Here's an interesting perspective that I haven't seen before. I knew the steering rack was low in that car, but the second picture shows just how low... competing with the oil pan for lowest point on the engine cradle...

 

ls2.. D o n e D e a l...

Im looking ot get a cobra cradle for my build, but i cant seem to find anyone selling one..

 

LS1-FD on www.v8rx7forum.com knows someone who is building kits.

 

Sent him a message..He hasnt updated in a while. Hopefully everything went smooth.

Did you ever go into production with your front subframes?

 

Still waiting for the first three cradles.

 

one fits in the engine bay, the other doesnt. at all. should be a pretty easy choice.

 

that is not true. Mikey on this board has a 2jz FD with no steering issues....he is using a stock subframe I believe.

im not saying to do it, because as others have said 2jz parts are apparently made of gold, it will get expensive.

 

Let's see some pictures. Unless he moved the engine up and/or used a dry sump oil pan, the steering rack had to go down. If you move the steering rack down and don't compensate by using spacers at the tie rod ends to regain stock steering geometry, you will have bump steer. It's that simple.

 

VERY impressive Jim.

Hmmm... MKIV 6sd or a Turbo LSx 6spd w/ Cobra rearend FD... Im in a toss up.

 

he trimmed about a 6 inch square of the hood reinforcement to clear the timing belt. so I would assume that it sits higher than SP's did.

Again, I am 99% sure that he just made mounts for it to go onto the stock subframe

edit: let me dig around, I think i still have some pics.

 

My guess is that he'll have to trim more than that. Some people have had to trim the hood support bracing just to clear a 90mm throttle body, and the front of an LS1 is farther back in the engine bay than the 2JZ.

While leaving the rack in the stock position and cutting a hole in the hood is one solution, a lot of people aren't interested in destroying an aluminum hood or the lines of the car.

 

the tooting of the horns runs high here

 

Right behind diarrhea of the keyboard... have you ever posted anything worthwhile?

 

wow, your a dickhole everywhere huh?...still find you hilarious though and you make reading **** like this worth while...you remind me of a much older me...glad to see things wont be changing when I finally do grow up.

 

I know this thread is old but..
2jzswap.com what do you guys think of this ?
