Nissankat's ls1 s14 build thread

[nissankat]

I wanted to post a recap of the progress of my car over the last year. This is all copy and paste from my local forum where the build was originally posted.

A link to my thread on my local forum, lots more pics and ka stuff 240SX.net • View topic - Nissankat's Progress Thread Ls1 s14!!! (http://nissan.240sx.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=141&start=0)

Ill start with some pics of the previous setup and some action shots. The cars primary use is autox and lapping days.

Old motor setup. Made 345 wheel with stock bottom end

My street wheels

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/DSC_0106.jpg

So I cracked a ring land for the second time on the ka and right about that time a buddy of mine called me saying he found this beauty for a hell of a price so I snagged it.

It had 24k on the clock and was owned by a female. A few weeks after I got it I had the motor out looking like this

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/001-14.jpg

It was very clean on the inside

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/004-9.jpg

I soon had the Gto parted out and ended up getting the ls1, t56 and all the good for the swap for about 800.

Daft mounts and header came shortly there after.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/009-8.jpg

Here is the motor after I cleaned it up and replaced what was nessisary
The motor got a Texas Speed Torquer V2 cam, Comp Cams springs, Ported and shimed oil pump and arp rod bolts.

Then I worked on the fuel lines. Here you can see the routing and if you look close you will see my fuel filter behind them motor and the patch panel I made for the holes left by the ac line removal.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/007-10.jpg

Next up was the power steering. I wanted to run a power steering cooler but the budget is getting a little low so I came up with something else. I decided to use the cooling loop from the GTO. It was really easy to mount and fit pretty much perfect. I know it is not the best cooler but I think it will be better then not having one at all. Here are some pics. Notice how well the hard lines fit. You can also see the high pressure line I made and wrapped in flame guard since it will be close to the header.

I finally got the accusump all plumbed and working. Its sitting in the garage with 60psi in it right now. Here are some pics.

You cant even see it from the front and I dont think it will block any air flow.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/008-7.jpg

At the dyno I hit my goal of 400 on the first pull so I was very happy. I have to say pcmforless.com does some great mail order tunes. We only had to make some very minor changes on the dyno. We fattened up the fuel a little and added 2 degrees of timing and ended up with 405 on a very safe tune. Just to recap this is with a tsp torquer v2 cam, 4 inch intake, Daft headers, 85mm throttle body and a 15lb chromoly flywheel.

[sil80 monster]

damn thats nice!!! great job man!!!

[Grantspec]

It's been awesome seeing this thing come together over the past year and lending a hand when in town. Your build has been the inspiration for me building my car since the beginning. Super clean and 100% trackable. Looks great as usual. Keep up the good work and keep up posted with your progress (which has been a lot over the past year).

[sincity_sil80]

damn bro.. you keep your car clean.. good job

[95KA-Turbo]

Damn it this really makes me wish I could spend more on my swap!

[blueshark123]

Damn my car will look almost like a twin just diff. color

[ballinnmiami240sx]

Very nice indeed....

[blu808]

Sweet build. What are your thoughts of the kat vs the Ls1?

[Godchsr]

wowie.... nice

[brndck]

oh geez i think your car needs a new nickname.
i recommend "the bonermaker".
its freakin gorgeous and suuuuuuper clean!

[jrhgolf23]

just curious, but how much did you end up picking up that gto for?

[nathanong87]

this car is awesome!!!

[ROIDMONKEY]

mind telling us how much did u pay for that GTO?

[allntrlundrgrnd]

sounds and looks awesome.

hows it compare to the ka? decimates?

[s13 @ fullboost]

very clean

[SuperiorS14]

great build!!!

[nissankat]

First of all, thanks for all the positive feedback. I'm glad you guys appreciate all the effort that I put into the build of this thing.

If you guys are interested I think I may continue updating this thread as I make progress with the car. I already have a few item that I did not add such as the details of my diff setup.


Sweet build. What are your thoughts of the kat vs the Ls1?

hows it compare to the ka? decimates?


