The Official LS Swap Info/Questions Thread
#183
Made some headway today... For those doing the master cylinder swap on the T56, you will need a 1/8" punch to remove the roll pin on the trans slave cylinder. You can get the punches and roll pins at harbor freight for appx $5 each. DO NOT buy the arbor press, you don't need it and the punch won't fit... I now have a press
I spoke with Frank Smith from Hills and my ViPEC guy Franz today and both do NOT recommend keeping the VQ accessories. They said the LS will be easier to work with as is. Frank Smith suggested the Painless harness as an option as others have said.

Painless... I thought someone already posted about this:

I spoke to Franz Diebold today. He is my ViPEC guy and makes custom harnesses for race teams as well. I am going to ship him my spare cluster and he will see if he can find a method of driving the stepper motor in the tach that circumvents the Nissan can-bus system. This will take some time because he is moving over the next week or two.

Nice! Sucks they are 853 heads though... I have 853 and I wish I could get a set of ported 241's...

Heres some good news for you, 241's and 853's are the same ****. And actually the 853's are .67 cc more than the 241's. They have different casting processes, 853's are sand and 241's are mold or whatever. From the factory the 241's have a SLIGHT and i mean SLIGHT better flow but after porting they are identical. Buy 243's or 799's before you get ported 241's. Everyone knocks the 853's but the differences are so minute that its irrelevant to power. I'm trying to find the write up about them being tested side by side and the cad drawings being compared and all that jive. LQ9 head for next year maybe.

I believe the reason the 853's are not preferable is because there is less material in the internal passages so you can't port them as aggressively without breaking through. Other than that, stock for stock they are darn close as you mentioned.
