but i think some more research needs to be done before false information is thrown out.
@joe645733 Call me ignorant but I still think LS1's are more power effcient. Cams/heads/bolton LS1 is 450-500 horse and that costs just shy of 3 grand. There alot less of a hassle to take care of then a vg30 motor as well. And if money isnt a variable anymore a TT ls1 would stomp a tt vg30.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost rwhp? no. bhp? yes. i believe the LS1 can make 500bhp with bolt-ons aka around 440 -50rwhp but it'd cost more than 3k. and if the owner knows what he's doing with his own 300zx, it wouldn't be a hassle to him to work on it. and if money isn't a varaible anymore, a TT LS1 would not stomp a 300zxtt. and i'm talking street legal cars here. not some all out drag car bullshit.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost you're not understanding turbos very well. the number of pressure from the turbos doesn't exactly mean much. if you see a car with a turbo motor in it, you'll see many turbos in the 20-40psi range for big power. you wont see an n/a car with a turbo kit added with those numbers. for instance, a 350z that has been tt'd has had number in the 600rwhp @ 18lbs of boost. or if u go to evo's, they'll usually be running in the high 20's for that kind've power. depends on the turbo
@joe645733 No, im not understanding your english very well, not to be rude but could please explain what that comment even meant? "you wont see an n/a car with a turbo kit added with those numbers" - You. Huh? Charlie Givilancz owns a T/A with an LS1 TT setup and at 16psi he makes 854RWHP. 18psi 923RWHP.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost what i meant was, you won't see an n/a motor that has been TT'd have high pressure from the turbos. an n/a motor that has been TT'd works differently than a turbo motor. for example, i've never seen a turbo'd LS1 with 40lbs of boost like supra or evo would have. i'm just saying the number of psi from the turbos doesn't really mean much depending on what motor it is.
@joe645733 You dont need high boost numbers on a v8 because it already makes more then enough power at low boost. 40psi on a V8 would twist the frame of the car in half. The differnce is that turbo motors have lower compression and usually a stiffer valvetrain to take the pressurized air thats being blown into the cylinder, they dont "work" differently. A supra NEEDS 40psi to make big power, a v8 doesnt. Im not admitting something that isnt true.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost LS1 motors can't run high boost due to the high compression. if you went with more boost than you normally see, you'd NEED to use the correct kind of gas or else it'd detonate. it's not just because they don't need a higher number of boost. trust me, if it was possible to do so on the LS1, everyone would do it for the high number of power. the LS1 cannot handle high boost, that's all
@joe645733 Yeah you have to get low compression pistons if you wanna go FI on an LS1 because its N/A from the factory. Any motor can handle high boost if built properly so your wrong there. The vg30tt has detonation at 15psi on 91 octance which requires a meth injection kit, LS1 doesnt. I exhaggerated the 40 psi about the supra. Exactly, your just "sayin" its completely irrelevent to the arguement.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost completley irrevelent when you've changed the topic of this arguement (or whatever this is) about 3 times. and again you're wrong about detonation with the vg motor @ 15psi. where are you getting this retarded information from? a single chip from any aftermarket manufacturer PUTS you at atleast 15psi. why would they do that if they knew it'd detonate? and you show me the pistons for an LS1 that can handle such psi from a turbo. or if u want, just get back on topic?
@joe645733 Can you not fucking read? I said you would have to put low compression pistons in an LS1 for high boost. There's a huge topic about detonation on the vg30 motor on z32 tuning forums, check it out for yourself. I dont mind argueing with you because Id like to learn some things for myself but god damn you need to be more clear.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost i understand low compression pistons to maybe get 14-15 psi. but i was just making a statement saying i've never seen a camaro with 25-30psi. that is because it's not possible. and send me a link to where u saw people, (who know what they're talking about) say the 300zxtt detonates at 14psi or w.e.
@joe645733 For refernce to a camaro on 25-30psi go to NRE.com, they build LS1's making 1500 hp on hi boost. I already linked it for you like 5 different times dude, seems like you dont even read my comments. z32power.com
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost i looked at NRE and saw a 1500hp 1971 camaro twin turbo. but he says he has a racing motor in it. i doubt it isn't like the LS1 today. and yes i read your comments, but i asked you to show me where you saw those facts on z32power.com. a link or somethin
@joe645733 Theres an LS1 on there from an 00 z28 that they build and TT, google it if you cant find it on the site. You want me to link it out for you to? Go on the forums and do some research, i dont remember exactly which topic out of the thousands it was.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost yeah, find that info about the 300zx. but anyways, looks like the original topic is over and i'm victorious! lol im kidding.no but seriously...there's no way you can find an LS1 cheaper to get to 450rwhp than the 300zxtt. you can add up all the pricing or w.e you wanna do.
@joe645733 I backed up all my info and proved you wrong and you stick with your ignorant state of mind. Judging by the way you type I can tell your young and think you know everything. Ignorance is bliss kiddo, have a nice day.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost you didn't give one source about anything besides telling me to look up a shop's race car that had 1500hp. i asked you to provide the link where it's supposibly a fact that the z32tt can't handle 14lbs of boost on stock turbos, to which it was cheaper for an LS1 to make 450rwhp than the z32tt, and giving me details about an LS1 that can run boost like a supra or evo.
^ to which i can care less bout, because i would've rather gotten back on topic.
@joe645733 I gave you the source you failed to look it up. Want me to draw it out in crayons and big letters for you to? 14lbs on stock turbos? Are you making shit up now I said 19-20. I said 15psi for detonation, dont mix shit up and throw it back at me.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost ok whatever, 14-15lbs. there's not really a difference. and yeah, when you think you know facts about something, usually the person will give a source. you even said on z32power you saw it. i can't find it, so then show me. you even said you didn't know anything about these cars, yet you're acting like you own one. i've been driving on nearly 18psi for the past two years now. the car runs like it's brand new. so get the crayons out.
@joe645733 5psi can make a huge difference moron. You cant find it? Your obviosly stupid as fuck then. Im not taking the crayons out for a retard, learn something yourself dont rely on everyone else.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost i think that reply would suit you best. i understand people have their own opinions on cars. but since you don't know how to give sources because you're a fucking dumbass, you'll never prove me wrong. how can you say i'm wrong when i own the car you're talking about. you said it'd detonate with the stock turbos at 15psi. i'm saying that's false because i've been running on almost 18psi for a very long time.but you some how don't understand that so you cry like a little bitch
@joe645733 I gave you source your to stupid to use it. z32power.com Go to that bar on the top of your screen. Type in the address. Go to the "Forums" section. Click the "Search" bar and type in vg30dett detonation. Read and weep. The crayons are out for you sir.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost what i said is true, n/a motors with turbo kits don't need high amounts of pressure from the turbos to make good power. which is when i stated boosted n/a motors just work differently than FI motors. and no, a supra doesn't need 40lbs of boost lol. 26psi can easily get you over 700rwhp. and that number is pretty crazy to me for a street legal car. i'm just stating a fact that an LS1 motor can't handle high psi. does it need to? no, but im just sayin