I really loved my kat setup. It made good power and treated me very well but I was always worried about pushing it to hard and blowing it because it was a stock block. With the ls1 I no longer have that worry with its nearly stock status. The ls1 makes an extra 50hp which is nice but I do not see that as its main advantage. The power delivery of the ls1 is just awesome compared to the ka. The power comes on so smooth and controllable from where ever you happen to be in the rev range. On corner exits with the ka I would jam on the pedal and have to wait for the little bit of lag and then the power would hit and rip the tires loose. This is not the case now. I just roll on the pedal and shoot out of the corner. The power is everywhere with the ls making it so that I rarely have to shift. At Roebling I can do the entire track (except the straight) in 4th gear.

just curious, but how much did you end up picking up that gto for?

mind telling us how much did u pay for that GTO?

I got the gto for a whopping $2500. That is why I could not pass up on the deal. I got really lucky because you don't see to many going for that.

[95KA-Turbo]

That is nauseatingly cheap. I have spent that on my motor/trans set up and it isn't even put together yet :(.


Not that it matters for that price but is it a 5.7 or 6.0 GTO?

[RightWheelDrive]

Now that's a proper car!

[Smurf_240SX]

That is an awesome car! you mind if I pm you with questions?

[nissankat]

Yea it was a killer deal. I wish I could find another. It is a 5.7 but the gto is actually the highest hp ls1 that chevy had. It has an ls6 intake mani stock. I would have loved to have gotten the 6.0 (ls2) but this thing has worked out well and I didn't have to deal with the drive by wire of the ls2.

Now that's a proper car!

Thanks man

That is an awesome car! you mind if I pm you with questions?

Thanks and sure pm away.

[Gjohnson7]

I know I've probably told you this 10x on Silviavafourms, but I love the build. Looks awesome and keeps me motivated. Hope to have mine on the road, in the next couple of weeks. Just have to sort out my DBW issues.

[Marcus]

wowzers, your work is awesome

[EndLeSS8]

You did an excellent job man, looking forward to your posts on new events.

[lechu84]

wow!! awesome job man, car looks great!

[Tearlessj]

I'm not much of a drifter.
That explains the quality of work! Nice to see a properly built car!

Thanks man. I was just looking at your thread the other day. I like the one piece rad hose you found. Do you have the part number for that?

Hahaha

[Touge Noob S13]

I think I'll be the first to say that I liked the Ka more.

[Gjohnson7]

I think I'll be the first to say that I liked the Ka more.

Ok. Yeah, I think he's really missing that KA right now.:rolleyes:







I found the part numbers here in this thread on Silviav8forums silviav8forums.com :: Log in (http://www.silviav8forums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=680&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=radiator+hose+napa&start=15)


I think these are the numbers

The following I believe are NAPA part numbers:
GAT20801
GAT21710
Those are both hoses, not sure which but you will figure it out when you get them.
This is the reducer/sleeve that I used:
GAT26390

Both required a little trimming but none of the cut in the middle and use 90's and all that stuff, just some end trimming. Hope this helps you guys!

I didnt mean to offend the church of LS1 zealots like yourself:mepoke:. All the other aspects of the car are perfect.

[nissankat]

Thanks for the part numbers Gjohnson.

Touge, what aspect of the ka did you like better. The only thing I miss is the gas millage.

[Touge Noob S13]

I liked how clean and well built it looked. There are rarely any nice turbo Ka's since most are done on budgets.

[datboibrad]

Thanks for the part numbers Gjohnson.

off boost the ka-t was that big of a difference vs the ls1? find that a bit odd.

[StaticX27]

I liked how clean and well built it looked. There are rarely any nice turbo Ka's since most are done on budgets.

All depends on what you're going for, but he is right that your KA-T was one of the cleaner ones out there. It's saddening to see the good KA-T's go down, as it skews the ratio of bad KA-T's :P.

As far as performance, the LS1 is a great motor if that's the style of driving you have. Some guys prefer turbo setups and obviously your previous setup would appeal to some more than others, that's all. Personally, I like turbos, so I probably would have spent the money on building the KA and making 400whp off of that.

Although a project I've been wanting to do was an LSX FC Vert that was smog legal. Unfortunately that's a long way away project. :P

[Inland Drift]

Legit swap!!! Awesome job man...!!!

[Gjohnson7]

I didnt mean to offend the church of LS1 zealots like yourself.

That's ok son, go in peace and be blessed. :wavey:

[tricky_ab]

this car is awesome!!!

All types of freakin' awesome!

