Default LS2 350z project begins...

And so it begins. Tomorrow ill be pulling the drivetrain out of my car to prepare for the swap. Ill be using a hinson swap kit with carbon driveshaft along with an 05 C6 LS2 engine. Ill be using a factory MN12 t-56 6 speed out of a GTO with a twin disc Mcleod clutch. Initial plans for the car are small(ish). I plan on a decent sized cam, some misc bolt ons, a FAST 92mm intake manifold, full 3" true dual exhaust and a 100 shot of nitrous. NA goals around around 430-440whp. Its going to be a long drawn out process as I wait for parts to arrive but I will update this page with pics and more info as it happens.

Not really sure. I will be selling my turbo setup to help offset the cost. I also have parts from my LS6 RX7, along with getting good deals over on LS1tech.

It really won't be very complicated when compared to what I had to do with the RX7

This is a cool project. I actually contemplated doing this to my G but decided to just go TT. I didnt feel like fabbing that much stuff. But definitely a cool project... good luck.

Hmm..well I was doing some research..and for the price of what the LS2/350z headers/Xpipe and a cam cost..I could do a custom single turbo setup for less than 1000$ more. So im going to burrow my friends 42r, see if I can get it to fit somewhere in the engine bay with the motor and if it can...alls I can say is the first ride should be pretty exciting..
