Default L92 info?

Hi guys I'm new here. I have a 240sx & I'm swapping a Ls motor in. I found a 07 L92 motor complete with harness for really cheap! My question is does LS parts will bolt on (intake, cams, heads, rod bolt, oil pump, etc)???

My goal is 400 rwhp/rlbs torque! Also i have to switch it to cable drive throttle bodies!

Whats u suggest me to do???

Thanks!

Kevin..

Be careful if the deals seems to good the be true.

The L92 uses a specific intake, VVT camshaft, and VVT front cover. Everything else should be interchangeable.

Try a search, there is a ton of info on this.

l92 head has to use the l76 or ls3 intake, any cable driven 4-bolt 90mm tb will work. you can delete the vvt crap and use whatever cam you want. or you can wait for fast to release their l92 intake sometime in the next few months, years, decades, centuries....

Do you plan on using the harness and ECM that came with the engine? If you are, I believe the E38 ECM does not support a cable TB.

How much is it?

My suggestion would be to build something using an F-body Wiring Harness and PCM, and build the Engine with the Crank Reluctor that the LS1 PCM will read(I think it's the 24X), that will make things simpler..

What parts I need if I want to remove the VVT & rev it to 6500rpm???? Does the L92 rocker, lifter,pushrod will be strong enough for a Drift car???

Thanks!

I've got a L92 that has been converted on the dyno right now. I should have video and pics by the end of the week.
Dual Lunati Springs and a Lunati 232/238 cam. L76 Intake with a GMPP LS3 Controller.

I will also have Carb numbers as well.

You need a 3 bolt cam, 3 bolt 4x cam gear, LS2 chain damper, LS2 front cover. Thats it.

When you swap to an LS1 cam and cam gear, and LS2 front cover, you are essentially eliminating the VVT. What you need to watch is the AFM engines. They require a lifter swap as well.

Please update us when you get the results. My combo is similar to this one.

What intake are you using. The front accessories dont have anything to do with the cam or VVT. If you use a truck intake, your fine with stock L92 accessories. If you use a car intake, ie LS3 or L76, the idler pulley needs to be relocated.

400 rwhp should be real easy. They make 403 hp (flywheel in truck form).
Good luck w the swap.

And just out of curiosity... how cheap was "cheap"?

I think what he meant was that the truck accessories don't work in the Nissan 240SX swap. That portion is correct. The alternator sits too high and would be protruding through the hood. You will need F-Body accessories for the 240 swap. Also as stated earlier when switching to the car intake LS3/L76 you will have to swap the water pump to a car pump because of the interference of the coolant line.

OK we had an interesting day. I am working with a GMPP LS3 Controller on the dyno. Have some issues tuning the ECU that we should get sorted out today and be back to making some pulls.

The ECU that we had flashed with a VIN seems to have a different calibration that what was original. Maybe the tech flashed a CTS-V into our ECU. I had a spare unmolested ECU that fired and ran great. A little shy on the timing and a little too much fuel in the stock calibration. Ours has that Lunati cam so we also need to up the idle request.

Made 1 pull to 5000 everything looked good. Made 2 more only to 6000 and it made over 500 horsepower with a very soft tune. I called it a day till we can tune this ECU.

Engine is a GMPP Crate L92. Removed the VV and installed a Lunati 232/238 113 lobe sep .600 lift cam. LS3 Front cover, 4X cam gear and LS1 Harmonic Balancer. Installed the Lunati dual valve springs with the Ti retainers.
Headers are 1 3/4" F Body Coated Hookers. Electric water pump. LS3 Intake.

More info when it happens!

So which water pump I need, a LS3 or LS2??? For the rest I will make some custom bracket for the idler & alternator, it will be cheaper for me!