[jr_ss]

Very clean car... Props!

[acheron]

sweet build and car, good luck with it.

[h22speed]

hey damon, car looks very very nice! i thought i saw you up at unf a month or 2 back over there in lot 18 but i wasnt sure. great job on the build and im glad to see it came together for you.

[nissankat]

Thanks for all the possitive words.

as for the ka vs ls1 debate, I would never go back. If I build another 240 it will be kat for sure. For the lapping days that I like to do the ls1 just cant be beaten. It runs cooler then the kat, has power everywhere and is reliable as can be.

hey damon, car looks very very nice! i thought i saw you up at unf a month or 2 back over there in lot 18 but i wasnt sure. great job on the build and im glad to see it came together for you.

Thanks man. Well I doubt it was me that you saw. I usually park in the garage but I only drove the 240 to class once this semester and that was during finals week.

Thanks a lot for the info. I will probably try to pick up the top hose next time out.

[idriveattz32]

very impressive, I've been out of the 240 game for a while and didnt ever get that deep into, but what you've done is exceptionally clean and purposeful, just my style. So keep up the good work!

[S14Serge]

Straight ball'n ass s14 mayne for real!!!! And I remember seeing those wheels for sale in the used section of 240sxmotoring.com guess you beat me to them or sold them already lol.

Any who really clean build bro ya dig!

[boostdd]

inspiration right here

your car is great, maybe I missed it but have u mentioned what kind of suspension work you've done ?

What this car look like when u first got it ?

[nissankat]

Thanks for the comments. The picked up the Works a few years ago from a vendor on this site.

I have not made any major changes but here is a small update on the work I have done to the car over break.

My passenger wheel bearing had been making a little more noise than it should. After reading this article Project Silvia - The Official Guide to Not Screwing Up Your Wheel Bearings Like I Did > MotoIQ > Magazine Articles (http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticles/tabid/59/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/893/Project-Silvia-The-Official-Guide-to-Not-Screwing-Up-Your-Wheel-Bearings-Like-I-Did.aspx) I decided to pull them apart to take a look.

This is what I found

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/DSCN0989.jpg

You can see the pitting in the race here

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/DSCN0998.jpg

and the discoloration here

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/DSCN0995.jpg

This bearing is well past it so a new hub and bearing has been ordered from Nissan to replace it. It appears that some moisture had gotten into the bearings or possibly the excess heat from track events had broken down the waxy nissan grease.

The drivers side looked much better

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/DSCN1001.jpg

so it got disassembled, cleaned and re greased using Neo Synthetic grease. This grease is far superior to the crap nissan uses and it is good to 800 degrees.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/DSCN1002.jpg

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/DSCN1003.jpg

When the new passenger side bearing comes in then it will get the same process. Re greasing these is a tedious job but one that I feel will benefit me in the long run given the track time that I plan to put the car through.

........

My new wheel bearing came in and repacked it with the Neo grease.

I also made some new end links for my front sway bar. I am of the understanding that these should result in significant gain by eliminating the rubber bushings. Because of the limited suspension movement of a stiff coil over setup the sway bar does not have much movement to work with. Without the rubber bushings the sway bar is able to immediately begin resisting roll. I guess we shall see if this holds true.

your car is great, maybe I missed it but have u mentioned what kind of suspension work you've done ?

What this car look like when u first got it ?

did you just split the 1 fuel feed line into 2 with a T or did u run a second line from the tank back?

great swap dude!

[nissankat]

1 side is the feed and the other is the return on my setup. Some high hp people do make a feed and return for each rail. They split the feed and then use the fuel pressure reg as a y for the returns. I don't think I am at that point yet though as I am still on the stock injectors.

[titopr06]

Awesome Work!!
would you mind sharing the specs on your KA-T set up?

[nissankat]

[Grantspec]

Are you excited for Roebling next weekend?

[Otto347]

Where you at in FL? Car looks great, we need to get a meet together for all the V8 240s.

[Ceepo]

Very very very beautiful car, very well done, this car is the epitomy of what a clean, done right swap should look like....

[S14Serge]

To each his own, both your set-ups are and were great! A lot of hard work seems to be paying off in your lap times!!!!

