from civic to 240

[nelson9995]

hey guys today I traded my fully built all motor gsr hatch for a boosted s14 with a wide body and bodykit with good suspension, full interior (lol) and other goodies. lmk what you guys think.

[Sinfix_15]

id be expecting the 240 to break down soon. Only reason i can see him wanting to trade for that civic.

[Franco Tirador]

nice, needs work 4 sho, but nice, what's up with the white one next to it??

Agreed. I'll be expecting a thread or two in the TECH section pretty soon. At least it seems an even trade. Going from a Civic to a 140 is neither an upgrade nor a downgrade, lolol. Later, QD.

[MistaCee]

Ha if everything's good with the 240 you got a good trade

[Steezy-Ek]

Clean 240 :-)

maybe maybe not... a sr is in its near future though

that white one is a sr sir... its a buddy of mines

probably I was just wanting to get out of the gokart feeling and get into rwd... IMO the 240 has more power potential

Ha if everything's good with the 240 you got a good trade

thanks I think so too

Good trade depending on the condition of the s14 just don't try being a drifter and grab a curb.

lol traded an all motor civic, for a boosted s14........Something happened behind the scenes here...just sayin

Sell me the turbo kit when it does break down.

[Drummerboy]

Why would you swap an SR when the KA is already boosted? I haven't been impressed by many SR's.

Was the guy you traded from the marietta area?

Come ride in mine.

[Bacon]

Come ride in mine.

Can I take that offer? A ride in two SR-powered 240s in a week will be a record for me.

[Drummerboy]

Come ride in mine.

lol, you may be the exception. I know alot of the southside guys know Darren. White S13, ridiculously crazy guy.

Anyways, he's the reason I don't like SR's i think. He always talked shit about how he'd walk all over my car when he SR swapped. So after a year or so, he finally did. We get a pull leaving Summit on 75. From a 40 roll, It was like he was standing still. And I was only running like 12psi then. So about 250whp.

nah i dont drift lol

lol traded an all motor civic, for a boosted s14........Something happened behind the scenes here...just sayin

????????? maybe because the civic had no exhaust, untuned, etc but it was FULLY built with like 50 miles... and the s14 had R32 brake calipers, better body all around, boosted, exhaust, drilled and slotted rotors, widebody, etc...

damn I must have no hope lol

PM your number if thats okay with you. I have some questions concerning the swap

that sr must have been stock turbo

sr has wayyyyy more potential... also the KA is untuned I was quoted 650 to tune it and why go through that when I can spend 1600 for a complete SR
and nah

i HAVE an SR..still pretty unimpressed with it

ebay dont build em like they used to.

[Benefit]

Dont know about "power potential" on a KA-T. Good trade but i would of kept the honda, that 240 will be breaking down soon

Everyone has their own opinions but from experience KA-T can push out more than the 2.0SR

[Benefit]

Maybe in torque, SR's are proven to do 500hp on stock internals; ka-t will just blow up unless it is built

edit: ka-t will do 300hp reliably on stock internals

Too true. I ordered mine from eGay and they sent me a civic engine - i swapped it in anyways and the car is megasooperjdmquikomgz.

All kidding aside, i love my SR. It turned my 240 into a completely different car for the better.

sr20 is an amazing engine. people only talk bad about it because its common and popular. The "cool kids" hate popular things.

Saw you at cheddar's tonight, rolled over that way to get some food. Stopped in the parking lot and took a glance at ur wheels. Looks good, your stance is on point. Lot of Nissans were out in columbus tonight, pulled out of cheddar's and saw a GTR, then rolled down to the gas station and there were 3 240s sitting in the lot. Was hoping the GTR would come out to the highway but he didnt.

[Sinfix_15]

SR20 is a better high end engine than a KA. People think KAs are better because they can reach their street car goals with a KA the same as the SR20 people can, but the sr20 does it smoothly and reliable unlike the KA. If i were building a drag car, i wouldnt mind a KA. All other forms of racing, sr20 is a better engine and has higher top end potential.

im saying chassis overall. SR is going in meaning I can push 400whp bone stock motor itself. try doing that in a gsr without sleeving... and doing forged bottom end, etc... and at the end its still FWD (spin like a B****)

not true. maybe low end torque

my friend has a stock internal SR with just upraged turbo and it is alot faster than what i got lol

i have to agree with you. KA is a truck engine cant even rev past 6k on stock internals

[jdm_eg8]

Have you realized theres always haters on IA, lol... I think you made a good deal & got somthing you wanted... Good Job

Well, I sincerely appreciate the compliment bro - but lets not play any games here, your 240 is clearly one of the nicest in town. And it sucks that the first time (I think) you've got an up close view of my car just happens to be the dirtiest it's ever been. I feel ashamed.

At any rate, stop being a stranger - all the 240 guys in town would love to meet you - they about fell out of their chairs when you passed Starbucks, it was funny.

sr complete with wiring and ecm is only 1600?? hmmm interesting i might need to look into that in the future

[nelson9995]

http://www.tigerjapanese.com/index.p...emart&Itemid=1

the s13 one is like 1200 lol

[Genji-Sama]

????????? maybe because the civic had no exhaust, untuned, etc but it was FULLY built with like 50 miles... and the s14 had R32 brake calipers, better body all around, boosted, exhaust, drilled and slotted rotors, widebody, etc...

Huh, think you misunderstood me, i was saying you got the better deal, by a looooong shot

[CptWitwiki]

It doesn't say anything about wiring or ecm still not too bad I'd like to have one in the truck

[Benefit]

The link to the blacktop sr that nelson posted is 1700, shipping is 216$ to ga, it is without wiring or ecu, so that is another 200-300....2100-2200 is your price

Although, the S13 SR they have is a good deal for 1300(+200 s/h) with transmission.
