bruce, if he is tight on money the sr is tottaly out of the picture for him. I would suggest looking at http://www.car-parts.com. You can find anything for cheap on there. Goodluck.

I’m not doing anything else to my engine for a wile. I have spent enough money on parts as it is now. I did all the work but that’s good enough for me for now. It makes 150Hp to the wheels maybe a little more and the car is fast so this is were it will stay for a year or so. I’m going to do some supention work and rims before I do anymore to the motor.

The last mods I installed was 300z brakes and a LSD.

if you are looking for a cheap ka engine. i am getting rid of mine (95 ka auto), you can have engine and or tranny for 350.00. Runs fine. I'm swapping either a 98 ka 5spd or an sr. I will prolly go for the 98 5spd since it will be much cheaper, and I can always turbo it in the future.

Silviagirl79, how much would you want for the engine and the bell housing? cuz i have a 5speed and i just blew both a piston rod and head gasket about 3 weeks ago on my 240, i know i blew the head gasket because i foind oil in my raiiatio, and i know i brok a piston rod because it forced its way through the side of the block (not a pretty site) and to boot i just bought the car and replaced the altinator to get it working, then 2 weeks to the day and it dies, wtf? bottom line I MISS DRIVING MY S\13, and i want to upgrade to a dohc.

I can give you the engine block for 270.00, and you have to find a way to pick it up.

When would you need it? Cuz it's not out of the car yet...waiting for my swap engine.

On the car the maf sensor, and intake is missing (but you can use yours), also the distributor is damaged. but you only need the block right, you wouldnt need these parts.

Your car looks real nice. Just wondering what you run 1/4 mi., with your current mods?

Whats the mileage? Ever thought of going turbo?

Ok cool. Those are exactly the number I want for my car. I currently have a 95..but am getting a 98 5spd engine swapped into it. Right now all I'll have is intake and 2 1/4 inch exhaust.What do u think is the next mod to add on...best bang for the buck after intake/exhuast. I was thinking about pulleys. I can get a crank pulley for only 99.00. Should I go for it? Is it worth it? Help.

I use an ASP pully and Im very happy with it.

The first mod you should do is cams I use the motorsport cams because there brand new and do not need shims. those cams are what the KA should have cam with stock.

A stock 5 speed 240 will make about 125Hp and around 132torque. after all the mods im making around 158Hp and only 148 foot lbs or torque because I dont use a kat and that made my torque numbers lower and Hp higher.

the break down to the wheels2 1/4 borla muffler factord in with headerHotshot intake 3 inch 4Hpcams 9Hp to the wheelshotshot header 7Hp to the wheelspulley electric fan 4HpJWT ECU 8hp star spec clutch no Hp it just puts it all to the wheels

total 32 more Hp to the wheels cost 1300 bucks

I have a crappy dyno sheet that was done at irish mikes ill try to post it.

I thought the best hp per dollar value on the 240 was the asp pulley. Only took about 2 hours to put in, with the only hard part being getting the crank pulley off. But once i took it for a ride it definatly makes the car pull alot harder from 3000 up. Id like to get the nissan motorsports cams, but would they work good with nitrous? or would i be better off with stock cams? im running a direct port 100 shot. Thanks.

Motors sport cams will work better for anything. the stock 232 cams are very week and under power a ka motor.
