V10 SL C

SL-C with a V10 engine. Individual throttle bodies.

[@GeorgeGraves]

Really liking the sound of that motor over a lumpy lsx.

[@X_8p9]

This sound fits the car better than thr lsx

[@Crushin_Libs]

I own the E60 M5 and I’m impressed you are able to manage/control that engine with that aftermarket computer. 😂 I love mine but this is what it should have been in the entire time!

[@chrismanning1171]

In the future I hope to do one with an Audi V10.

[@bobberry5122]

Another amazing build. Fantastic work as always!

[@zakari3030]

thanks

[@9087125498172345]

Now this is a proper engine for the SLC. What an awesome build.

[@davearthur8656]

Love this particular motor installation....great job Superlight. Great re-engineering.😆😎👍👌✊✌✋👊

[@oscariracheta]

Sounds really nice. I like it

[@MidShipCivic]

Those screens over the ITB velocity stacks are actually pretty restrictive it'll need a proper airbox in my opinion.

[@JamesLStapleton]

That's very nice sounding engine. I'd take one.

[@EcuChris]

How was tuning those ITB's? I hear they can be a challenge to dial in just right. Very cool build! I one day want to build a car from the ground up and the sl-c looks like a fun and challenging journey!

[@hihi8977]

This is music to my ears

[@pluviamachina3583]

I know Superlite offers a "Turnkey-Minus" program where they build the entire car for you besides the transaxle & whatever engine you decide to put in it. What kind of third-parties do you recommend would be good for installing the engine & transaxle. Also, do you know of any SL-Cs that have been fitted with an Audi engine?

[@jamesaron1967]

Good questions. An Audi V10 would be very nice.

[@macman6107]

If I could I would definitely do this with the V10 BMW or Audi/Lamborghini. Purely for the sound.

[@rayologyxm]

Nice gated shifter!

[@tking8914]

i would like to get involved!! they look great. seems to be a lego with the different platforms you can use. looks like an adventure id like to venture into.

[@JamesHolmes1989]

How much effort/work required and what exactly had to be changed to accommodate that s85 engine ? You say you changed the frame and firewall ? How much extra does that add to a build ? How does it mount compared to an LS engine? I.e higher or lower ? Does it have the cats on the exhaust still ?

[@charliebognar5276]

love it!

[@hefnerld]

Curious as to how you sourced the engine, crate or rebuild? Thanks in advance...you do really great work, including your vids. Very helpful and informative!

[@MRdownrising]

Probably wreck

[@kiwihame]

Wicked. =) Looks like a money-no-object build... just look at that Gold-shielding.

[@muzikunit7148]

I want to buy one I already have a bmw v10 motor how much it will me for you to bill it if we talk and find out what I'll need and what it takes to build the car

[@rustypwnismo7384]

I need to hit the lottery!

[@martinputz3827]

eines der geilsten autos... leider kann man so etwas hier in österreich nicht zulassen.... :-(

[@thecurbdog123]

does anyone know if superlite is planning to update the slc? like cosmetically. i personally love the cars but it seems most co panies do a update or refresh every 5 to 10 years and the slc is starting to get older.

[@MidShipCivic]

Whats funny is these engines are pretty light.

[@TreeLBollingTreeMan]

WOW!

[@crossacoustics6814]

Considering ITB’s (LOVE EM) any drawbacks, restrictions, or lessons related to the ITB’s in the SL-C. Do they affect the clear cover over the engine over time? Any hindsight you can share is deeply appreciated

[@zakari3030]

On this engine they did fit under the rear window. ITB's have the usual draw backs. Tuning is harder and they have to be balanced correctly. Once those get dialed in they are great.

[@marxieuwu3573]

How much to get one of these built?

[@budweiser93]

It's a BMW. What's the Oil consumption MPG?

[@estebanrodz11]

A better motor and sound, now it's a Mclaren grade. SL-C at its best. i wonder if you can do a 4 rotary engine SL-C. its gonna a be bad ass poyect.

