go ahead and get the 7m, make sure that you install a metal headgasket and some arp headstuds or bolts, you will also have to get the fron part of the driveshaft so that you can have a custom driveshaft for the r154 made also do your homework on the 7m at supramania.com and don't forget to use the search engine

so anyway i found a guy that will rewire and graft the jz wire harness into the z and he also custom makes front facing intakes for the rb25 if anyone wants his number just pm me and i will pm you his number

the 2j is jdm

so i am swapping a 2j into a 240 for a friend of mine and he wants to use the 2j stock wire harness instead of going standalone which he already has but since he will be living in california he wants to keep the 2j as stock as possible so i wanted to know if someone has done the wiring before and did not post it up and any info that you guys can send my way will be helpful he does not want to use a standalone but if i cant find any info on the harness he might have to

well as you see the motor is in but i still have to drop the tranny to install cooler lines and then run them, i also have to get a flexible tranny dipstick and throttle cable for the car after that i install the driveshaft and then drive the car to the muffler shop to hace the exhaust connected to dlouis7 i tried to call you but no one answered and my area code is 904 and about the electrical i had a buddy of mine just tell me what wires had to be hooked up and i spliced them into the 280's harness which is mostly alot of power wires that go to the battery and to the accessories and since i am running a 4l60e i will be using an electrical speedo

if you are interested in getting some more power out of your 5.3 get the whole ls6 setup which includes the cam intake and springs and all this could be had for about 450 and also go to ls1tech.com and learn as much as you can about these engines because the possibilities of the 5.3 are endless and just to give you and example a buddy of mine has an 03 with the 5.3 with an ls6 intake headers 28lb injectors and a built tranny and he is running in the 11s so i know that the motor has a lot of potential and if you really want a serious tune just pm me and i will introduce you to the guy that will be tuning my car and i promise you that you will not be dissappointed

well i am a couple of days away from starting my 5.3 and i am pretty excited , still have a little more tinkering to do and then clean up the junk off the car and then install the driveshaft and then i will drive the car to the muffler shop to have the exhaust connected

the turbo will be on the driver side which means that your alternator will either sit really low or you wil have to relocate to the other side of the motor

its an ls style block the intake will fit, you could take the intake from a 4.8l truck and put it on a camaro and it will still fit and i will post pics later

i have a setup simular to the sts setup that is made for the camaro, in order to use the manifold i will have to cut the turbo flange off extend it about 3" and have the flange facing upwards so that the turbo sits on top and then have the downpipe run to the back and down near the fire wall which means that everything has to get ceramic coated so that the brake reservoir does not get too hot and then comes the passenger exhaust manifold which i have been researching and i think the best way to route this is down in front of the oil pan and up to the opening on the driver side exhaust manifold but i think once all that is worked out i think that the kit would be real easy to work with and i will post pics of what i am talking about later BY THE WAY I HAVE A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE THAT DOES TUNING ON THE LS1 COMPUTER AND IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED IN GETTING A TUNE OR GETTING STUFF DELETED FROM YOUR PCM I WILL ASK HIM IF ITS OK TO POST HIS NUMBER ON THE SITE AND AS YOU KNOW THAT THE LS1 WAS TUNED FAT FROM THE FACTORY SO THAT PEOPLE WOULD NOT BLOW THIER MOTORS

well i got the motor into the car and i started to test fit everything and would'nt you know it the main part of the turbo stuff does not fit so now i am left with either cutting the hot pipes and making them fit or selling this stuff and just making my own oh well,

http://www.ls1tech.com very good web site great for parts and info

well i finnally went and did it, i decided to put the baby ls1 with a turbo into my z a month before sez and now she won't be able to make it but i have been sourcing out parts and i am going to be ordering my mounts from johns cars tommarow and i hope to get everything into the car by the middle of this month, i got lucky and bought my hot pipes for my turbo from a guy on ls1tech.com and i also bought my tranny from someone on the same web site, a friend of mine gave me his old ls1 intake and i ordered my fuel rails today so they should be here some time next week. here is what my setup is goimg to look like gm 5.3 liter with 4l60e all stock but if i get lucky, ls6 cam ls1 intake with 55lb injectors t72 turbonetics turbo 60mm hks wastegate johns cars motor tranny mounts and driveshaft 3.70 limited slip large front mounted intercooler 3" piping 3" exhaust from turbo back, i might go larger, we will see well thats it for right now pics to come once engine is in the car

so does anyone out there know what the weight is for both of these heads if you do could you please post it for me thanx

your sort of far away and i am in jacksonville florida and i am swapping my l28et with an rb25 and so its up for sale the engine has been rebuilt completely with an hks metal head gasket and the tranny is a t5 with a race built clutch and a pro 5.0 shifter and the whole setup has under 4000 miles on it but i would like to get 900.00 for the whole thing here is my number 904 860 8099

i would go with an l28 turbo if i were you because it would be more cost effective and you can go to any local parts store for what ever ails your engine

hey i would be interested here is my email address and # give me a buzz and send pics

by the way i am in jacksonville fl so how do i change my location on the forum

thanx for the info because i have been thinking about that, i originally wanted a 5 speed but i wanted to go with a hydralic cluch and i still searching the forum for info leading to the fitment of a hyd clutch into my car and if i can't do that i know this guy with a built aod that i can mate to the engine

hey bro i would like you to build one for me, but i will not be able to pick it up until right before x-mas, you see i am on the uss john f kennedy out here in the arabian gulf, i saw the mock-up that you did on the intake last sept. hybrid-z event and i wanted one then and i still want one of those intakes that you made so if you can here is my e-mail address enriqujc@kennedy.navy.mil thanx for your time if that intake does not sell could you please hold it for me thanx jaymar

hey cleave how are you doing in the middle of the ocean me i am fine on the wiring of the 72 240 all we are using is the harness for the fuel injection system that came out of the 83zxt the hot wire that hooks up to the old coil is going to the new coil for the fuel injectin system now everything is hooked up right but i am not getting any spark and i looked at almost all the links on no spark in the archives and none relate to what is hapening to the car so if you could help out with this problem that i am having i would surely apprecinate it

hey everybody well i just put a 83zxt engine into a 72z and everything went smooth until i wanted to start it well first the fuel pump would not work so i spent all day tring to figure it out so i finally took it out of the car and took it apart and cleaned it so now it works great well i tried to start it and i found that there was no spark when the engine was turning over so i went into the archives to see if others had the same problem but no one wrote about haw they fixed the problem i thought that when you turn the key to start nothing would get power except the starting system so i have to test that when i get back if anyone has sume input it would be greatly apreciated thanx

hey cody hi i am also in the proccess of doing the downpipe job for my 83 zxt and if you have any info once you are done it would be greatly appreciated
