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

[majiga]

is this just the m sport body kit? and does anyone have any more info on this car? such as more pics?

[urbanDriFteR]

I just bought a 1990 240 and wanted to do a sylvia front end mod to start off with.How much would that typically run me?

Correct spelling is Silvia. $600 give or take some with shipping.

looks like m sports. iirc, thats a signal auto car...

[DriftReadyS13]

what is iirc?

[DriftReadyS13]

if i remember correctly??

[adrianfromthecastle]

if I recall correctly

[DriftReadyS13]

eh, close enough

[JDM-Silvia]

What all out of a RHD S14 will fit into a RHD S13? Interior wise.

[redtop91]

The seats

[JDM-Silvia]

Thats it? I thought the dash would fit with some modification

[adrianfromthecastle]

Thats it? I thought the dash would fit with some modification

no... not at all... your gonna do a lot of trimming and what not.

The seats

also, steering wheel and shift knob (if you still have it)

[redtop91]

IIRC the only dash that is interchangeable is the S15 dash into the S14. Even then it looks like total crap.

[adrianfromthecastle]

Even then it looks like total crap.

but at least its JDM and RHD... that is all that counts

[JDM-Silvia]

^^ Lol, I thought other things fit.

i got a notch top sr20det. it has stock injectors. id like to kno what kind of new injectors i should get.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

are you looking for stock replacements or are you looking to upgrade the fuel system on the SR?

[Zee]

are you looking for stock replacements or are you looking to upgrade the fuel system on the SR?

Defiantly something you want to consider, but I like the Nismo 555cc Injectors.

[kimchee]

well im going to be upgrading the turbo soon. uh i read before i did that ima need boost controller fuel pump, fuel controllre, and some new injectors. i got everything else, just have no clue what injectors to look for.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Keep in mind if you get bigger injectors, you will need something to control them (SAFC or something). All of this will of course, cost more money than just regular stock replacements.

[kimchee]

hmmm well i have no clue wat an SAFC is, and i am plannin on getting bigger injectors.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

ok, well how much fuel the injectors put into your motor is based on a couple things. Fuel Pressure and Puls time being the big ones. The injector puls is controlled by your ECU. It has a limits based on the stock size of injectors that it came with from the factory (SR20DET case, 370cc). If you put bigger injectors in (555cc, 50% bigger than stock) you will be dumping 50% more fuel into your motor, give or take a little based on the ECU's ability to adjust puls. What an SAFC does, is essentially change the puls signal so that the fuel is corrected back to stock levels.FYI upgrading your fuel system like that will do absolutely nothing without supporting mods (you should have a reason to upgrade, bigger turbo, more boost, etc).

[kimchee]

ah i get it. so unless i get an SAFC, having bigger injectors will do nothing since the ECU is making it pump the same amount of fuel.

[Wuze]

Ok im very new with imports. But i am wanting a 240 sx so bad. I wanted to know what would be a great ingine swap for it? Is the sr20DET great? I heard it was awsome. I was planning on doing an s13 conversion to the 240sx i get.

get the car first. if theres nothing wrong with your engine, theres no need to swap it

[redtop91]

LOL. What is an S13 conversion?

[jtothed]

Hi, I just bought my 240, and the seller had his front license plate mounted to the windshield with suckers. I managed to get the bracket for it, but no bolts to mount the bracket to the bumper.

Local hardware stores don't carry the (i assume metric) bolts to mount it. I've tried 10-32, 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 thread bolts, they didn't work out.

The cops have already pulled me over once in the week since I bought it for the sole reason that my front license plate wasn't "properly displayed" - I have it temporarily held on with some 1/4-28 bolts with threads that don't mesh match at all.

Can anyone give me the thread size information for the bolts that hold a front license plate bracket onto the front bumper of a '92 240SX?

Thanks, JD.

Actually it is worse. The ECU is sending the same injector puls as before, so now you are dumping WAY TOO MUCH fuel in. Without the air to go with the fuel, you will be running incredibly rich, and can possibly wash out your cylinder walls and contaminate your oil, and if you keep running it like that (if it even runs at all) you could spin a bearing or throw a rod and all sorts of really really bad stuff. Don't put in bigger injectors unless you have some sort of method to control them.

[Zee]

Ok the basic concept of an engine is there is a air/fuel ratio that is designed for the particular engine you are using and it is best not to stray from that too much. Now if you upgrade the injectors that is a lot more fuel that is being dumped into the cylinder and because the ECU doesn't detect it, it doesn't compensate for the increased fuel with increased air. So you are going to end up throwing a rod most likely because of the fact that the ECU doesn't see anything wrong at all.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

The ECU actually will know your car is running rich as hell, because it will pick that up from the O2 Sensor(s). It just can't compensate enough to get the air fuel ratio back into spec. If bigass injectors are used without any means of controlling them this is what will happen (pretty much in order from bad to worst):1. your car may not run at all (too much fuel, not enough air)2. You WILL foul your plugs within seconds3. possibly mess up your EGR system4. high probabbility of O2 sensor contamination/fouling/failure (remember, it is not meant to work in these conditions)5. Possility of backfiring through the intake and the exhaust, carboning up both sides of your head and manifolds.6. As a result from all the carbon/fuel/other crap, you could destroy your catalytic converter.7. Getting too much gasoline in your oil, ruining its lubracting properties, and damaging anything that requires oil lubrication (bearings, piston rings, cams, etc), which could ultimately lead to you throwing a rod right out the side of the block and completely destroying your motor.

There are others that I have left out but eh... you get the point.
