View Full Version : Jamaican 240SX
The Architect

This project started with just the SR20DET motor that was installed in another chassis, but spotted a good 240SX and new project was born.
Plans are to do the motor swap bigger injectors, Emanage ultimate and some tuning and see if we can break into the 10sec high range
previous chassis a KP61 Toyota Starlet

I don't exactly know where the distributor came from but i think its from a N/A silvia modified to to use outside coil

No its going to be a street/Drag car well in the Toyota we had some issues of short wheel base and SR20 torque tendencies that didn't work the car hardly went in a straight line so boost never passed 10psi

The body is in great condition it just had a few bad spots which were taken car of, the trunk was paid special attention and i think it came out well.
After the motor is done and suspension then the paint and TLC will be done.
Yes it was imported from the states

Average annual income in Jamaica is roughly under 965,800 JMD or 11k USD. That may have something to do with it I'm sure.

WTF we got everything for the car the power steering will be installed soon. not because the valve cover look beaten means the motor is not solid, infact it was just rebuilt just added the GTi-r pistons and rods for safe measure too, all wiring is complete just simply used the KA24 wire loom for ease of operation.
What is wrong with using a distributor setup? doesn't it make the power needed?
and we got all the direct ignition parts if we wanted to return it to the stock setup.
Obviously project is not complete yet but doing the motor first them worry about beauty

Yea motor was rebuild with GTi-R pistons and new conrod bearings however recently we discovered the #4 conrod bearing had spun our observation of the oil pan showed it was bent and may have cause that bearing to go bad. so new Conrod bearings and new oil pan was installed.

damn man you plan on rollling on 17s with stock suspension?
If I where you I'd sell the rims, get used coilovers and slam it on stock wheels if were on a low budget.
Don't get lowering springs on your stock suspension. IMO waste of money. Chances are your stock shocks already near death with lowering springs on stock shocks gonna kill them even more and ride like shit.

well im just saying NO on the noname lowering springs on stock shocks.
I believe he said it was gonna be a drag/street car. I just cant imagine 17s on stock shocks running 10s.

Other than the lowering springs and energy suspension bushings the rest of the Suspension will remain stock no need for coilovers S13's handle pretty well stock when equipped with good rubber.
based on my research i have seen pretty stock suspension S13 on slicks doing 1.4 60ft times so in no rush to change stock suspension and the current shock are fairly new.

Oh where do i start to update this thread
so we hit the dyno few weeks bk and had boost problems eventually made 247whp and 193lbs of torque
here is a pic of one of those dyno runs
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b124/NissanKing/Project%20240SX/dynorun.jpg
Car was also running rather lean and this problem was traced to the fact that i had bored the MAF so currently running the original 50mm MAF housing
the reason for the lazy boost and not getting anyting higher than 10psi was a weak wastegate spring the solution was to utalize the dual port of the wastegate something like this was done
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b124/NissanKing/ewgsetup2.jpg
so received the LSD diff today its from a JDM S13 also got these babies too in preparation for a Drag meet coming up on the 28th of February

Next step is to hit the dyno again and run 15psi of boost that should break the 300whp then see what she runs on the Drag strip

the Dyno is in kingston Jamaica
So it turns out the JDM diff i received is a skyline which is if i remembered correctly 4.3 of sweetness
today tried taking out the old open diff with no luck one of the front bolts is so rusted it broke so tomorrow have to try removing it.

SUCCESS what a difference a lsd makes this car is amazing at 10psi this car feels rather quick i am now excited to see how she runs at 15psi and the slicks
12sec timeslip is the aim

so took the car to the local drag strip on the west side of Jamaica had a not so good day but happy to finally get the car driven in anger
did a best of
[email protected] however did a couple 14.3 @ 118mph the 60ft were some miserable 2.8
yep became aware the my uncle(owner of car) had used a stock pressure plate with the performance clutch so there is your culprit right there
have ordered a ACT complete heavy duty clutch kit so will be bk on the strip hunting the 11s once the 60ft come down we will be right there
