I think that if you are putting an LS1 in a WRX you are bad ass, but that sounds VERY difficult if it's gonna stay AWD...

But if you can do it, more power to you!

no its being converted to RWD, straight axle......

**OneSlowLS1Vert** · 02-02-2006, 08:35 AM

Still sounds cool... Just not as cool

**rwd_boostdscoobLS1** · 02-02-2006, 04:22 PM

AWD is gay... trannies are too weak... plus, no burnouts....hahaha

This I have to see.

I had an RX7, and the conversion was pretty stright forward, although I could never bring myself to doing it.

**ss~zoso~ss** · 03-02-2006, 02:51 PM

TURBO? i saw that turbo in there dont try to hide it, that is gonna be a sick mother fukin car man, hope you are tubbing it out and putting some 315's on there

you'll blow up stock tires in a nano-second

**rwd_boostdscoobLS1** · 03-03-2006, 12:58 PM

yeah its gettin some uber stickies on it.. the back half will be tube chassis.. 4 link... and tubbed...
its got a while to go.. yes it will most likely be turboed

**oneBADDz** · 03-03-2006, 01:12 PM

Ohhhh man I saw the manifolds facing the front too and was thinkin man this guy is an idiot or. . . .or. . . .

I saw it in the pics man, I saw it!!!! Don't leave us hangin, update us three times a day, with video, lol. Good luck with all of that, it's gonna be a friggin sweet project. How much should it weight when it's all said and done? How much boost are you planning on running? Details. . .

The line between crazy and genious has just been thoroughly OBLITERATED. That rocks.

due to money constraints right now, all i can do is plasma cut stuff out right now.. got a little while before i save enough for all the goodies...
heres a short list: Aeromotive fuel system, 8gallon fuel cell, fully built 8.8 rear end with disc brakes, stage 4 t-56 sponsored and built by joe at www.t56rebuilds.com, mcleod clutch and flywheel kit, meziere water pump, trex cam, cheapest possible aftermarket rods and pistons(im building on a budget for now, so that once i know its up and running good, i can get the good stuff thrown in.. this motor is pretty much just for trial and error) probably just nitrous to start with, to reach my hp goal.. then hopefully in come the sponsorships.. lol... as for turbos, yes i noticed that the manifolds flip and all youd need is a y pipe to turbo then a downpipe.. im working on building a kit that will make turboing cheap..
