ls swap.

i think it's one of the most compact v8's out there, if there's a lighter one someone let me know.

LS is trash. Voodoo is better

Plexiglass/lexan windows
Carbon body panels
Carbon suspension components
HRE lightweight racing wheels
Replace the seat frames with carbon fiber
Swap in a Hartley bolt 3.0L v8 with a turbo (
>>15806425)

For true lightweight you'd also strip the interior, air con, sound deadening etc.

Alternatively make it a go kart of sorts, exposed engine, no roof, no body panels

>>15806447
is it lighter though?

the point is to get the lightest v8, does anyone know what that would be?

I have to keep identical drivability, not identical practicality. Therefore, rear and passenger seat delete, remove the right side of the dash. Add insulation if needed.

All that heavy steel has to go, so instead use an all-carbon tub. Every single panel is carbon fibre too.

Ditch that archaic, heavy IRS, and put in a light sick axle. Sure, it adds unsprung weight, but reduces overall weight. Carbon fiber everything, from wings to A-arms to wheels.

Replace the wheels with 13" units. More rubber instead of steel means less weight.

Get rid of the 5.0. instead, make a custom 2.5 litre all-aluminium pushrod V8. Use Honda CX500-style 4v heads to keep it breathing up to 10000rpm.

Fuck the six speed, go with a Jerico 4spd dogbox instead.

Theoretically, the lightest production V8 I can think of would be Daimler's 2.5 Hemi if it weren't completely iron. Had they made that out of aluminium, it could probably turn out lighter than a Hartley.

You've had a fair bit of experience now trying to show them the light, but they just can't, or flat out refuse to see it. Do you think they can ever recover?

>>15806577
Why would it be? Neither of them could make 500hp on an n/a street tune. Therefore, both need boost to make 500 hp on the street. Sure, the Hartley will probably make more power, but it's not like the Daimler can't make 500. Forged internals do wonders, and Hemis simply love boost thanks to their high chamber volume.

Wow. So much wrong in so little words. 8250rpm isn't jaw dropping, and maximum RPM has nothing to do with boost nor direct injection. How you could correlate those is beyond me.

MY FUCKING SIDES

None of the current big there's V8's can produce jaw dropping RPM. The way the engines are used, they don't have to. The Voodoo having a flat plane crank and high redline was more marketing than engineering (although the engineering is mostly sounds, and the marketing was really, really effective).

How the fuck is a huge 4cam engine lighter than a pushrod LS. Are we seeing the extra material from the higher displaement in the crank, rod, and piston? You'd think the big bore would negate that.

Wow I was hoping for a nice thread and I come back and it's upset GM fangirls and yuropoors.

How can we get the yuropoors and GM fangirls to leave /o/ forever?

Here it is:

>Body panels all carbon fiber
>Full titanium exhaust
>Fixed door windows from plexiglass passenger side and all rear windows
>Remove unnecessary plastic bits from engine bay
>Remove interior sound deadening and some isolation
>Remove back seats
>All custom ''made to fit'' carbon seats, driver and passenger.
>suspension parts -> put titanium alternatives whenever you can, custom billeted.
>magnesium alloy wheels
>carbon brakes

We dont need a roll cage since the aim is not racing but to be light right?

This should shave off at least 400 kg.
My bet is car would sit around 1000+, lets say 1100 kg.

Completely strip the interior to the point that it only has half a dash, no air bags, nothing in the boot at all, a drivers seat and the essential controls all that remains. Completely remove the air-con, scrape off all the sound deadening.
Plexiglass side and rear windows, carbon fibre bonnet, boot, doors, front fenders.
Carbon fibre wheels, carbon ceramic brakes, carbon fibre driveshaft

Now it's front heavy as fuck, so we throw that useless coyota in the bin and swap in a spoon F20C with the S2K 6-speed. Small single plate clutch with a light flywheel, titanium headers going through a cat and dumping just after the front wheel.

Still too heavy, remove passenger mirror, carbon fibre drivers side mirror, go through entire car and replace every nut and bolt with titanium where applicable or high quality light steel where not, replace windshield with thinner one, remove passenger side wiper arm+motor, remove whichever headlight is in front of the intake and make a carbon ram air tunnel, replace radiator with lightest unit that can be gotten away with, replace half shafts with lighter ones (carbon if possible).
Cutting compound to bring clear coat down a layer or 2.

Not enough.
Carbon fibre door handles, cut into inner door metal, cut into boot floor and make it flat, install new smaller, lighter fuel tank, replace shocks+springs with lightest units that will suffice. Lighten engine as much as possible, remove wiring insulation where not needed, shave metal off block where not needed. Replace roof panel with carbon fibre, carefully weigh tyre options to find the best with the lightest weight.

Cut off fingers so you have 4 on each hand, remove 2 toes from each foot, complete laser hair removal over entire body, remove testicles and appendix.
