I'm New Here And I have A Simple Question Thread, (No Flaming Allowed)

[slyedog240sx]

use 1 1/2 oz. per qt of oil which is 6 oz. or a little more than 1/3 of the bottle. if you drain it asap you won't benefit from it, just do your next change premature like 2000 or so unless you run syn. which use your own discretion then.

so when do I pour it in? Before, or after the oil change. And how long do I keep it in?

[slyedog240sx]

fresh oil will produce better results. Put in right in your oil filler cap. Then drive idk 1000 to 2000 miles on petroleum oil. before you drain the oil run the rest of the bottle through the booster line and after some dark clouds you'll have a carbon free car hopefully.

[redtop91]

I just did it last week. You first disconnect the brake booster and let it suck up 1/3 of the seafoam. Then you take it for a spirited drive until the smoke stops coming out (In your case preferably away from the cops LOL). The you come back and let the car idle for about 10 minutes and pour the next third into the valve cover and let the car run for about 10 minutes, THEN you change your oil. Next you fill up you tank and put the last third in the gas tank. You're done.

[slyedog240sx]

seafoam isn't a motor flush, it's an additive that is petroleuim based so it will not yield total results in the oil if it isn't clean.Do you put your dish soap in 2 day old dish water?

[redtop91]

What are you talking about? If you are trying argue over seafoam then make your own thread and I'll prove you wrong there. Otherwise

Hey whats up im a noobie but ive been looking around for a while My questions are all about the SR swap into a 90 SOHC.

I got a Redtop SR20DET i need to know what i have to do to keep my Power Steering and AC i looked but nothing gave me good enough information on it.Also im having trouble with the LSD,Axels and driveshaftThe VLSD has a 5bolt pattern what kinda axels can i use for that J30? 300Zx?

The Drive shaft is a Bolt on and i need to get one that slides on where can i get this from?

Ok so i did more searching and i think im going make a Bracket for the A/C but im still not sure how to keep PSand the whole LSD thing is still got me lost but still searching just running out of key words off the top of my head.Also one more thing if im going to run a stock setup other then few items here and there( Intercooler, Exhaust) would it even matter if i "Upgrade" my MAF?

[Bierbaumer]

hi.

i can't find any threads about the sr20de engine.the japanese N/A version of the s14.

that's why i'll ask my questions here.

1) how much Hp and torque does that engine have?

2) what do you think of it? good / bad / expirience what so ever...do you think it is a decent engine for the s14, or is it too... boring?

3) i can't find any tuning parts for that engine.3a) will the 2.4 l header fit on that engine?3b) how about cams?3c) will it need bigger injectors with the listet mods?3d) das an safc suffice for air / fuel tuning on that engine?

4) with above listet mods, what performance can be expected?

so, many questions...hope many answers follow soon ^^

thanks to those who care.

Welcome. Like beancooker says this thread is not a substitute for searching. The answer to this first question is the second post in this thread.

maybe 120-150 horses. gonna be a nightmare if youre gonna try to piece something together off of just the longblock. - srpowered240sx -

140 at the crank? - Mr1der -

Id say about the same as a ka24de. 100 at the wheel? - adrians_s13 -

136 or 138 iircnot enough, lets put it that way, and youre better off buying a det than trying to turbo the de - nismofly -

here is the answer. according to dyno tests that were performed on the B13 Se-R the SR20De has approximately 120whp. depending on sea level and humidity etc. which isnt bad considering the manufactured claimed HP is 140 to the crank. the engine has not changed much since is discontinuance in 2001. keep in mind in addition to the SR20DET there is also the non-US SR20VE which is one bad little 4 banger and i think at least 1 more version of the SR20. - VMPhil -

2) what do you think of it? good / bad / expirience what so ever...do you think it is a decent engine for the s14, or is it too... boring?

Unless you want to be different and do the swap, there is no reason to try it. It will be more difficult than an SR20DET swap and won't make anywhere near the power. But like I said if you are doing it to be different, more power to you.

3) i can't find any tuning parts for that engine.

You won't find any/much. Nissan motors don't have much N/A support.

3a) will the 2.4 l header fit on that engine?

No. The KA24DE exhaust is like this:

00 00

The SR20DE exhaust outlet is like this

0 0 0 0

3b) how about cams?

No but the SR20DET cams will.

3c) will it need bigger injectors with the listet mods?

Shouldn't. The 370's that come in the SR are good for close to 250 horses. You probably won't be making anywhere near that with the RWD DE.

3d) das an safc suffice for air / fuel tuning on that engine?

I really don't know that. Most people don't pursue major horsepower NA so I couldn't say with certainty

4) with above listet mods, what performance can be expected?

