I would recommend installing your exhaust manifolds (headers) prior to fabricating the remainder of your engine mounts. It may save you a lot of rework. Just my two cents.
The accessory drive for front wheel drive Monte Carlo SS or Impala SS comes with the LS motor it is designed for a tight space if you're interested in finding a smaller accessory setup to work in a confined area
Electric water pump, electric PS pump (if any), electric AC compressor, then you only need to worry about the alternator. If he runs an LS1 style intake there would be enough height to run the alternator above the intake if needed.
@@MattPratt I think the lambo has electric power steering all on the rack so that's easy. He really just needs an alternator and water pump. You think this thing will have A/C.... Lol
Use an oil pan from a GTO, all holdens have a front hump and would solve a lot of issues you have with clearance. I have one here in Australia if you can’t find one
@@7rib3rg I'd venture that this is less critical than you'd think. 4x4 rigs see a lot more stress, and this is never much of a consideration. But still a fair point. I can't say for sure, but I'm fairly certain that those stock BRZ shock bushings are soft as hell in comparison to the poly mounts he used on the engine.
Those engine mounts will make the car's cabin shake like hell when it hits the 1000 horsepower (brushings are too small). Well, since confort is a non issue here, at least you should reinforce all the rear frame to handle all the power. Otherwise the engine will twist the rear of the car xD This build has everything to be amazing, so i'm looking forward for new updates ;)

I mean it wasn't stock, it was a twin turbo car. It could be faster than it was depending on how much power it was running before, if it was a higher hp tt car it could potentially be slower because of the manual, but it is still cool either way

@@1BigBen it's going to be fully built with different heads/cam/pistons specifically for turbos. Why start with a more expensive engine if you're going to replace all the good parts anyway? Iron block is stronger than aluminum anyway, and it's not much heavier.
You will need a dry sump oiling system just to get the engine lower and it will help get rid of the oil pan and obviously it will give you a lot more space and clearance and lower centre of gravity , good luck with the build
Chris you can solid mount your gearbox in the middle of the rear section you have removed to tie the back axel together. F1 MotoGP and Porsche all use the engine and gearbox as structural pieces, the new Aston Martin Valkeri uses its valve covers as strut braces
Yes they do, but that gearbox housing wasn't designed to be used as a structural piece, someone put put a video on the Valkyrie and how much R&D work went into the heads to be used structurally.
Overcoming the huge torsional stresses and harmonics when using an engine as a stressed meber is hardly a feat for a diy guy though. lol. Even without a mid eng support or motor mount plate the strength of this installation will be questionable lol

It was definitely a puzzle trying to fit the LS engine and Transaxle into the Lambo, but you figured it out as always! Great work on the fabrication, especially the mounts for the engine and transaxle! This car is coming along AAAAAmazing!!!
Don't forget Lamborghini runs their engines slightly off to one side. This may make putting the axles in a problem if you put yours dead center. I love this idea of a build !
Normally ads are annoying, but honestly I never considered something like a metal supermarket existing. That’s actually pretty cool and I’ll have to check them out.
Lingenfelter has made LS flat planes, so he could reach out to them? Theirs was a 358ci-Fi made over 1000hp @5k- max rpm was 9k!! Lol, But 180° headers would give that "exotic" sound, and I've persobally never seen 180's run with turbo's so that would be cool too.
Flat plane crank doesn't make it high revving. The limiting factor on revs with the ls engine is the stroke length. Actually the cross plane crank is more balanced.
This is going to be a great build. Ls4 accessory drive is the shortest they were front wheel drive. And the intakes point tword the back of the engine.
Need to fabricate a set of primary pipe turbo headers to keep the heat off those exposed saddle-mounted gas tanks and maybe also some custom heat shields as well. Avoid a flame job , maybe add a halon system looks like theres plenty of room. Radical build, good start.
Use the trans axel as a structural peice that ties the back together, then add additional bracing that goes over the top to tie both sides together as well
Stiffness is a good thing, flex = loss of power. You want the power to go into the wheels, not into the frame. You just got to make sure the frame is stiff too (usually it is with a roll cage installed), otherwise theres a chance to twist it...
@@HMan2828 I agree with the flex and stiff issue. But the most engine mounts are a bit softer to allow a little movement to compensate vibrations to reduce the stress to the frame. He has to improve the overall stiffness from the frame if he don't want to rip all apart at the first real power run.
@@sanjotorek8627 Well yeah I assume there will be reinforcement to the mounts before being final... Just add two more sections to each arm to make the mount a triangle, and weld wedges on the perpendicular on each arm to prevent them from bending (could also have used rectangular tube at a 45 degrees rotation for this, to present the most stress to a corner instead of a flat). Also a cross bar between the two mounts where it clears under the engine and above the trans also welded to the frame will strengthen the whole thing a lot and help distribute the stress around.
A custom air plenum is in your future!!! That shaft exiting the transaxle runs ancillaries A/C and Alternator... The rubber bushings on the shocks are baked in during manufacturing. It’s called vulcanization.... Keep rocking!!
Wow, you guys are amazing! Your audacity is only exceeded by your skill. And I LOVE the way you explain what you're gonna do then just get down and do it. Awesome! Addictive! Subscribed!
If you havent already, You need to have custom equal length headers made. If you are doing a single turbo you need equal length 8 into 1 headers. It will sound so nasty and unique.
In an effort for push the engine away from the firewall, I would have explored swapping the rear suspension from left to right... sure, you may have to relocate the rear wheel opening in the bodywork, but you are creating new bodywork from scratch anyway.
Make the transmission cover on the back red and expose it like the sesto elemento 😍😍😍😍

using steel baseplates for the engine mounts to your aluminum fram risks galvanic corrosion to the frame unless you isolate them from each other.

There is an isolating paint he can use as well - SSPC 25. I use it between stainless & carbon steel at work.

Also a cross bar between the two mounts where it clears under the engine and above the trans also welded to the frame will strengthen the whole thing a lot and help distribute the stress around.
A custom air plenum is in your future!!! That shaft exiting the transaxle runs ancillaries A/C and Alternator... The rubber bushings on the shocks are baked in during manufacturing. It’s called vulcanization....
Keep rocking!!

Wow, you guys are amazing! Your audacity is only exceeded by your skill. And I LOVE the way you explain what you're gonna do then just get down and do it. Awesome! Addictive! Subscribed!
Has two Lambos, uses a Harbor Freight angle grinder
Is my tool habit why I only have a vette or what :p
probably. a grinder is a grinder...
@@jl8853 You obviously are not a fabricator. There's a huge difference between my Metabos and cheap import grinders my man
Every episode brings more excitement to the build
You should try to get a plazmaman intake manifold! It would look bad ass on there !!!
If you havent already, You need to have custom equal length headers made. If you are doing a single turbo you need equal length 8 into 1 headers. It will sound so nasty and unique.
In an effort for push the engine away from the firewall, I would have explored swapping the rear suspension from left to right... sure, you may have to relocate the rear wheel opening in the bodywork, but you are creating new bodywork from scratch anyway.
I love stuff like this where you basically make ur own car.
Wasn't rhe v10 really the onky stand out thing in the hurican. Basically got a v8 audi now.
a boosted LS is 1000x cooler than any audi though
A completely custom super car almost created from scratch. That's the type of project that made me subscribe to bisfb in the first place.
