what have a talked myself into?
Hey Nismodave,
This is a serious discussion here and we don't need people clouding it up with oil change talk...........
Besides, a 15hp oil change? No way, everyone knows the best means of attaining quick horses is with a car wash. You get the benefit of losing weight in the form of excess dirt and grime, plus the obvious (upto) 20hp gain from the added bling factor.
Damn man do your research.

160hp and 162 ft/lbs of torque...it's a monster! All of that power to the wheels may change rotational speed of the planet and send us out of orbit, careening in to the sun and our collective fiery doom.kyle1911 wrote:Bad news i was jut talking to him and he said that he has two cr-v's one 2003 and a 1998... hes using the 2003 so basicly im ****ed. cause it has i-vtec 2.4L 160hp 162 lbs/ft......
Not to poop on your thread, but this may be the slowest drag race ever.
The ancient 240SX vs. the elderly luxury sedan (it's not fat, it's big boned) vs. an underpowered SUV?
Personally, I'll put a $1000 on the old dude driving the Rascal.
Seriously, don't potentially waste a good $500 on this.
Take it to the track and race just for the fun of it. Save your money and do some maintenance on your car.

Looking for a bike!
didnt feel like reading it all, but for purses that high the other guys were prolly joking so I wouldnt worry bout it. But the crv you shouldnt have a problem, as for the beemer your out 400 bucks.Go find a buddy whos got some n20 an thro it on there for one race do bout 100 shot. Youll win no prob might blow your engine but you won 400 bucks an can get a pretty good motor for 400.

Its not a monster but technically it can beat my car.... id love to take my car to the track but... the nearest one is 3 hrs drive away....
i know its slow, i dont have a good enough job to give myself a KAT, though i wouldnt want to put boost through an engine with that many KM anyways.
Enough with the rice jokes please...:chainsaw
an oil change restores power not add it.....
The only one i somewhat commited to was the CR-V, i thought i had a good chance until i found out it was a 2003... i still have a chance but a very small margin of error.
We all dont have best buds with nawws (N2O)..... and even if i did i couldnt just swap it over without doing about 500$ worth of fuel pressure mods and better injectors.....
why woudl you suggest that?-

im sorry to bring back an old thread... but ilikenissan and silentdrifter are you joking?
have you ever even driven a CR-V or a 735? well I own a Cr-V and my dad owns a 735... you mean to tell me that a 140hp 4-wd SUV is going to have any chance against a 140hp RWD coupe? you must be kidding? seriously, and the same goes for the 735. a 3.5L straight 6 in a seven series? not to mention automatic to boot. If it were a 540 or a 535, or even a brand new 745iL than yeah i would put my money on the beemer, but it isnt. In fact, its almost 20 years old! I cant believe people are actually thinking about these races for more than a second.
Dont make me start breaking out the power-weight and gear ratio differences that make the CR-V fall flat on its face after 40mph. Its a damn SUV, its geared for towing and off-road use. Do you have any idea the difference in drivetrain loss between those two? So it has a B20, Why should I care, the motor means nothing if you dont factor in what kind of vehicle its in. If you throw a B18C into an accord sedan, does that make it fast? of course not.
If im coming off a bit harshly its because im so tired of hearing people on this board talk about the 240 like it should fear every car on the road short of an insight. So it's not a Z06.. that doesnt mean every civic with vtec or every B18 or B20 is going to beat our car, whatever the year.
If you have never raced a CR-V or a 735 dont be so quick to post up thats its going to be serious competition for a 240sx. Especially if you dont have all the facts , it only makes you look like an uneducated bench-racer.

Because everywhere you look, all you hear is that if you dont have a KA-T, CA, or heaven forbid an SR.. you will basically lose to everything on the road, which is not true. Not to mention it discourages people from asking, when all they get in response is the typical spew about the supposed pathetic performance of a stock or near stock 240sx.
I am not suggesting a person go out and try to race everything he comes across, because he won't win against everything, and also because I dont condone street racing.
And I'm sorry repo im not trying to piss anyone off, but I dont see the point in letting misrepresentation of our cars be spread around, by those who do not have any valid reason, or real information regarding the subject at hand.
btw: I am not spouting racial slurs or vulgar language. So what is wrong with adding my opinion to this thread.

He already said that he could take the 735i b/c its OLD AS **** and he said it was running like crap.0range_240 wrote:im sorry to bring back an old thread... but ilikenissan and silentdrifter are you joking?

Well dude for one the 240sx is a very underpowered car 155hp and 165tq ( not sure about the torque forgot all that stuff when i got my engine swaped ) It's not very impressive **** dude Civic Si's were passing me with no prob. Its ****ty numbers for a stock "preformer" ya once you start modding the ka then its a ****ing beast but untill then its a sheep in wolf's clothing.0range_240 wrote:Because everywhere you look, all you hear is that if you dont have a KA-T, CA, or heaven forbid an SR.. you will basically lose to everything on the road, which is not true.

agreed... I dont know what kind of mods you had on your car that allowed SI's to beat you, but anyways.. it may be a sheep in wolfs clothing, but in no means is it a slouch.
To compare the straight line acceleration to that of a 4-cylinder SUV is ridiculous. All im saying is it'd be nice to see some actual proven wins/losses instead of someone just assuming a 240 will lose every time. Thats just ignorance.