@joe645733 "what i said is true, n/a motors with turbo kits don't need high amounts of pressure from the turbos to make good power" That doesnt make any sense. A naturally aspirated 4 cyl still needs high amounts of pressure to make good power. I hope you meant v8 motors, not n/a motors.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost i don't know what else to say to you. you've changed the topic a few times but you won't admit it's cheaper to make the z32 faster than an LS1. 450whp, 500whp, 600whp, it doesn't matter.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost and you're correct about the 300zx. for the stock turbos, yes it would take 16psi to hit 400hp. i'm at 16psi @ 391rwhp on 93 octane.
and hey, if i had a couple thousand to spend, i'd go with bigger turbos, injectors, and intercoolers to put me close to 600hp. you're underestimating the power of a 300zxtt.
@joe645733 riiiight. stock 300z tt war rated (15 years ago, assuming your engine has no wear-and-tear) at 300hp, 283tq and weighs 3300lbs. Stock 04 Vette rated at 350hp, 360tq and weighs 3200lbs. THOSE are the facts. tell me how a heavier and older car, with skinnier tires can out run a more powerful, newer, lighter car?
@joe645733 Stock VQ30TT is 300hp/283trp and a stock LS1 has 335hp/350trq and has an aluminum block so its much lighter. A stock ls1 would blow by a stock vq30. And if you twin turbo'd an LS1 you would be looking at 600ish horsepower. You clearly have no fucking idea what your talking about.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost ok and if you put the money towards the 300zx, you'd also make that much power too. but it'd just be a lot cheaper.
listen, i never said i've never seen a 600hp camaro. alls i said was a simple adjustment to the turbos, (which are stock on the 300zxtt) would make able to beat an LS1. it's a fact and that's all i was trying to prove. jebus.
@joe645733 You cant just crank up the boost on the turbos and expect some results. More boost needs more fuel and more pressure creates more heat which needs more cooling. Im sure the iron block and solid internals of the VQ can handle it but it would bigger injectors and upgraded intercooler, a tune etc... In the end the LS1 can make a lot more power then the VQ for a similar cost. You will never beat a v8 when it comes to power effciency.
@joe645733 Incorrect? You really think you can stay with stock fuel and cooling forever? Let me know when something blows. And only 391rwhp on 16lbs? An ls1 makes more then that with just bolt-ons and a cam.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost i understand that and believe that. but my car also has simple bolt-ons. the modifications to make the power i have is just a full exhaust and a chip. i'm not saying my car will run forever with what it has now. as a matter of fact, no car can run forever without maintanence. but i know i'll be fine with what i'm running now. i'm just stating it costs less money to make power with a turbo motor than an n/a.
@joe645733 See I really find that hard to beilive because if you really want to go in terms of cost, you can get a 454 from the junkyard for dirt cheap, drop some money into it and you have yourself 500 RELIABLE crank horsepower for less then the cost of a stock 300zx.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost ok you're saying a 454 motor costs less than a stock 300zx. i'm sure everyone knows that. but we're not talking about different motors here. for an ls1 to make 500bhp with bolt ons costs at least 3k or over. it's cheaper for the 300zx to achieve 500hp. and don't forget a tune for the ls1 too.
@joe645733 500hp would require 18-20psi on a 300zx. The stock 330cc injectors max out at 14psi so you need new injectors. After 15psi on that motor with 91 octane you start to get detonation so you would need a meth injectoion kit as well. The stock pistons and rods on the VG30 couldent hold 500hp for long so you would need to replace those as well. And the stock turbos max out at 19psi so your pushing your turbos to the limit. Lookin at 6k+ for a reliable 500 out of a 300zxtt
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost see, what you need to do is first learnt he facts about the car. the z comes with 370cc injectors, not 330cc. the turbos do not max out @ 19lbs with propper supporting mods. the stock turbo record on a 300zx is 499rwhp @ 24psi. the internals of the motor are forged and i've seen plenty at over 600rwhp. do they drive it for years? i dont know, i dont know them personally. but it has happened plenty of times.
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost i've seen most packages for close to 450rwhp on the ls1 go for well over 3k (this is from the ls1 forums). so many people are asking for a cheap 500hp on the forums and most responds they get is that it isnt really cheap.
@joe645733 Yeah but its not nearly as expensive as 500 reliable horse from a vg30. Every Ive said is directly from z32power.com So you can argue with the tuners there about that. 24psi Record? As in it happened once? lol. Im talking RELIABLE HORSEPOWER here, not crank the boost up and have fun for 2 weeks until it blows. Simple put, V8's are just a more superior motor for performance, end of story...
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost ok you're talking about reliability but you have no evidence to show that a 300zxtt can't handle 450rwhp. even show me 500rwhp. shit i'm running stock turbos @ a little over 400rwhp and i've had it for nearly two years. i'm just stating a fact, that it's cheaper to achieve 450rwhp with a 300zxtt than an ls1. and the 300zx would be tuned as well WITH a lower cost. so yes, it would be reliable. even a simple chip gives you nearly 100rwhp. and it costs what, 400 bucks?
Nice car man!!! I was just wondering what was involved in the electrical aspect of the conversion? I have a ls6 engine and am in the process of picking up a 300zx.
wat a rice burner. i cant stand these japanese cars because as you know the americans are ALWAYS the best. i just bought a camaro and it do 0-60 1 second.
Its a 300zx what more is there to say. I'm considering doing the LS1 swap in my 96 300zx but have too many projects so it'll have to wait but concerning power/weight ratio it'll definently be a badass car when its done. Until then i'm stayin VG30. even n/a its a badass motor. a few mods. 242hp
@ChaoticXCarnage Every Ls1 swap that I have seen makes less whp then my conversion made with a chip and stock short block. I am all for different and to each his own but why spend 7k on a motor swap to get 400whp my car made 384 tq 374 whp at 12psi max was 21psi and still got 22mpg (8.5:1 cr). Maybe a LS1 swap with a procharger or STS system but not just an NA LS
@EatPez I do not see where my statement is no false I provided the dyno NOT crank WHP for my swap with exhaust. I am talking WHP numbers not car math and crank numbers every swap I have seen makes less than 400WHP and for the cost associated with it I do not see it. PPl keep throwing weight differences like they are prof AUTOX racers or time attack DD that 80lb difference is a non factor. Like I sd unless U add F/I to the LS I dont get it. I am in the planning of a domestic swap myself no HATE
@DVcustomZ Every LS swap you've seen makes less than 400whp? is that what you're saying? and you don't think that's false? All you have to do to get 400whp is a cam and headers. The only way to get 400whp LS1 is with FI? No, the only way to get a 700whp LS1 is with FI. Again, please get some experience in engine swapping, namely LS1 engine swapping, before you make blanket statements about it. Also, most of the people who engine swap, don't do it for cost effective reasons.
@EatPez First off U cannot say my statement is false. I did not say every LS1 is less than 400whp I sd every LS1 swap I hve seen is less than 400whp. like the one in this vid is less than 400whp. Just like you r original statement comparing stock numbers. A boost controller more than surpasses the LS1 for $200. Your statement "LS1TT=600hp" How many LS Z32 swaps hve you sn that R over 400whp. My statement stands my VG30dett swap made 100more whp not HP than the LS1 only mod BOOST Controller
if it was a N/A 300zx I would do it too(or make it twin turbo) But in their day they were known as the Vette killer. One of the fastest cars of the time. It still has the look of the Z though and its not riced out thank God.
