what will a rb25det run 1/4 stock in a 240sx and what will a front clip cost in us dollars and is there a lot of custom stuff that u have to do to make it fit thanks for the help

You can find most of the information &nbsp;you need at www.unstable-hybrids.com. They've built an rb20det powered 240sx, and iirc the rb25 is physically very similar. Look around a bit, you're asking for a lot of information on a swap that I don't think has been done in the US, or at least not made general public knowlege. Price of the clip should be found at unstable as well. My I ask why you are looking at the rb25? It's performance advantages can be realized in the other, easier alternatives. If it's just to be unique, that's OK too <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Oh, almost forgot. 1/4 mile times are damn near impossible to judge as there are many more factors than your crank hp that effect it. If I were to make a wild guess, the rb25 makes what, 240, 280hp? You are prolly looking at 13-14 second quarter times (mebbe, that's a best guess).

well actually the RB25det in a 240sx has been done a few times here in socal. S14 version is my buddy Gary Narusawa.
In a S13 its Gary McKinney at McKinney motorsports . I know Mckinney has a website I would recommend doing a google on it.

well heres the deal i cant decide on a car it a 240sx or a talon i can make the talon run 11sfor under 3 grand but there is a few already where i live now the 240 there is one with the sr20 but that is all he has now i dont want to spend 4500 and only run 14s but if i do the rb25 atleast it different &nbsp;so thats where im ati can do a fully blown out 11sec show talon or i can do th 240 with the rb25 and be different i live in michigan
r there alot of upgrades for this motor &nbsp;does the motor have what it takes to run a low 12 with a few upgrades or no

Trust me... the RB20DET powered 240 from unstable hybrids is INCREDIBLE. &nbsp;Remarkably clean install, perfect auto to 5 speed swap, and even included the tach from the R32 clip!! &nbsp;

I had a rare once in a lifetime chance, and I took it.. haha.. &nbsp;

Trust me... *wink* it's NICE. =)

If all you want to do is have a 12 second 240sx then a turbo KA may be your cheapest route. &nbsp;If I wanted a 12second car that was cheap I would go with the talon, but I like to 240, so I understand why you want one. &nbsp;Also, my friend has a 12 second talon, so I know what you mean by everybody having one. &nbsp;I pretty much have a 13 second 240 and I did it really cheap, mostly because I didn't rebuild the motor (yet!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> and I put together a turbo kit myself. &nbsp;However, you can run 12s with the KA cheaper then you can with any other route on the 240 (IMO). &nbsp;You should be able to do a turbo kit for $3000 and new pistons (pretty much all you need) for $500. &nbsp;This seems much cheaper then the RB25 plan, but it would be cool to have a RB powered 240. &nbsp;If you have the time, money or skills, I recomend putting the toyota 2JZ in the 240 over the RB, I think it will make more power and the install shouldn't be any harder.
