What's the point... you can't drift that....! lol it completely ruins the handling and weight distribution

[Nismo_Freak]

It's a full on drag car, it's purposely built.

The car has a complete solid axle rear end swap, and it's owned by a friend of mine (Robert) here in Tx. Him and Ryan have been working on that car for a while and it runs pretty good.

ughhhh i can't stand that ****.... ruins a nice japs car.

i mean why really why? who does that? american v8's do not belong in jap cars.

and i was watching the video's and it sounds annoying as hell.

UGGHHHH why **** up a japs car like that?

cause they can........thats why, the car was built for drag racing.(no wonder imports/domestics get along, then there's street races and car crashes that kill people)

i've seen the vid couple of times.....so badass to hear it:), i always keep a though of puttin a V8 in another S13 as a special drag project.(i'd still keep my 240 with the ka, would use another for the V8)

[dickie]

why not do it? he paid for the car and the engine, so its his decision to make. hes built it for straight-line driving, so he gets what he wants from it. i dont see any kind of a problem with swapping to a ford, the 240 body is probly lighter than a mustang and looks a lot better too imo. he will turn some heads and get some attention.

guys have been putting big block american engines into nissans for a long time now, most of the time you see 70's and 80's model 280s with 350's in them.

you can put a chevy ls-1 into a mazda rx-7 without throwing the balance off too much, ive seen it done. it adds about 90 pounds to the car vs. stock weight, which can easily be compensated for.

[naed240sx]

badass. That things sounds so mean. Now if you can only make it sound like an I4 again, and you will have the ultimate sleeper.

[DjPantsSpecR]

it doens't even need to, its downright terrifying

its absolutely impossible to deny how cool that car is.

Your hatch will never EVER run 10s for as cheap, or sound even half as badass, as that car. If it was a VK56DE you would be creaming yourself, but since its clearly an american motor, and i certainly dont wanna say anything as blatently ignorenant as a previous comment by someone else, but it kinda looks like a hemi, but thats besides the point

that car is what drag racing is all about. find the lightest car you can, stuff some big nasty motor that can barely keep itself alive at idle, and then burn as much fuel as you can for 1320 feet.

And second, certainly don't say anything about that, when your car is still in the 16s

[1991S13]

I would think that whoever built that would have to strengthen the crap out of the whole car to stand up to the torque...or can S13's handle it?

My uncle had a Tourino with some police issue Chrysler engine back in the day and after a few launches the frame was killed.

But yeah, don't try to say that car is anything but cool as hell. Who cares if the engine is domestic and the rest is foreign, there is no way you can hate that just because of that one reason.

There are 3 things I hope to get before I die - 2 aren't NICO appropriate, and the other is a SC VK45DE S13.

[s14 2510's]

a good non rusty 240 can handle 600-700hp without twisting. If you stich weld the seams who knows what it will take to twist the chassis. That is a 402 under his hood. Just think of how few vacume lines he has. I'm not going to bash his car. But it is total sac religious. 240's should stay jdm. rb26 swap all the way. I bet he is making 600hp for like 3-4 grand including the engine. V8 parts are cheap compared to rb parts. **** I spent 1600 just for my rods. That car could be way faster if he had got the right launch of the line. I could see him doing 9's. you cant go wrong for what he has put into it for $. cheap fun. thats just his drag car I bet he has one for drifting. jk

[tiger]

Oh **** yes, that car is bad assssss!!!! Anyone who thinks it's worthless can eat dirt. hehe. I love nissans and I like bad *** V8's so that is a nice combo right there. I love any 180 or 240 with any big horsepower engine in it.

[:: orion ::]

Nice...

No ones bishez about putting a KA into an old Corolla...yet that's a big-ole American motor stuffed into a little JDM car? :P

Anyway, big motor + light chassis = fast. Who cares what it's powered by.

[dickie]

is it a dodge engine? i cant see the vids at work so i guessed this is the 351 powered 240 i have seen before, but i guess im wrong?

i dont see how anyone can talk crap about the "abomination" of domestic cars ruining "jdm purity" or whatever. mitsubishi=dodge/chrysler=mercedes... mazda=ford=volvo, subaru and saab and gm share parts and stuff a lot these days, granted that its usually american companies borrowing from japs and euro cars instead of the other way around...

whatever gets the jorb done.

[1991S13]

I was thinking it was a Chevy because of the orange block, I could be wrong though.

I don't think thats the 406, I saw pictures of that one a couple months ago and it was white.

[deviousKA]

mercury villager minivan is a nissan, vg powered.80's chevy nova is a corolla, ae85newer ford rangers are mazdasford probes are mazdas

Goes on and on, who cares about jdm? 240sx isnt jdm neither is the KA. The best ka's are mexicos anyways, that throws a wrench in the whole philosophy eh.

