if they can stuff a rb26dett into a mustang, i guess this is only fair....

They've been doing that for years now....

spugen: it's new to me sorry :o

when something like this goes out to race at some track event, what would it be classed as? do they go by what engine it has, or the chassis?

They put that V8 everywhere! FCs, EGs, S14s. If it fits, it goes in. If it doesnt fit, they will make it fit, it goes in.

i've been obviously living under a rock... i've only seen these go into FD RX-7's, a nissan hardbody pickup truck, and a honda civic :o

^comments are true, LS1 has been put in everything

Heck even Z31's have had LS swaps

dont forget that R33

if I get a fd, LS1 is going in

I wish i found out about this site before I sold my 240sx. And if you go on www.ls1tech.com there is a section where it is dedicated to shoving LS series of engines into anything. I think one guy is working on a prius. and there is one old SL. even a bug eye subaru

Nice improvement if you ask me.

I don't get why these people have to ruin every car with that stupid motor. I don't care about power blah blah blah it's just annoying to me.

LS1 can probably fit in any car if they want it too haha

Underscore:

You probably like the GTR too, don't you?

All your cars are slow, you wouldn't understand.

you drive a 17 year old toyota with motegis and lowering springs

LS1 Smart?

What does that have to do with anything?

ah yes, the old "this car is faster/more expensive than yours so you're not allowed to diss it" remark. try harder cocksmacks. while we're at it what do you drive?

lets see, powerful, easy to tune, cheap to tune, light weight, reliable, oh and did i mention cheap?

if you're a purist then fine, stick with oem and spend 3x the money to get it running the same performance gains a LSx engine can give a car, otherwise dont hate the engine. There's a reason why everyones putting it everywhere, it's not just a trend and ppl do it for shits and giggles.

is it really that light? V8 vs a rotary in an RX7? I tend to see the rotaries drift, and the V8's just do burnouts and silly drags, but that's just me.

Drags aren't silly. Plus, yes it is that light. Even though it's a bigger engine than a rotary, you're comparing aluminum to cast iron (correct me if I'm wrong). Large weight difference. I'm not a fan of dropping an LSx into XXXXXXX, but it's not my car. Do what you will with your car, and if it's done well, I'll still oggle over it :P

ls1 ftw

You have been living under a rock, thanks

really like this build

from what I got from google the LS1 runs 50-100lb more than the rotaries (info's kinda hard to match up) and sits 6in further forward and higher. but the extra torque makes it quicker overall. interesting.


where do people get all these motors anyways? do Corvettes handle so badly that people total them all the time or something?

If I got a fd and i want to keep it I would get a LS1 swap for sure, its lighter, more power and its alot CHEAPER to maintain then the rotary engine

Well, he does live in kelowna... close enough.
