240SX Swaps...

[GTR_240SX]

Dont understand I ask a question and all I get is a lot of peoples shit...

Well for those that can actually read this post and answer it I would appreciate it if you just answered the question...
What do you think is the BEST swap for a Nissan 240SX???

-SR20DET
-RB25DET
-RB26DETT
-VQ
-1JZ
-2JZ
-LS swaps either one or two

PLEASE I'M NOT LOOKING FOR SMART ASS COMMENTS SO IF YOU CAN JUST ANSWER I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ZILVIA MEMBERS THINK IS THE BEST SWAP FOR A 240SX.

THANKS

[draheim240]

are you serious?

second one today.

[hulkster_s13]

Ka24e.
If your looking for a majority rules swap to make you decision, then maybe you should do a poll.

[GTR_240SX]

I'm only looking for answers not your shit. So thanks but if you cant answer then just get the hell off this thread.

[badbob2121]

Another one?!

were on a dumb dumb roll today

:picardfp::picardfp::picardfp:

[badbob2121]

I'm only asking a question that i did not research on my own, so i would like to create another useless thread

fixed.......

[GTR_240SX]

Hulkster how do you do a poll? I have swaps that I would like to do and so far I've had SR, RB26 and next I'm not to sure what to do I keep hearing different opinions...

[!Zar!]

Easiest / cheapest - sr20

Most reliable / powerful - LSx

Best sounding -1.5jz

[Chaluska]

Viper V10 personally...

or if your gutsy, a cummins ISX... 2000 ft lbs @ 400 rpms :0pXXX

[KendallH]

KA24E swap holmes, thats what all the pro formula d drivers run. Ignore what "looks like" an LS1 swap in there, its just a disguise so they can pass tech. The single cam produces such brutal unforgiving power its banned from competition.

[GTR_240SX]

fixed.......
Your another little dumbass that goes along with everything and yes I've done the research all I'm asking is what would people like more if you read the post you would know but I forgot that you might just be some illiterate moron but hey its all good.

[GTR_240SX]

Viper V10 personally...

I've never heard of a V10 swap in a 240SX... Any links that shows a V10 Powered 240SX?

There is no BEST.

Its all personal preference.

[badbob2121]

no im not a little dumbass,

im the guy who calls people like you out who need other people to make their decisions for them on how they build their own car

someone who has only had an one or two different motors (majority of this forum) will have no valid judgement on what they believe is the best swap for an s chasis... so whats the point then?

Point is just to see what people like most and just like someone else said its all personal preference... I know how to build my cars but I also like building them to sell them. I like my RB26 powered S13. But looking to build one next year to drift and then sell... But thanks for your input but have a great day:)

[Edwin562]

I personally think whatever siutes you is what you should strive for. If you have the funds for a crazy build then LS1 or a 1JZ/2JZ swap is ideal. but if your in a budget then best option would be SR20/KA-T/RB20 swaps...
You have the choice to do whatever you wana do. Dont let others choose for you.

[KendallH]

but I also like building them to sell them.

Build Chevelles and Mustangs then. You can only lose money building 240s...

[trainkiller]

This will be closed soon, so who cares.

Ok but RB26 has a lot of potential but seems that not that much people want to pay 25K for a 240 with a LS swap and I really dont want to build a car and be stuck with it. I want to build something and then be able to sell it...

Like not to long ago I saw a 240SX with a 2jz and the guy was only asking $10500. Its a big loss because the swap alone is around 15K.

[GTR_240SX]

I was thinking about that but seems that all mustangs that are in good condition some people dont want to let go of them...lol.

Thats awesome but I really dont talk much. Its just a thread and I'm just looking for answers and some people have been helpful because theyre mature and you seem not to be so dont talk kid.

[dazed]

but I also like building them to sell them.

This is idiotic.

Also, if a mod locked your first thread, why would you think it's a good idea to make another identical clone?

This topic has been beaten to death, it's up to you do to the research on your own.

