I'm sorry you're getting all butt hurt that I'm disagreeing with your decision, but I'm not full of shit and considering that you're having someone else do the work I'm sure I've built more high hp cars than you...lol... Jaden |

It's ok any time you want to compare builds or actually say something factual let me know, until then go read this thread where someone just posted about one of the many ls swapped cars in super street was it?

DIFFERENT not just as many...
Quote:
Adding 60 lbs of weight up front is different than adding 175 lbs just above and to the sides of the existing. In this very thread I believe they showed the weight distribution after a swap and the cars over all weight went from 2758 to 2919. so 161 lbs difference. Not a lot but that's 100 lbs more top heavy weight and while a front mounted turbo may change the front to rear bias, I think the up top weight bias change is more substantial in regards to cornering. If you're looking to drag, the front to rear is a little more substantial when trying to hook up... Again, what is your overall goal with this car??? Jaden |

You said you had the motor. You said that you were paying 21K for the swap??? so what are you paying for if you're doing it yourself??? Jaden |

It's obvious you are a muscle car enthusiast based on the cars you say that you own, that being said I have very little respect for your opinion on anything to do with handling and weight, because most muscle car enthusiasts think that their cars are the end all be all because they have a V8 and go fast in a straight line. I'm not necessarily saying that you are one of these however, anyone who denies that swapping a big v8 into a car with a small H4 will upset the handling obviously knows very little about the laws of physics... |

Again what makes you think after all those posts with bs that you have any experience I want to draw from?
You have ignored more facts and points just to fit your personal opinion, that's not someone I would ever want advice from. When you have a factual argument and can deal with any of the information posted with something other than personal opinion let me know, otherwise there is no need for me to discuss the goals of my latest vehicle with you, esp. Since most of it is already posted. As for your 60 vs 175 as pointed out that was a stock frs vs a swapped not a turbo frs so you might want to check those numbers again.

As for swaps being unreliable again you might want to think the motor being pulled is a turbo rotary being replaced with a v8 that's light and has a long history of reliability. The facts not your opinion show the results with just the one car I pointed out with all the information you need to see it for yourself but again ignorance prevents that.

Wrong. Do a little research. For me to add something wrong as well, would be a statistic. That statistic, in my opinion would be 70% to 85%. That 70~85 would be the percentage of LS swaps that when done right increase the value of said vehicle.
