well, the transmission alone is going to cost a ****load. getting a turbo and gettin your car up to 500 rwhp is also going to take alllot of work. im guessing you're gonna be spending at least 5 gs.

i think you can do a 5-speed swap for about a grand.

then u are going to spend a lot on a really nice and big turbo with upgraded fuel system, internals and the whole shabang.

If you want a 500hp car for less than 7,000, you're dreaming. MAYBE you could piss-tune a motor for 500 CRANK hp, but then it would probably die on you the minute you put it under load.

Assuming you CAN get a motor to turn 500hp reliably on that budget, you still have the crappy stock brakes, no suspension work, probably balding stock rubber and either a soon-to-die auto transmission or a recently resurrected 5-speed. That's pretty far away from what I'd call a 500hp CAR.

i dont understand you. with 15,000 you can obviously get up to 500 hp, but why would you just spend 15 grand at once to get 500 hp?

Shayan, stop selling drugs. The money isn't worth it.

With 15,000 you could get an RB26DETT NEO full swap and have plenty left over for suspension, tires, wheels, and maybe even a little green tree to make your S14 smell nice...

Translation Hi. I don't know if this is the right forum or not, but here goes. I am Shayan. I just got a '95 Nissan 240sx. It's an auto with the KA engine. I want to know how to swap in a five or six speed manual transmission and how much it is going to cost me to add a turbo. I am trying to get 500+rwhp or so on it. Help me out with full info if you can, please.
shayan wrote:ya you cant do a 6sp manul i mean you can but you have to get lot of **** done and that just to much money so i am looking at 7.000 total right or something like that
Translation No, you can't do a six-speed manual (swap?). I mean, you can, but you have to get a lot of stuff done and that's just too much money. I am looking at $7000 total, or something like that.
shayan wrote:not 500 but 836 yes i cant find the transmission wow
Translation Not 500rwhp, but 836, yes. I am surprised, but I can't find any information on the transmission. Perhaps I will try to spell the words correctly when I do a search for it.
shayan wrote:i have 10,000 cash and by next week 5g more you dont think i cant get some w around 500 with that?
Translation Suddenly, and entirely contradictory to what I was suggesting before, I have MUCH more than $7000 to build a 500rwhp car. In fact, I have more that twice that. Do you guys think I can build a 500rwhp car with that? Do you even believe the words I'm typing? Clearly you all understand that I am totally clueless about working on these cars and expect you to bear with my ignorance while I lie to try and force better answers out of you instead of doing the research myself.

For 15K you can build a car if you start with a decent one to begin with. Just remember when it breaks, which it will, it will be dam expensive to fix it. Also when a built motor does granade it will be costly. Granted you do the work yourself or have a great deal of free help and labor. For 15K it won't be a looker or anything great but it may be quick for a short lived time.

Obviously.

Why don't you try searching, even using Google, to learn a little about these cars?

Easy now everyone, not one of you guys were born with a wealth of car knowledge. Obviously this guy is somewhat inexperienced with 240's but wants a badass car nonetheless. Give him a break, he's a new guy here. If you want my advice man, send the car to a reputable shop and have them build you a decent car and just pay the bill. Obviously you have pretty decent funding so you can afford to pay a pro to make you a reliable fast car. My advice for 500 reliable whp is an rb25. An rb swapped 500whp with appropriate suspension etc. is easily attainable for less than 15 g's.

WTF? I can't help but laughYour trying to build a car with 15 grand plus probally the 4 grand your spent on the car itself? I don't mean to offend you but you need to do a ****load of reasearch before you go spending that much money. You need to learn more about the car before you start sayin you want this and that

And as for 500 hp. I think around 375 would be wicked fast on a 240

Your budget is pretty realistic.

Check out the S13 they got. Last I heard though, the guy responsible for most if not ALL of the R&D (Ivan) moved to turbo240.com

If you dont know alot about cars, buy a C-5 Corvette and throw in a super charger... there is your 500hp, its that easy. It will save time too. the whole deal (depending on the condition of the C-5) should run you anywhere from 25k to 35k, but that motor isnt beaing pushed even at 500hp and should last you alot longer.

HKS has a 6-Speed manual for the 240sx but it's like $9,000, and a turbo would be like another $3,500 at least.

The concept of using proper grammar is a new idea on many internet forums. You should try it, the results you get from others will amaze you. You also fit and surpass the typical 18 year old boy-ricer/F&F racer stereotype, which in-turn makes the other younger guys who do know something or think in a rational way look bad by association of age. The list looks like one from KA-T forum "Turbo build for Dummies" with just edited manufacture names. Go search, read up about car modifications, and stop looking in pos/ricer magazines like Super Street.

Oh about modding your car. Drop a EJ20 with a TRD stage II turbo kit and 4wd from a Talon with NOS.
