update? howd it go bro

they still ain’t finish it

@@biccog8634😂

That would be cool! Yeah that's a solid setup for sure.

Awesome! Thank you!

better late than never! lol. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Thank you!

YES, like it!

@William Schulte exactly what I was thinking. Plenty of power to have a lot of fun but not too much to be spinnin out all the time

@@SikkyTV Any idea if the T56 Magnum F would fit without an adapter?

Awesome, thank you!

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Will do!! Thanks Axel! Might be covering your build on KZfaq as well!

Thanks for watching!

Which transmission are you using?

thanks for watching!

Thanks! no it's not on our list currently. Probably would be decent though.

Thanks for watching!

DO IT!

Thanks!

T56 Magnum F is the way to go if it's in the budget. The TR6060 is a great trans but it's a bit tall as far as the housing is concerned and the way the shifter sit on it there is some tunnel clearancing that is needed so will require some cutting and a little extra work. The regular t56 and the magnum F are the most bolt in friendly of the options.

@@SikkyTV Awesome! I appreciate the reply. Magnum F it is. Can't wait to start this project.

hmmmmm, great suggestion for sure. didn't think about incorporating the donor car aspect. We are constantly tearing down donor cars here so would not be hard to do if we decided to go a route like that. Thanks for the ideas!

Right on!

Working on getting it wrapped up now.

@@SikkyTV Why it's taking so long, it's been a year and 1 month.

Yes, starting to see a trend with that suggestion. Budget build might be the way we go. At least initially ;)

Yeah that’s always a solid setup. Definitely a front runner!

Awesome! Good to hear, thanks

Yeah even if we don't end up going cd009 we might at least test fit while we are at it to show how that will work. Will see if we have time

LS376/525 is an awesome setup. Budget permitting I would go that route. Other options is fine too though.

hmmmm, twin turbo.......didn't consider that but maybe on stage 2 of the build up?

SIKKY very cool can’t wait to see the evaluation Of this build.

We have an aftermarket one piece driveshaft that will bolt up to the factory rear

You gonna need some hard cash for that. Is not only engine and transmission and call it a day. There is a shit ton of drivetrain replacement to handle that power.

Thanks!

dropping next video any day now!

If you mean use the stock FRS trans then no. Too weak of a transmission. Also, no adapter from LS to that stock trans. Doubt anyone would ever make either since it’s a very weak trans. Fortunately there are plenty of good options you can use. Why do you want to keep the stock one?

it's coming, we have been filming a lot but slow on the editing part....hang in there, releasing something soon!

@@SikkyTV If you need a video editor, I'd be glad to help! The content on my channel can be treated as a portfolio in this case

lol, thanks!

Yeah love the tr6060 trans but only issue is it does not fit that good in this car. It fits and works but you need to mod the tunnel top side a little for clearance. Plenty have been done this way just don't expect tr6060 to be bolt in. The trans is set at the theoretical perfect angle but you could space the trans cross member down a little to gain more clearance at the top of the trans but your getting away from ideal geometry as far as the driveshaft and U joints are concerned in relation to the rear end.

Best place for getting your questions answered is to send us an email to sales@sikky.com or call 410-780-0009

But to answer them here, GM ecu is used that matches whatever motor your using. Yes, stock gauge cluster can work.

hands down our typical go to, can't ever go wrong with that combo.

no

yeah we are contemplating the cheaper route at least for stage 1 of this build but not sure yet!

Yes, and yes

It's definitely possible, a lot of room off to the sides.

Yes, dropping very soon!

Yes, it can

Lmao! Well yeah!

@@SikkyTV TR6060 trans. Duh! :P Or adapt a CD09? Hmm. Double duh? lol

I’ve been reading about how to get the rpm higher as over here in the U.K. it’s all about smaller engines with higher rev ranges, a destroked LS7 to 6.2 winding up to 8500rpm seems like my goal though!

Yeah nothing like the sound of a high revving LS!

This setup is basically what I would have done to my car, but I still do not have a 100% concrete answer if doing this LS swap would pass Connecticut emissions. Unfortunately, this is the only thing holding me back.

Hmmm, yeah I’m sure we could do it but no idea on what that would cost. Email sales@sikky.com

yeah very tempting, might push the budget a bit though.......TBD

LSX is a bit heavy. Looking to keep weight in check

@@SikkyTV still 10 lbs lighter than a 2jz. would y'all swap an LSR into my FRS if I got one?

Yeah, couple ways to do it. To each his own I guess!

When you care about the interior and not to leave a mess and keep track of things, that’s how you do it. However, there is more than one way of tightening a bolt, some ways better than others when it comes down to overall goal.

Yeah all about the twin turbos!

gotta love the simple power of the ls3. On average we see them make low 400s at the wheels with just bolt ons.

SIKKY I just got my kit today. I’m shooting for 500whp and 500tq. Built Ls3 and trans

I just bought a TR6060, would rather not have to deal with bellhousing kits etc. Thanks for the info anyway, greatly appreciate it

Out of the trans you listed the t56 would fit better in this car. The TR6060 is a better trans though. You can have the best of both worlds and go t56 magnum F but that obviously costs a bit more. Bulletproof trans though.

Does the tunnel need more massaging with the TR6060 or is it just tight to get access around it?

Lol, yeah works pretty good!

It's done! Just not uploaded yet. Will be a steady stream of FRS Swap build videos coming very soon. Thanks for the patience!

@@SikkyTV good to hear! Still super keen to watch. I hope to do this build one day, but even if I don't I still enjoy watching your build videos!

amen

DAMN, I like how you think. that would be amazing!

That's gonna get expensive lol 🔥🙏🏼

LS9 nah go GenV LT5 755HP Crate Motor. I know your kits are all for LS motors. But hey I can dream.

coming soon!

Can't go wrong with that combo!

Gal Dang! that would be amazing but those things are super expensive! $$$$

I kno. I jus want to see a nascar engine in something hahaha

It takes time. Specially for a shop business, I hope in the future james dedicates a business to KZfaq so he can showcase more builds etc.

Zing!

Yeah I like the idea of the more budget minded build. 4l80 will likely be a tight fit in that tunnel though. We never tested a 4l80 just a 6l80 and 4l60.