The Z can do what skeptics says it can't. I don't care what engine it has. As long as it looks like a Z. I prefer the VG because it still holds a world record. But I wouldn't mind having a light weight Chevy V8 powered Z32, just for fun.
Imports are still imports regardless of how it came to the US. I've meet 2 different S15 owners that live close to me, and they didn't have to crash a second car. I'm selling a REGISTERED REAL RHD 1994 FD RX7 Enfini for $6700 without the engine. I was selling it for $16,000 but the engine was sold
To mentor2506. Dude,,, you're telling me something I already know. My people at FSR Motorsports imports Supras all the time from Japan for the D1 Grand Prix. It's not as bad as people think, despite the current and new laws. The newer GTR is still a Skyline.
Plus, import sports cars like the 300ZX, Supra, Skylines, FD RX7, Siliva S13, S14, S15, etc, are great daily drivers, drag racing, time attack, road racing, and track cars. They look sooo damn good when fixed correctlly and that's why people love imports. My 90 Z32 and 95 Supra are very dependable, sexy as hell, and perform like a dream.
@juno4000 S15 and Skyline aren't considered import in the states because they can not be brought here anymore. The laws changed and import cars from japan are a bitch to get in the states. Even Canadian versions are a bitch to get registered. You have to buy 2 of the cars so the DOT can crash test one to get safety data.
There's no respect when it comes to any modified front wheel drive economy car, import or domestic. Supras, 300ZX, FD RX7, Skylines are performance import sports cars. Civics, inFAGras, de sols, colbalts, neons are piece of shit economy transportation, NOT sports cars. There's a very BIG difference
Why is it if somebody like imports they're a ricer, but if somebody like American muscle they're correct and cool? Seems like all the muscle heads want to do is show off their $2,000 hooker headers while we show off our rb25det swaps for the same comparable cost.
It's not the car that's the ricer, it's the morons who strap on that damn fart/rice/shit cannon
@mentor2506 Hooker headers aren't anywhere near that cost. Infact, our parts are CHEAPER than yours are. I just bought a set of longtube headers for $160 from JEGS... NEW. The only reason why Hookers are so expensive ($500-750 generally, $1,000 if you must to have the ultimate drag header) is because they're ceramic coated and ready to go right out of the box with a huge brand name. Oh and another thing..
@DeltaElite121 Hooker headers are around $700 through AutoZone for my corvette; I work there. Import parts - even retail - are cheaper than domestic. Stage 2 cam, retainers, and springs are only 800 - that's one domestic cam. I do not wish to squabble over cost, it's not about that. It's about the love for the car. If i love brown hair, is that wrong? So if i love a import, am i gay? Am i cool if i agree with you? All i can say is, 4 rotor/ 26b:2246cc 1,200 hp
@mentor2506 Imports are generally ricers because that's what is appealing to the masses. You can get a import dirt cheap compared to a half-decent muscle car because an 'import' was NEVER a performance platform. Instead of saving their pennies and buying a performance import (import muscle, ideally) of which demands equal respect, they'de rather blow it all on some POS and throw a K&N filter on it with some Ebay turbo kit and claim they make 500 horses. There's no respect in that.
@DeltaElite121 I get where you're going, but i don't follow. Ricer = bad; so why is that desired by anybody. I consider ricer to be on the level of nigger, kike, spic, etc.
What are examples of "import muscle"?
What import is "dirt cheap compared to a half-decent muscle car" in monetary terms? (use your currency)
What are examples of "POS" [import's]?
So is respect only earned through paying 3rd-party-retail pricing instead of getting the same part in an auction?
Oh yeah,,,,, you can also get " HYPER REV FAIRLADY Z Volume .25 ". Look at pages 34, 90, and 91. You will see ECUs for high horse power tuning. Proof on paper. It even shows the JUN 91 300ZX world landspeed record car on pages 32, 33, 138, 139, 140, 141. This VG did over 267mph (424.740km/h)
Acomsrazor1776 eats donkey dick,,, next time, take the multiple dicks out of your eyes, nose, mouth, and busted ass, and get out of your caveman cave, and go do some research before you open your trap. The only bullshit is the shit from your mouth. Try again
@Acomrazor cock sucker,, that's a funny way to make yourself look stupid as a bar of soap. Ever heard of " JWT "? or what about " Ricoh Racing"? Or even " Pentroof "? There's also "JUN, MINES, BEE-R, and other racing companies that make ECU and ECU upgrades that will get a VG over 400hp
The stock VG30DETT can make over 400hp with just simple ECU tuning only. Plus you make just under 700hp on stock internals, without opening the engine. Many have done this, but a LS1 is still a good swap. Some people like the sound of a turbo and some like the rumble of a V8. I love the newer Corvettes just as much as my 90 Z32. This Z is great
@juno4000 "The stock VG30DETT can make over 400hp with just simple ECU tuning only." Survey says..... BULLSHIT! I dpn't care what anyone says you are never going to get a 100 horsepower boost from a little ECU tuning. Car manufacturers don't build an extra unused 100 horsepower into their engines. At the end of the day Car Manufactures are nothing more than bean counters cutting every last dollar they can in order to save money and an extra unused 100 horsepower is an expense they can cut.
I'm a Nissan - Supra guy, but I like the LS1 set up. I would never do it, but it's still fucken sweet. You all know the VG30DETT still has a world landspeed record @ over 267mph ( 424.074km/h ). One of the reasons for the iron block is to handle higher boost. Chevy's newer V8s in the Corvette gets better gas milege than every V8 in it's class. Sorry ford
The handling of a Japanese car and the power of an American motor. The best of both world. People this shit is awesome so stop hating i would im thinking of doing the same on mine only im putting an 03 cammed cobra motor on my 300zx
Cant keep up with the bigboys so now they use our engines hahaha pathetic just buy a v8 to start with them chasis cant handle the torque the v8 will give her
@fpvshitsonhsv "them chasis cant handle the torque the v8 will give her" noting a welder and some steel tubing can't fix. oh and by the way it's Chassis not "chasis" Youtube has a spell check for a reason.
@AcomsRazor1776 I know you rice beater clown sorry i didnt double tap the S also i have no time for spell check bullshit i have other things to do. Yes my comment was all i had to say now fuck off and dont try to tell me on how to build a real mans car!
Umm actually the chassis on these cars are very stiff.....(way stiffer than any pony car from that generation)....and the rear can actually handle the power, too. Why don't you research before making dumb comments....why do you think people are swapping V8's in these in the first place? The bodies are very strong, the cars are inexpensive, and the american motors have tons of aftermarket.
@twoeightythreez Pony car? haha in not talking about HP im talking about torque them so called "stiff chassis" doesnt do shit when a good built v8's torque twists the thing like a banana. Do yo think us blokes with the big block v8's flogen down the strip keep the chassis stock? even tho its built for a v8 many mods still take place the ones your using are built for 4cyls and are built for 4 cyls.
@fpvshitsonhsv Twist it like a banana? Lol I'd like to see that with a stock LS motor dude....I love how when you swap a V8 into a weak ass fox mustang or a vega that you have to reinforce the living crap out of and change the rear right away it's cool but when someone does it to a car like this Z that has a chassis that can handle the torque and has a unbreakable rearend it's "pathetic" because it started out as a jap.......narrow minded people suck. If you don't like it why did you watch it?
@fpvshitsonhsv Oh yes, and to reciprocate on that...if these japscrap bodies are so weak how come there's people with 240sx's (which aren't as stiff as a Z32..and actually WERE built for 4cyl) running built LS motors running 10's and below, on a stock chassis...and they're not twisting like bananas.....oh and btw the stock rearends hold up, too. As far as reinforcing the body, yes of course you do....but why not start off with a strong, stiff platform like a Z if you like it?