After seeing both of your setups im torn on which way to go myself:confused:

[speedfreak90]

great build man. very clean. what did u use for the for the front air dam and rear panel??? looked like street signs or something.. haha. anyway how did ur sway bar end links work out????

[sickstatus]

damn what a steal on the motor.

nice build.

nice setup. any pros for the kat?

[nissankat]

Where you at in FL? Car looks great, we need to get a meet together for all the V8 240s.

I live just outside of Jacksonville. A meet would be cool but I doubt I could make it all the way down to Tampa.

great build man. very clean. what did u use for the for the front air dam and rear panel??? looked like street signs or something.. haha. anyway how did ur sway bar end links work out????

Thanks man. The ducting and rear panel are made out of an Anheuser Busch sign that I acquired. haha I use pieces of that thing everywhere.

The endlinks seem to be working well. I don't know if any noticeable gain came from them but it cant hurt.

nice setup. any pros for the kat?

I am trying real hard to come up with something and all I have is gas mileage. The ls1 does weigh a bit more but I think that it is more then made up for.

[IMPORTIMAGE]

I just want to tell you, swaps like these bring tears to my eyes. Amazing.

[S14Serge]

Wow the LS1 must really be a beast of a swap, hope we get to see more videos of your car in action pretty soon:bow::bow:

Congrats bro!

[s14unimog]

Props on the build man, clean, simple, and effective! I like it! Glad to see you actually use it too!

[dreamin240sx]

[nissankat]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys.

I try to beat on it every chance I get. I could not imagine putting all this effort into and car and not using it for what it was built for.


In fact here are some pics from last weekend at Roebling Road.

[ghudson]

Very Nice. Are you actually racing up there. I just do hpde's at the moment but I am dying to do some actual racing. I am in the process of building a spec miata on the cheap so I can get out there and run wheel-to-wheel.

That looks great, going to be a nice setup. I hope you enjoy them.

[SuicidnS13]

Awesome build up bro.

[XEARLX]

awesome build bro.

so what did you do drive shaft and rear wise?

[95zenkisr20]

Looks really good man! great work!!!!!

[nissankat]

awesome build bro.

so what did you do drive shaft and rear wise?

Thanks

I had a one piece al drive shaft for my old ka setup. When I did the ls1 swap I simply bought a t56 yolk on ebay and stuck it on the al shaft. It is a little shorter then it should be (maybe 1/2in) but it works just fine.

[Sugoi_Style]

My big brother is a diehard Domestic & Euro enthusiast with a penchant for big displacement Detroit engines as well. Even he would love this. Grip racing, not drifting for him. OEM+ look ftw

Thats not bad at all, So does your rear holds the power the ls1's putting out?

[chriskilla2]

anyone know what happened to this car

[Om1kron]

Finally a godamn build thread with a start, end and some results. Not too detailed but just enough information to make me read the whole thing. Great progress, and congrats on a very clean car.

[chriskilla2]

yup agree its neat, had to bump it

[nissankat]

anyone know what happened to this car

I still have it. I just drive it and enjoy it now. I have not changed or repaired anything in the last year. It takes a beating every time I drive it and just keeps on going. There are still a number of things that I would like to do to the car but my focus has moved to my other project, a spec miata. I just got my Scca racing licensee in it a few weeks ago.

Thanks. There is a long ass thread on my local forum that is much more detailed. If your interested, have a look.

what's the offset on those FNO1RC's you have when you go to the track. Front and rear if you please sir.

[vipergtsr1000hp]

just out of curiosity, whats your MPG?

[CDD200]

On your rear did you put the s15 hlsd in the q45 rear or the q45 gears in the s15 rear,
i like my s15 rear but want less gearing, want the 3.54 gears with hlsd, but do not want to change my axles and hubs like i have seen some do, thanks

They are 17x9 +15 with 255/40s

To be honest, I don't know. I rarely drive it without beating on it. It is probably close to 20.

On your rear did you put the s15 hlsd in the q45 rear or the q45 gears in the s15 rear,

I actually just put the lsd in the q45 housing. The q45 ring gear actually works out well because the bolts are the correct size. 13mm I believe it is. It is easier to not have to mess with the pinion gear.

do not use those compression fittings! use high pressure hydrolic ones. those aluminum are used for carb setups, they will leak just FYI. use industrial grade
