Hey everyone I'm new to the 240 scene, but not to cars in general. I live in AZ and have been working on my Honda project car for about a year now and have finally finished.......Since I have car A.D.H.D. I've been looking into my next project. I saw a couple pics a while ago and thought that's exactly what I want for my next project. These are a couple of them.

I know....well at least I think I know they are s15's well at least I think the front ends are. Anyway, I need to know what front ends these have and what I will need to get my 240 to look exactly like the white one. I've been toying around with a 2jz swap, but recently I've been leaning towards a supercharged LS2 swap. I really haven't decided. Well, I love the 240's looks and I can't wait to get my hands on one. Here is a couple pics of my current ride.

Just a heads up, an LS2 swap is considerably more difficult than an LS1 swap, the drive by wire stuff is a ton of extra parts, LS2 has slightly more potential than the LS1, but as far as $ to power ratio it's cheaper to build up the LS1 and drop that in.

Either way though good luck with the project!

S14.5 conversion kit. charge speed makes one. or you can piece one together, get a beat up Zenki "S....four...teen" and go to town... that white "car" isnt to cheap either, so you should probly sell your cute little civic.

not just a K20.... a supercharged K20 in an EK and yeah the mods will most likely move it or lock it. i like the engine bay but the car needs coils and wheels. at least sumthing different over the rotas.

the kit on the white one is most likely Origin. my friends S14 looks exactly the same just with different wheels.



and i bet that cute little civic just a lil faster than ur cute little 240. from what i see on looking at what he's spent on his motor set up i'm doubting money will be that tight and no, it wont be "that" expensive to replicate the white S14 either.

Oops, sorry didn't see that.

I didn't think about drive by wire......Can you drop an older cable throttle body on it and maybe use an older wiring harness? Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the support man. The engine is a k24. It's the engine out of a TSX. I'm putting down 250 to the wheels right now on 6lbs of boost. It's not that great, but superchargers are pretty ineffecient, especially here in AZ where its hot. My brother is turboing the same engine and can expect 400+ whp on about 12-14lbs of boost. So there is a big difference.
Lol, I do have tein coils, but I don't want to drop it anymore than it is. And I like my Rotas...:D Actually I need to get new rims, been getting a lot of flack for having them.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

welcome to Zilvia

I looked at the chargespeed kit and it looks pretty ricey imo. Do you think the white car is the real deal or a nice oem looking body kit?

Thanks man. It's hard to get respect from the car guys around town driving a Civic around. That is until they race me........Just kidding. Probably because of all the ricers out there with their 3 ft formula 1 spoilers. I've also been considering getting a '69 Camaro and swapping in some beast of an engine just to get the respect that comes with American Muscle, even though I could make an import run circles around it.....Each to their own I guess, my problem is is I like all of them.

you need s15 conversion fenders,headlights,bumper support, bumper retainer,radiator support,hood, and im not sure if im forgetting anything else...probably run you about 1k to 1.5k for everything you need...depending on whether or not you find decent deals on anything

http://www.origin-lab.com/ has the front bumper and fenders you need

and in general good places to start looking for parts are:
