It's plenty safe. Why wouldn't it be safe? It's a Toyota part btw. He's considering running NO BOOSTER... I think a small booster would be way better than no booster! lol Mind you, TONS of guys are running these on mid-size and full-size pickup trucks with VERY large VERY heavy wheels!

I guess I took this as a full safety conversation since you continued on from a safety standpoint comment and said a small booster is better than none... see where I got confused since the current topic was safety?

Look at it this way. Its an excellent way to build your calves... LOL

delete the power steering and you could have huge forearms too.

Bumpity any mope pics wanna see how your planning on fabbing the tunnel just cut mine out so really interested.

Have been too busy lately. Tunnel will be coming later after I make motor mounts and a crossmember and get the steering figured out.

I have 1 240sx motor mount here but I need another one or a matching set off something else.

Guys post pics of your rwd swaps too I like to see other peoples ideas

AWD turbo swap... fit's like a glove... LOL

Jon when's the capped front axles and welded center diff coming?

It looks Jappy though!

ha, no thank you... I'm just fine with it at stage 2 as my daily driver, I bought it for the AWD not to delete it... No need to go balls to the wall with it anyways.

I just put my batterys in the charger so ill try to post some of my pics later.

I've been gathering parts for this conversion. I probably wont get started for atleast the next 6 months. I do plan to use a RWD front crossmember from either a camero/firebird or the 240sx. So far I've gotten the S13 rear subframe ($150), just picked up some 300zx aluminum uprights with 5 lug hubs ($75), a mustang cobra hydroboost booster and master cylinder ($20), got the S14 front spindles with 5 lug hubs ($125). I'm thinking more inline with the 240sx front crossmember, but will have to modify the 3X00 oil pan for a front sump with that one to clear. I plan to do a remote mount for the hydro boost setup like those guys with the bimmers. After I get it rolling on its own power after the swap, plan is to ditch the V6 for a 4.8 LS1 single turbo with LS6 cam and the caddy racing lifters for a 500hp 8000rpm monster........lol

You might find this interesting. Its a Prelude with a LS1 swap. Did some wild fab work that might give you some ideas.

Great link! That's a real swap! I only read the first 2 pages. How is he using a cavi rack with flipped knuckles? Turn the wheel left and go right? I guess I'll read on tomorrow

Mounted rack, moved motor forward, started on first motor mount.
