So what would rHMT do if they were given the option of purchasing a c5 convertible 6spd vette with blown motor?  Also what kind of software for tuning said cars?  I kinda just want to buy it, replace motor and profit, but kinda want a quick twin turbo or nitrous daily driver.

[bigdaddyvtec]

I know someone thats got an LS6 Swap for sale   :yes: 

Motor ecu and harness..... A tad above 2Gs he wants i do believe...

[ghettoturbo]

You left out the most important part....the price

[narfdanarf]

haha i should buy that for my 240....found a ls1 longblock for 1500.  If I get the car, I will have exhaust funds and any other mods/fixes are gonna have to be dirt cheap.

Prolly get it for $7kish...I'm going to go look at it tonight. I think decent condition verts sell for about 13-15k still?

[LS1pwNzJ00]

Have fun putting in a new engine.  You NEED a lift.  Its a fucking bitch.  I did a clutch on one and I will NEVER do it again.

[bigdaddyvtec]

Somewhere Johnny coolest guy ever is in a corner.. weeping, while he masturbates. 

[narfdanarf]

I am not really asking if I should buy it (because as long as the rest of the car looks decent I intend to) I am more asking what would you do to make it awesome/rHMT style.  IE am I better off to put a LSx motor in it or can I buy a shitty blown up 454 off craigslist and drop that in with a little work.  Or should I really piss everyone off and put a s2k motor in it...LOL

That would piss some people off for sure!! you could do it like those guys that put the 2jz in a 69 camaro...they really pissed some people off!! hahaha

The "cred" you'll get for being unique would not overcome the mockery you'd surely endure for replacing a big-displacement v8 with a little 4 banger.  It'd be good for lulz and that's about it...

C5s are pretty darn cheap-ish now.  I guess if you aren't worried about being raped by insurance/gas/maintenance then grab it.

[runsfromdacops]

2jz into the vett  :yes:

[bigdaddyvtec]

In this economy you can buy C5's for $9-10K.  You really want to foot the repair bill plus nightmare labor on a shoehorned in drivetrain to do a job that costs more than the price difference?

[Joseph Davis]

Wait, nevermind, you have a 840 and soon to be + whp moneypit, that probably sounds like a good idea to you.


Overpay for the goddamn thing, and then turn around and drop a 6.0 truck motor in it.  Slip a cam in it, big diameter long tubes, and tune = 500 whp on a Mustang dyno.

Joey, you know how stupid putting a iron block in a corvette is.  Contrary to what everyone thinks, corvettes handle damn good, maybe not s2k good, but still pretty damn good, an iron block would fuck it up bigtime. But yes, just drop a ls6 in it, some nice heads and a cam and make 500+ NA and then stick a 150 shot and make 700ish and call it a day.  By then, guaranteed, it'll smoke your civic on the street.

[colt45]

didnt johnny turbo his corvette?

Some how i doubt putting a 50-75 lb heavier engine in a corvette will "fuck shit up". but what do i know 

Plus one engine is $500-800 and the other is $2k plus 

[narfdanarf]

Well nevermind on that deal, just got back from checking it out.  Car looked like it was ran through a sandblaster/brillo pad car wash and then someone decided to put out 50 cigarette butts onto the seats.  Combine that with the fact it had no title and I went ahead and passed LOL.


Sidenote I got a 240sx for free, and now I need to figure out what to do with it...it also doesn't run.

[LS1pwNzJ00]

yea fuck no title, i passed on two FD'd cuz of that

VH45DE.  Do it.

[asx]

put whatever motor + turbo you can get for cheapest and sell that shit to a highschool drift star

[boosted wagon]

2JZ+TH400 

[bigdaddyvtec]

2jz in that car = fail

[LS1pwNzJ00]

It'd be blasphemy to put anything but a lsx in there.  Lsx are the best engines evar, evar.

[boosted wagon]

2jz in that car = fail

Why.It is proven a great combo.

[2slow]

2jzs are not cheap and the car wouldnt be worth what you had into it. Just because superstreet mag says its cool doesnt mean it is

[runsfromdacops]

2JZ+TH400 

+ ford 9", tubs and 275 m&h s

the 240 will be a savege street car

Youre JDM fanboi faggot side is showing. If that car gets ANYTHING else, it gets a stroked Truck block in it with a big. BIG hairdryer.... Fuck a 2JZ. GAY, like the AIDS growing in your fathers cum drenched anal canal.   TH400 Definately, but If youre going to try to spend a bunch of money unneccesarily, A 2JZ is a fucking piss poor faggot choice.
