Ultima GTR + Magnacharged LS2
Hi,
Just a brief intro..... Im building an Ultima GTR with a Magrnacharged LS2. The engine was put together for me by Jeff Schwartz of http://www.schwartzperformance.com/. I'm originally from OZ but have been living and working in Hong Kong, for just over 12 years and decided it was time to get back to the days of greasy, cut hands, hence the GTR. Most people build the GTR with SB engines and get around emissions testing, but in Hong Kong we have to pass EURO4 emissions testing, which is the same as the Calif. standards, so I was "forced" to use a modern engine. I've learnt a shedload about the LS in the process and am now stoked that I was "forced" to go this way.
Jeff put the LS2 together and dyno'd it for me.... check the numbers http://storage.msn.com/x1poX_nVzrJvr...hT9ClYQeZtJatc ...

Count on about $10k-$15k for the transaxle according to Jeff. Originally Posted by formula98

My transaxle was about 8K.... its a G50-01 (1987-89 model) with a new first gear and an LSD. Stock 1st gear was 3.818, and with 3.44 diff its unusable.... first is now 3.0. I did Power Tour with Jeff Schwartz in his car this year, he also has the 3.0 first and it was perfect.
Im hoping to be able to get the cash together and time my work so I can bring my GTR over for Power Tour next year, hopefully I can, and hopefully I can convince Jeff to bring his TT'd 6.6 litre beast too. I think driving a right hand drive GTR on your roads will really freak some people out.... two GTRs together, one TT'd 1000hp and one Magnacharged 600hp...... hang on, that doesnt sound fair does it.
Ever since he unveiled the TT engine for his car I keep having these crazy thoughts about twincharging mine......I know he only did the TT because he was jealous
(hope you're watching Jeff) and now Im jealous of his TT setup.....
The car should be on the road in January and I'll upload some good pics then.
