Stupid_fast Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Throwing in a LS1 with a turbo and automatic The thought of that makes me sick. At least put a 2jz in it. Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 The thought of that makes me sick. At least put a 2jz in it. Everybody n dey mama got a ls1, but i cant say its not a good powerplant for the price though. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 The thought of that makes me sick. At least put a 2jz in it. Whats the problem? Lots of power, good drivability, and able to achieve over 30mpg on long trips (In a 240z at least). My point is they makes lots of power, and are fairly efficient as well. Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 LOL HAHAHA can't believe anyone thought that was serious XD I basically listed everything that I'm against for Datsuns lmao First, fuck LSx's and anyone who puts them in a Datsun/Nissan, or any other car they didn't come stock in, for that matter. Second, as long as I can help it, this car will never be turbo'd Third, absolute blasphemy to put an auto in a sports car!! Doing a somewhat mild L28, 9.5 to 10:1 compression, old Clifford grind cam, P90 head with a bunch of work done on it (by me and my dad) and SUs (might step up to triples later on, but this is still my DD and I have no experience with them yet lol) Shooting for ~200whp which will be a nice bump from where I'm at now and should allow me to do some 70mph+ entrys and shit haha 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Still like the LS1. I was kinda :blink: about the auto though. Quote Link to comment

My point is they makes lots of power, and are fairly efficient as well. I do not dislike the LS1, he said LS1 and automatic... It just seems like the most undesirable setup unless a daily driver car. I do like american V8, the corvettes LSx, Fords new 5.0's, they are OK for Z's but it just does not look right to me. Designed for an inline-6, and they just look at home in the engine bay...

Then again thats crank rated HP... Its what I'm trying to get my brother to save for. And yes, manual shift is the best for touring sports cars!! Most fun! only sucks in traffic.

bludestiny Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 You'e gonna need an aggressive cam to get it, but it can be done with SU's Quote Link to comment
Ratty260z Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 i made 150rwhp on a stock junkyard p79/f54 combo l28 with a msa header,dual SU's,fidanza flywheel and advanced timing. i think 200rwhp would be doable with a big cam headwork and the SU's i think you will like the SU's easier to tune and cheaper to come by also they are inherently more torquey then triples due to there design. z-ya on hybridz made 180rwhp on a n47/f54 combo (10-1 comp ratio) with stock cam polished off the casting marks no porting and a SU fuel injection manifold and megasquirt. so it's totally doable. i'm not sure what diff you have but a higher ratio might get you closer to what you want and keep you in the power band as well.

bludestiny Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 He was running 12:1 with a setup similar to what ppk wants, but he also said it was built to run at 7500rpm. The dyno stopped at 6500. Quote Link to comment
Aaron Datsun Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Why not a Jag V-12. I have seen an LS powered s130 that engine looked good under the hood. The car was mint I wish I would have got pictures of it. Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Lol I sucked in both those vids... later on in the day (on the sportwhacks) I started figuring the car out again, def ned moar powar Second parking lot vid was on too much camber and bald tires #racecardriverexcuses And here butthead lol Such an epic ride. Really dig it all comes together perfectly and it's cool to see it getting drifted. Thumbs up You wouldn't happen to have another rear wing laying around would you? Ha I've been looking for one but they are rather tough to come by. Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 That's a reply I could only expect from a high school student. I do not like the RB-series, either. Especially the 25. Useless engines. Quote Link to comment

PurePontiacKid Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 LOL RB25 is not reliable and WHEN shit goes wrong, id play hell to get parts for it (unlike an L, which I can go to pretty much ANY parts store and get everything for it [except a damn SU carb kit <_<]) VG30DE is just as unreliable, looks like shit, sounds like shit, and uses a rubberband to keep the cams turning. VH41 is still ugly, sounds decent at best, probably somewhat reliable, but still uses a damn rubberband. And damn Unfriendly! Where the fuck you been?? Quote Link to comment
The Crowing Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah I hear the expensive parts bit, the P/S pump for my 26 is over 1k new lol. But its too bad, ive always wanted to see a NA RB in a Z lol. But yeah I say keep the L, maybe stroke it? Not sure how badly it would limit the revs. Quote Link to comment
bludestiny Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Limit the revs? maybe on a stock cam. If you build a stroker right, you can hit 8k all day long. Quote Link to comment
jalen Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 L28 block with a RB head :rofl: Quote Link to comment
