** Yet Another S13 240sx Powered LS1 Swap ** Well these things are poping up left and Right as you all have noticed on these forms. Im friends with ls1neezy, I helped him out a little bit with his headers and such. So alot of my ways of doing swap are basically based off of his, pretty much everything was pretty well thought out and done right. I didn't want to make this huge post and have like step by step bolt by bolt replay. Same with neezy he basically posted a while after he had finished it. Im making my passenger hside header today, and building my 3 inch exhaust. Im waiting for my computer from comming back from pcmamerica.com and the car will be drivable. Thanks to eveyone and all the ideas to make my swap come together.
Here is with 2871r 740 injector z32 maf 100 octain on a sr20det redtop
Here is engine car shot before I put ls1, Yes I blew up 3 sr20's lol

I've been following 1neezy's posts closely to get an idea of the parts I need for this swap. Currently I'm looking for mufflers. I was thinking about putting a 2 to 1 muffer in place of the dummy cat / resonator and then another n1 style muffler at the end. In your experience would there be enough space to fit the muffer midway underneath the car? How do you guys go about routing the muffer pipes anyway?

Tranmission mount!! Well see if it holds up or not. 1/8 inch thick plate that i basically cut up and tig welded together. I started out by mounting the rubber trans mount to trans. then cut a length of material and drilled holes to secure to trans ruber mount and let it stick out a little on each side. then i cut the one that i would be bolting to chasis. Then when i had everything lined up how i wanted it i measured and cut the metal to link the chases plates to the plate i had bolted to the trans rubber. then tacked it all in place with mig welder, took it all off put on bench and tig welded it.

I'm going to be using a Borla XR1 muffler on mine. I was thinking of trying out a one chamber flowmaster back there as well later if I don't like the sound of how the XR1 sounds on the car but time will tell on that. Gotta get it running first to hear how it sounds. From what I hear the Borla XR1 should sound pretty good though.

Not only do you get to use the stock hangers, but you get much higher quality (304 stainless) and what I'm guessing will be a better sound due to the resonator.
Well I didnt like how the ls1 sounded with a ricey muffler on it. I heard a fd with a rice muffler and it just didnt sound right. Ls1neezy played some sound clips of the dynomax bullet mufflers and they sounded pretty good. as far as using a setup to use stock hangers!! thats nice but i like a Challenge and Considering almost everything on car is custom now doing a exhaust isn't so bad. Let me know how your car sounds ! I'm curious.

BTW my headers i dont like to much!!! They didnt turn out how i wanted exactly.. its kinda hard doing it by myself, neezys turned out better when i was able to help him and angle everything right. i want to make a jig and get the runners closer to gether and not have then go down so low. and as far as that crazy runner on the pass header!! lol dont ask. i just say i was going for equal length at this point

this is my car with 2.5" dual into 3" single and nothing more than an ebay riceboy muffler on the car.

it's really not that loud externally and to my ears it's a good sound, but sound is an incredibly subjective matter
. i might build another system for it with true duals both exiting the same side along with some actual headers to give it some more growl.nice car btw.
