Thanx 4 the warm welcomes. As far as plans go, i want either the 92 or 98 style 240. Still learning about what to do to this car but i know the basics. First thing im gonna do is drop the ka for the last gen S15 silvia black top. I've read its the most powerfull of the SR20's. My question is, which style 240 will it fit? Im guessing the 98 style but of course but if i get the 92 will it work. I won't act like i know what im talking about cause i don't but in time i will with ya'll help : ) I just know those are the two body styles i like and im dumping the ka. N E help as far as what sr is best and fits what would be great. Also an est on prices . Thanx.
Re: (yourhighnesz)
hallo and welcome =D. 92 "style" is the same from 1989-1993 (S13)..but those came in either the coupe form or hatchback. 1997-1998 is the same..regarded as the S14 kouki.
Just remember to use the search button for any questions you may have. Check out your options and goals as well and see the pros and cons of any route you may take. If you happen to find a low mileage KA you may want to look into turboing it rather than the SR route. I'm sure this forum will help you as it has a lot of info, so enjoy

Re: ([Zero-S])
Well think about the reasons for getting the SR. If its..because everyone is doing it then you really should check your options. I was talking to this one guy and he had a low mileage KA, but he wanted the SR JUST for the fact that it was "JDM". He knew nothing about the car but he was already talking about swaps.
Look in the "240sx and Silvia" forums and check out the SR and KA/KA-T sub forums; lots of information there to aid you in your decision. I'm sure you will see the differences and which fits your goal.

Re: (getnrowdy23)
Welcome.
If you're going to do an SR20 swap save yourself some money and don't go for an S15 engine. They're still too new, and the prices are stupidly high on them.
Like I always say, I personally wouldn't even do an SR20 swap. The KA will make WAY more power when it's built turbo... and you'll have that throw me into the back seat kindof power with it's torque.
Good luck.

Welcome! Definitely head over to the 240 section for info on that.
A few words of interest:240's are quite hard to find in decent condition around here, trust me, I looked for months, and while I still wish I had a 240, my Sentra still has less than 50k miles, is pretty new (2001), came with a stiff suspension, LSD, 7-speaker audio, weighs less than a Mini Cooper, outruns/handles an SE-R Spec V (now...)... so on and so forth... 240s, on the other hand, are subject to price gouging because of their HUGE popularity, and, in our area, low supply.
Where in ATL are you, by the way? I'm on the southside in southern Fayette County, between Peachtree City and Fayetteville...
Anyways, back to my words of warning: Another subject of price gouging is the SR you mention swapping. SRs are the hot ticket (I got one stock... but it lacks a turbo and the wrong wheels spin...). That's part of the reason for the sudden increase in people who are doing KA-Ts... (I fully intend that if I do happen to get a 240 project car, it will be the mini-GT-R, that is, a bored out to 2.6 or 2.8 litre KA with a single Disco Potato- Garret GT30RE... if I'm not mistaken). The other reason someone else mentioned is torque. Torque is somewhat lacking below 3000rpm in the SR... with a small turbo, this lack is made up for, but the larger turbos that many people add on to the SR make this problem even worse. I know about the lack of torque well personally, so if you ever doubt that... well... talk to me and other SR owners first. The final problem with an SR swap is that, in the case that you got a Kouki (97-98), you will fail GA emissions testing, period. A pre-1995 vehicle won't fail, nor will a turbo KA (in most instances).
SO, if I were you, I'd be doing a couple things: First, do a lot of research about the 240 and swaps, turbos, etc... a lot of info can be found here on this site by this incredible group of NICOnauts. Second, research another car or two that interest you. Personally, I'd be looking at a 200SX/Sentra SE-R if you want something affordable, fun, and quick, but it all depends on your situation. If you are a new driver, I would push the 200SX/Sentra SE-R (and 98-99 Sentra SE-L/00-01 SE) quite hard because they are incredibly reliable and perfect to get accustomed to the road in... if you're an old fogie and you really don't need the entry into the quick car world, completely disregard that last part.
Think about your money situation. Think about your experience level. Think about everything before you start spending money.

Dont give up on finding a 240. They're always there if you look and wait: it's a like a rite of passage that you have to suffer a little bit waiting for that perfect S13 or S14. When you finally find it you'll know, and it'll be that much better.
There is no substitute. Think RWD, RWD, RWD!
