Xander Performance 2013 frs lsx swap

Hey guys. I have had this car for quite awhile and have gone through a few phases with the car. I bought the car and kept it relatively stock, engine wise as I already planned to ls swap it from the get go. Here is how the car looked after I installed air ride and wheels








I then decided to be the first one to swap the new 86 bumper on the 13' frs. Too bad I waited this long to post it. I used all oem parts and made appropriate harnesses for fogs and also made head lights 100% plug and play including the led bar utilizing factory plug.










I then was hit with the black plague with spinning a rod bearing at 62k.








So then you may ask, well now what do you do? Well for me, I think business like and I rebuild the engine so that I can sell it as a fresh running engine to add funds to the build.












Little bit of quality control here, but I got it fixed with a new set














Ready to go to a new home.



Here are some of the LS parts coming in.
-Built F-Body T56
-LS6 engine block and 243 Cylinder heads
-Wiseco pistons
-Scat rods
-ARP main studs
-ARP Head studs
-BTR Stage IV Cam
-Mantic twin disk clutch
-LS2 Throttle body
-LS2 intake for now
-Sikky Mounting solution
-Hooker Blackheart LS2 Exhaust manifolds











Alright lets see some pictures of the engine and trans installed in the car.

SIKKY steel driveshaft











Also went with a different Tilton clutch master to give me a little more room.








Wasn't a big fan of how the Stock intake manifold fit so I opted for a new one that fits perfect.





Also wasn't a fan of how the harness looked in the engine bay so I pulled the entire harness and ran it inside the cabin.















Prepping for my Emtron KV8 install






Also got me a shifter that fits the car




Mocking up some AC components.




I also moved the right front brake line that was on the firewall to in front of the engine to clean things up. Also have enough room for the hood latch bracket













Started working on a production level Radiator kit that we will be bringing to the market soon for you all.




As far as fueling goes for this. I will be making a lot of power in the end, so I went with the triple pump surge tank, ptfe lines, flex fuel, and all in a nice neat package.





1/2 aluminum sheet for mounting.

I'm having issues with it loading some of my pictures. Doesn't want to upload all of them so I may have to upload to facebook or something and then link them here. :/

Nice looks like your using the sikky swap kit. I have been wanting to see a swap with this kit. Interested to see engine, and transmission location compared to the other kits out. It looks like a good product produced by a good company with advanced tools to get it just about perfect.

Got some more pictures posted. Ran into some issues with trans tunnel issues. Had to shave some tabs off of the trans. Shifter spot seems pretty good. I'm going to see if I can get an MGW shifter located at the 6 oclock position. I also have another solution for the hydraulic side of things. More pictures to come!

So far this thread is awesome! Curious, are you keeping the Airlift setup on it?

Honestly I have sold the air ride setup and have gone with fortune auto coils.

That's what I was thinking but James at sikky told me that some of these trans have a thick boot that's part of the deal back there.

Interesting. Mine doesn't stick that far out and I am 95% sure I am still getting a vibration because if my driveshaft not fitting far enough on. Now it has me questioning if my trans really is bad