Personally, If i was to go v8, I would just want a wheelie machine. Toyota starlet + ls1 or modular ford v8, something like that.

I think i did pull a wheelie with my 240 once, didnt really pull it from a start but i was accelerating and hit a bump, kind of held it for a while.

[s14 2510's]

The first vid he posted was of the car and I saw it like a month or two ago. The headers are what makes the car stick out. The vids are of the same car or so it looks. He sad the car had a 402 in it when he first posted the vid. Thats what Im going off. I have never seen a v8 powerd 240sx. but my rb26 powerd s14 is enouf to keep me in one place working on it. I dont have time to do much else. Work and work on my cars but whos life isnt like that.

[vvaffle]

Why is that? Never knew, could you explain. And yeah, that car is badass for drag racing. I wouldn't do it myself but I sure wouldn't mind driving it.

[robertwb70]

that is a small block chevy engine-which means in stock form it could be anywhere from 262 to 400 cubic inches...that ones obviously not stock which means it could be as big as 454 cubic inches (practically speaking the biggest small block you could make) but more than likely it's just a good ole 350-which could, the way it is in the video, make anywhere from 300 HP up to about 750 HP-that's the thing about SBCs you have to be real carefull about underestimating them

[USsil80]

is that a all motor run or is he spraying that girl

[TheOne]

is that a all motor run or is he spraying that girl

i dun believe he has laughin(toxic) gas in it, i remember seeing the start up video too.

[deviousKA]

Mexico cast KA24 blocks are heavier built, mainly in the cylinder walls. They also retain more dimensions carried over from the earlier Z series, crankshaft length, starter configuration, and main bearing arrangement. Available for these mexico blocks is a variety of high quality racing components, including (but not limited to) dry sump oil pans, high torque lightweight starters, and billet steel flywheels. 95% of ka24 used in actual sanctioned race use are mexicos.

[vvaffle]

Wow, never knew this. Sorry about the thread jack, but the more I read your posts, the more I want to have a nice NA KA (or hybrid). Do you by any chance work for someone that that builds race engines or do you just do this during your free time? Also, where did you get all the information regarding nissan engines. I am assuming many different places but if there is a large collection of the information somewhere I would love to know where it is.

[Nismochick240]

ughhhh i can't stand that ****.... ruins a nice japs car.

i mean why really why? who does that? american v8's do not belong in jap cars.

and i was watching the video's and it sounds annoying as hell.

UGGHHHH why **** up a japs car like that?

i agree-- i saw a 85 supra w/ a 350 in it-- didn't handle worth a crap-- all it did was spin all day so it had hp but the guy couldnt keep it on the road-- imports do no equal american muscle-- why do people do that?!? want a v8 in a light car?? use a ford festive or aspire lol not a jap car--

[All_Motor_KA]

An S-14 with an LS-6 would be god. The engine is all aluminum and the manifold is plastic so it's pretty lightweight for a v-8. Hell, prolly lighter then an RB with a big *** intercooler. Besides, I don't get the whole domestic vs. import thing anymore. In the old days I could understand, but now-a-days half of a mustang is built out of the USA, and over 90% of Toyota's are built here in America. Who cares about imports vs. domestic anymore? I say we just see who can make a car go really really fast while still getting 30 mpg .

There isnt a large single source of information, I have just gathered from reading and discussing with various nissan engine builders. I have also learned and verified from hands on experience, building l/z/ka since i was 13, so 7 years under the belt. Although, wasnt so interesting untill I got my first s13 and started working with the hybrids.

I learned a lot from the owner of the car that is in my signature, David Webber. He was the owner of Malvern-Racing, passed away a couple years ago.

[mmm240]

if the majority of us werent stubborn as hell there would be many more fast *** cars out therenot just one company can make the most badass car out there you need to gather info from other makers and people, a lot like we do here, it's called researchi too was a very stubborn fool at one time, has a lot to do with how you are raised i beleivei only liked gm because that is all i grew up around, but when you look outside the box there is a lot out therei have been slowly (very) modding up my cavalier for about 5 years, and it eventually hit me (took a while cause of my stubborness), but i was working on what could never be what i wanted, a fast, well handling vehicleyes it is AWESOME to be different, to have an do to something that not many people have, ie this 240 with a v8, but when i really thought about it it was a better route to start out with a car that was meant to be a performance vehicle, thus i very recently purchased my first 240 (a 93 5spd coupe) and i love it.and yes possible, (very hard to achieve) 10's are out of the 4cyl, 6cl leagueeasiest way to do it is stuff a large displacement motor into a small lightweight vehicleand we all know that japan makes lighter cars than the us and the us makes more powerful cars than japan, so why the hell not put em' together!!!!!!

ha me personally loves the soud of that car way more than these little 4 bangers running around.but i do have an integra as my daily drive. but what can i say gas is not that cheap
