I am doing a lsx swap in my 05 coupe. I am having trouble deciding on what swap kit I should order, Sikky, Hinson or Fueled Racing. I originally was going to go with sikky but I am using a 4l80e trans and the Sikky kit is made for the t56. I could still make this kit work, but I would like to hear from personal experiences on which kit is best, pros and cons for all three if possible. So if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is another ls swap goin on in here as well. But I'm subbed

 

interested to see what happens

 

I went with the full line from Sikky and had great results. The parts are top notch and the customer service has been great as well. That said, I did run into some issues and unforseen things during the process as a result of going with Sikky. The engine mounts are fantastic but the placement while completely doable presents spacial issues and creative thinking. My main gripe is the lack of room at the front of the engine. I upgraded my radiator and had to get crafty making room for it and the slim fans. The intake was a bit of a trial and error episode as well, but I made mine a 4" the whole way and kept the MAF. My only other real gripe was with the shifter do to the placement of the transmission. You will be locked into using Sikky's shifter assymbly. It is not a bad product! However, I did not know that when I started out and I like to have choices.I have heard that MY issues could have been avoided by using a Hinson kit but I had heard to many mixed stories on the companies customer service. Hope this helps! Just see the project through! It will get dark and you will spend WAY more than you thought, but it is worth it. And PS, it will take longer than you thought. I went into it with an awesome team and a decent sized budget thinking it could be done in a matter of weeks. It took almost 5 months.

 

i would not try hinson

 

How much HP are you pushing and did you snap your drive shaft? I am looking at the silky kit, but I'm not quite sure. Can't find a t56 that works with my build plans either..