joe645733 1 year ago
@joe645733 Call me ignorant but I still think LS1's are more power effcient. Cams/heads/bolton LS1 is 450-500 horse and that costs just shy of 3 grand. There alot less of a hassle to take care of then a vg30 motor as well. And if money isnt a variable anymore a TT ls1 would stomp a tt vg30.
ChirtyPoundsOfBoost 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost rwhp? no. bhp? yes. i believe the LS1 can make 500bhp with bolt-ons aka around 440 -50rwhp but it'd cost more than 3k. and if the owner knows what he's doing with his own 300zx, it wouldn't be a hassle to him to work on it. and if money isn't a varaible anymore, a TT LS1 would not stomp a 300zxtt. and i'm talking street legal cars here. not some all out drag car bullshit.
joe645733 1 year ago
@joe645733 A TT LS1 would definetly outpower a vg30. It takes what like 16psi to make 400 horse on a vg? 16psi on an LS1 is almost a 9 second car...
ChirtyPoundsOfBoost 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost you're not understanding turbos very well. the number of pressure from the turbos doesn't exactly mean much. if you see a car with a turbo motor in it, you'll see many turbos in the 20-40psi range for big power. you wont see an n/a car with a turbo kit added with those numbers. for instance, a 350z that has been tt'd has had number in the 600rwhp @ 18lbs of boost. or if u go to evo's, they'll usually be running in the high 20's for that kind've power. depends on the turbo
joe645733 1 year ago
@joe645733 No, im not understanding your english very well, not to be rude but could please explain what that comment even meant? "you wont see an n/a car with a turbo kit added with those numbers" - You. Huh? Charlie Givilancz owns a T/A with an LS1 TT setup and at 16psi he makes 854RWHP. 18psi 923RWHP.
ChirtyPoundsOfBoost 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost what i meant was, you won't see an n/a motor that has been TT'd have high pressure from the turbos. an n/a motor that has been TT'd works differently than a turbo motor. for example, i've never seen a turbo'd LS1 with 40lbs of boost like supra or evo would have. i'm just saying the number of psi from the turbos doesn't really mean much depending on what motor it is.
joe645733 1 year ago
@joe645733 You dont need high boost numbers on a v8 because it already makes more then enough power at low boost. 40psi on a V8 would twist the frame of the car in half. The differnce is that turbo motors have lower compression and usually a stiffer valvetrain to take the pressurized air thats being blown into the cylinder, they dont "work" differently. A supra NEEDS 40psi to make big power, a v8 doesnt. Im not admitting something that isnt true.
ChirtyPoundsOfBoost 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost LS1 motors can't run high boost due to the high compression. if you went with more boost than you normally see, you'd NEED to use the correct kind of gas or else it'd detonate. it's not just because they don't need a higher number of boost. trust me, if it was possible to do so on the LS1, everyone would do it for the high number of power. the LS1 cannot handle high boost, that's all
joe645733 1 year ago
@joe645733 Yeah you have to get low compression pistons if you wanna go FI on an LS1 because its N/A from the factory. Any motor can handle high boost if built properly so your wrong there. The vg30tt has detonation at 15psi on 91 octance which requires a meth injection kit, LS1 doesnt. I exhaggerated the 40 psi about the supra. Exactly, your just "sayin" its completely irrelevent to the arguement.
ChirtyPoundsOfBoost 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost completley irrevelent when you've changed the topic of this arguement (or whatever this is) about 3 times. and again you're wrong about detonation with the vg motor @ 15psi. where are you getting this retarded information from? a single chip from any aftermarket manufacturer PUTS you at atleast 15psi. why would they do that if they knew it'd detonate? and you show me the pistons for an LS1 that can handle such psi from a turbo. or if u want, just get back on topic?
joe645733 1 year ago
@joe645733 Can you not fucking read? I said you would have to put low compression pistons in an LS1 for high boost. There's a huge topic about detonation on the vg30 motor on z32 tuning forums, check it out for yourself. I dont mind argueing with you because Id like to learn some things for myself but god damn you need to be more clear.
ChirtyPoundsOfBoost 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost i understand low compression pistons to maybe get 14-15 psi. but i was just making a statement saying i've never seen a camaro with 25-30psi. that is because it's not possible. and send me a link to where u saw people, (who know what they're talking about) say the 300zxtt detonates at 14psi or w.e.
joe645733 1 year ago

