Matt Powers' LS7 Powered Formula D S14 on the dyno

[joeloosterwolde]

thats a scary first gear :0

[ebaGabe]

there is no need for power, if skills are available

[MuhammadDerkaDerka]

@artakisthebest stfu... your a troll ass liar

[R34Dori]

I'd rather have the original engine.

[dirkd90]

Just simply increders, Matt Powers living upto his name with Power to boot, all you haters are just jealous cos you dont own it or Drift in Formula D!!!!!

[unidenprizes]

The fact is, put it in a japanese frame. Will look 1,000,000 times better to boot!

[redrooster280zxt]

holy fuck !!!!!!!!!

[UunonMopo]

s2000 engine is better and better MPG tooo

[blackmanpancakes]

@UunonMopo for some odd reason i seriously doubt this dude cares about mpg hahah

[UunonMopo]

@blackmanpancakes but why he didnt bought veyron or something when money is no problem?

[SubarusRawesome]

a great way to ruin a perfectly nice s14 smh

[dontjepko]

The sound.. WOW

[suzuki400boi]

Holy Clutch.

[beegeezee505]

Holy Jeebus! What a beast!

[need2speed94]

LS7 FTW!!!

[MyBMW840ci]

What shop did the swap??

[vanillanigger]

holy shit

[tonyrollaxrs]

Nice..

[coderpunk]

maddness

[playstationRLZ]

MOAR VIDEOZ!!!

[MisterPeetBull]

@rlb69 don't lie. u drive a shitty old ass beat supra.

[Koukigreen]

@MisterPeetBull a supra is a fucking supra wtf do you drive fanboi

[thedude8267]

ls engines are lighter than those shit stock engines. gotta love how purists get all butthurt about it as if they were getting paid to keep Nissan's balls moist.

[petehubs]

to put it simply, tits.

[JOEGGGJOE]

wowzers

[Lazyboii159]

Best of both worlds

[driftnut56]

All the people that disliked have never driven a car with more than 200 bhp...

[stingsvid]

TIE THAT BEAST DOWN!

[jarjarlol]

tighten those dyno straps bro

[spongebob773]

Best of both worlds. One Import I would drive.

[Brendon00000]

DevonaterMetalMaster, I meant built, for example its cheaper to make 400whp from a ls1 than from a KA or SR, all the LS Needs for that is a nice camshaft while the sr would need all the internals, intercooler, turbo, hardware and everythig else, just stick to the ls1 and it will be cheapest

[1KUSTOMIZER]

That sounds fooking pissed!

[tmu4life]

What Rims does he have?

[KoopaZ32]

@tmu4life gram lights

[tmu4life]

@KoopaZ32 thanks man :)

[sr20master]

sell out!!!

[Brendon00000]

did you know ls1's and ls3's are actually lighter than the 240's stock KA24, probably just as good on gas, 3x more powerful, looks better and souds better, probably even cheaper to build also

[grillbillieusa]

@Brendon00000 the stock KA weighs 370 lbs and the ls1 weighs just under 450 lbs.

[Texarmageddon]

@grillbillieusa out of crate weight for the ls1 should be 390.... i'll look into that

[DevonatorMetalMaster]

@Brendon00000 i highly doubt its cheaper.

[Brendon00000]

rompn4x I hae true jdm cars but heres the thing for most of us, GM makes amazing engines and shit chassis, and Nissan is the opposite, great bodies and boring engines, solution? LS powered nissans, this is the future of my 240

[LFSBrandons48]

@Plainmark Gram Lights. I think these are Gram Lights 52's? Not sure. Definitely Gram Lights though. Not TE37's.

[rompn4x]

I love all the import guys cringing at the sound of an American V8 in their beloved JDM's

[OCNRob]

Sweet jesus...

[souloption]

Ahhh..listen to it raping the air >:}

[pmp1706]

Fckn Beast!

[azzaboiii217]

how can u dislike 563whp?

[dannailthepussyeater]

sick s14, i wish the japanese companys could design v8 engines to be more hp/L efficient and fuel efficient so sister fucking rednecks couldnt talk shit on our JDM rides......... one day rednecks will be swapping JDM v8s in to their chargers, camaros, and what have you, i caant wait to see the day

[MisterPeetBull]

Look at all the people talking shit to eachother on here... fucking trolls.

