good god...


i second that. :bowdown:

[DreamN]

wow.... I bet the torque this thing produces is monstrous! dyno sheet? will this car be running a full cage?

[blu808]

Yes. The car should make some great numbers. The turbo kit is still in the fab process as you can see. We are making the prototype for hinson supercars.

Car will feature a full cage, dimple died gussetting, seam welding, the usual stuff we do.

We have a dyna pack 5000 and will upload full dyno sheets in 2 weeks or so once the fab and tuning are done.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

That's freakin sweet Luke, those Sport Max don't do the car justice tho.
Is this the car you drove at Drift Battle?

[blu808]

Yes same car as drift battle. Actually those are rotas. lol.

Anyways yea it wasnt really setup for drifting at drift battle. It is being built from a street car (before) to a competition car.

[Addicted2Kouki]

OMG... as if an LS1 wasnt crazy enough for a light ass FD.

[KwKouki]

[Farzam]

Total overkill

[qt_240]

0.o ... w0w....

[LB.Motoring]

STUPID POWER to weight.

[DOOK]

OMG... as if an LS1 wasnt crazy enough for a light ass FD.

technically that is an FC... but the LSx motors are crazy for any lightweight car like these or S13s... I'm loving it man. Loving it.

[Antihero983]

good fucking god man.......you better have one damned good driver for that beast....

isn't 700hp a little overkill?

[blu808]

dont worry I can handle it.

[eddawgs13]

[downshift_sideways]

Very nice and scary car ;)

[blu808]

[Matej]

Of course.

downshift-sideways. Skeet skeet
Haha awesome, very awesome.

[KA-T_240]

damn. That should be fun.

My buddy has a Grand National that he swapped a LS1 into and it has a S465 on it. Havent gotten a ride in it yet(next year i will).

[status:one]

my god thats awesome.

[blu808]

Thanks for all the comments guys. I just need to finish fabbing the manifold so the turbo sits in a better location. Then fab up the crossover pipe with a braided flex pipe, finish fabbing the intercooler piping, wastegate, bov, 2 bar map sens, injectors, tune, and burn some tires.

Should i make the wastegate dump out of the fender? lol

[Irukandji]

wastegate dump right behind the wheel coming out the fender.

[blu808]

yea thats what i was thinking. Or maybe dump it out the front of the sideskirt?


Or i could dump it out of the hood with a smoke stack.

[ALTRNTV]

Can I have it?

[M4Rl0N]

thats nice..:wackit:
i thought thoese were 962's......L0L

[digitalightkenz]

goodness sakes

that is just so sick

[Daniel.]

damn luke you never quit.

good job.

[Okinawandrifter87]

Of course.

downshift-sideways. Skeet skeet


Haha FTMFW!! :keke:

[2bad240]

very nice, cant wait to see it complete.

[mayco_86]

wow thats gonna be a monster

[kyoru]

goodness that thing was rip :/

[Dutchmalmiss]

I can't even fathom how powerful that car would feel. Kinda like putting an SR in a power wheels car.

[azndoc]

Yeah looks badass.

Cool car.

Can't wait to see it with the bn kit.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Wastegate Dump Out The Hoood!!!!!!!!!!!:yum:
EDIT: SUBSCRIBED keep us updated!

[aznpoopy]

awesome!

you need to post this on rx7club. i'd love to see what happens. lol

[PoorMans180SX]

Wow. Must be fast.

props.

[murda-c]

wait, how is the manifold set up, if it's single turbo doesn't one side have really long exhaust tubes?

[Andrew Bohan]

the driver side is log style and has a tube going around the back of the motor and into the back of the passenger side log.

[murda-c]

nice, it's always weird to see a single turbo v motor without the turbo way out in front of the motor.

[EDacIouSX]

I'm not a huge fan of non rotary motors in a rotary car.... I'd never do it to any rotary car I'd own. On the other hand, your swap looks like a very clean job. 700 hp is pretty crazy too. good luck with the build

[Andrew Bohan]

i'm a fan of good motors in good chassis. unless it's some special edition or mint condition car, who cares?

[blu808]

Im a fan of getting rid of unreliable, torqueless, engines.
Thanks for the props.

rotary engines can be good, but can be expensive too. I have tossed the idea around of getting either an FC or an FD as my next big project for track only. If I did, I would look for a shell for cheap and do a hybrid LS swap with a T56. Bang for the buck, you can't beat those drivetrains.

[origin_s135]

what a beast luke, keep up the good work. i am now going to suscribe to this awesome thread. ++++

[chibo]

Someone is going to die. :rofl:

[dvdevo]

love the blue on that car.

[S13Boosts]

that shit is hawt!! haaaaaayyyy!:kiss:

[opponheimer]

Do you have all 8 exhaust ports feeding to the turbine housing or just those 4? (sorry can't see).. Thing's a beast!

[180sx Fan]

they already said that the otherside manifold comes around to the turbo side. so yes all 8 feed the turbo.

[Matej]

The lack of an fmic has always been my only gripe about most LSx swapped cars, glad you took care of that. :bigok:

[ThatGuy]

Lack of Intercooler = SLEEPER

Sleeper = Less attention from Johnny Law and Joey Ricer

With that being said.. LSx-T is still AWESOME :rawk:

[KwKouki]

Dood I ca offer you muh 1st born for this car............but can you look past that you will be getting him in the form of baby batter and housed in a test tube?

[DOOK]

I'd be happy with LS7, let alone LS7-T

[blu808]

Thanks for the comments guys.


Here are some more pics.

As you can see I still need to modify the manifold a bit to angle the turbo differently.

[s13Dr1ft]

I dare anyone to challenge your diffs after this build lol. Im impressed.

[Edgar]

I'm not going to lie, that car would scare me to drive

[Antihero983]

One day, I will ask you guys to put an LSX motor in my evo. mmmmmmm

you know someone already has put one in an evo right?

[Andrew Bohan]

oh no! that means he can't do it!

[s13silvia123]

damn this is a Beast

[eastcoastS14]

What do you guys think?

[Andrew Bohan]

win!

hey i figured out all the website stuff too

[MikeisNissan]

you are mad!

[drftwerks]

wtf are you gonna do w/o rear overs?

your gonna need alot more wheel & tire back there.

[hotlavaflow]

Personally I feel an RX-7 should always be rotary to matter what. If it's not what's the point? It's not really an RX-7.





***You have officially changed my mind. Damn!!!!!! That thing is sick. And you had the nerve to put it in an FC***
