i was stating my opinion like everyone else.

think about it. you think a built SR would be more reliable then a stock LS if it was tracked?

LOL

I'll be answering a lot of the questions asked, I just need to finish my reply to about 20 quotes.

For what it's worth, I don't want everyone to agree with what I'm doing. I just want people to appreciate the final product and the work that went into it. So Teddy, keep on thinking how you think man... I like hearing everyone's opinions!

Keep the reply's and bickering coming... it makes for a fun thread as long as it doesn't get out of control.

Good attitude. No matter what you do it will be very nice I am sure. I actually love LSX's so I can't really understand why I'm dissappointed you chose this route.

What should've happened. For sale thread for original posters motor, then once some parts and actual build are going on, by all means start a build thread.

Really now zilvia, let's abide by the rules that you all created in the first place.....come on now.

True, but we all know the world is a biased place.

And teddy, jealousy is a biatch.

LOL, Teddy has an R32 sedan. He makeh me jealousy.

Agreed.

That Aero bumper is stupid clean.
This will remind me of that red coupe from Canada with stock body and wide fenders. So sick. Please supercharge this.

PerilousActs · 12-14-2010, 11:07 AM

Gonna have to jump in here and say +1 on the supercharge this idea. After witnessing Nackers z33 when he first brought it out to O'reilly once the supercharger was installed...all I can say is that I've never heard another import that even compares to it =p.

Zilvia fail.

Keep your damn mouths shut until the build is complete.

I agree, I don't really want to have to go through 5 billion pages to look at the build.

Are you putting this on your blog Toby?

V8 in a 240 makes such much sense. dollard for dollard you cannot beat it.

So true, that's why mine's getting LS2 here in a month, and I'll start the thread when I'm actually doing something on it.

So we're admitting guilt then offering watered down excuses now......wonderful.

mrflip69 · 12-14-2010, 05:58 PM

Why not LS7 Crate motor? Cost/performance ratio? I think the only reliability mod needed would be accusump/dry sump. You're gonna need bigger tires!

I was agreeing with you.

BUT

You should quit whining.

P.S. - I call B.S on your LS2 unless you start a build thread on it.

haha, true on the whining, although to me I was just making a point.

I will have a build thread when I have enough parts to start one. So far I have the car and the LS2 so now it's all the in between stuff.

Broadfield's car is definitely going to be clean. Can't wait to see it take off. Someone buy his motor already!

codyace · 12-15-2010, 03:34 PM

Badass Toby! Awesome to see this becoming v8 based. I get a kick out of these guys on here saying stay SR or go this or go that...it's your car and you're obviously going about it how you want to.

*sigh*...someday my SR will explode and I can go v8 too.

LS7 crate costs are utterly rediculous from GM...granted they make power, and are reliable, but the simple fact is that a ls3 based setup can darn near make equal pwoer (don't get me wrong those cubes would be nice) but at much less cost!

OBEEWON · 12-15-2010, 03:41 PM

LS7 is a demon motor. I lubz it.

Toby,
Can I call you Kunta Kinte?
make a new thread whenever you get started, this ones dirty.

Yeah, a crate LS7 is $13000

... twice the price of the LS3. We'll see on the tires. I have 285's out back, so not bad. I think it will hook okay actually. I think the 400whp turbo setup is actually worse because of the shock on the drivetrain/tires when the turbo hits. The V8 which be very linear. We'll see.

is this car going to have a/c?

Many have called me that, so feel free

I'm not too worried about the thread. I didn't make it just to show the build... I wanted there to be discussion about it also. Which there is obviously plenty of that.

Dr.Fate · 12-15-2010, 07:03 PM

Chi-town stand up! arrgggh I wish I was at home in the Chi! I would have paid your kid collage and your little girls wedding if I was at home!

SupaDoopa · 12-16-2010, 11:22 AM

Who ever said they're anti-V8 are fanboys. If there is legitimate reasoning behind it, it's your car and your money and I wish you the best of luck. Everything you seem to touch is fiyuh. And for those who said the SR is going to be more reliable than the V8 is nuts. How is a turbo motor with much more aspects to it going to be more reliable than a LS that is made to take high horsepower?

Toby, do you. I saw your car's other build thread following it the whole way to the magazine feature which is sitting like a bible in my room. Can't wait to see the custom things you got going on with this thing.

Oh, give me some of the parts off that SR of yours.

tricky_ab · 12-16-2010, 11:32 AM

This thread is four pages long and all that's been annouced was that he's going V8! Epic thread!!!

kyles1988 · 12-16-2010, 11:54 AM

posted a pic of the bumper too

Bushido · 12-16-2010, 01:11 PM

are you going to use the s13 dcc??

can i make a suggestion?

use z34 controls

Toby is gay and his car sucks.

I hear so much crying. Call the fucking wambulance already.

Pstl_pete · 12-16-2010, 03:39 PM

Can't wait to watch this come together. I'm planning on the same swap using GM's E-rod LS3 setup in hopes of making it carb legal here in California.

It may be a steep entry price but when you consider the advantages I think its well worth it.

Nice Peter! Yes, I'm doing the GM crate motor, but lucky for me I don't need it to pass any emissions. So I'm doing this one along with a set of long tube headers and pretty open exhaust:

My old ls2 s14 had LT headers and an exhaust and passed emissions and got over 23 mpg im sure you could pass

97240TB · 12-16-2010, 11:39 PM

HEY....

...Goodluck.

Slideways74 · 12-17-2010, 10:07 AM

Seeing as how your buying a crate engine, you're going to need a power steering pump and a A/C pump. I happen to have the A/C pump left over from my swap. Let me know if you want it.

Sick build, cant wait to see how it comes out.

Thanks man! I'll most likely just get the accessory kit from the same place I'm getting the motor. For around $750 you get the alternator, A/C compressor, power steering pump, power steering reservoir, all brackets, belts, pulleys, tensioners etc.