[drift18Japan]

@MisterPeetBull cause shit talkers n they are the ricer kids my friend

[PlayerUnkown]

@MisterPeetBull Trolls? This is matt powers drift machine, only ones trolling are matt :)

[rlb69]

@slimkuttah420

yea i have owned 50 vehicles you clown lol. your just broke? i buy cars fix em up n sell em after a few months i have 4 vehicles right now, i make a killing on top of my alredy awesome paycheque~ go to school and get some training get a few peices of paper that say your name and some shit put em on the wall like a boss and get a real job son! :P if you didnt smoke pot and sit around all day youd have more to show for yourself?

[TheFreeridemanic]

@rlb69 haha WHAT HE SAID!

[Texarmageddon]

@rlb69 I doubt most of the knowledge you are throwing out right now. The LS series are not only light, but compact. In most cases, lighter than the IRON caste Inline 4 engines in this current car. In addition, if you're going to get facts about the mustang, at least, get the right ones.

Finally, i would like to say obviously ur education system sucks.

[slimkuttah420]

@rlb69 OR I could go online and make stupid comments about shit that I don't have no clue about. Owning 50 Shit cars and working at jiffy lube does not make up for you being a poser. You should take your own advice you might be able to afford a nice car one day.

[westpalmbeachplaya]

@rlb69 you show amazing typing, and grammar skills. you've obviously stayed away from drugs.

[hornygoldfish]

@rlb69 woah hey hey hey leave smoking pot out of this

[Ruiningyourlife]

@rlb69 Hahahaha yes everyone becomes a millionaire flipping cars and flipping burgers lol.

So pathetic.

[emailnjv]

@rlb69 you dont gotta bring weed into your insult......

[TH3S3MM3IST3R]

@rlb69 not everyone that smoke pot sits all day ;) so watch what your saying it can get you raped

[Erikherms]

@rlb69 What does cannabis use have to do with doing nothing with your life?? it is on the verge of being legal in half the state for medical uses. Get the fuck real......

[95eclipse450hp]

@rlb69 lol i like how u count every car u own man 50 they must of been shit

[rlb69]

@GMisurdaddy

lol ford does 500hp with a 3.5litre v6 sup with that? gm is GARBAGE! :P face it im a hd mechanic ive owned 50 vehicles every gm i owned was shit because of shitty delco parts, the only gm that id buy is the ZR1 vette. and even then. midaswell just buy a ford GT lol. gm is garbage they came up with some incredible #s on a dynosaur underhead single cam style motor but its time to advance lol!

[slimkuttah420]

@rlb69 you have owned 50 vehicles and your only 26. Quit posing posser, you have no idea what your talking about

[0YoungHazy0]

theres nothin i hate more than a ls in a 240

[GenjiSama91]

@0YoungHazy0 Silly purist, i'm a JDM kinda guy too, but there is no downside to this swap other than mpg

[0YoungHazy0]

@GenjiSama91 ur right but i would rather keep it liberal with where the engine comes from in the car

[DanYoism]

@boxinggrate its 2006 and up z06 corvette engine

[boxinggrate]

wat motor is a ls7 out of?

[FUCKAHBITCH666]

sick



[AdrenalineJunky17]

Jesus christ! Clutch surge much?

[Nissan570sx]

\now thats how they should have made all s14's

[JeepYJJunkie]

@Nissan570sx Then I wouldn't have bought mine.

[Nissan570sx]

@JeepYJJunkie Why? that would be an amazing production car with some fine tuning.

[Forza4You]

I love LS swaps

[rlb69]

@optimusboy1 and JDM fanboy? i have a BMW 325i, Ford f150 ford E150 witha cummins engine dropped in it. and finnaly a supra... im hardley a JDM fanboy lol im a hd mechanic i love deisel. and there is no way on hell you can try and tell anyone on here that a jiant clumsy v8 is light. even if the heads and block is aluminum the valves crank pistons rods valvesprings are all steel you retard if i was gunna stuff a v8 in a car for drifting id use the new ford 5.0 from the 2012 boss mustang 600+ hp

[GMisurdaddy]

@rlb69 wait...the LS7 has only 16 valves and one cam. Also an LS engine fully dressed weighs around 450lbs. for contrast a fully dressed SR20 weighs in at around 425lbs. So the "jiant" (I think you meant giant) V8 only weighs about 25lbs more than the 4cyl it replaced, and the new 5.0 weighs about 440lbs. So your comment (and spelling) is fail.

