[nsr20detpowered]

No love on Jakes build?!

[jlee29]

I guess LSX is boring now-a-days. I'm shooting for 8.9x's in the quarter with IRS and a 6-speed. Maybe after some track results and videos ill get more love.

[Bmxer300zx]

This is sick man a friend of mine just picked up a 6.0 to build this winter lookin forward to helping him swap it this spring.
I like your going turbo def different then your standard lsx/1 swap

[ForeignMuscle]

YES YES YESSS!!!!

I'm a LSx man at heart and grew up on small block Chevys way before I discovered my first 240sx. I bought a sr20 and have gotten pretty deep with a large Precision turbo and big boost, but I know it's only a matter of time before I go this route. (Hopefully turbo LS2)

I'm looking forward to some updates. This is common in other chassis, but just not so common with the 240sx crowd.

I take it your a weekend warrior at the drag strip?

[Jay Gadsby]

Love it!! I have been tossing around the idea of a 5.3L Turbo setup. But I am not a quarter mile guy (once in a while). Sounds like an NA setup would work for me (like your LQ4 setup). There is nothing like the sound of a V8 :) Great job man! I am looking forward to more updates on this build as she goes for sure!

[jlee29]

Thanks guys,

Im definately not a drag only guy, ive done my fair share of sliding and still do.
On the Turbo LSx s13 I have recently put in a Walbro 400lph pump, Q45 solid mounted diff with 30 spline axles and hubs, 1/2' feed and return fuel lines, modified the front "Power brace area" setup with box tubing. Yesterday I was building up the new motor with ARP bolts, cam, melling oil pump, heads, and valvetrain.

Got a built tranny also

This wasnt my fastest run but the best video I had.

[andrew600]

this is cool shit. im not a huge fan of throwing a turbo to it, but still cool none the less.
i used to have an ls1 s13 and now rb s13 with eventually make it back to LM4 with a modest goal of 300 to the wheels.

[jlee29]

My goal for my daily driven S14 Ls1 is about 400 to the wheels, its stock now with longtubes and Ls6 intake so its probably around 300-325rwhp now and its pretty fun.

[Jay Gadsby]

Have you taken the daily to the track? Wondering how 300ish rwhp does in these cars.

[Highway Riding]

You sir deserve props for sure... Thx for sharing!

[jlee29]

I havent take my S14 to the track yet but, a guy I know has a s14 ls1 that's bone stock even with stock manifolds, and he broke into the 11's. But he has a ton of passes on it, I would say low 12's consistently.

[jlee29]

I appreciate the complements guys, Half the battle is , actually getting out there in the garage and fabricating and buildin.

[Jay Gadsby]

I am looking forward to getting out there and getting to the fab stuff. I run a welding shop in the military, so I have access to some cool tools and a damn good welding specialist as well :) Thanks for the inspiration!

[ditchs14]

ill have to ask jake. he lives in the sticks with no internet and has forgot all about the internet. this car is also sitting in the deep dark shadows of his massive shop. thanks for bumping a old ass build tho

[TheRealSy90]

Dang, how did that happen?

[NISMOFANATIC748]

Lol thanks im just looking everywhere for the info and nonthing is in depth

[2muchboost]

You can use a DBC setup....I have my LS6 intake using an eBay bracket and 00 LS1 throttle. I'm using a 411 PCM which is DBC and Wiring Soecialities Harness which are both setup for DBC.
