My god man… cleanest LS swapped Z I’ve ever seen…PERIOD! And whoever did that exhaust for you is a mad man. It looks as if it was meant to be built that way. And the exhaust sound…. Is just perfect. Great work man 🤙🏼

[@wade_debo]

Thank you ! That means a lot ! The exhaust worked out perfectly in my opinion as well ! I’m very happy with the car and how it works 👍

[@stansmith9639]

Not sure what I'm more jealous of...the super clean car or the super clean shop. Sick build man

[@wade_debo]

Thanks ! 👍🤛🤛

[@AnDrEw122100]

350z trans I can tell by the 3-4 shift , nice close ratio . Sounds awesome .

[@wade_debo]

Yes for sure ! I wish the first and second gears where a little longer. First gear is absolutely useless lol I start in second most of the time. Maybe I will change the rear end out to get the first gear to be more user friendly

[@AnDrEw122100]

@@wade_debo yeah cuz the 350z’s have a 1:1 5th instead of 4th like the t56 right ? So yeah with all that torque a tall rear end gear wouldn’t hurt .

[@AnDrEw122100]

@@wade_debo lol I just looked it up they have a 3.7 first gear and a 2:32 second , old school close ratio 4 speeds utilized a 2:32 first gear so maybe just start in second 🤣🤣🤣

[@wade_debo]

@@AnDrEw122100 lol yea until I figure something out. I thought about taking the auto rear end of a 350z for the gearing and building the diff to a true lock or some type of locker in it but even then going from 3.53 rear end that I have now to the auto 3.35 wouldn’t benefit me entirely to much, I’m trying to see if there is any full rear end swaps for this car like they have for the supra. It’s mostly the gearing in the trans that needs to be addressed but I love the CD009 trans.

[@dawsonbolger6792]

Hell yeah!! Sounds amazing 🤩

[@wade_debo]

Thanks buddy !

[@GreighThunda]

Saw it yesterday and now I'm mad happy I subbed :D Great production quality and fantastic presentation! You gonna go far man and I wanna be here before 500 and 1 million :D

[@wade_debo]

Thanks for the kind words ! Can’t say how much I love seeing comments like yours 🤛🤛 if that doesn’t motivate you then idk what does !

[@danielhaley9997]

That’s a sweet set up!!

[@wade_debo]

Thank you ! It’s a blast !

[@user-lc9de3to8k]

Sikky makes a rear sway bay , it’s green , with a double hump , so you don’t have-to thread it through the stock one , plus they have the front matching bar ,

[@wade_debo]

That’s good info ! I’m gonna grab one of those !

[@JohnWayne2122]

Good stuff man, just out of curiosity how hard is it to get the plugs out on that thing? Looks like it would be a real chore

[@wade_debo]

They look tight but honestly not bad to do ! Serviceability is actually great on the car I made it as simple as possible if I ever need to drop the engine or do maintenance on it !

[@815LSxSwaps]

Looks much better with the new valve cover and coils!

[@wade_debo]

Thanks ! I thought so to ! It’s the simple things 👍 hope to keep seeing videos of the Volvo !

[@815LSxSwaps]

@@wade_debo I'm working on a new one now actually!

Heading over to your Channel now 😎

[@NateM13]

Looks like a clean setup man I'm jealous lol! What trans are you running?

[@wade_debo]

Thanks ! Right now running the cd009 trans (stock trans)

[@user-wt1pe5bu5w]

Hi, Your car sounds amazing. What Cat are you using on your exhaust? Also, do you have resonators on the front part of your exhaust? Thanks for sharing. Beautiful car.

[@wade_debo]

Thanks ! Just resonators at the back !

[@JDW0]

Oh my lord this is perfection, can’t wait to built something like this. What do you think you spent all together on the swap?

[@wade_debo]

I have a video of the cost of the swap on the channel ! Should be a good idea for you. Thanks !

[@xRebel]

hey man! will you do a cost break down sometime? I really want to do this to my z this is so awesome... congrats!

[@wade_debo]

Absolutely that video will be out very soon ! Thanks for the support :)

[@AmericanFreedomPatriot]

Best Z / LSx swap ever done! great work.

