You might find your better off with a 255. So it helps with RPM over the line.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

I’d personally just go manual steering.

Good write up Renno. But his keen using 100series hose on the pressure side of a power steering system.

Be interested to see if the 100 series held up to the pressure, especially holding full lock in a drift.

 

exactly. Full noise. Full lock.

Imagine a hose let go.

Also what’s new engine expected to rpm too and what’s ur rear end ratio?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Would a set of intercepter rims not fit?

Adjust your original add mate. It’s gone haywire.

wow that’s shocking at least you stripped it now, are these built in oz or usa ..hey cava are the lsa’s like yours built in the same place yours is a crate motor as-well I assume

The lsx is a crate engine where as the LSA is a factory engine. So the build quality should be very different. I hope. Id also totally flush all the oil system, good call on that. I’d call up the supplier, you might of owned it 3 years but I’m sure you would be able to prove how long it’s actaully been running and how many km’s it’s done. Fair to say under 5000km?

So Cava do you know where both engines get built I just assumed same place [/quote

Factory engine will be Mexico somewhere. LSX is aftermarket so who knows.

Very ordinary to say the least. Does the engine not have a warrenty at all?

I’ve got some an adapters for the steam ports for sale.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

I believe 6L is a lot bigger and the 4L80 is marginally.

I think I saw a 6L80 in a vp without any mods tho. Can’t remeber where.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Everything engine and box related will be off the shelf bolt in.

The trans however will be another story. I believe they don’t fit the tunnel so to some extent the tunnel will need some mods.

Could pcv running via un filtered air intake played apart? Could of got some debree in the oil

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

it’s an expensive engine to learn on is what he meant.

If brenton does all the measuring, and pre checks etc. the final assembly is the easy part.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Lucky you caught it early. I seen the photos on FB. Generally tuning issues do hammer the main bearings. Esp like that.

Your in good hands.
