The real question is, will you be able to beat my SR20DET and still get
30miles to the galon? I guess not, guess we didn’t think about that now, did we?
If I wanted something economic, I’d buy a Smart Car.
30 mpg isn’t that good, and yeah, with highway gears you can squeeze it out of a V8 if it’s tuned properly.
It’s only 4.7L
And I don’t have to wait for Overnight Parts From Japan,
Every Candian Tire in Canada has all the parts I could ever need, in stock and cheap.
The rebuild kit is like $120!!!
But I’m not even going to be driving it. It’s a girl’s car.
My 2.0 will be plenty for me.
My 2.0 >
Next up is the 6.6L we’ve got. Just gotta find a home for it. Mmm vintage turbo pistons for cheap. TT 383 anybody?
THAT will be bad on gas
You just end up using more fuel when you go faster
S13 swap would be a breeze. And a SBF doesn’t weigh much more than a KA, and would sit in the same location.
I like the SBF because of its short deck. A SBChrysler would be cool too. A bit taller (hood scoop time) but very narrow. And make wicked power for cheap.
Will the hood clear the filter?
Nice swap. Post it up on Hybrid Z 8)
There are lots of guys wanting to put SBCs into Nissan trucks since the majority of the powerplants found in them from the factory are useless and inefficient.
I’m pretty sure the V8 argument has been made countless times. With that being said, there are reasons as to why carbs were replaced by fuel injection.
Likewise there are reasons why some people elect a smaller displacement motor over a larger displacement motor.
Everyone has their preference. I mean if the roles were reversed and we lived in Japan where everything is small displacement, and parts could be purchased locally at the nearest auto store, it would be just about as attractive an option, as going V8 does here…
Btw, really nice! Can’t wait to see that in action. :D[/quote]
By someone, I was referring to someone on SON. I know it’s been done, pretty much every engine/car combination has been done by SOMEONE. Any links? I’m actually curious as to how it all looks when it’s finished (LS6 240sx).
Wow making a few 100hp from a V8 and tuning a carb… that’s impressive… oh wait no it’s not… it’s the simple way out of actually having to do something to create the power, technically boring and displays no ability to build/fabricate/tune what so ever.
and a 330+ dry weight, bare motor ( LS2 ) is hardly light… ( i’ve weighed this motor for a SEABEE marine aircraft. )
haha your all f u c k i n g ricers, no true race car is economy, if u cant afford gas you shouldnt be in this game losers, mr200 thats really nice, alot of you dont know shit about v8s