Power/reliability/fan boy love/gas milage

Btw it should be your personal preference, but I say SR for all above

This. ls1 engines just can't compete with the fury of a single cam.

Played out? Oh no I chose a motor that makes reliable power, has huge parts availability and giant aftermarket support. But everyone has one I must be a tool.

Gabe_S14 is in the process of putting one in his car.

For the most part, this is true.

never im bored at work,and doodleordie got kinda boring

[Chuggy]

mmm the best one i think would be 2j

[Boost_Fiend]

Regardless of what what motor you choose, it will be a money pit and sometime along the way your going to realize you should have just bought a 350z.
If your on a budget go with a sr20det if not ls1

[BoostSlideWayz]

My personal opinion from worst 1 to 5 stars one being worst 5 being best.

SR's ARE played out I know they are good motors and are drop in but if your gonna do a swap do something thats unique. i give it * * *

RB i like them because they are just all around good power plants i give this swap. * * * * *

1jz or 2jz i consider them in the same category they are good engines and fun and have a huge amount of room for HP for what ever you want its possible i say * * * *

LS is the least of my favorite, if you want alot of power with out the creativity then go ahead. Now i know people will say "are you kidding it takes alot of creativity for the frame work etc" but in my opinion its still the easy way out instead of building an engine to perform. Lets try to keep some of the drift cars on the track with japanese power plants.. every video i see its like this LS swapped 240, and it got old about 2 years ago. *

VQ's.... well they are kind of in the middle of creativity. I do find it interesting but i have seen alot of them done but they do perform so i must say this gets * * *

CA this engine in my opinion is not really a powerhouse considering its soo small, But i do think they are decent engines for just having a turbo daily driver. and you do not see too many of them on the road. * * * *

[!Zar!]

I could care less how many people have 'my engine'.

True fact.

[sil80d]

Depends on the car and the use of before mentioned car. me?
Track car red top sr20 (untill it blows then 1jz)
Daily sr20
The sileighty freeway car 1jz
m30 1.5j
wifes coipe vvti 1jz
wifes hatch blacktop sr20

[F20cS13]

God this is becoming the civic community....240sx are in the realm of civics, zilvia just tries and revives it with different motors.
And now its resorted to desperation of putting a v8 in.

240sx w/swap= civic w/ b series motor

[Wheelchair]

Before this thread locks...I want to ask the whining OP a question.

What answer are you actually expecting?

What are the parameters for 'best' swap you're looking for???

-Easiest to swap (for a fat/skinny man...short/tall man...weak/strong man...or a cripple like me...??)
-Reliability
-Easy access to quality aftermarket or OEM replacement parts
-Cheapest (to rebuild, to source, to replace, to modify...)
-on..and on...and on...and on...

Without making these clear in your original post... what do you expect?


Truly..there is no such thing as a stupid question, indeed... just stupid people...

your talkn aperently u couldnt decide between a honda and a 240 the only thing a f20 has going for it is its high reving. but the op is retarded made 2 ridonkulas threads in one day thats a fail in my book aperently u were reading this

[ranger240]

to the OP, do a subaru sti engine swap, it requires just a little bit of cutting and JB welding but nothing someone of your caliber couldn't handle

low center of gravity FTW

if you're after street cred, screw V10s, go with a jag xjs V12 running half a dozen downdraft webers

jag won lemans a bunch of times with an I-6, so you'd have twice the engine of a race winning jag C-type!!!!

[cdlong]

[SIZE=5]-LS swaps either one or two

I think the best would be two LS swaps, kinda like that twin engine Hyundai.

Not really, for civics they are kind of forced to only run honda engines where as us FR guys can run nearly any type of engine we want if we know how to do fab work.

The second one most especially.

You are getting such a hard time because this conversation is old and repetitive, people are tired of getting it every week from someone too lazy to do the legwork themselves.
There is literally NOTHING you can say to make the conversation as you have presented it "different" enough to warrant a new thread on the same old shit, simply because you would not search and make your own mind.