[Elmo187]

@rlb69 Uh the Ford 5.0 in the Boss 302 only has 440hp, not 600+hp.

[rlb69]

@optimusboy1 first off mr transformer. ive had ls1's jammed in a s10 setup for truck drifting i know all about ls1's and ls7's for 6000$ i got 6gs right now show me where u can get a 20,000$ ls7 for 6,000$ i bet you cant lil fag lol

[Misterrnico]

V8's are better for Formula D. D1 and other comps around the world usually have tighter turns so the power isn't really necessary. But plenty of people do the Evergreen and irvindale bank with slow cars.

[ItsMrWinters]

anyone know why matt chose a zenki over a kouki?

[rlb69]

@evo8 i had a 87 s10 with a ls1, ford 9" rearend locked up trust me i know how well they slide pal. toss a rb26deTT in that s14 and put them up side by side. the lighter motor will produce the same slide with alot less oversteer :p i never said i wouldnt drive it. just that this much power deserves to be harnessed in something capeable of puttn it to good use! ls7 howmuch is that? 30,000$? rb26dett 3500$? lol no comparison evo kid. lol tell this kid to toss a real motor in his car 2jzgtte

[optimusboy1]

@rlb69 dude he wanted the most powerful lightest engine out there and ls7s are pretty freakin light compared to jdm motors

[50stunt89]

I love RBs and all but take a look at the weight comparison of RB26 cast iron block vs ls7 aluminum block. Last I heard the ls weighs less.. coulda heard wrong tho

[ItsMrWinters]

@50stunt89 I heard that the LS is lighter than the JZ engines, RB engines, KA24, but is a little bit heavier than the SR20, but it has a lot more power than the SR so many drifters use it.

[TheRickRod]

Some ppl will never understand the sport of drifting!

[HeLLaFlushhh]

Damn thats nice.

[rlb69]

lol i would have stuck wit nizmo and spent 20gs on a rb26dett and Stayed under 2800lbs total weight these cars are Ballanced. thats why this guy needs to counter steer his drifts soooo hard. look at the jap 180'sx with a rb26dett in it. best drift car for a reason. light in the ass not to heavy on the front wheels and 500hp thats all you need. i personally drive a twin turbo supra that would make give that ls7 a good race. heck id throw a 1jzgtte in that s14 anyday

[evo8s13]

@rlb69 V8's are better for drifting. There is no denying it. A ls7 and pretty much any LS motor for a professional drifter is the best option.

[Tsimfuckiss]

Remove that beautiful engine from that Japanese trash at once

[TORiiNDAHOUSE]

Wow. Shoulda just got a mustang or something American. Totally defeats the point of getting an import.

[KiaForteSxR]

LOL the guy in the car covers his eyes when he guns it, hahaha

[djt1967ss]

torque. it's nice. 

[stuffnthat12]

Right noise, wrong car

[wesbowen27]

He's probably talking about the trailblazer ss!

[310jessefilm]

4+4=8

[Yongbukx]

Yeah dude its an LS7 "swap" , Your dad should have a Silverado?

[darkangelmnk]

@Yongbukx yeah it is, but its an 89 extended cab, but it has a carburator, thats where im confuse,

[stlchucko]

@darkangelmnk It's not an LS7 then

[darkangelmnk]

@stlchucko you think, we took it down to the dealer couple of months ago, they told us its the 454 , ls7, but google should give me a good response,

[stlchucko]

@darkangelmnk Not all 454s are LS7's. LS7 is a particular engine code that originally designated a 454 that was a warmed over LS6 (another 454, Rectangle port heads, solid lifter cam, high compression). In stock form, these engines were rated at 450-500HP (supposedly underrated as well); a far cry from the 230-250 HP a late 80's truck 454 produced (small oval port heads, low compression, hydraulic cam). Unless the motor has been swapped, it's safe to say that it's not a LS7.

[darkangelmnk]

@stlchucko oh thanks for that lesson, and yea it was swap, he even change from 5 lugs to a 8 lugs

[dan57ltr]

a ls7 is 427 c.i not 454 c.i.

