My other little project

[DavidPHumes]

Some of you might know that I'm building this, but I've kept it on the relative DL in MN lately as I still want to surprise a few folks!

Engine is coming out this weekend and then the bay will be getting resprayed. After that I basically just need to slap it all together and get a tune on it!

Now that's more like it. I've seen a gazillion DSM builds, but the LSx stuff in cool japanese stuff really intrigues me. Makes me want to pull the 5.3 out of my Tahoe and slap it in my GSX or Lotus.

Looks like fun! How exactly does the exhaust go? Looks like it goes to the back then links up and comes back up front to the turbo?

[asshanson]

Which LS motor is that?
Cubes?
Cam specs?
Iron or Aluminum block?
Turbo specs?

MOAR details!

Don't find many single turbo LS setups, hope it doesn't sound like a Subaru with the unequal length exhaust lol.

Don't find many single turbo LS setups, hope it doesn't sound like a Subaru with the unequal length exhaust lol.5.3L L33 (all aluminum), 9.9:1 CR, LS6 cam (204/218), Turbonetics TC76 (.96A/R, journal bearing, 65mm turbine wheel).

It's a completely stock, untouched 50k mile bottom end with ARP head bolts, LS9 head gaskets, Patriot Gold dual valve springs and an LS6 intake.

And thanks... I'm not sure what it's going to sound like but even with the open downpipe it's probably still going to be pretty quiet.

The way you talked about this in your other thread it was a runner/driver. Get this thing finished up, will be cool to see!

Fuggin sick. I wish I was smarter and knew how to do swaps like this.

And Andrew, it's an LS motor so chances are its going to sound kinda meh... :) I love the motors, just wish they sounded better lol. Personal preference I suppose. But awesome build man!!

Honestly, I came into this swap having never done anything with cars, so it's not rocket science. It's all been done before!

Now this is cool :) I enjoy LS swaps immensly! If my DD didn't just catostrophically break, then I'd be looking for something fun to swap. Someday I guess haha. Good luck with the project, can't wait to see it finished!