[@salimbinshagra6546]

it's my plan to swapping 20B with Twin turbo

[@nitronixus9402]

2jz SLC?

[@cdnbluesdriver]

Oooooo......Love it! Was this motor harder to fit than the Coyote?

[@zakari3030]

Yes, it is much bigger and required changes to the frame, roll cage and rear firewall. It was worth it though

[@cdnbluesdriver]

I and a bunch of other probably agree that it was worth it- thanks for sharing!

[@chrismanning1171]

Only thing I don't like about it is you will most likely have to remove the engine to work on the front of the engine. So before it goes in I will do the water pump, belts, and timing belt.

[@cupcakesansfrontier]

Hopefully you installed a removable rear cabin wall so he can do this. A lot of rear engine kit/tribute car builders do this if they plan things out properly.

[@larrynarine8406]

Who is the guy building these?

[@eriqm1]

awesome setup, loved the sound. hey what tranny did you used?

[@zakari3030]

Graziano

[@eriqm1]

@@zakari3030 hi Zakari, thanks for the input. I'd look into Delta standalone ECU, they are requiring exchange engine harness, would you be able to share where you managed to acquire yours? Do you have someone to recommend to have the engine and ECU setup? Again, thank you.

[@michaelcoffin4364]

@zakari3030 where are you getting your gold heat shield from?

[@zakari3030]

Jegs or Amazon

[@michaelcoffin4364]

zakari3030 What brand is it if you don't mind sharing.

[@zakari3030]

DEI

[@michaelcoffin4364]

zakari3030 awesome, thank you.

[@mogulmalc]

What gear box is used with that set up

[@zakari3030]

A Graziano, same trans-axle used in a Lamborghini or Audi R8.

[@No-limits-]

amazing jod is that 17 now

[@zakari3030]

Thanks, this is SL-C number 18.

[@tking8914]

how long does it take to build one of these??

[@zakari3030]

4-6 months depending on how customization is done.

[@tking8914]

zakari3030 what kind of money are we talking?? to build??

[@Oxxsteel]

how much do these go for?

[@wholesome4028]

sliqsquare start at around 75k and go up from there. im hoping to save up for one of these in the next few years

[@sgtcheesers2503]

I'm planning to build one of these in a year (don't let the profile pic fool you), and i plan to have you build it... i was wondering if I purchase a aventador v12 engine would it fit

[@zakari3030]

Unfortunately the aventador V12 would not fit, that engine is monstrous. Viper engine won't fit either, maybe in the GT-R.

[@DeiHarper9361]

zakari3030 Would any V12 fit? From a BMW or Mercedes?

[@zakari3030]

The V10 from the BMW was a tight fit and needed some frame changes so a bigger engine would require even more modifications. It's the engine height that makes an engine impossible to fit.

[@DeiHarper9361]

zakari3030 Oh okay, I don't mean to ask crazy questions. I know a lot about cars and at the same time, I don't know shit about them haha. Do you think you'll ever do a Moab build?

[@zakari3030]

I am hoping to, and I'd also like to build another GT-R, but I have been overwhelmed with SL-C builds.

[@julesdestin920]

why do you keep building sl-c cars??

[@MotoProductions]

jules destin cuz they sell fast and are extremely badass

[@rallyman1122]

Cause people keep paying him to build them.

[@1Oldskool63]

This engine does not sound as menacing as a V-8. It may have just as much power or more but it’s not attention getting

[@edgiestofcars]

1Oldskool63 sounds more menacing imo. Fits the supercar tones the SLC is going for

[@snail415]

The only thing to add to that is “holy dogshit”

[@No-limits-]

what is your email so I may be able to ask you some questions please

[@zakari3030]

[e-mail]

[@MrVb66]

Could someone please tell me how many ponies this engine has???

[@zakari3030]

540

[@sampied]

shit someone stole my idea

[@skarademirlidag]

Lsx is the best. Bmw engines are not reliable. By the way that car is the best car on earth