[@wade_debo]

Thank you ! I really appreciate that, there is some good builds out there to compete with for sure

[@GreighThunda]

Man I just put a new motor in my G35 and I'm thinking about doing an LS swap now....I should plan for it in the future lol

[@wade_debo]

Do it up ! You won’t regret it I can promise you that !

[@glevii]

FYI, if you use the Holley Tall Valve covers because of a higher lift cam you will not get the coil packs to fit. Ask me how I know. I ended up using Proform LS Slant Edge covers. Even then, my installation looks pretty clunky.

[@wade_debo]

Yea I was able to use the stock height valve covers and they just clear with the cam shaft I used. Any larger of a lift and it woulda been really close.

[@1MADZ]

I would love to do this. But I just swapped in a new VQ . 😢 But if I can get a LS3 then I may.

[@wade_debo]

Yes I think it’s definitely worth it ! The ls3 is the best route if you don’t mind spending the money it’s well worth it

[@jamespanchenko9820]

Congrats on the swap, I’m planning to ls3 my 350z later this year do you have any tips?

[@wade_debo]

Thanks ! All I can say is use wiring specialties harness kit. The customer service is great and excellent quality

[@jamespanchenko9820]

What kind of ecu did you go with?

[@wade_debo]

It has the E38 Camaro ECU at the moment ! Might switch to holly later on

[@hakimrahman85]

I’m new to the channel here. Did you do anything to the suspension set up? Seems like you need to look into getting the correct spring rates and properly tuned shocks to accommodate to the massive power and also changes in the corner weight of the car after the build.

[@wade_debo]

Didn’t do anything to the suspension from previous setup. It may change a few things slightly but nothing crazy for a street car ! I bet If it was a professional race car that things would have to be changed but for a street car and occasionally ripping some corners it feels great !

[@hakimrahman85]

@@wade_debo i’d love to get all that traction down but you’re happy with it then good on you mate. Happy ripping! ✌🏽

[@wade_debo]

@@hakimrahman85 thanks ! Yea the reason it’s got next to no traction the tires are just about completely shot ! And they arnt the sticky tires I would prefer to have on it.

[@Bluecollar4lyfe]

What mufflers are those? Awesome build 👏

[@wade_debo]

Those are vibrants ultra quiet resonators used as a muffler. Here is the part number ! Vibrant 1142 3" Ultra Quiet Resonator

[@mondo9.2.5]

should check out mike mykes z he just put an lsa ported blower on his ls3 texas speed motor its cammed n sounds good

[@wade_debo]

Yea I have followed him for a while on KZbin now ! Pretty cool stuff he’s got going on !

[@brandonhernandez8238]

If you don’t mind me asking how much did the swap run you ? I’m planning on swapping my Z !

[@wade_debo]

I’m gonna do a build price video very soon ! Stay tuned :) thanks for the support! If you have any more questions you can always DM me on instagram 👍

[@g35zkyline]

Is the alternator mounted low? I’m doing this same swap but the harness needs specification for a low or high alternator Thanks in advanced

[@wade_debo]

Yea the alternator down low is great ! Keeps everything nice and low for a good clean look to. And it’s easy to change down low as well, looks clean in my opinion! I used all 06 ctsv front components for tensioners pulleys ect.

[@donovan4009]

What can are u using? Is it a stock ls3 camshaft or is it an aftermarket

[@wade_debo]

BTR stage 3 street cam.

[@KhepraPuHeru]

Im going to pay for a 5.3 swap/tremec 5 speed… into a z3 roadster. How many labor hours do you think it may take?

[@wade_debo]

Labor hours can very depending on the parts you use and how much modifications are needed ! But I would say 20 hours ok the light side I would say ? It’s hard to say i didn’t track my hours on the car I could be way out to lunch or close

[@tobytran833]

can you retain power steering and ac when doing this swap?

[@wade_debo]

Yea you can they have lines that go off the GM power steering pump to the Nissan rack.

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

I want to watch you change a spark plug.

[@wade_debo]

Already have ! It’s not as bad as people think it is !

[@dustinsamson4879]

Spray the oil fill cap black

[@wade_debo]

That’s a good idea ! I may get it powder coated a satin black thanks !
