Im using a E40 LS2 PCM. I think the Sikky trans mount will still work with auto might have to get another driveshaft. Call sikky they will help.

If your running a T56 make sure you do the drill mod.

There was so much trial and error getting the car to where it was. Just to tear down and add turbo. lol. Anyway if your doing you swap I have a few of my parts that I can sell cheap to you so you wont have to go looking on how and what not. I have sikky oil pan, dual pass rad that is a must to keep from overheating, 1 7/8 Sikky long tube headers and 3" duals with borla xr-1s on the end. Let me know if you have any question, I've helped build two other G35s with LS swaps. 225-305-7015 Goodluck
Yea I will be giving you a call and that's a bummer about the mounts I thought they would be good quality due to the price but guess not !!! I'm also probly gonna try to re fit a Vette cluster where mine is now.
Another thing I'm tryin too decide is if keeping vvt is worth it ?

First what are your plans with the car. NA/Turbo ? Not sure what you mean by VVT. You will be running a GM PCM with the swap to control the motor and the G35 PCM to run everything else. My E40 controls only the motor. There is a lot more to this swap then just throwing it in. My biggest issue when building was cooling. I went through 3 radiators before getting the correct one to work perfect. Not to mention the fan setup lol. Just tell me your plans and budget and we can get you in the right direction.

The rear diff is fine for whatever you throw at it, its the half shafts is what breaks. Solid rear diff bushings and et streets at the track will do the job. Let me know about the swap parts I have a lot of great parts left over from my NA swap.

Nice build bro. I've started mine already but I'm untrested in the borla exhaust if you still have them. Which radiator did you end up using and part num if you don't mind? As of now I'm trying to see if I can bolt on a pro charger system designed for a truck. Your thoughts? Could it fit or should I attempt your rout instead?

I do still have the borlas but gonna hold on for a moment until turbo setup done. I don't have the part number for the rad but mine is for sale. 275 shipped. I wouldn't go with a procharger setup. Turbo all the way. If I could do it over it would be built 5.3/ heads/cam and 80mm bb turbo. There's not much room and turbo fits in real easy.

could you just use truck manifolds - they wouldn't be as pretty, but they'd work ?

jwilliams04 could you email me at i.izcorey@yahoo.com I'm planning on doing a ls2 swap in my g35 and was wondering what kind of problems you ran into and how you solved them.


Thanks, corey.
