LS swap

Post by **airmanhoward** » Thu Sep 01, 2016 3:35 pm

Today I just got my mind blown I just found out LS motors are swappable in the G35's my question is has anyone heard of the LS motors being swapped in the M35?

I have not. The only big motor swap into a Y50 that I've ever seen is Chris Foresberg's VK56 swapped. You can Google that one for more info.

If you can swap an LS into a Miata I suppose you can drop it into anything. Sounds nuts. Go for it.

Pushrod motors tend to respond to after-market performance products better, especially when staying NA.

I've thought about doing this as well...how would you integrate the engine management with all of the car's electronic systems?

I would assume you would use an aftermarket ECU, and most likely would also need to put a manual trans in too or at the very least an auto trans made for an LS and a TCU for that trans.

Most likely you'd do it the way Fummins diesel guys put Gen2 6BT's into Ford F pickups. New ECU's, but also retain the original ECU's and fool them into thinking they're still running the show. That way the cluster, ABS etc will still function.