@joe645733 Stock VQ30TT is 300hp/283trp and a stock LS1 has 335hp/350trq and has an aluminum block so its much lighter. A stock ls1 would blow by a stock vq30. And if you twin turbo'd an LS1 you would be looking at 600ish horsepower. You clearly have no fucking idea what your talking about.
ChirtyPoundsOfBoost 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost ok and if you put the money towards the 300zx, you'd also make that much power too. but it'd just be a lot cheaper.
listen, i never said i've never seen a 600hp camaro. alls i said was a simple adjustment to the turbos, (which are stock on the 300zxtt) would make able to beat an LS1. it's a fact and that's all i was trying to prove. jebus.
joe645733 1 year ago
@joe645733 You cant just crank up the boost on the turbos and expect some results. More boost needs more fuel and more pressure creates more heat which needs more cooling. Im sure the iron block and solid internals of the VQ can handle it but it would bigger injectors and upgraded intercooler, a tune etc... In the end the LS1 can make a lot more power then the VQ for a similar cost. You will never beat a v8 when it comes to power effciency.
ChirtyPoundsOfBoost 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost that's incorrect. my z is making 391rwhp on stock injectors and intercoolers just fine. and i'm at 16lbs of boost.
joe645733 1 year ago
@joe645733 Incorrect? You really think you can stay with stock fuel and cooling forever? Let me know when something blows. And only 391rwhp on 16lbs? An ls1 makes more then that with just bolt-ons and a cam.
ChirtyPoundsOfBoost 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost i understand that and believe that. but my car also has simple bolt-ons. the modifications to make the power i have is just a full exhaust and a chip. i'm not saying my car will run forever with what it has now. as a matter of fact, no car can run forever without maintanence. but i know i'll be fine with what i'm running now. i'm just stating it costs less money to make power with a turbo motor than an n/a.
joe645733 1 year ago
@joe645733 See I really find that hard to beilive because if you really want to go in terms of cost, you can get a 454 from the junkyard for dirt cheap, drop some money into it and you have yourself 500 RELIABLE crank horsepower for less then the cost of a stock 300zx.
ChirtyPoundsOfBoost 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost ok you're saying a 454 motor costs less than a stock 300zx. i'm sure everyone knows that. but we're not talking about different motors here. for an ls1 to make 500bhp with bolt ons costs at least 3k or over. it's cheaper for the 300zx to achieve 500hp. and don't forget a tune for the ls1 too.
joe645733 1 year ago
@joe645733 500hp would require 18-20psi on a 300zx. The stock 330cc injectors max out at 14psi so you need new injectors. After 15psi on that motor with 91 octane you start to get detonation so you would need a meth injectoion kit as well. The stock pistons and rods on the VG30 couldent hold 500hp for long so you would need to replace those as well. And the stock turbos max out at 19psi so your pushing your turbos to the limit. Lookin at 6k+ for a reliable 500 out of a 300zxtt

