Usually a fan of engine swaps....but this is just wrong.

 

well put, people just cant stand anything from the normal.. i wish i was rich, it would have been done already, by me..

who couldnt love 1200 reliable horsepower, and the ability to retain awd.. gee how many cars in that relm, lambo, skyline, sun auto nissan. why is it weird, sun auto put a v12 in a 350z, and made it awd.

the only thing wasted here is dumb comments. people really need to give props for originality. regardless of the car, engine, or its location.

 

the ls1 was found in many cars from gm c5 vette, trans am ws6, camaro ss and so on. it has aluminum block, 5.7l, v8 with about 327-345hp stock depending on the car u get. its a very popular choice engine swap among many enthusiasts like miata, 240sx, rx7, bmw, and here we have the evo and wrx which i thought would be the last cars on earth. i hope these ls engines dont find their ways to hondas. eeeeshhhh

 

sometimes more is less...

 

Thats awesome! LS1 swaps!!

 

waste of a great american V8

 

well this is why i support converting to E85...takes all the money out of the middle east... its just plain rediculous

 

As awesome as it could, would or might be...it is pretty ridiculous. I think putting LS1's in everything is cool but really just a big fad.

 

Yes there is, it's called Forced Induction and Technology.

This is both interesting and sad to see.

 

So ignorant

 

no not ignorant...tired of high gas prices and my money being spent on stupid ****...i was in the gulf for a year in dubaii and bahrain...im not ignorant...just tired of it

 

why.......... this is not right.....

 

Forced induction and technology is not a replacement for displacement. It's a crutch for a low displacement motor that does not have enough displacement to produce power and torque in a naturally aspirated form.

It's a fact that a higher displacement motor with forced induction has higher potential for top end power, because it will have the ability to spool a bigger turbo compared to a smaller engine. Add in some technology into the equation with big displacement and forced induction you will have even more power.

With more displacement you will have more power and torque all throughout the power band. Everybody should know and agree to that, unless you are stupid.

 

The statement is relevant only to displacement. Therefore my answer stands tried and true. The same arguement can be said for turbo-fan engines. They don't have much displacement but severely outpower any V8....what's your answer to that?

Forced induction IS a replacement for displacement. I no longer need 500 cubic inches to make 500 hp. So anyone who can't see that as truth must be retarded....

 

Yes that is very true, but a 4 banger is only limited to so much HP. Show me a 4 cylinder making 1500 hp like a Supra would or a American domestic. Eventually there is only so much you could put into a 4 cylinder.
