a friend of me has DONE a LS2 SWAP into a 95 S14......with T56 6spd trans and with LS1 ECU&harness.....ALL that on STOCK VLSD...

if you want to see pic's and vid's of him beating a 2006 Z06....go to:

go to FA.

then to S13-14-15 BASIC

after that search for a topic called '' An SX with an LS2 heart (a Big Wheels Project) ''

OR search for ABDUL as user name.......

HOPE this help somene

oh hey i know that Abdul guy! cool guy.

yeah the stock diff is all you need. i'm putting about 460rwhp/torque through it and a quaife diff. it's fine.

i have a driveshaft for the swap,i got 2 of them when i did my swap, but only need one haha. pm me if interested.

It won't have to be cut and it allows for shorty headers to work. That just leaves the clutch issue and tranny support. I'd just make custom lines for the clutch.

Does any one know if this is ture?Also which Skyline subframe?

Post by **cnichols** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 8:33 pm

I believe the Skyline crossmembers still need to be notched, so you might as well just use the stock one for two reasons...

1) I recommend the Hinson headers over the shorty Corvette headers because they're full stainless and long tube

2) You've already got the crossmember...it's an expensive swap already...no need to spend $$ where it not's necessary

Looks nice when done.. Dunno anyone around here that could do that swap

One other option that is quite a bit more cost effective would be using an LQx truck motor. These can be had in the $3500 range including harness and trans. The LQ9 is rated at 345hp, 10.0:1 compression. The downside is the iron block adds about 80lbs to the overall package, but with the money you save over an LSx, you can get some L92 truck heads and intake (off the new 6.2L motor) add a GMPP Hot cam and after a tune the package should make appx. 490hp. At the wheels. This is based on a similar swap into a 2004 GTO in which the owner blew up the LS1 and used the truck parts to replace. And it should still be emissions compliant in a referee'd swap for all you CA residents.

money you save over a lsx?

i paid 3500$ shipped for a LS1, T56, harness, ecu, etc.

the LQx swap is going to cost the same out of pocket as a LSx but you dont get the advantage of saving weight.

and i dont think the new truck intake will fit under a 240 hood. a fast manifold wont even fit IIRC.

wouldn't this mount raddle your car to pieces ?

Post by **Joe** » Sun Dec 09, 2007 6:59 pm

it rumbles the car for sure, if it bothers you just add a urethane mount. it wouldnt be hard. its just soild is a little easier, and for a track car its better.

Post by **migsk8** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 3:38 am

do you guys know if the kit that http://www.hinsonsupwecars.com has a urethane piece to stop all the raddling ? and does anybody actually have this kit and is it any good ?

Why don't you think a FAST manifold will fit? Should be almost identical to an LS1/LS6 manifold.

true, the LS1 isn't all that expensive, but you do pay more for the '01+ models that have several marked improvements over earlier models of the same engine.

the truck intake won't even come close unless you've got a huge cowl induction or something in your hood.

the ls1 doesn't rattle. that is, not on the stock cam, but anything with a big cam is going to rattle, no matter what engine mounts. i have solid mounts and the car is VERY smooth (with stock cam) at idle. i would say it's at least as smooth/rattle-free as my SR20 ever was with stock or Nismo mounts. the only difference is that if i good the throttle, the whole car rolls a few degrees because of the greatly increased rotational inertia of the engine. but who doesn't love a macho display like that?

WRROOONNGGG!

you have to notch ANY crossmember you use

and you will need to modify EVERY off the shelf header you buy

Kamin I thought you had a big post or write up on this. Something about you sold your RB and went LS1 route?

I sold my RB and old 240 and now Im back and want to do the LS1 swap i just picked up a 95se.

Sorry for the big pics. I'll resize them later.

JE Import Performance used Sikky parts to install my LS1.

The Sikky LS1 kit should be available soon (S14 could be now, just call them @ sikky.com) for S13, S14 and 350z.

Kit

The pan holds 7 qts! Has trap doors, better baffling and doesn't require modding the cross member. This is a bolt on kit!

Prices and packages to be published soon. Working on some "other" deals at the moment with the kit.

i dont think that intake is going to clear the hood...

Kamin wrote:i dont think that intake is going to clear the hood...

It cleared about 1/4" with my previous mounts. These new mounts drop the engine almost 1". I have plenty of clearance. Also my hood has about a 1.5" duct that drops right over the TB. If I was running the stock hood I would have massive clearance.

I just measured it and I have about 1" over the highest and front most part (Right in front of the radiator cap) of the intake pipe.