@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost see, what you need to do is first learnt he facts about the car. the z comes with 370cc injectors, not 330cc. the turbos do not max out @ 19lbs with propper supporting mods. the stock turbo record on a 300zx is 499rwhp @ 24psi. the internals of the motor are forged and i've seen plenty at over 600rwhp. do they drive it for years? i dont know, i dont know them personally. but it has happened plenty of times.
joe645733 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost i've seen most packages for close to 450rwhp on the ls1 go for well over 3k (this is from the ls1 forums). so many people are asking for a cheap 500hp on the forums and most responds they get is that it isnt really cheap.
joe645733 1 year ago
@joe645733 Yeah but its not nearly as expensive as 500 reliable horse from a vg30. Every Ive said is directly from z32power.com So you can argue with the tuners there about that. 24psi Record? As in it happened once? lol. Im talking RELIABLE HORSEPOWER here, not crank the boost up and have fun for 2 weeks until it blows. Simple put, V8's are just a more superior motor for performance, end of story...
ChirtyPoundsOfBoost 1 year ago
@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost ok you're talking about reliability but you have no evidence to show that a 300zxtt can't handle 450rwhp. even show me 500rwhp. shit i'm running stock turbos @ a little over 400rwhp and i've had it for nearly two years. i'm just stating a fact, that it's cheaper to achieve 450rwhp with a 300zxtt than an ls1. and the 300zx would be tuned as well WITH a lower cost. so yes, it would be reliable. even a simple chip gives you nearly 100rwhp. and it costs what, 400 bucks?

