I want to know what kind of engine swap can I do to my 1998 240sx. Is the sr20 a good engine. How much would an engine cost for my 240.
engine swap on 240sx

RB25 Skyline engine if you have the dough. That's for mad powa.
ohhhhhhhhh shittttttttttttt, no you didn't.
please, for the love of god, just learn how to search the internet. there is more info on this question out there than you can possibly comprehend, it's all opinionated, and that's all you'll get here instead of concrete info
www.google.com
the 240sx sucks, and all the engine swaps you can get are weak.. I'd strongly suggest you sell it and buy another car that's faster... the 240sx is a 16 second car in the 1/4 mile, even if you spend the money to swap an engine, it's still gonna be only a mid 14 car, just sell it, it sucks.Originally Posted by chivistamex
Stock 240sx runs 15.5 at the track in a 1/4mile
Go check up the specs...Car and Driver
I've done 15.4 in my previous 93 240sx with Hicas
240s suck. i want a buick.
Me fucking too.
Swap in a B16.
nwo you're talking jay. exactly what i was thinking when i posted that.
That's my dream car. I wanted to buy one after the g20, but GNX's are like 40k.Ehh one day.
you should put an rb20 in it...
and then kill yourself.
"...I'm a thief, I'm a liar, There's my church, I sing in the choir..."
MMMM GNX, I do love the Cyclone too, nothing like a factory turbo pickup that will run 12's stock. SR's a good motor, RB's are good motors, best reccomendation is to jump on a 240sx messageboard and search, you'll just start alot of trouble asking this sort of question on this forum. If you have the money go RB26, or SR20 if you want to drift, or rb25 if you can't afford the 26, or RB20 if you're on a budget and want a swap with 190hp stock. Or build your KA and boost it, we're building 2 now shooting for 800+.

correction.... ANY forum.
Yeah its a dumb question. It wasn't in 94. But today there is the internet. Search it, use it.
Scoop him up while he is still confused and put an rb20 in his car quickly before he knows what hit him.
Well if he searches the internet he will realize that the rb20 is handsdown the best possible motor you can put in a 98 240sx.
I know this is what you guys are always getting all fired up about, but it seems to me that you can make more power with an RB without working the engine as hard. Am I right? If so, then what are the downfalls . . . weight/agility?
KA24E!
Hell yea.
h22a4....nuff said
Val RIP
Actually you cant make big power on an RB without massaging the motor. All the pistons in those motors are JUNK, and yes, that includes the mighty RB26. Each has its drawbacks, one way or another.
funny coming from a guy with a 4G63
Wow, I'm not sure what the fuck that statement was supposed to indicate, but OK, I'll go with that. I am in NO WAY saying the 4G is superior/inferior. I tune all sorts of cars all the time, and after the amount of time I've put in working on this stuff, I pretty much have gotten a feel for what the thresholds are of most stuff. That's all. Nothing less, nothing more.
This coming from an asshat with a G20....or did you get rid of it to jump on the 240 bandwagon?
George has probably forgotten more knowledge than you know, so just do us all a favor and STFU.

I think it's pretty wrong to assume that just because a person owns a particular car that they have no knowledge of other cars. We don't own a Honda, but I assure you that we work on them all of the time. This goes for Lexus', BMW, Vipers, Corvettes, NSX's the list goes on and on of cars that we work on and have knowledge of without owning them. Not a personal attack BTW, just a response.
I love these 'I got a 240 and I wanna swap in a xxxxDET, is this good/make me cool?'
Christ, I learned to quit asking tech questions on local boards years ago. Not that nobody knows, but there's no better place to go for tech info than tech specific boards when searching online.

anyone saying FUCK when it is not necessary if it was only a joke needs to chill the fuck out. I certainly did not jump you case. I only made a simple statement. A simple smilie
is that better? BTW the only reason why i came back with that reply is because it seemed as if they were being assholes about the whole thing (which they were)anyone saying FUCK when it is not necessary if it was only a joke needs to chill the fuck out.

Dammit. Here we go again.
*sigh* hahaha another round in the "I hate 240" match. This is hilarious.
wow.....
It was the sexiest dyno ever.
I dunno, it really wasnt under all that much strain to be honest. It was right at about 18psi, maybe 19 for a split second. It did it rather easily too. That car is actually detuned, it can make more. Matt, the dyno chart is in the computer over at the shop. You're exactly right, as soon as the clutch started to slip, the boost was turned down. I dont quite remember how much boost it actually left with, but it was still pretty damn stout! On a side note, even my 20g didnt hold all its power all the way to redline, so I would never expect anything even remotely close outta the stock SR turbo. It's like when I tune a car with a big 16g, they make pretty much the same power/power curve as what Matt's car is makes/is capable of making, but it doesn't have a chance in hell of holding it all the way across the board. I undestand what you're saying though.
i too own an SR and was running the stock T25, which is why i find it odd to say the least. my car at 14psi on it's best runs would muster ~240whp and had a big falloff after about 5000rpm due to it not being able to keep up with the airflow demands of the motor (that was with the boost holding perfect all the way to the limiter). i really don't see a 60whp deficit being made up with 5-6psi difference on a T25, especially when you're already well outside it's efficiency range and somehow making that power loft and hold. the power of that car sounds way more indicative of something like a BigT28. just seems like that "stock T25" may be stuffed with some goodies he didn't know about?
Hmm..I dont know. I'm sure Matt could answer that question better than me. If I recall correctly, it wasnt just throw some boost at it, and fuel tune, there was timing worked in there at some point. It wasn't holding 300whp all the way to redline, that's for sure, but it did infact make 300whp. Im sure we can pull the chart up and look. I'll look at it tomorrow while Im tuning on the dyno. Now you got me curiious! LOL.
Hey, if I bought a motor with a t25 with t28 internals I'd be more then happy...
But I doubt that happened. I bought it from a local guy who even said it was a stock avenir t25.
I too am curious haha.
that's a totally different subject, put away the gay porn.
i suggest boosting the original motor....do something diferent for a change.....and plus....more money for ur honey...lol
Definitely built KA-T, more bang for your buck very torque happy, gotta remember there's no replacement for displacement, 2.4 to 2.0. Or go for weight saving and get an SR and make power from it. Whats your budget, and how much power do you want? Damn, this thread is cluttered with alot of useless shit, about 9/10's of the posts on theis thread should be in the whoreslounge
E
yeah....so i will try to keep the thread informative....always go wit the original motor first ......i will boost mine as well....u can get more performance stuff and be torquey as well....the only way i would go wit SRs is to stick wit the JDM theme.....if not that..then KA is the way to go....boost it til it die first...lol
