Does anyone know were i can buy this engine, other than ebay, somewhere were i can buy a low milage one

[mistert]

if you're going to use it for anything other than drag or show, dont bother man. adding almost 500lb to the front will destroy your handling in a car as light as the 240. however for drag, its pretty fuckin awesome. i'd rather just have an RB though, they hardly add any weight to the front, and are capable of plenty of power if you do the right mods. mmm...too bad rb26 isnt bolt in, though

[Zemus]

Well is their a way i can make a sr20det 300HP?

[mistert]

hmm...you'd need a new headgasket so you could turn the boost up over 14psi, which would in turn mean a larger turbo. if you had an FMIC, a turbo larger than the t28, and of course piping, 300 is perfectly within reason. fuel management is another area you'd have to pay attention to, but 300 shouldnt really be too hard with an sr20det.

got the $$$ to go to those sites for 550hp w/ an sr <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> ?

[Zemus]

Yea, i make enough, i just want to know that prices

[BlankFlip]

i wish i did.....
but yeah, i don't think there r ne specific sites that would have &quot;everything&quot; for what u'd wanna have done to get an sr to 550hp. can somebody give some insight on the s15 sr20det's? i haven't read much about them, n i just know that they're factory tuned to about 250 hp n little stuff like that. but if u really have a lot of $, then u should import a skyline gt-r n make us all jealous <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> . that would be much easier to get to 550hp w/ the rb26dett.

Check out Jun Parts.

http://www.upgrademotoring.com/index2.htm has Jun parts there with prices, and you can check out

www.junusa.com &nbsp; I can't connect to junusa.com right now, but they have a few more parts listed for the SR. I hope you know something about engines if you want to go that high on the HP.

How much is a RB26DETT, and would it fit in a 240SX?

[mistert]

i've already gone over this in a couple of other threads...RB20DET and RB25DET will both drop straight in and bolt up. RB26DETT will require mount modification, subframe welding, a customized cross-member out of the skyline, all of the GTR's axles and what not, the RB25DET transmission, and modifications to the engine itself.

not to mention actually sourcing an rb26DETT in the states would cost more than buying that s14a i was talking to you about

[BlankFlip]

not sure, but the gt-r's cost like $100,000 to import over here (or is it $90,000).

[mistert]

motorex charges about $75k for a brand new GTR right now, if im not mistaken.

thats about twice what you'd pay in US$$ right now if you bought one off the lot, loaded, in japan

[Zemus]

Yea, ive decided to just take a SR20DET and deck it out, and make it powerful

[BlankFlip]

that would be cool, be sure to keep us posted! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[wherezmytofu]

im doing this project 2.....so far...i got a vg30dett on a cherry picker and a fully departed s14.....sum1 in freshalloy said he did it and sum j30 engine mounts makes it much easier...so now im trying 2 locate it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[wherezmytofu]

and all that space infront the engine....i got a garrett tv series turbo <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>...thats right...1500hp capacity

actually it's just alittle over 100lbs more then the ka24de engine, thats why im gunna reloate alot of the things into the trunk....240sx dont reallyg ot a trunk anywayz....2 get that close 50/50 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[crazycuban]

100 lbs? &nbsp;nah man, the VG30ET weighs over 500...the DETT, i'm assuming, weighs more...this is compared to the KA, which weighs a little less than 300...
btw, I've seen red tops in japan go to 800-900 hp...
and to answer your question about the RB26 price, its around 6000 for the engine and tranny set...thats not including, of course, all of the chassis work you'd need.

[mistert]

can you get an rb26dett domestically with tranny for 6k now? you dont see them often, and usually when i see them they are priced ridiculously.

as always, power is just a question of money

[crazycuban]

yeah, at unstable at least...

[mistert]

hmm, $5500 US with tranny (if its complete, and is basically a stripped down clip) is entirely reasonable. i guess alot of these JDM engines are beginning to become more popular?

anyways, i've never gotten it....why the #### does unstable's page go so slow? it doesnt look particularly graphically intensive...

I spoke with a guy at jun who said that you wouldn't need upgraded turbo to get 300 at the wheels. He said it would be fairly easy, and relatively cheap.

[mistert]

i mean if just turning up the boost...with stock t25 turbo on a red top (non VVT like a black top s14), you might be able to make 280 with just turning up boost. otherwise, you'd need a t28 like the s15 uses. just boost and something like a cam change though, and of course intake/turbo back exhaust/intercooler+piping, you'd have no problem ripping 300 a new one.
