motor swap

[vroooom]

alright so basically i want to build a mopar eater so what better car than a 240 right?does anyone know if the 1JZ-GTE VVTi (supra) motor or the 2jz (twin turbo supra) motor would fit in a s13 or s15 without to many problems? i was also thinking about the 13BTT motor (rx7) but thats a stretch. if anyone knows anything please let me know.

also if anyone has a cheep s13 or s15 they are trying to sell with a decent body let me know. im looking at a couple right now but if the price is right you know how it is.

p.s. dont bombard me with bull**** if you have nothing to say about either subject... go to the top of your screen and press the back button

Welcome!

Well, there are a couple of 240's on the site that have have undergone or undergoing the swap you speak of.

But don't get to ahead of yourself if you don't have a chassis yet.

S13. . .S15. Whats wrong with the S14? You won't be finding a S15 anywhere really. . .they only made the car in Japan, so its very rare to see this vehicle.

Now, not saying you don't know, but in case of any confusion -

S13 chassis was in market from 1989 to 1994 in the States. 1995 to 1998 was the S14 chassis.

Now, I'm not too keen on the S13 chassis - I just know there is a couple bumpers everyone wants.

The two S14 body styles were as followed - or as best as I can describe.

S14 from 1995 to 1996 was considered the "Zenki". It has the headlights that could remind you of a late 90's early 00's model nissan maxima.

The S14 from 1997 to 1998 is considered the "kouki" body style. It has the "shark eye" or "angry" look. I find it more aggressive.

The S15 was the next body style and if I remember from my reading they stopped in 02? I don't pay them that much attention because I attempt not to get lost in my hopes. Because wants and gets are 2 different things.

Anywho - that chassis was only made in Japan.

Now. To topic. A mopar killer? The money you would be set back with the "dyno queen" toyota engine could put you more in budget doing a much easier swap.

Its EITHER KA-T, or SR20DET. KA stands for the stock engine that came in the U.S. model 240SX. SR is the Japanese engine.

The T at the end indicates "turbo". And there is PLENTY of information on this entire website, so please - don't ask which is better. Because that will only start another "KA-T vs SR20DET" thread. Which we begin to hate around here.

What horsepower are you looking for?

Just research man - I've explained as much as I can. But just know, having a 1J or 2J engine is only really there to be able to say, "Hey, I've got a "insert engine code" powering a 240!"

Good luck - and keep us updated.

Welcome to NiCO

OP, CRyan pretty much covered practically all the info you needed to get started on researching. ( Which was very nice of him to take the time to type all of that up for you )

here is the link to the search menu zerosearch the search button can also be found at the top left hand corner of your screen, near your back button .

If you have any more questions though i would say feel free to post them in THIS thread and not make a new one. Recycle hahahaha

Good Luck Man!

One Love,

y0 g0 t0 2jzswap.com there is alot of shops that does that swap. its pretty str8 foward like any other swap out there

13BTT is a mechanical joke in my opinion... Like an ipod... Rb's are sexy. What numbers are you wanting to achieve on the dyno?

[MastaYu]

welcome! You should definately try the hybrid section.

[simmode1]

We need more details. Are you talking a streetable 240 that can take down stock vipers or are you trying to go to war with all-out Mopar track cars? Cuz you can take down stock Vipers with 400hp SR's or KA-T's... Swapping in a hybrid motor may be more hard work than you really want or need.

Just offering options...

[vroooom]

thanks for all the input;

the reason im leaning towards a jz motor is because the bottom end can hold a lot of hp stock so i wont run into problems there... i also found them for pretty cheap for the engine trans and everything so it should be pretty good. i know the s15 is rare there is a guy that has one in my area they're so sexy ha.

im not lookin to make it anything crazy right now maybe later down the road. my goal for right now is to put it in the 12's and work from there.

im probably lookin to hit mid 400 to 500 hp on the dyno but that wouldnt be for a while still. my boy has a 4 door neon that he is makin into an srt-4 and my boy that had a srt ran a 13.4 i think i forget so basically i want to beat that and ill be happy.

ugh. you killed the momentum i had going for ya man.

You don't need a 240 having 500 hp. It doesn't have to have an insane amount of horsepower to make it go faster.

Supras=500 and they settle fine

240's= 300 and you'll do just fine.

[Ghast]

You don't need any horsepower to "Beat" an SRT-4.

Just stand by your car and you already won, if you know what i mean

well i didnt mean it like that... ive been a honda head for a long time but i ve been tryin to get out that game for a while ha and ive always been into drifting and what not so i looked into nissan and found that the 240 was a nice tuner car. so most of the things i know about imports is honda related but im gettin better... guess it still shows haha.

ghasty this could be my favorite thing that you have ever said on here

[S14toRPS13]

A basic SR with slicks should get you down to low 13's. My SR only puts out 270 whp with a super stiff @ss suspension and on 205's and I still managed a 13.495 @ 104.48 mph IIRC.

a couple questions im having trouble finding the answers to.... am i going to run into problems getting the straight 6 to fit without relocating my battery and what not? if i get some supra axles they should be able to handle without and problems or what kind of axles would you recommend?
