Cblacks LS1 240sx swap moves under its own power!
I finally finished my swap over the past couple of days. I was an idiot and I did not replace the crank seal when I was putting the cam in, and I had to do it while it was in the car. I did a couple of other finishing touches on it and then I had a couple of the guys from the shop finish up my exhaust. I had an Apexi N1 system lying around from my old KA-T setup that I am utilizing with the LS1. They made me a pretty cool y setup. Overall, right now the car is running AWESOME. I need to tune it, maybe I will later today. I drove it to the gas station this morning on some incredibly salty roads in 4th gear full thottle, untuned, it was all over the place. And now there is snow everywhere...
[ninja edit]
I ended up getting on the dyno before I left work tuesday and tuned it with HP tuners. It made 390whp and 355 ftlbs of torque! I want some more power eventually, but I will probably be doing some sidepipes for an exhaust and running it on e85 in the summer. Maybe port the throttle body and put an under-drive pulley on it too! See below for dyno chart

That rat's nest of wires makes me cringe. Been there done that with my SE-R. Brings back bad memories.
The car looks great. Post up some vids of it idling and dyno pulling.

When you are a Tuner for the most well renknowned EVO shop in the industry, you can decide how to design your own exhaust.
Looks great Chris, me thinks you might need some more serious meats with all that TQ! That thing will be a joy to drive though

Chris you crazy bastard. You never stop wanting to do something different with that car.
Looks like it fits in there pretty well. I think a nice 150-200 shot would be a nice add on next summer.
