I know a guy that put an ls1 in his FC. Balanced/blueprinted, and really done right. That thing is absolutely SCARY fast. :Eyecrazy: I shamefully have entertained this idea for my 8 in the future. |
please search, numerous threads started on this topic, no need for a separate one
search for term= ls1* |
they are trying to tell me that sand or dirt or something got sucked through my filter and basicly sand blasted the inside of the motor which i dont believe having ever heard of such bullshit
|
tell them thats their problem for having such a crappy airfilter.
:P |
blah blah blah

Go here... https://www.rx8club.com/non-rotary-swaps-196/lsx-conversion-details-inside-118544/
if you've got the engine you're half way there. You'll be a hero to many if you help get this thing started. |
thats ridiculous though, there is no way sand or grit can get through an air filter. if it gets dirty, it just clogs up, and no air at all can get through.
|
Depends on the filter. Some aftermarket filters aren't good. There was a good filter comparo that showed how absolutely lousy the HKS and Blitz were. Soooo much garbage got through.
|
What kind of an intake system were you using?
|
I swear I saw someone on the site that had a 4.6 ford in their 8. Car was white IIRC
|
Here is a vid lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW8R9CP2pOo
|

|
Jeez! What can I say you found the op an 8 with a V8 three years after the question was asked. Your like Sherlock Holmes dude!

Hahaha I figure if these threads are gonna be lying around with no answer then someone should answer lol. So there it is it can be done and also just so you know on hinson supercars website it says they have built one and have been testing it out. Right now they are pricing parts and will be available soon.
I know you have stated a desire to "clean up the old posts on the forums" but this certainly doesn't help. |

my opinion is, if you want a V8, go buy a car with a V8 in the first place. as for hinson supercars, people knew that long time ago + there was so legal issues between that company and someone, about some stolen goods a while ago. Guess you didn't see that part ? |
Could have at least posted this thread. There are other threads with details like this as well. If you want to dig stuff up you could try focusing on current discussions.

Guess you didn't see that part ? Every shop has their fair share of problems. Maybe I haven't heard of the problem with Hinson. What did they do? |
