Rebuild T56 from Usapowertrain

[Georgiy Stepanyan]

As you know, the main problem when you swap LS in RHD s-chassis is starter fit, there is now place for starter. So we solved this problem and replace it on the other side.

добро пожаловать! welcome to zilvia! I love Moscow went there 3 times last year. Amazing city. Is it hard to get GM parts?

[Imarvin240]

looking forward to see how this build goes, but it looks like a good start so far. Are you planning on only doing a motor swap or do you have some other changes planned for the vehicle?

[nissan240syan]

This is why I love this guy aside from his driving skills and some of the ridiculous videos that have come out by him. There's very few of us in the car came, especially competitive driving.

Hi Dimka!) Street drifting it's very dangerous, and when we drift all roads were closed, and if police catch up us, we have a big problems!))
About prices of the cars, yes in Russia all cars and tuning much more expensive then in USA!

[<^> ^_^ <^>]

Am i the only one thats reading his posts in a russian accent? lol anyways nice s15!

[240drift916]

in soviet russia car drifts you!!!

hahahahahahahahahaha I was thinking the same thing!

[TougeSR20Kid]

what the problems with that stuff?

I think you're alright cus its a link and not embeded, sometimes the mods will have an issue with posting vids of illegal stuff, for good reason cus none of us would like to see this site get shut down post-lawsuit cus some dumbass teenager killed himself street drifting after watching a video hosted by this website. In this country people will sue your pants off for just about anything. But on a lighter note I'm sure you are good cus its a link and not an embeded video, cus that way zilvia is technically not hosting and supporting that activity.

Either way still loving the vids and keep em coming lol, my fav by far is the Moscow drift, I like how you did the shot with the smoke rising from the tire tracks that was pretty dope.

I'd also like to add that I'm digging that dashboard, I like ur style haha... how did you guys do it?

[Pstl_pete]

Looks like your LS is working out very well in the S15 chassis. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Keep up the good work.

Replace distant ignition coil on the left side, to save more place for vacuum brake booster

http://cs302804.userapi.com/u11037402/-3/z_87f6e0a7.jpg

Many guys who drift on LS, like Grunewald or Yoshihara, said me that my old Koyo rad will not cope with temperature, and I need fat Griffin :) We decided to install second radiator on the left side instead of heater and as main stay old Koyo.

If i ever make it back to Moscow i'd like to come visit! I am not Russian but i study Russian language. I haven't been to St. Petersburg yet though. Are S15 Silvia common there? Or S13 or S14? I only saw one S13 when i was there.

nice build

[KansaiDrifter]

Hey that blue silicon hose that's plugged off with a bolt above the upper radiator hose is the steam vent for the heads, you need to run that in to the radiator or you will bow head gaskets left and right! You should run it into the radiator, you can run it into the radiator hose like a temp gauge block or have a fitting welded into the radiator. Could also run a swirl pot and run that into it. That hose lets the heads bleed air/steam out really nice when it's hooked up right.

YES! Great point. There are several options, I just welded a bung onto my radiator and ran the line there but whatever you do dont go ripping on the motor with the steam port plugged.

I already weld a tube on my radiator and connect them, but thanks for advice!
I have a strange problem, I run engine... few minutes and radiator are hot, and spals are working... but the oil cooler and oil filter still cold. How it could be??

http://cs406728.userapi.com/v406728324/1b9c/-KuUQPbkFhA.jpg

so it's done! first race, and some problems... I never before try to race on NA engine. But yesterday on the 4th gear in drift, I can't take maximum rpm... only 4500-4800. What can I do with this? Maybe setup stock ECU, or what? Enough torque, but not enough rpm... gas pedal on the floor..

[gretz]

cams? If you stay NA, Cams are the way to go for high RPM fun...

[Georgiy Stepanyan]

there are already hot cam, this is LS 376/480

[ixfxi]

this thread is proof why russians and americans, and car enthusiasts from all over the world can and do get along. damn politicians are the ones making us fight.

and now we quote rocky 4
"During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me, and in the way I feel about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than twenty million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change! "

this goes down as one of the best threads on zilvia. why? because vodka, because racecar
