LS3 ENGINE TRANSPLANT INTO B4 LEGACY

[kerryg]

Interested to know if anyone has done this? And how doable?

[wrx_lou]

Oh god why?

Try NASIOC pretty sure theres a v7 with LS2.

[kerryg]

Planning a transplant to closed deck, worked internals and worked cams, about to start next week. Problem is took my bros Holden R8 for a drive and he gets similar horses for normally aspirated.

I've got a mate who did it in a LH SS torana, its not a small job but anything can be done.

He used a megasquirt with pretty good sucess

You could probably get a custom bell housing made and keep it 4wd too.

If you want lots of low end torque and reasonable power in an NA, go for the EZ30R. Not the most common conversion, but at least you won't get every subaru owner on the planet turning their nose up at you. That and they've been known to make in the region of 500hp from 2500rpm once rebuilt for turbo use (conservative power figure, 700 and above have been done in rare occasions)

Want a V8? buy a holden/ford/yank muscle car. Lease it will have value and wont be a death trap to drive.

unless you want to die in your RWD V8 Subbie buy a car that is designed for that engine/drivetrain .

No the driver crashed and killed himself , any engine conversion like this is not necessarily unsafe. Its more about the driver than the car. You need to have respect for the animal your dealing with.

Just look at AC Cobras , I wouldnt call them unsafe but they are a big V8 in a small chassis designed for a much smaller powerplant.

look at that legacy in aussie. got that v12 twin td06 turbo in it. cant wait to see it driving

A conversion of this nature is what i term a "WOFTAM".

Buy an actual Holden.

My thoughts.

If you want a Holden buy a Holden... Don't try and turn a Legacy into a Commodore.

[94 Leone]

All I can say is bump steer.

[D-Style]

Why not do a RB26 conversion. It would be 4wd and front/rear balance would be pretty good......

[Joker]

rb are bigger motor than a v8...

edit added pic for reference

thats why

[94 Leone]

And RB is nissan, so it's not very cool.

but very heavy.

[Joker]

LOL and rotaries arent cool either?

[94 Leone]

No, I respect the rotary engine, tend to dislike mazda cars; due to design just being a bit ugly in my eyes, I just dislike nissans, have no problems with the cars, it's just the scene that seems to be following them around. that new culture of dipshittery that I don't particularly like.

QFT. The RB army seem to be a group of flat peakers that have complete disregard for the law, and the state of their cars.

Again, could be said for any group of motor orientated enthusiasts, but the RB seems to attract alot of dickheads.

RIP IT LIL JOHNNY!!

[wrx_lou]

SR's ftw!

[Joker]

SBC running Link G3 in shed next to me is good for a lazy 400hp

would if I could

[familyman]

There is currently a B4 running a Sr20 in Aussie drift series.

My theory is if SR will fit, 1UZ will fit but if you think it can remain AWD, you are either dreaming or loaded and prepared to spend the amount of coin on conversion that could've bought the R8 you went in.

You want cool, different, and others to beat the crap out of you?

Put an EJ into said Holden instead.
