kraymond Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I am about to buy a 2002 Camaro LS1 motor w/ at and all accecessories with 20,00 miles, Wilson intake and throttle body, procharger with dual intercoolers for $5000.00 dollars. It is a wrecking yard cutout (still in the car) that they say I can hear run. I don't think the dual intercoolers will work in a 240Z but I can sell them to get one that will.

ben280zx Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Sound like a good find. Take it and take some pictures and let us see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraymond Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Here's the motor still in the car. I will here it run Saturday and if it checks out they will pull it. He said it was a Wilson intake and I thought it might be one of the new fabricated ones but it's the FAST intake and that is still a good deal.

kraymond Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 What else do I need to get off the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73DatsunZ Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Be careful if the car was wrecked pretty hard, it could have messed up the integrity of the Procharger / ball bearing. Is it a D1SC or a P1SC? Do you know how much psi was run through the motor on the current setup? Pulley size etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraymond Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 I don't know which procharger it is, pulley size or psi it was running. It is an automatic and the trans goes with it. The car is at a wholeseller who bought the car. He says it sounds like it has forged pistons because you can hear that light piston slap sound when it first runs and may have a cam. I am not that familiar with modded LS1 motors. I know some people that switch to synthetic oil speak of the piston slap sound in their motors. I wish someone on that side of town could look at it with me. It has a FAST intake and throttle body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73DatsunZ Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I would go check it out. Also call up ATI and see if you can send them the Procharger head unit and have them inspect it for damage etc when you buy it. They are really awesome. Also if you went and checked it out you can see if its a P1 or a D1, the P1SC has a smaller blade so it will be more boost limited, and the D1SC has a bigger blade so you can make more boost. I ask all these questions because I have a 2004 GTO LS1 (automatic) that I am putting into my 240z that has a D1SC procharger on it, running 7-8psi. Your car is gonna haul ass.

LS1 240Z Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 the piston slap is there on all LSx motors. its probaly a stock motor thats just boosted. thats a pretty good find for 5k if you get the harness and computer and what not.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraymond Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I ran the motor Saturday and it idles and sounds like it has a cam. It will be delivered today. I know you can measure lift with the valve covers off and probably measuring duration with a degree wheel. I don't really want to open the motor up but would like to know what I got. I need to order a bunch of stuff $$$$ and do a lot of work getting the car ready and don't want to spend any more money on the motor than necessary until it's running and then will get a dyno tune.

janaka Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 you could always just pull the front cover off the motor and see whats engraved on the end of the cam then just button it back up. i know my aftermarket cam had the lift etched into the end so it would give you a fairly easy way to check...

Guest Gr8White Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 it could have messed up the integrity of the Procharger / ball bearing. Exactly, I would not run that thing until ATI got a look at the internals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Get the radiator shroud and fans along with the motor. The shroud can be trimmed to fit a datsun radiator that has been converted to a 4-row. That will keepyou plenty cool and allow the fans to be controlled by the LS1 PCM as in a stock application. Simplifies your install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
