LS1 in a 240SX Just happened to see the last few minutes of that show NOPI TUNERVISION and some guy showed his drift car: a 240SX with an LS1 out of a T/A. Looked like he did a nice looking job in the engine bay, but they only showed it and talked for 30 seconds...bet it flies...

that was me, and thanks for the kind words. i was there doing the drift exhibitions and got my 15 seconds of fame on tv talking to the chick with the saggy fake knockers.
i built the car in just under 3 weeks to have it ready for that event. finished the swap and started the car friday afternoon, immediately drove it an hour to atlanta for alignment and vinyl, then another hour to the track on saturday morning to start beating on it. blew the motor sunday while doing the 1st demo and that ended my weekend. it's not rebuilt with an LS6 cam and some other minor upgrades, and it is quick to say the least. i actually can't wait to hit the dragstrip this season for the first time in forever.

it's great other than the low redline. i'd like to find a taller rear end for it and up the limiter closer to 7k but right now i'm just happy driving it as-is.

Wow thats awesome to see more people doin the 240/ls1. A good friend of mine just sold his ls1/rx7 and that car was bad ***!!! I guess there is a new shop in San Jose to, who speicalize in building ls1 rx7/240's. Hopefully one day when I get the $$$$ I can get a S13 240 with a s14 front end and a LS1 under the hood.

that's Rhys Millen, and he's basically done with that car now. his new car for this year is a turbocharged and highly modified Solstice. he should've put an Lsx in the solstice though, he's blown about 3 of the 4cyl motors so far in testing from what i've heard.
