05GT Guru Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I understnad that not what you were saying. I agree there isnt anything to gain for the ls1 or the lgt. Unless he wants this to be for mostly straight line racing then the ls1 has more potential than the 2.5t. But if he wanted straight line racing he could have just got something with a ls engine in it but it wouldnt have the wow a subie with a ls engine.

Hokiebird Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Asking why someone put a chevy small block in any car isn't worth your time. Just know that the chevy small block is a big whore and will find it's way into just about any car it can. One day you are going to come home from a business trip and walk in on a sbc doing dirty unspeakable things to your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Its rare and that makes it cool but it is kinda a waste. Most people put ls1s in cars that stock are light and can handle crazy like a rx-7 or 240sx. But a legacy is out handled stock vs stock by the ls1 f-bdoys and it also weighs about the same. Your straight forward logic doesn't belong here! This is in the realm of Hayabusa powered Smart cars. (Can I stuff an LS1 into a Miata? or stick with a Ford 5.0?)

05GT Guru Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 A guy around where i live who has had alot of fast cars/bikes, put a 350 carbed engine in a sc2 saturn and made it RWD istead of FWD. I have seen alot of V8 swaps but thats the first time i ever saw one in a saturn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 People have been puttign bike engines in everything lately, golfcarts, go carts, shifter carts. There is a guy up north with a Gsxr750 converted into a off road trike. I would imagine its a bit scary goin through trails with 150+hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Pen Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 very cool project... RWD conversions are pretty sweet if you ask me... its actually quite easy if you were planning on keeping the stock motor and such... ive seen it done in subiesport recently... i just cant stand nasioc and the way its set up.. all the advertising and such drives me crazy on the topic of different strokes for different folks.... ive been trying to get my hands on an old turbo to make a turbine motor... maybe throw it in a shifter cart...and you can get that batmobile effect shooting flames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
