my 240sx ford 302 engine changes (lots of pics)

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

new et time .. maybe because msd ignition + launch control and better track.

ticket only give these data.KPH2 and 1320 ......

so here i go...+++++++++ MPH2 ++++13201st run--------97.25------- 14.582nd run-------97.11------- 14.273rd run -------95.92------- 13.914th run -------96.18------- 13.565th run -------95.89------- 14.00

so in the last run car spins a lot and loss traction so i dont need to run again! and then a strange sound came from distributor but engine its okay.

in the last 3 runs i set launch control to 3000rpms.

i need to switch to another cam to raise engine revs a little more.

i

efi megasquirt halted right now, i dont have enought money right now to buy fuel components so i will survive without efi some more months.

right now , mustang cam swap its done. its more loud and i can rev past 6000 without problems.

for stock s13 cluster, gas, temp and TACHOMETER its working very well with help of this myself made thing



it convert any signal from a v8 pulse to an L4 pulse compatible with our clusters.

no drag times right now because track it idles.

ruca its intalled too for better 60 ft.

i need to go back to 25.1" on the back tires because i im running right now 25.7"

- aem wideband installed. (one more thing to complete efi setup.)

- new carb 750 holley with more gas injection.

- rear camber and toe fine. (better traction)

im waiting($$) for testing on drag soon.

car feels more powerful on high revs so maybe better E.T or more final speed.

Updates? Ive thought about doing the 302 in my S13 now. Seems to fit really good and parts are cheap for it. Im more looking at a EFI 5.0 and do a turbo build.

Having a bit of a problem with my swap. Trying to find the engine to mount plate for the explorer mount but I'm having no luck. Anyone know where to find them.
