I don't feel violated, I think it's just plain stupid. If you wanna Honda buy one if you wanna different motor in your 240 there are plenty of good nissan motors to swap into it. Keep it real.

because they're all close-minded fools. it's a neat swap that took a lot of ingenuity to complete. kudos to the guy who did it.

I gotta say I envy his ingenuity. Maybe that's what he had to work with and he made it work. Necessity is often times the father of invention.

I've had a weird swap dream once...or twice.

EJ25+S14=lowwww center of gravity? I'm sure some day, some boxer nut will make it happen.

Eh, as many have already said there are plenty of good Nissan swaps. You don't make good orange juice by adding in a kiwi.

USUALLY one would just make a cross over pipe (like the 2J schassis guys do)

Well, i'm not a real honda guy.

but i like stuff that is differant.

he did a GOOD honda motor, not the best but a good one.a friend has a H22 With a S372 turbo makes upwards of 650WHP in his 92 Civic... it's pretty nasty.

the way i see it. This guy was honda guy that wanted to "jump ship" to the nissan/drifting bandwagon like alot of people are. and he wanted to stick with a motor he was familiar with. so more power to him keeping his honda roots.

Nice try, but no.

The bottom line is that fanboys exist in all realms, niches, communities, etc. Why don't you see them attacking people that put aftermarket parts (suspension, aero, etc.) that is NOT branded by Nissan or Nismo? It's simple, really... they're blinded by ignorance and intolerance.

I'm glad that at least half the folks on this thread are level-headed.

why not just convert a last generation prelude in the same way. i think it would be sexy. it already has the lines of a RWD car. i have always felt if they were rwd i would own one

Oh noes! A Honda motor in a 240!

LOL omg seriously, calm down. Owning a Nissan isn't like entering a sort of religion, where modding the car with something from another manufacturer is blasphemy.

The dude put a good motor in a good chassis. Nothing wrong with that. If it's fast and it works, why hate on it? It's not like it's a B-series or a D-series. Work looks great and if it work wells, then there's no reason not to be open to it.

i would rather put a 4g63 in.. in fact I've seen it done.
Pics?

and if I was gonna dump for a torquey honda motor, would've at least gone for the k20. or maybe even a type r version, then he would have a S13-R and could have a legit type r emblem

i love the ingenuity that was involved in this.The main purpose is to make it work for what he want's.Like the guy from france said, if you don't have good luck with what you are using then try something that does work for you.I would love to see a new gen hemi swapped in a 240 instead of an ls1 as far as an unheard of swap.

i'd like to see other v8 swaps as well, but many won't fit a small block engine is the best bet

Who needs strut towers and a firewall.If there is a will, there is a way.My hemi jeep can go 0 to 60 in under 7sec.For a full size suv, that is pretty damn quick.Image that in a 240.

looks well thought out it looks pretty tight and i noticed they had to weld the h22 transmission bell housing bolt up front part to the front of the bell housing on the s2k's bellhousing the make the swqap work very smart , that is how the prelude should have came in the first place i think then it would have put honda the the drifting world long time ago

but even those are rwd. they must be smoking some really good stuff to think of this swap. I can see it now.....

Hey man, what can I do about my car(puff, puff)

I don't know, keep passing........ what's wrong with it (puff)

I blew up the motor drifting last week (puff)

Well, their putting sr20's in civics now..(puff,puff) gotta be some good honda motors sitting around

Honda(puff, puff) man this is some good weed, why would I put a honda motor in it?!

(puff) well, nobody is interested in those no more so they got to be giving the motors away...(puff, puff) just think of all the weed we can buy with the money you saved

hell yeah, why didn't I think of this before, Honda it is

240SX with the H22A yea its unique but its just idk doesn't seem right n VTEC lovers r probably creaming themselves over the thought i know guys with hondas and all they do is jack off to VTECs theres nothing really that big about it now the guys that i know that own nissans are more laid back idk y though thats y i really dnt like hondas that much i respect them but usually the people that own them for racing are complete a-holes

so i'm gonna say this thing makes no torque to drift at all. kinda reminds me of the f20c in the s13 made me so mad friend thought it was funny and said i guess he wanted something more reliable. Coming from a guy that owned a Chrysler conquest blew the dang thing up twice driving moderately. So i got him back when i found a sr20 in a conquest with the message guess he wanted something more reliable on his myspace. haha god he was mad for a little while but found it funny.

no reason to get mad. and i am positive a turbo h22 can make enough torque to drift. if people can drift with a stock ka (and weaker), you can drift with a turbo h22

y swap a h22 same torque as a ka maybe turbo but then again y not turbo the ka if your gonna spend that kind of money to build a motor the only way i see him justify the swap is that he was more comfortable with hondas. that also got me thinking what about a 4g63 bolted to a conquest tra nny (rwd) in a 240sx that would be weird

This is retarded. There arent any good fabrication skills here really at all. Just simple inovation. Good fabrication comes from places like MA Motorsports or Dent Sport Garage. Could of atleast made it worth the effort and did an f20c or k20. But no.

Seeing as how somehow it hurts to type after working out, i will not go all "voice my opinion with half a page" mode.

It is his car.

It looks, feels and drives just like he wants it too.

Not something you see everyday.

I personally think it is kinda cool, would really love some sound clips though. I would not mind getting to see it in person and maybe drive it as well.

I for one can respect the fact that time and thought went into this.

Art is resistance.

One Love,

Ghasty
