4G63 into 240sx

[90TSIAWD]

I was speaking of the RB26 swap as opposed to the 4G63 because although still pricey, it will be far more expensive than the RB26, simply because it has been done before.

Have you ever done any custom or non-kit work on a car? Putting a 4g into a 240 if one desired would be far cheaper than a RB26, let alone an AWD RB26 setup. As for the LS swap, the 4g would also be cheaper than that. Mounts A.) are not that hard to make and B.) don't cost much to make either, ever been at a 4 wheeling competition? Half the vehicles out there have homemade mounts that cost almost nothing and take all kinds of abuse.

It's easy to make a statement and not back it up with evidence. Full-Race is planning on offering their conversion for 10-14k. http://www.full-race.com/r14/s...g.php Give me some numbers to back up your statements. If you cannot find them, you are lying.

If you're referring to me, then it would still be way cheaper, the R14 package includes some very intensive modification. As for simply putting a RWD 4G setup into a 240, some mounts and a little cutting/welding here and there and you'd be done. I'm talking about doing it yourself, so I have no numbers, but if you had an angle grinder, a saws-all and a welder and the skills to use them you could make it work for virtually nothing aside from cost of motor ($1200 ish) and transmission ($not sure, but shouldn't be much). So considering that, no, I'm not lying

Riiiiiiiiiight. So I've yet to see any fact backing up your statements.

K smart ***...

Motor: $1400 - http://www.royaljapanesemotors...d=149

Transmission: $350 or less - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItemh ... se...age=8

So let's see here, that's $1750 and throw in a bit for scrap and misc... call it $2k and some elbow grease... you find an RB25/26 or LS swap for less.

Not that you have the skills required to do it anyways, but just to get you off my back considering you refuse to take my word for it even though I've been heavily involved with DSM's, guaranteed more so than yourself, for quite some time now.

[redtop91]

Ok now do it smarter ***. Full-Race has the method tried and tested and it is always 10k. When it is done for the prices given I'll concede otherwise you are wasting your breath. It's not like the 4G63 is worth that much effort into a 240 anyways.

[90TSIAWD]

Wow, good job being closed minded, unless you see something it can't possibly be true... are you really 99% empty space, clearly not cause you can't see it, are you really incapable of grasping concepts that are not readily seen. A 4G into a 240 is most definitely not a waste, same type of motor as a SR just stronger, is that a waste?

Yes. It is a waste. Get over the 4G63. It is good, not great. Definitely not worth putting into anything else that it doesn't come in. Go ahead. Cry about it. Redtop91 has spoken.

[90TSIAWD]

First off, you're not god, not even close and not of the car world either, although if you enjoy possessing one of the characteristics that turn people off to one another most then you go ahead and let me know how that works out for ya. I would say that the 4G and SR are and have been in competition for the greatest turbo 4 cylinder made, but maybe you've been talking to different people than I, so I would say the word great is applicable. Is a LS1/6/x worth putting in an FC or FD? Is a K20 worth putting in a lotus is the CTR motor worth putting in an Ariel Atom? Regardless of your response, the thread was about whether it was doable and the fact of the matter is, yes, it is and for a decent price as well and the benefits are definitely there.

Annnnd the care train departs.

That's a pretty heated response to a five year old thread.

LOL, yeah and all 9 of his posts here on NICO are from this one, very worthless thread. I say we vote to have this thread locked and send the DSM'r back to his own crank walking buddies to discuss this further

[redtop91]

LOL DSM'rs get so heated over the 4G63. My only point was that for the trouble it will cause you might as well step into the big leagues like LS or RB. Oh and the SR is by no means on the same level as the 4G63.

[daconkiftador]

exactly.. if someone wants to do it, than do it.. dont just BS about it.

It would be an interesting swap to see done, but its definently not worth arguing over.. plus the crazy swaps that ive seen completed like this one.. you never really hear about people weighing the pro's and con's.. its more like bam it is what it is, hate or love it.. but its already done.

yeah sadly enough, dsm's are highly over rated. although their head designs are usually quite top notch. I like the 4g63 alot, but not in my s-chassis.
