Burton Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 have to dig through 2 hours of post in the electrical section, i don't dare start a new topic and get yelled at by burton or someone. What's that supposed to mean? That's what that forum is for, so why wouldn't you? I don't really know much about engine management wiring and such, just mostly audio, so I likely wouldn't even reply to it. I don't like to post on stuff unless I know I can be a help and not mislead people, since this is a little out of what I mess with, I would really have no input and let people who were 100% sure about the issues give you advice. heck, I didn't even know I yelled at people. Anyway, nice swap, and best of luck wrapping up all the little stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 thank you Burton.as for a small update, its pretty much done, need to get the registration part done, but just been saving money since its going to be 480 bucks, the prev owner never non-op'd it and yeah been 5 years. Its insured, that was easy. need to find a way to mount the front sway-bar, thinking of making it longer in the front.i hate the bouncy coil overs, looking for some 700- 800 springs. im sure the ones from artnist kit were only 400lb ?some tunning, and then log miles to make sure everything is good, maybe take a drive to see Thegremlin ( brian ) or scotty and all the guys around there. waiting on getting paid.

Dave-O Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I can't believe I didn't think of this thread until now, while discussing manual transmission options for an LS400 drift car some buddies and I are building. I may have to pick your brain for the adapter plate and clutch ideas. Hat's off to you for the swap. Sounds great, looks great, seems like it functions great as well.

yokomo Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 its on the road, going out driving later when its cooler.

dmyers151 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 2880, nice. What's removed from the car? How much fuel was in the tank? Do you happen to know the weight of the motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 stock interior, all the seats, carpet, controls, has a heater, and the ac condensor, its all factory inside. the 1UZ complete with w58 trans comes in at 394 lbs. i do have power steering. no A/C compressor car has 1/2 a tank in it pretty much bone stock, i mean it has new factory replacement parts ans such, but it has not had things removed for the sole purpose of being light. just want a stock car with a V-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Nice dude. That gives me hope to get to my target weight... maybe a little less. My engine/ trans weighs some where around 500-525... But I have nothing else in the car...lol Good stuff for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'm shooting for 2500 race weight... we'll see soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-O Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 You all are very inspiring concerning weight. Here I was thinking my car would be in the 3k+ realm, only to find that a V8-swapped SQ is just shy of 2900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thagremlin Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Wow that is a surprise. I was thinking upwards of 3000 also. I'm curious to know what my car weighs now since I don't have any interior,spare etc. How much does the stock motor weigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
