Z06 C7 or boosted LSX 370z?

mastatikle · 10-20-2016, 10:31 AM

I was thinking about getting a new Z06 Vette next year but then just thought about putting a built ls in my Z. Not sure which I should do right now. A new Vette with all the new tech sounds dope. But a light Nissan with a v8 sounds sick too.

I have a SC custom air to air 370z and im thinking of selling and going Z06 C7 ha ha

a V8 in a 370 would be cool but way to much work

In theory it really isn't that much work. I looked into it last year. Apparently it's harder taking out the VQ than it is to put a Ls in it. It's just do I spend 80k on a stock car or throw another 20 in mine and have something unique?

Oh I never knew he posted here. I've been in contact with him a few times when he first started his build. Nice guy. He lives in state that's emissions friendly so the car won't have to do any crazy inspections. I'm in NY, whole different game.

Boosted lsx is not happening for 20k.

You're right, it'd probably be cheaper. Swap kit plus little **** shouldn't be more than 5k: I'm talking mounts, adapters and all the little **** that adds up.
Motor I already have and I'll use the strong 370 tranny. Figure 5k for for engine build nothing crazy. Just rods and Pistons and freshen up. No more than 2k for parts rest is labor. Another 5k for single turbo and intercooler set up. Would use a sub 1k BW. Then the other 5k would be for fuel and little stuff I forgot which would add up. I'd also be doing a lot of the labor myself which would save me a ton but. Realistically you can have a non boosted ls6 in your 370z for 10k easy

There's a reason people are able to do these swaps in their backyards all across the country. if I had the balls, I'd throw some $300 5.3 in there with a eBay turbo kit and drive the piss out of it but my luck isn't that good lol

I disagree. I have worked the numbers already. It's about 50% cheaper than a boosted VQ. If you pawn off all the work... yeah it will be more expensive.