Its a 300zx what more is there to say. I'm considering doing the LS1 swap in my 96 300zx but have too many projects so it'll have to wait but concerning power/weight ratio it'll definently be a badass car when its done. Until then i'm stayin VG30. even n/a its a badass motor. a few mods. 242hp

@ChaoticXCarnage Every Ls1 swap that I have seen makes less whp then my conversion made with a chip and stock short block. I am all for different and to each his own but why spend 7k on a motor swap to get 400whp my car made 384 tq 374 whp at 12psi max was 21psi and still got 22mpg (8.5:1 cr). Maybe a LS1 swap with a procharger or STS system but not just an NA LS

@EatPez I do not see where my statement is no false I provided the dyno NOT crank WHP for my swap with exhaust. I am talking WHP numbers not car math and crank numbers every swap I have seen makes less than 400WHP and for the cost associated with it I do not see it. PPl keep throwing weight differences like they are prof AUTOX racers or time attack DD that 80lb difference is a non factor. Like I sd unless U add F/I to the LS I dont get it. I am in the planning of a domestic swap myself no HATE
DVcustomZ 1 year ago
@DVcustomZ Every LS swap you've seen makes less than 400whp? is that what you're saying? and you don't think that's false? All you have to do to get 400whp is a cam and headers. The only way to get 400whp LS1 is with FI? No, the only way to get a 700whp LS1 is with FI. Again, please get some experience in engine swapping, namely LS1 engine swapping, before you make blanket statements about it. Also, most of the people who engine swap, don't do it for cost effective reasons.
EatPez 1 year ago
@EatPez First off U cannot say my statement is false. I did not say every LS1 is less than 400whp I sd every LS1 swap I hve seen is less than 400whp. like the one in this vid is less than 400whp. Just like you r original statement comparing stock numbers. A boost controller more than surpasses the LS1 for $200. Your statement "LS1TT=600hp" How many LS Z32 swaps hve you sn that R over 400whp. My statement stands my VG30dett swap made 100more whp not HP than the LS1 only mod BOOST Controller

if it was a N/A 300zx I would do it too(or make it twin turbo) But in their day they were known as the Vette killer. One of the fastest cars of the time. It still has the look of the Z though and its not riced out thank God.

The Z can do what skeptics says it can't. I don't care what engine it has. As long as it looks like a Z. I prefer the VG because it still holds a world record. But I wouldn't mind having a light weight Chevy V8 powered Z32, just for fun.

Imports are still imports regardless of how it came to the US. I've meet 2 different S15 owners that live close to me, and they didn't have to crash a second car. I'm selling a REGISTERED REAL RHD 1994 FD RX7 Enfini for $6700 without the engine. I was selling it for $16,000 but the engine was sold

To mentor2506. Dude,,, you're telling me something I already know. My people at FSR Motorsports imports Supras all the time from Japan for the D1 Grand Prix. It's not as bad as people think, despite the current and new laws. The newer GTR is still a Skyline.

didn't impress me.. should have done a lot better than that.. a BPU car would look pretty much the same.

Plus, import sports cars like the 300ZX, Supra, Skylines, FD RX7, Siliva S13, S14, S15, etc, are great daily drivers, drag racing, time attack, road racing, and track cars. They look sooo damn good when fixed correctlly and that's why people love imports. My 90 Z32 and 95 Supra are very dependable, sexy as hell, and perform like a dream.
juno4000 1 year ago
@juno4000 S15 and Skyline aren't considered import in the states because they can not be brought here anymore. The laws changed and import cars from japan are a bitch to get in the states. Even Canadian versions are a bitch to get registered. You have to buy 2 of the cars so the DOT can crash test one to get safety data.
mentor2506 1 year ago
There's no respect when it comes to any modified front wheel drive economy car, import or domestic. Supras, 300ZX, FD RX7, Skylines are performance import sports cars. Civics, inFAGras, de sols, colbalts, neons are piece of shit economy transportation, NOT sports cars. There's a very BIG difference

