The 240sx... project?

[Catnip]

Carb setups generally make 30-40whp over the LS6 intake (for those not familiar, that's the C5 Z06 intake manifold). Being that I have a DD and a bike, there's no use in sacrificing power for fuel efficiency, in my opinion.

You are absolute right. However, that particular H23 will bolt right in using stock mounts without modification. Mounts have to be fabricated for a V8 to be shoe-horned into a car it was never designed for but I do see your point.

Just put a ls1 in a 240 2 weekends ago, not really shoehorned, tight but not bad at all

This is truth, horse power tv did a carb vs efi and made more power, and god forbid a car with a carb since they are the devil lol

It was a homemade kit, my buddy bought the full swap from a guy in atl, the mounts were all made by turbo dave

But i hear in terms of the easiest smoothest install kit is the sikky

the quality of the sikky stuff looks impossible to beat.

Yea and in all honesty for the price its really not bad at all, i mean $1700 for oil pan, mounts, driveshaft, etc is a pretty good deal lol so when you starting your swap man?

need to find a buyer for my engine before i pull it, not gonna go thru the tire kicker process with kids crying about my engine. With it in the car and running, can prove all claims. I'm definitely ready though, gonna go obnoxious with it when i do. get some 1 chambers and turn downs, ive been listening to the little hamster for too long, tired of it.

For the record, the car he's been working on is my project. I had the money ready to order the sikky setup, but I couldn't pass up getting everything at once. The mounts turbo dave made look OEM. The only difference is my crossmember is modified, which means it's not legal in a drift car (which is why it was for sale).

Nice project. I decided to go EFI, but I definitely see going carb on a fun car.

Thanks man. I've been going back and forth between carb and EFI, and still do, but I think carb is the best direction for my build.

Small update. Few more things removed and got the front bumper fitted a hair better.
