Colorado B.S. Thread

no, absolutely not. At least not so you would notice

 

Snow is starting to stick to the grass in Englewood!

 

Not that I want to see this but I hear Butters is starting a #wienersout movement...

 

Anyone here familiar with LS motors? Specifically swapping them into vehicles not meant for them?

 

TMI ryan tmi.

 

The drive to Ft. Collins was wet, no snow, just rain, than a little snow as I get close to the campus

 

What vehicle are you looking to swap to?

 

Possibly my 1st gen. Only detailed info I can find is in a 2wd. Not sure if there is room for the oil pan and differential.

With the talk above this doesn't belong here ...

 

Custom oil pan? Or remote oil can

 

Yes!

 

Easy to say haha.

I could just slap a SC on the old 4 banger and get roughly the same power as the 3.4 For about 3k

Or

Have the truck sit for who knows how long. Do a lot of custom fab work. Lots of trial and error, cursing, frustration and beer. All just to have over 300 ponies in a 1st gen for likely the same amount of cost as the SC. I'd likely be getting in over my head too. I think the biggest issues would be wiring and trying to get a manual trans to work.

 

You could turbo that 3rz to get in the 300s. Without a full build it should last a little while.

 

I know it's not chevy but would be complete motor with wiring and computer

Could but I'm not really looking for speed per say. Just some more power and maintain reliability. How does a turbo handle off road. To me it would seem kind of erratic having no boost and then boost making it hard to crawl smoothly over things. Maybe I'm wrong just assuming a SC would have a more even power curve.

Not sure how easily a hemi would fit. Going with a new crate motor drives up the cost considerably over a junkyard special. It does solve the wiring issue though.

 

Eff that. We'd have another 45acp build on our hands.

 

If you have a crawler box it can be helpful because it doesn't build power right away, though if you hammer the angry pedal everyone could be in for a show. Really, you wouldn't notice it that much with a correct tune. Most people build their turbo cars so they feel the "hit". Don't do that shit riceboy!
