LS1 in a 240sx?

[S13counterpart]

@3VoL

I’m trying to search around and find where I saw it. I do remember someone posting their car scaled with a ka24de then a ls1 with a t-56 transmission. The ratios were closer to 50/50 front and back and the front wheels didn’t have as much weight on them as compared to the ka24de. A lot of the weight is that t-56 transmission and the engine sitting so close to the firewall but its in a very good spot for making the car turn better (low middle of the car). But S13counterpart your right on the total weight of the transmission and engine.

Yes I am because I’ve done my research. The front wheels will have MORE wight if the LS isn’t moved back through the firewall…

With the engine sitting noiticably lower and further back in the chassis and a batt. relocation the weight distribution probably wont suffer, and may even come closer to 50/50 then stock as 3Vol said.

~200 extra lbs is nothing when you’ve just put down more then 250whp over a KA. Besides who here is going to be racing their car to the point that 126lbs is going to make a difference? If you’ve ever auto-x’d 126 pounds will make a noticeable difference

The LS1 WILL NOT give you 50/50 WD (Unless properly corner balanced on coils). Not without moving it back and cutting into the firewall and tranny tunnel. with the t56 shifter in the stock s-chassis location it sits far enough forward
The engine does sit a BIT lower than the KA. It’s also a bigger engine overall so the bottom will obviously be lower.

@roast

It’s a general rule of thumb that anything “rogerthat240” posts is absolute shit.

I’m glad you’ve refuted him, he NEVER backs up his info.

Which is why there’s so much BS about the LS engine… Too many people who back their shit up.

People need to stop talking about this engine if they know nothing about it.
