Nismoandy Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone for me this has been a bit of a dream for sometime , i will let you know as I progress from week to week i might not answer all the questions straight away but I will try my best. The kit for Ls1 has been purchased ,made by (ISR PERFORMANCE ) made in the USA and can be purchased from tarmac sportz in the U.K. and Torqen Parts in the photo show parts purchased for the build. The engine is a 5.7 v8 normal found in a corvette all aluminium block, and weight difference between the two engine's is ruffley 98 kilos. I have opted to have the engine completely rebuilt with new parts and uprated to hopefully around 450 bhp and 475 torque ,on the engine side you can spend loads more money and have a monster or less up to individual tast - and budgets. At the moment the engine is being built so not finished yet. At home i am starting to strip the car down repair bits that are needed and some that don't that's enough for now ill be back soon Edited September 13, 2021 by Nismoandy The original was Not a good description 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Andy. I mentioned Wassos build to you during our many chats. He had his done at the z shed and the wiring loom was the big headache. See you soon mate. Edited January 21, 2020 by Payco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nismoandy Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Just recently I have taken the engine out as you can see the engine bay isn't too bad but there are a few spots of rust and and tidying up is required. With this in mind and I have now turned my attention to Kyle Russell and is doing the engine build and his is counterpart Dave who's also doing the wiring loom for the build one of the original photos I put in the the build thread was of a completed engine by Kyle Russell. My engine will be a LS1 5.7 litre normally found in a corvette around 1999 to 2002 an early engine producing around 350 brake horsepower Kyle will be taking the engine completely apart and rebuilding it with new parts as I intend to keep the car for a long time the camshaft will be from an LS7 . The heads will be from a later version allowing greater flow of air fuel all the internals will be updated and the crank will be reground and new new bearings throughout Hopefully by the end of the build the engine will then produce close to 450 horsepower with the equivalent in torque but it will be dino Run and we will find out the exact figures on the rebuild 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nismoandy Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Hi sorry it been a long time ago I put a progress report about the Ls1 swap . The above video is of the newly built engine on the dyno. First video above is of the engine being revved checking oil pressure water temperature and getting the fuelling correct with the new ECU Edited April 23, 2020 by Nismoandy Update 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismoandy Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) this video shows the The fly by wire 350Z throttle pedal working with an LS3 throttle body on an LS1 engine . This allows for better throttle response and delete the throttle cable Edited April 23, 2020 by Nismoandy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismoandy Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Last video is of the dino Run producing the safe map for the engine before it gets installed into the car. I say safe map this is where the engine is not tune to it ultimate Power just so that it can be installed and run with safety in mind, and then when the car is finished it gets tune to his potential Edited April 23, 2020 by Nismoandy 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismoandy Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) The dyno Run produced 454 BHP and 442 Torque pounds . Once installed it will have a final dyno tune to allow for exhaust , gearbox, etc..im extremely happy with the result and hopefully i Will be able to install the engine SOON Edited June 19, 2020 by Nismoandy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
