how so? The CRS Gear I have is near identical to a mates CAE gear

I was really referring to headers and their fitment.

 

ahh yeah gotcha.

What trips me out is that the CRS 1 7/8 4-1 are identical to the CAE. Only difference being that the crs merge collector is welded on.

My gear is all CRS. NO issues.

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

Yeah same.

After that quick list I gave earlier I start to remember what it kinda costs lol.

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

Told you it adds up. Allow 2-3k for misc bits and pieces.

Must have engine brake. Trans brake would be nice also.

Make sure the t400 has engine brake feature.

Gary didn’t you have to modify the xmember at all? Just drill?

Sweet. My engineer also suggested swapping to a VR-VS tank, he said they bolt straight in and have a larger capacity.

Nice. Then a 450 walbro will slot straight in.

Would you be interested in a modded ASR windage tray by any chance?

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

Yeah ls is dead head setup with internal regulator. That’s all you will need I believe. Assuming the walbro fits a VK tank.

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

I had the same issue with my o2’s. I lost a knuckle before I got the fucker out. Then I ended up stripping the thread and not being able to get a bung in LOL

They will be fine for your application.

That $700 loom won’t apply to you as you have FBW. Make sure the pedal comes with the engine and loom. You will need to get your loom modded.

For fuel. Use a drop in walbro 450 pump and then run one of these.

you also need to change to a front hump sump mate I installed a few mods to my sump for piece of mind.

If I wasn’t trying to make 800+ Hp I’d just be running Tri Y pacemakers. They are soo much easier to fit.

 

The new CRS mounts are like tuffmounts.

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

T400 ftw. That’s what I’ll be running.

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

will be significantly cheaper. But it is a 2nd hand engine as apposed to new. 

 

However 39k is fuck all work. So long as it checks out I’d imagine it would be a goer.

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

Yeah i no. But it would honestly take me months.

 

Working 6days lately. Plus a young kid. I don’t wanna be stuck in the garage. I’d just get frustrated and cut corners knowing that I don’t have a car and that I’m not spending time with my kid.

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

Oh I didn’t realise u need box and converter also. Allow 6-7k for that. Inc shifter etc

ls3 will be cheaper but not a hell of a lot. You won’t need stuff like water to air and he misc brackets etc but it will still get up there as you need most of the conversion gear etc too.

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

I was going to. But I simply don’t have the time or resources ATM. It’s just easier and quicker to pay so I can get the ball rolling.

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

Basic run down

lsa $12k

Wiring + ecu $2500

brackets + tensioners. $800

altenbator + bracket $250

conversion kit $2300ish

water to air setup $1000-1500

fuel system $500-600

misc little odds and ends, belts etc $500

exhaust $1500

Flex plate $500

sump + dipstick and oil pickup $250ish

semi decent diff to handle 600hp

I’d allow 18-20k for the engine conversion to be safe

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

You will be pushing the $20k budget with the LSA imo