Sub 200. Probably around 180 whp with around 150 wtq. If you are intent on NA SR then this is the forum that you want to look into: zeroforum/169

[Bierbaumer]

wow. thanks man.

so in other words... get a det *lol*

i knew there was a reason for that sweet s14 new face beiing that cheap *g*

ok, will pass on that one.

but again, thanks a lot.and if you are new to a forum with that many different sub-forum's and huge number of almost identical threads... it's hard to find anything.

[triplesixrivals240]

I'd figure I'd ask this question here, since posting a new thread about it on the forum gets it deleted.

I'm going to be buying the Sportmax Staggered Rims, 18x8.5 and 18x9.5.

I need help in what tire sizes will fit properly. A friend suggested 265/35. Width isn't really too much of a concern, considering I can stay within the 215-265 range and be alright (I think). What does concern me, though, is the sidewall height. Will I be able to go higher than 35, possibly 40, 45?

[tigerpawkc]

Does anyone know what year they started putting dual front airbags into 240's? My parents wont let me get one unless it has them, but i really want a 91-94...help?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

sounds like its time for you to school your parents on safety. The 91-94 240 has a 5 star front crash rating. Your parents sound like the gullible hippies that think airbags are the end all to accident injury. In most cases, yes, they do help, but there is NO replacement for a good chassis and restraint system. Rally cars don't have airbags, and they get in serious crashes all the time and walk away. Tell them you'll buy a roll cage

Anyway, I beleive it was 95.

[tigerpawkc]

Thanks Papasmurf, and I had already told them about the safety rating, but i was recently in a wreck that totaled my 01 Maxima (he shoulda stopped at a stop sign) and the airbags both deployed, so they're pretty concerned with them right now. I'm really too in love with s13's for my own good, but I'll have to disappoint myself and get a s14 for their airbags I guess. Unless anyone has any other options?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Or you could just do what I did... buy the car without telling your parents haha. They came home from a 3 day weekend on Block Island whilst I was waxing my car haha.

[tigerpawkc]

haha!! How'd that go? Mine have the insurance money though :-( They're buying it, but I have to work at Best Buy all summer to afford to fix it up or mod it. I guess I'll just get a 95.

[triplesixrivals240]

EDIT: Nevermind.

well there's your problem. Until you buy all your stuff on your own, your parents have complete control over you. It's a choice you have to make. I made the choice to work my *** off and do whatever I want, and it payed off bigtime.

[nateb]

does anyone know any good magizines, websites or thread with some good info about the sr20det motor?? just looking to learn alittle before buying minethanks for the help!!

[PapaSmurf2k3]

zeroforum/138RWD SR. Read all the stickies and FAQ's on that page. If you still have questions, come back, or ask there.

[nateb]

thanks i looked through there, but are there any good nissan magazines i could subscribe to or a book or something to read. i just wanna sit down and read about how sr's work, how its set up and all that lovely technical stuff.

and a quick question:Does anyone know which shifter bushing is for the sr20det???please respond here: zer...53779

[majiga]

hey guys im new here too just like everyone else posting questions in this thread. I just bought a 240 the other day and im looking to rebuild the engine. it has 256,000 miles on it and it burns oil when you accelerate. i dont know much about 240's let alone cars in general. ive been trying to read and find out about them constantly. could some one be so kind to point me in the right direction for what to buy to rebuild the engine. if you could just make a little list of things you suggest it would be greatly appreciated. btw im not looking to spend tons of money. maybe keep the rebuild under a 1000 if that is possible? oh and can you tell me which brands you suggest.

If you could also tell me a cheap yet sufficient turbo and where i could find it. i am definately looking to turbo my sohc after the rebuild. thanks

Does anyone know the size of the o-rings on SOHC injectors?

It sounds like you need to talk to your local machine shop. You are going to require bearings and rings at the minimum. He will tell you if you need to bore it out or if you can keep stock bore. You will also need all new gaskets and head bolts. You might be better off looking for a factory motor if you can find one.

For turbo stuff, check out our KA-T section. It is what I beleive to be one of the best resources of intelligent people on the net. Also check out http://www.jgsturbo.com for your turbo needs. NICO is also sponsored by http://www.turbo240.com (I beleive). We had another one, but the name escapes me and they haven't posted in a long time.

[majiga]

cool thanks man.

Hi my name is John and I'm new to the forums and have a question. I found a 1996 240sx with only 72,000 miles and has a body kit on it but it is an automatic. They want $5000 for it. Do you think it is worth it.

[redtop91]

Hi John. Whether or not it is worth it will be dependent on two things. 1. The condition of the exterior and 2. how it runs. We'd need pics to determine number 1 and you'd have to ride in the car to determine 2.
