I have one laying in my basement, how would you mess up your crank? Thing seems indestructible and weighs like 40lbs

 

Oh yeah, I know. But I did not know a crate DE costs $10k.

 

Yeah talk to this guy, Brightleyz. He can hook you up.

 

With enough force you could put it in. It probably won't work, but it might fit.

 

OK, OP, like any family of engines, not just Nissan, there are always ways to fit a crank through machining, varied bearings, rods, journals, etc.

However, easiest way is to go "like for like".... e.g., '04 DE crank into an '04 DE block. BUT, attention to detail is high even in that situation. You need to make sure the journals are mic'd for wear and maybe machine matched between the block and "new" crank. Align boring is not out of the question, rod journals checked, etc. It's the same as ANY engine build/re-build.

What's damaged on existing crank anyways? Are we talking spun bearings (scratched/damaged journals) or cracked or....???

 

i tell my fiance' the same thing.......

 

4k shipped

Don’t! Don’t tempt me you SOB!

Trav why would you post that?!

 

Oh man.. Now you got ME thinking..

 

It's too late for you, bro. You're already ***** deep into that turbo build.

 

Screw it. I’d still buy an LS

Screw buying house lol

 

i was 455 to the wheels bone stock, new intake, long tube headers, heads and tune got me to 497.2.

(wonder if i went up any, changed part of exhaust and intake since then)

 

Then you'd be sleeping in your roadster..

Probably a couple hp, right.. Are you doing anything else to it power wise in the future, or are you happy with where it's at?

 

when it is no longer a dd i will do fast lsx intake, 102 mm throttle body, and cam.....then coilovers

 

497 to the pavement, eh?

My SL is putting down 498. Never mind it's pushing over 2 tons, whose counting anyways? Them power to weight ratios are overrated!

Put 'em up! Put 'em up!!

And mine were measured on the most accurate dyno out there. It's made by BUTT, Inc.














Disclaimer: I'm not serious, duh.

 

My race Honda makes 499 AWD hp. The locals call is Godzilla slayer.

 

Nice. That'll probably get you in the 540 - 550 range right?

 

got a better one for ya

Oh god I wish.

But that ones well out of any budget I’d have for an LS. That $4k motor leaves tons of room for all the bs little mounts and small parts needed for a swap.

I wonder why he’s sell so soon tho. Especially with all those mods.

A LS with that much work tho I’d rather just have the full vette chassis with it tho. I bet that car is a fkn beast.
