So take a Skyline⌠which rules because of its AWD⌠swap in a TTLS1 and make it RWD then drift it. Super duper cool. âš I wish I could get sideways⌠but I totally canât (see sig). What Iâd like to see would be a TTLSX that still uses the Skyline AWD. Now **THAT** would be nutter butter.

We sure the skyline is just rwd in this? Iâm just wondering because the awd system is supposed to cut all power to the front wheels if you make the back end swing out on purpose. But seeing as how itâs a purpose built drift car⌠Iâm probably dead ass wrong.

I can kind of see the point in this context.
Turbo LS1 \> turbo 3.8L?
LS2TT 6.6L \> RB26 TT
In my opinion.

Maybe you are semi-correct. But the point I was making is that you already have a proven powerplant in both of these cars to begin with. Now why go to all of that trouble of swapping a V8 into the car and then even more time, money and fabrication into turbocharging it, just doesnt seem to make sense to me when you could make pretty much the same HP numbers with whats already in there.

Yea i guess. Just seems like a colossal waste of time and money. Its not like a doner skyline is a cheap platform to start with. It is definitly different. Maybe theyâll chop up a Porsche 911 Turbo and throw an ls1 in that next time.

I thought about this a little since it didnât really make any sense other than to say âhey look at what we didâ. But consider what the car is being used for. If I wanted to drop some weight over the nose and still make shitloads of power, A LS1 wouldnât be a bad way to go about it. Iâm just assuming though. Iâd have to see the weights between the RB26 and the LS1, but I could have sworn Iâve heard the LS1 is actaully lighter. Then with the turbos being small, they were probably trying to keep the throttle response up on the engine rather than peak power. This way if the motor bogs in a turn (I canât see how, lets say the driver screws up) you can recover quickly. Youâd think a LS1 with increased displacement would do the same thing though, who knows.
