240sx

[Afsil80]

I have a white one you can have.

It needs everything, though.

Oh, and for more info, go to these websites and SEARCH before anything else:

www.240sxforums.com
www.zilvia.net <-- My personal preferance for tech info
www.freshalloy.com

Those are usually the best when it comes to having unbiased opinions on motorswaps.

As well as Eric in GF, but I don't wanna see that car get trashed.

[KA-T_240]

I wasnt referring to buy his car, its pretty much sold. I was refering he is leaving the 240 scene. I would buy erics car but I need a new DD first.

I have 3 240's that are for sale.

on the 240 and nissan sites SEARCH before you post ANYTHING. you WILL get banned and flamed hardcore.

But that wieght comparission was done with an auto, those way a shit ton more then the KA 5-speed. but still lighter. I was going to do that swap in my car.

hahaha no im not gonna buy jeremy's 240 and the car i might get is in nebraska..where is the best place to buy a front clip and where would i send the wiring to? oh and i forgot to say its a 90 hatch

[KA-T_240]

since its a 90, you will have to rewire some stuff under the dash to get the cluster to work, you will need 91+ S13 Power streering system, I dont remember about the wiring, you will also loose the ablilty to use a consult tool, you will also need a DOHC throttle cable, gaugecluster. the clip doesnt come with all of that stuff becuase it is RHD and stuff is differant, but it will make sure you get all the stuff for the SR swap. And I know I am forgeting something.

Research the swap on the 240 forums, there are multiple right ups.

[GnArKiLl]

haha maybe i should just order a clip and take everything to sls and have them do it...puting the motor in and pluming it is no problem but i suck at wiring....

[thurmanmerman]

i have parts car that you can harvest off of for a price

[KA-T_240]

I just sold all the parts you would need for the SOHC to DOHC swap. and I mean everything. LOL.

BTW for the parts just for that swap(SOHC to DOHC), you would spend around $400, on top of the sr swap, some stuff from a clip can be used, but that depends on if you want have a KPH speedo... also its not easy to keep AC when doing the SOHC to DOHC swap, unless you have a complete system from a DOHC car, stuff from clip wont work LHD, VS. RHD.

As for the wiring, under the dash is easy. its not really wiring if you know what you have to do.

Also, is the car a 5-speed?

[GnArKiLl]

yea its a 5spd...

i would rather thave a kph speedo

and the no ac doesnt bother me at all

[blackcherryTSi]

me and a buddy of mine are thinking of doin the swap on his 90 240sx and we were wondering the same thing of how hard it would be

[KA-T_240]

LOL everybody wants a SR!!!!!!

SR FTL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although not having owned a 240, if I did I would probably go KA-T.

WOOOT.

[PSiedTSi]

Aren't the motors getting hard to find now?

[KA-T_240]

Ya, price for a complete SR swap with no basics and doing the labor your self is pretty much over 3k. and then you need the FMIC, guages, exhaust, the basic tune up stuff..... pretty much prices are starting to through the roof.

its getting to the point where the d-town guys are actually charging for there KAs when they pull them(not expecting anyone but tony to get that)

[GnArKiLl]

so how well does turboing the KA work j/w

[KA-T_240]

excellent!! as long as it isnt the SOHC, LOL, unless you build it.

If my car was driveable, and there wasnt salt all over the road. I would show you.

[GnArKiLl]

maybe ill just go that way.. seems like alot less bs

[KA-T_240]

SLS is developing products for it right, now. not the sohc, the dohc. I have a dohc for sale, and you can get the 5-speed swap from Jeremy(how ever much you hate him or what ever).

IMO, start with a car with the motor you want to use. I didn't and sort of wish I did. I did the SOHC to DOHC swap and the auto-5speed(which is really easy.
