I would also like to know as someone said if youre running A\C in the car and im sure youre running power sterring. BOth of these systems would just consist of using the chevy compressor and pump but then make lines that tie into the nissan system. Just would like more info on everything. Ive been looking on Hinson's site and am super excited they have pretty much everything to make it work. Hopefully i will be doing this in my Z this winter. Its the plan at least. Love your car man..

 

I am on the OTHER side of PA. DOH!!!

 

I think he'll do well getting the LS3. The guys on Corvette forum have been getting ridiculous numbers lately. Cam-only+boltons cars are doing 460-490rwhp. That's insane.

 

if u don't jump on this like on a naked Jessica Alba saying "(insert fantasy here)", u are officially car gay

 

Well it isn't like NJ where you can drive across the state in 20 mins...

 

The package I was looking at was 480hp for $6500 + tax from Chevy

 

I suppose thats after you buy the engine you're swapping in?

 

Like pitsburgh? They have an airoport there right

LS3 is great...but people forget all of the extra parts this needs to run outside of just a crate motor.

The random parts needed to make it a flawless swap will add up, and add up fast. It for that reason i recommend a motorset that comes with everything. Just IMO.

A/C is done and power steering is done. Once again this is proprietary info that Brian Hinson spent wekks working on. I will say that when Hinson did my swap, everything looks OEM and works perfectly.

 

we need to do a VA, DC, MD, PA, NJ, NY meet in the middle on a fall weekend?

Im down...

 

Use your cell phone video camera.

 

good lord that is sick

 

Thanks for turning us all on to this! After getting off the phone with Hinson I think my plans for a TT VQ35 just got too bad their booked up until January!

 

Any updates? Dyno/track?

 

Got an estimate today. Wow, not really as expensive as you'd think. Whats a full build up go for nowadays for FI? 20k? This is a much cheaper and safer NA alternative.

 

What was the estimate then?

 

How much does the car weigh now?

 

we should do a meet somewhere. just picked up my new Z. but damn that car sounds bad ***.... almost makes me want to go get a 05 or something thats not new and do a swap a big v-8 in it. I'd prolly be able to afford it, but not for my reasons of buying the new Z (HR). def. one for the record books, congrats and looking forward to seeing hopw it all goes. that car will F'n haul.

 

I'd love to see them pull Noah over in Cali and try to figure out how to write the REF ticket on THAT car!!!

 

Lookie what I found...