[stlchucko]

@dan57ltr Read the whole conversation. I'm not referring to the current LS7 small block (Which is 427 CID), but the original LS7 (which was originally intended as a production engine, but only made it as far as a GM crate motor) which is a 454 big block.

[Boydd916]

@darkangelmnk so, wait a minute... You think cuz your dad has a silverado ss454 that it has an ls7? LOL

[darkangelmnk]

PLEASE EXCUSE MY IGNORANCE, BUT ISNT THE LS7 AN AMERICAN ENGINE, IM ASKING THIS BECAUSE MY DADS TRUCK HAS THAT MOTOR ON IT,

[HeyMan096]

@darkangelmnk Yeah it is.

[Mr2010Luistorres]

LS7's are beast.

[albodude93]

is that ka24de?

[nis915]

@albodude93 LOL! Nope a LS7.

[albodude93]

@nis915 i thought it was a rb26

[kingjefff]

Gram Light 57d 18x9.5+12

[elcucuy69666]

i want those rims. what kind are they?

[terryn194]

O___O thing sounds like a T rex

[deadguy03]

i had a sudden urge to masturbate haha

[RobertMoua]

@era562 i dont know if your against it or for it. the whole comment was confusing. love the American engines. if they ever touched a small car its bound to do some work.

[Elmo187]

@era562 Uh the Nissan 370Z driven by Chris Forsberg is powered by the Nissan Titan's 5.6L VK56DE V8. Tanner Foust's tC is powered by a NASCAR-spec, TRD built 358c.i. V8.

[toiletmonsta55]

[xhappyxscreamingx]

Man that beast doesn't even sound like a car anymore

[xSoCalxRiderx125]

@b18crx4

How can you trash talk on Ka's when your name might as well say "i drive a peice of shit". dont talk about what you dont know.

[b18crx4]

@42ferrari34 KA's suuuuuuuck

[toiletmonsta55]

@b18crx4 haha a built KA would smoke any civic, fuckin faggit keep driving your little high school fuckin rice mobile

[nickisslamin]

[BertJundt]

Good Lord.... I think my dick got Happy.

[blabla3o]

fucking evil

[MrSkyline350gt]

LS7=505 hp NA 7.0L (C6 Z06)

LS9=638 hp Supercharged 6.2L (ZR1)

Both of the above engines are hand built

LSA=556 hp supercharged 6.2L (ctsv, ZL1)

LS3=430 hp NA 6.2L (C6, SS maro)

[vinnie01]

can some one explain what the different LS engines are?  other than 'v8s'

[OMGItsWeasel]

@vinnie01 bore, stroke and compression ratio differences among a few other slight variations. use wikipedia if you want to find the specifics.

[Elmo187]

@OMGItsWeasel Uh there's a bit more than bore, stroke, and compression ratio. LS engines are all of the same basic design, but none of them actually share anything. The only LS engines that really shared anything was the LS1 and LS6, in which they only shared the block. Everything else was different.

[1989k1500]

@vinnie01 theres a ton of different LS engines. All the truck 4.8/5.3/6.0 engines are LS engines even though they are named LM7, L59, L33, LQ4, LQ9, etc etc. Then theres all the car engines, LS1, LS6, LS2, LS7, LS3, L99, etc. Some are aluminum block, some are iron block, almost all have aluminum heads except for the first 2 years of LQ4s, they had iron heads. Most have cathedral port heads, some have rectangle port heads like the LS3, L99, L92. LS7s have their own head.

[blabla3o]

@1989k1500 what about the lsX?thats one i cant figgure out

[1989k1500]

@blabla3o Sometimes people refer to LSx as any LS engine. But a real LSX is a block GM sells, it can be had in standard or tall deck. So if someone has a 438 LSX its a GM LSX block to start.

[Elmo187]

@vinnie01

[JoelSixSixSix]

[frederickfan]

[mrTwinsTurbo]

Matt, sounds killer. and great numbers too. you must be fired up.

[spogulis86]

that is just brutal

[importornothing]

im disapoointed matt :(

[240sexy4]

rest in peace KA you will NOT be missed. :)

[dandantheminiman]

this has clearly made a lot of people argue over 4pot turbo or v8s and i have to say til this point i would of said 4pot turbo as im a fan of that kinda set up. however after seeing this little glimpse of whats to come i think matt will be spend a shed load of time at ridiculous angles and having great fun doing it.
