Twin turbo lq4 buildup< Suggestions? Turbo Lq4 240sx buildup...please help......
Ok so I have a 96 240 sx 5spd 5 lug vlsd rear diff
And I seriously plan dropping an lq4 w t56 trans,,,,,
I was wondering what you think thus far.....
I have all the turbo stuff(I think)
fmic,55mm wastgates and 2x gt45 bb turboes.....
custom made turbo ls1 exhaust manifolds(Will they work?)
I have a bunch of stuff also for the 240 but might sell and upgrade....
Mounts from what I hear are interchangeable between ls1<lq4?......
Had an 01 ls1 w t56 but do 2 finances had 2 sell.
Fack......
I was wondering if all the accesories,parts between an ls1
and lq4 are compatable and what I would need to switch?I'm thinking basically the same as an lq4 f-body swap no? All the the front accesories,
oilpan, etc.....If I want to install the t56 what will I need?
What else is needed for a standard lq4 into f-body swap?
Im basing the lq4 swap with the 240...as most people put ls1's in their 240s
but the people that have stock ls1's are putting lq4's in ther cars>>>>>
What about other upgrades etc>
I want 5-600hp @ about 10 psi........
Obv for performance/fitment I need a car style intake.....
Dont want some fugly hood scoop......
What about the head does it flow well enough if I port it?
I hear that the lq4's heads flow pretty well...Cant verify sources....
What about t-body...stock ls1 sufficient?......
I'm actually thinking of picking up a junk ls1 for all the access:spare parts etc.....
Anything I'm missing let me know!!!!!
Thanx dru @ thecarguy84@live.com

Yo What do you mean its a bit wrong?.....What not enough power or too much explain your opinion......From what Ive been told by many is that a gt45 is a t66....Its 4am kind tired forgive me if Im wrong but,,,,,,
Will the gt45's not flow enough?....It said each will hold 50 psi and is good for 2.5 -7.0 litre engines....the a.r is like 1.05 or something,,,,,
Ive seen 100ohp supras w the Gt45....well they claimed 1000hp but who knows right?

500-600 hp? one lq4 one of your turbos should do it. you will need a vette or f car pulley system
you diff will be fine, if its not upgrade to 300zx twin turbo (r230= 230mm=9 inches)
turbo cars don't really care about the throttle body so stock is fine.
if you have manifolds already for an ls1 they will work with the lq4
t56 should bolt right up
you will need a car manifold of some sort.
all other typical turbo parts as well.
good luck
