My Porsche 944 5.3 swap
Well I figured I would share this little project I'm undertaking. Gas engines aren't my expertise, I've done a lot of cummins swaps and diesel builds but this is my first ls swap.
I went with the 944 because it weighs 2800lbs from the factory and in my opinion is better looking and more unique than the nissans/mazdas people typically choose for a light ls swap. This car is a strict street toy, just a bare bones, quick ride. Removed a/c, powersteering, and brake booster (had to be removed to clear valve covers anyways).
Engine is a mild build, I may do a wet kit down the road when I get comfortable with this.
-TSP 228r @ 110 lsa
-LS6 intake/injectors
-heads decked .015
-tubular manifolds
-ls7 lifters, ls2 chain, .600 springs, hardened pushrods
Currently waiting on parts to make progress.
Car as it was when I bought it. Wing is removed
I had to change my accessories to a Camaro setup.
