Supercharged Xterra motor in a 240??

[SilviaJunkie]

My friend who owns an older Nissan truck and asked me if she would be able to swap the the new supercharged xterra motor into her truck. So my mind started to wonder away from her question into a question of my own. "Can somebody swap the Supercharged motor into a 240sx?" Kinda a random thought, and I'm sure it might have been suggested before, but couldnt find anything on it. Tell me what you think. Thanks(I wouldnt do it, love the SR and CA too much)

I would do it if it was relatively staright forward...210HP 246lbs tq

TORQUE BABY...I wanna feel some twist.

You can change the super charger pulley on that baby to increase boost too!

he-he yeah yeah hih hih torque is cool!

shut up beavis

[RWDnot RICE]

you can spercharge a KA too?the only difference would be that you would probably have to engineer it all yourself (placement of charger checking clearences...) as opposed to the xterra engine that is already been engineered. but i would agree with a few of my V8 buddies that superchargers seem to come out in the end as more reliable.

[sheadee240]

I could send my car to the moon with the proper engineering.

I think someone did a post once saying does anyone have the balls to post a picture of yourself...Here he is..he-he!

Dude how about a picture og your car instead, no?

If that is doable, then do it man and let us know what happened. That's a nice dream, supercharging the 240SX...aaaah.

[APEXi240]

UMMM...first off the supercharges xterra engine would be all custom.

second...they already make a supercharger for the 240.

use the search button.

My car looks stock from the exterior, so why put up a pic?

and who would want a whipy supercharger on thier car? i thinik turbos are just more advanced.

No they don't, there is not a kit for a supercharger for the 240sx.

Yes they do. I see them on ebay all the time.

OK, I didn't even want to waste space on this one, but are you serious?

Just because some a$swhole on ebay takes an electronic motor that can be wired to push a tiny bit of extra air into your intake at WOT (that's Wide open Throttle) and calls it a supercharger, doesn't mean that it is real supercharger...It's a freaken fan...Holie SHEEET, did you guys happen to notice how much you can buy one of these "superchargers" for?

So, if you don't know the difference between an electric fan and a supercharger, then why are you telling us how custom an exterra supercharged motor, ecu, swap would be?

[S13Drifter]

Yes they do. I see them on ebay all the time.

Ok let my make a correction to what i said, there has never been a supercharger that runs via a belt on the engine to force upwards of 5 psi in the engine for a 240sx.

Well i see the little smiley guy at the end of my sentence winking didn't convey my sarcasm.

[Camel]

Anyone done any more research into this swap? I am going to go look at one of these trucks this afternoon to check out the sizing and motor mounts and such.

[yellow_jacket]

The killer is going to be the wiring and ecu. I'm not that familiar with that motor, but you will most likely need a lot of money to make this happen. Junk yards are going to want pretty good money for everything you will need to get this to work(motor, manifolds, supercharger, wiring, ecu, etc)

[toki]

it's always funny to see people who think they know about 240s come here, get a sarcastic comment from an established member, and then have them freak out regurgitating what they read in super street. It is no longer the honda boy, it is now the nissan boy which all will hate.

To make an actual contribution to this thread...Why would you want to put a supercharged motor in the 240SX...a supercharged XTerra motor at that. A decent turbo kit for the KA will get you running around the same numbers as the supercharged engine, will cost less, and be less stress on you in the end. And a turbo does not require the changing of pulleys everytime you wanna up the boost...Did I mention that supercharges have a parasitic effect on engines as well...because they are belt driven (like your mechanical fan...a/c compressor...we all know what those do to an engine when they're turned on)

[NISTECH]

the xterra vg33er engine is physically to big in height to fit into a 240. unless you where to find a shallow oil pan and a shorter pick up tube and cut a hole in the hood of the 240 to allow room for the supercharger. besides the boost that the charger gives the D-22 is very little you would be better off trying to manipulate a stock vq35de engine or hey just an idea here how bout one of those rb26 engines every one boasts about?

[NISTECH]

BTW the supercharger on the D-22 was a temp fix to match the horse power of the toyota truck for the past couple of years. the new engine is gonna be much more impressive. 4.0l is speculated a choped version of the 5.6L in the Titan and Pathfinder Armada.

Nice to know NISTECH.

hey, Zero-S, that mean smiley you have under your name is cool!! I've been thinking about supercharging my 240. Pro Charger makes a universal kit for imports. Just have to do some fab work with the belt situation, that's about the only challenging thing. I had a turbo car and my brother-in-law has a 98 mustang gt with a Pro Charger (which I installed) and I'd rather have the Pro Charger than a turbo. It was just wayyyy easier to tune, more reliable, and gives more low end torque. My GN was all top end unless I brake boosted it at a light to 8 PSI. Then it would just smoke the tires for a 1/2 a mile lol Isn't torque what the 240 is all about?? It is for me, besides, the whining of a Pro Charger at idle is too sweet!!

Man,

If you custom fab a supercharger kit for ka, I'll be your first customer.

I'm not looking for anything more than 6PSI, but love the idea of low end torque (anybody driven new 1.8l blown mercedes ? I did, it is killer for daily driving).

As far as sceptical comments about superchargers robbing horsepower: With even 6PSI on KA, I will have enuff left to get around 200whp. Most of which I wouldn't need to wait for 3.5k rpm.

Superchargers are also easier to remove for your inspections (&^%&* Cali).

That kenne-bell kit for Miata looks very similar to what KA would need, why people are not looking into modding that.

In reply to Zero-S asking why anyone would want to supercharge a 240, my answer is very simple, three words actually.......LOW END TORQUE. Since I am very experienced in the turbocharging field as well as superchargers, MY preference would be to have the low end torque of a supercharger. Just preference, I don't think anyone that wants to supercharge a KA should be called a ricer. Save that for the kids with huge spoilers, neons, and 1000 stickers.

[cory2081]

Yo, MOTOP, I don't think you'd be the only one interested. I may start seriously looking into making a kit. Like I said, the hardest part is mounting it and deciding how to reroute the belts. Nothing I havn't done before.

Cory, I'm with ya on that. I've already asked moderators in the different post to create separate forum for superchargers discussion.

This is annoying, every time somebody with experience supercharging motors tries to share knowledge/experience/questions there will be 20 more replies "Get a turbo".

If person wanted a turbo he/she would ask for one. It is like saying "KA sucks, get SR" on the KA24E/KA24De forum !!!

Zero-S, this is for you, go find any supercharged car dyno and compare it to turbo car dyno. You will find the curves to be completely different.

Cory, I need to get a hold of you, private message me your phone pls. I have access to cheap fabrication facilities.
