good lord

what rear end are you going to use? a low boost F20 blows the stock rear end apart a lsx would melt it.

 

A saw an S2000 with a Nissan R230 rear swap. Stock is the same as the weaker rx7 rear with a 7" ring gear.

I've been waiting a long time to see this swap!

 

Suscribed!! Badass and good luck. Nice to see a real motor in that car.

 

Thats is the rear end that the S2k guys are using with the 2JZGTE swap.

 

I knew somebody was gonna attempt this good luck with the swap

here is some inspiration for ya :

You can try Mustang 5.0 headers with LS1 flanges. A few LS1 FC guys have done this and it works well.

 

just awesome.
it makes me so happy to see that motor in that car.
beautiful chassis and now a similarly nice motor but with mega displacement, wow that thing is gonna be incredible on the streets. you may have the first LS1-S2000 when its up and running, thats a great world wide claim, congrats and get it up and running asap!

you might need to make your own headers or you might be able to modify the LS1RX7 headers from hinson or from JTR or modify the mustang BBKs or try the vette headers used on LS1240sx swaps. either way best of luck! lookin good and cant wait to see more progress!

more pics too!

 

Yea this has been talked about over on the V8 RX7 forum a good bit i was wondering when someone would take it on, Just one question why did you remove the ABS I see this so much in the swaps and just dont get it I'm sure you can get it to work.

 

Very cool. Very, very cool.

 

I don't think he is the first because I was watching a video of a ls1 swapped s2k today on streetfire.net and I got the link from this forum when I get home I will post it (posting rom my treo @ work)

 

that video is fake. you can watch the real one on youtube and he has the honda 4cyl with itb's. it just has the sound dubbed over it.

EDIT;
here is the ls1 sound over s2k video

and here is the original, -start watching at the 40 sec mark cause that kid is annoying as hell.lol

that may be the same car but it's got a turbo in the first vid so may sound a bit different??? or am i missing something?

should probably keep this on track so not to fug up this awesome thread!

 

Wow i always wanted to do a swap like this, this would be the only import i would drive.........subscribing!!!!! good luck with the swap, you got the support of the lsx crowd. But your going to **** off alot of ignorant honda kids

 

For headers, your should find some one who will custom build some, if you cant do it yourself. Although I see your a good fab guy, so you might try it. If your anywhere close to SoCal, there is a real real good exhaust shop in San Bernardino that will make custom headers and exhausts for anything. Ive seen their work, real nice stuff

 

i live in San Bernardino. where at?

 

that is the coolest thing i have seen in a long time. that is an S2K i would drive for sure!

 

The shop is called Scotty's muffler. Its down on E I think, like in the down town area. Look them up in the phone book. Real nice guys, and awesome work

 

hey hboy. what computer are you going to use?

what issues did you have with aligning the shifter? my car uses the T56 and we had to move the engine forward to get the shifter in the right spot. you moved your engine back 3.5 inches?

have you mock fitted any headers yet, or are you just going to throw parts at it? i ended up putting a front clip on the car, simply to accommodate the custom headers. at the time, there were no off-shelf headers that came even close to fitting.

i'm using C4 IRS. you'd better be using more than a nissan rearend if you want that setup to last.

what size radiator are you going to use? it doesn't look like you have much room left in there, with the stock radiator core support. are you removing the A/C? are you using the OEM multi-belt accessory setup?

and because this is ls1tech, what mods on the engine?

i'd recommend keeping the ABS. if anything, get a standalone ABS unit.

 

Are you also building a LS1-swapped S2K too? If so, post some pictures of it and some more info for us in a new thread.