Why is it if somebody like imports they're a ricer, but if somebody like American muscle they're correct and cool? Seems like all the muscle heads want to do is show off their $2,000 hooker headers while we show off our rb25det swaps for the same comparable cost.
It's not the car that's the ricer, it's the morons who strap on that damn fart/rice/shit cannon
mentor2506 1 year ago 3
@mentor2506 Hooker headers aren't anywhere near that cost. Infact, our parts are CHEAPER than yours are. I just bought a set of longtube headers for $160 from JEGS... NEW. The only reason why Hookers are so expensive ($500-750 generally, $1,000 if you must to have the ultimate drag header) is because they're ceramic coated and ready to go right out of the box with a huge brand name. Oh and another thing..
DeltaElite121 1 year ago
@DeltaElite121 Hooker headers are around $700 through AutoZone for my corvette; I work there. Import parts - even retail - are cheaper than domestic. Stage 2 cam, retainers, and springs are only 800 - that's one domestic cam. I do not wish to squabble over cost, it's not about that. It's about the love for the car. If i love brown hair, is that wrong? So if i love a import, am i gay? Am i cool if i agree with you? All i can say is, 4 rotor/ 26b:2246cc 1,200 hp
mentor2506 1 year ago
@mentor2506 Imports are generally ricers because that's what is appealing to the masses. You can get a import dirt cheap compared to a half-decent muscle car because an 'import' was NEVER a performance platform. Instead of saving their pennies and buying a performance import (import muscle, ideally) of which demands equal respect, they'de rather blow it all on some POS and throw a K&N filter on it with some Ebay turbo kit and claim they make 500 horses. There's no respect in that.

@DeltaElite121 I get where you're going, but i don't follow. Ricer = bad; so why is that desired by anybody. I consider ricer to be on the level of nigger, kike, spic, etc.
What are examples of "import muscle"?
What import is "dirt cheap compared to a half-decent muscle car" in monetary terms? (use your currency)
What are examples of "POS" [import's]?
So is respect only earned through paying 3rd-party-retail pricing instead of getting the same part in an auction?
(I don't mean to anger)

Oh yeah,,,,, you can also get " HYPER REV FAIRLADY Z Volume .25 ". Look at pages 34, 90, and 91. You will see ECUs for high horse power tuning. Proof on paper. It even shows the JUN 91 300ZX world landspeed record car on pages 32, 33, 138, 139, 140, 141. This VG did over 267mph (424.740km/h)

@Acomrazor cock sucker,, that's a funny way to make yourself look stupid as a bar of soap. Ever heard of " JWT "? or what about " Ricoh Racing"? Or even " Pentroof "? There's also "JUN, MINES, BEE-R, and other racing companies that make ECU and ECU upgrades that will get a VG over 400hp
juno4000 1 year ago
The stock VG30DETT can make over 400hp with just simple ECU tuning only. Plus you make just under 700hp on stock internals, without opening the engine. Many have done this, but a LS1 is still a good swap. Some people like the sound of a turbo and some like the rumble of a V8. I love the newer Corvettes just as much as my 90 Z32. This Z is great
juno4000 1 year ago
@juno4000 "The stock VG30DETT can make over 400hp with just simple ECU tuning only." Survey says..... BULLSHIT! I dpn't care what anyone says you are never going to get a 100 horsepower boost from a little ECU tuning. Car manufacturers don't build an extra unused 100 horsepower into their engines. At the end of the day Car Manufactures are nothing more than bean counters cutting every last dollar they can in order to save money and an extra unused 100 horsepower is an expense they can cut.
AcomsRazor1776 1 year ago
I'm a Nissan - Supra guy, but I like the LS1 set up. I would never do it, but it's still fucken sweet. You all know the VG30DETT still has a world landspeed record @ over 267mph ( 424.074km/h ). One of the reasons for the iron block is to handle higher boost. Chevy's newer V8s in the Corvette gets better gas milege than every V8 in it's class. Sorry ford

@fpvshitsonhsv
Umm actually the chassis on these cars are very stiff.....(way stiffer than any pony car from that generation)....and the rear can actually handle the power, too. Why don't you research before making dumb comments....why do you think people are swapping V8's in these in the first place? The bodies are very strong, the cars are inexpensive, and the american motors have tons of aftermarket.

@twoeightythreez Pony car? haha in not talking about HP im talking about torque them so called "stiff chassis" doesnt do shit when a good built v8's torque twists the thing like a banana. Do yo think us blokes with the big block v8's flogen down the strip keep the chassis stock? even tho its built for a v8 many mods still take place the ones your using are built for 4cyls and are built for 4 cyls.
fpvshitsonhsv 1 year ago
@fpvshitsonhsv Twist it like a banana? Lol I'd like to see that with a stock LS motor dude....I love how when you swap a V8 into a weak ass fox mustang or a vega that you have to reinforce the living crap out of and change the rear right away it's cool but when someone does it to a car like this Z that has a chassis that can handle the torque and has a unbreakable rearend it's "pathetic" because it started out as a jap.......narrow minded people suck. If you don't like it why did you watch it?
twoeightythreez 1 year ago
@fpvshitsonhsv Oh yes, and to reciprocate on that...if these japscrap bodies are so weak how come there's people with 240sx's (which aren't as stiff as a Z32..and actually WERE built for 4cyl) running built LS motors running 10's and below, on a stock chassis...and they're not twisting like bananas.....oh and btw the stock rearends hold up, too. As far as reinforcing the body, yes of course you do....but why not start off with a strong, stiff platform like a Z if you like it?
