:help

Anyways as I always wanted a 89-91 240 Sx and since i just Crashed my Grand AM. I am looking onto getting the 240sxBut I need some help with swapping the engine

As every one knows the Skylines are all wheel drive, atleast the good ones are.

Well I am buying a R33 RB25DET Clip or a R32 RB26DETT Clip.

lets say i got for the RB25DET clip 2.5L Inline 6 Turbo

Clip includes: Engine, Transmission, ECM, Uncut Harness, Mass Airflow Sensor, Intake and Intercooler Piping, Stock Intercooler or better, Blow off Valve, Ignitor Chip, and Gauge Cluster.

Now When swapping this into my 240Is their anyways to make it 4 wheel drive to? or do i have to convert it to Real wheel drive like the 240 is?

Can any one help me out?

if any one knows if you can make it 4 wheel drive please let me know.

and also what do you think i should go for the RB25DET 250 HP or the RB26DETT 280 HP?

NO, only Skyines "GT-R" came w/ AWD;and of course RB26DETT.

The rest Skyines whether 4 dr or 2 dr are all RWD only, engine could be RB20DE, RB20DET, RB25DE, RB25DET.

Cheers

Well yes i know that some of them are RWD only but the GOod ones the GT-R and the GTS-4 in R32 models are AWD

My question is Can a 240 be made into AWD and will the RB26DETT fit in it without lossing power steering?

You can convert your car to a manual. You might be able to pic the parts you need off of a clip (highly rec going with a clip for this swap).

Really... do a search of this site and http://www.google.com to find out some of the intro questions. Once you have the clip and the car... start running into problems... we will be more than willing to help (most of us at least). I am not a pro at this by any means... but I've done it... and did a good job if I say so myself. I plan on getting better with a few more swaps.

I unfortunately did this swap on my own, before I knew of a place I could get a lot of help from like this forum (and my crappy clip from Venus has lead me into a frivolous problem... the more I read on this forum the more I think I could have avoided my problem if I hadn't bought my motor from Venus).

My car is fine except for the interior wiring... which was introduce to me b/c my clip had been fitted with nitrous... stupid button.

Short story long... read and search for your questions first. If you still have questions before you buy the stuff... we can help then.

I don't mean to sound like a forum jerk... but lots of the questions I am seeing are on the same topic of a thread that is discussed a few lines below the question.
