They are great motors, but they are rear sump and the 240sx is front sump.

It is. It is a transplant consideration for a 240sx, and this is still the 240sx forum.

Its not a really technical question so it shouldn't matter whether its posted in zeroforum/44 or if its in zeroforum/17.

Being too lazy to help someone is just as bad, if not worse than, being too lazy to search.

we also would have accepted "classic z" or "datsun" as an excellent place to look for L-series motor specs

also, im pretty sure that you would spend way more than would be practical to swap the motor and in the end could have paid for a decent ka turbo setup or an sr swap.

Fixed the retarded thread title and moved to the correct forum. Have a good day.

keep in mind those are stock low boost power levels, mine has 299 at the wheel (see sig) 400 whp is possible with the L28ET (thats the 280ZX Turbo motor) to get there you need Ijectors, larger turbo, managment system, I/C, and headstuds with a metal HG, at which point the stock cast pistons are really pushed to the limit and are due to melt at any time, there are a lot of 400 whp L28ET's runing around, my motor is a 183k mile junkyard motor loosing compression in #2, after a fresh bottom end I'm making a run for 400

and yes it would likely be cheaper to turbo the KA but I'm not familiar with it's limits but I'ms sure you'd end up buying all the same parts except the mototr is already in your car, I'm a fan a turbo'ing a stock configuration over a motor swap especially when that swap yeilds less displacment, If I had a 240SX I'd turbo the KA, Ive done simple and radical engine swaps and unless the stock power plant is a real dawg unable to support the desired power it's gonna be cheaper and easier to build on what you already have

For the non-intellectually challenged, a translation:Does anyone know how much HP the 280ZX turbo had? Are they decent motors to work with and swap into a 95 240SX?
