Not posted a build thread up here as not alot was happening, but now is the time!
Got this a month or 2 ago with the intention of running it for a little while then doing a complete overhaul inside and out.
Fitted a walbro, setup the greddy boost controller and enjoyed it, since then been buying bits, fitted dark headlights, test fitted the new bumper, and...
bought some of this
Done some of this
And now we're doing some of this
Engine should be out tomorrow
Cool, however please remove that awful kit

Got a new vertex kit and overfenders waiting to go on.
which v8 you going with?
A 6.0 ls2. All going well I should have it in 2 weeks to test fit.
Interesting. I'd absolutely love an s15 with a LS2 in it
1998 Nissan 200sx s14a , 2000 std 5 speed with nismo supercoppermix clutch bn6 Sapphire Blue
nice, should be a beast!!
Pretty much why I sold my evo to do this, always thought it'd be interesting!Interesting. I'd absolutely love an s15 with a LS2 in it
As far as I know theres no s15's with a v8 in the uk now. Hi octane have one in ireland, and japspeed took the nissan engine v8 out their s15 the other day. Anyone know of any?
v8s FTW
I'm not a big ford fan but the RS500 is a legend, you cannot take away from it its Icon status and to suggest that its a chavvy car is like saying Kirsten Scott Thomas is a council estate slapper
WINNING! I'm looking forward to another passenger ride once the V8 is in. Given how well you did with 4 cylinders......should be EPIC!!!!
why not the 5.2 Mercedes AMG V8 with super charger
Out of interest how much did you source the V8 for?
Cost, smaller physical size, ease of fitting, the fact you can buy a complete fitting kit for the LS2/Box off the shelf, aftermarket parts availablity, reliability and bolt a procharger on to the LS2 and you get 650bhp @ 8psiwhy not the 5.2 Mercedes AMG V8 with super charger
Your only running 8psiCost, smaller physical size, ease of fitting, the fact you can buy a complete fitting kit for the LS2/Box off the shelf, aftermarket parts availablity, reliability and bolt a procharger on to the LS2 and you get 650bhp @ 8psi. I thought you were running more than that.
Fit a different pulley for 20psi and see what she makes
Quite a loud bang I'd imagineYour only running 8psi

Nice looking project though, will look forward to reading more about it
Why didnt you do a V8 350Z?
Look forward to following this project mate.
hey mate this should be good! heard you were skidding well at crail so should be good with a v8!
I can Confirm you will be 2nd person in the UK with a V8 into the S15.
We still have the Twin turbo V8 S15 that Shane Lynch drives in the BDC, It has just been spanner checked ready for this weekends event at Silverstone on Sunday!
I'm guessing you have been mixed up with the Japspeed S15 that is driven by Shane O'sullivan over in the Prodrift championship in Ireland who has recently removed the engine and replaced it with an RB25det Neo engine found in R34 skyline.
Sorry to disappoint you. But good luck with your build. Its not as easy everyone says!!!
Get over to an event and come see us for some tips if it helps.
