lets build a 240sx

[gotjdm001]

i build clean rides, and now i want to build a 240sx, i am getting out of hondas, but they are great cars, ive built lots of cars, so now i want to know what yr and model 240sx i need to go with and what motor you guys would like to see me put in it, i will be taking video and lots of pics, and one more thing, will a skyline front clint fit on a 240 or not, so heres my choices, 89-98 240, sr20(s15)(6speed), rb20, rb25, rb26, 2jz, hers a link to a crx i started and got tired of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7L5IS9gKkk

You should do a S13 SR20DET swap . I'm thinking about going that route with my 94 vert. Lots of pics and video would help me out a lot. That's just me being selfish, if I had the money and expertise I would spring for a RB20 or RB25 though.

soooo can you show us an example of a "clean ride" you've built? that CRX is hurt...

not being selfish, i did fit a 89 hatch, 600 but i do like the 95-96, i had a 98 sx se but sold it, to move to the beach, do miss the car though

[Papadirty]

Probably a stupid question, but, in theory, could you fit a RB26DETT under the hood of a 240SX. Has anyone tried or done this?

[gotjdm001]

i foung the rb26 ina couple on youtube, but with a top mount single

[badbob2121]

kouki with 2jz or rb26 ftw

[Papadirty]

New guy here, what kinda car does a 2jz come out of and what kinda motor is it / what kinda power does it make?

Trying to do lots of research before I buy a car this time, and a 240SX is looking nice.

[gotjdm001]

that is a twin turbo motor that comes out of the supras, they norally put or swap these engines into the sc 300's and 400's, but i have seen the in the 240sx's

[SX APPEAL]

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you're going to come in here with that kind of "you name it, I can do anything" attitude, then you better be prepared to do something pretty unique with you project. So as far as engines go, I'd forget about anything nissan, we've seen it all. SR, RB, CA, KA, all done to death, yes even Rb26's. VG- done, Nissan/Infinity V-8's -VH/VK, been done. 2JZ -unique but been done, GM LT1, LS1/2/3- done. So in order to raise any eyebrows around here, you're either going to have to do any of the above, only a LOT better and cleaner than most, or something truly unique, the latter of which I really can't come up with anything, other than maybe a Mazda rotory, although even this has been done. Maybe a 13G (3 rotor) or 13J (4 rotor)

alison aircraft engine.... 4bt Cummins...

Whats your end goals for the car?

[Papadirty]

Drop a viper V10 down into it. Someone around my local area dropped one into a dodge ram, best sounding truck ever.

[SX APPEAL]

Was it a Ram SRT-10?

Seriously OP, just build what you want to build. Not what a bunch of smartass know-it-all's (myself included) tell you to do

[Drakelee]

Just saying a 3rotor is called a 20b and the more popular 4rotor was the 26b, the 13j was built specifically as a Mazda race engine , I think a 20b with a big single turbo would be really unique and pretty sick, I started with rotary before I got into the 240 game.

[feoo]

for lack of a better term, shoehorn a w12 into it. instant legend.

[DamonDread]

Im with the rest lets see a Wankel in it!

[gotjdm001]

guys what i am looking for or asking about is what years are most wanted, lighter, easier to get parts for, color, as far as engine which can the most hp be gotten out of by adding bolt on's, i did find a 89, but i like the 92 front end, so can anyone give me some info on that?

[costa_rican13]

the s13's years 89-94 are the lightest, and you can buy the 89 and just look for the 91-94 front bumper and put it on the 89. or buy a 91-94 with it already on there. as far as which model is the lightest of the s13's is the coupe then i believe hatch then vert. dont quote me on that though. for engine choices as far as bolt ons you may want the ls1,rb26, or 2jz. but if your really wanting some power and have the money like your saying. why not get the bugatti 16.4 engine? thats something never done. lol. or i would like to that srt-10 viper engine as posted earlier. that would raise brows.

[gotjdm001]

thanks so much for that info, if thats the case i maybe getting a good deal on that 89 hatch for 600, i called and he told me it i have cash he will take 400, but stilling doing reading on the rb25det,
