Ha ha I guess i brough up the RB25 but, the guys car is amazing and as whitey said he did it for fairly cheap...Whitey have any vids from the burnout fest of his car? or the church parking lot donut competiton ha ha

Re: turbo 240 sx
 

Maybe everyone isn't doing the swap becuase they hear from people on the internet that the swap costs a shitton of money when in reality it doesn't. So than people hear this misinformation from people without experience, get scared and settle for an SR20DET. Than everyone now has SR20's and continue to ------ misinformation by saying "if it was that cheap and easy everyone would be doing it." All I know is that an RB25 swap is probably as hard as a H22 swap in a Civic (which isn't that difficult). But thats just my guess ;)


Nope, all those vids are on Knarr's camera. :'( I even have old videos where me and House both had the Supras out blowing out the tires. But its on regular VHS, not digital so I can't post them. Best Houseknect quote: "Yeah Grandma I go to church 5 or 6 times a week" lol ;D

Ha ha thats great...I do have the ability to put VHS video onto my computer if you ever want to make a dvd out of those...and well we'll never see the video Knarr has although i did like when i was behind you with him hanging out the window and all i could see was some red glow from your brake lights through all the white smoke >:D

I still haven't seen house's 240. All I hear are stories... I definately want to see it when I come home. Hook it up Whitey. (Along with that turbo civic race if you can)

Wow, don't know how I missed this thread. I like everybody else think TT-ing the KA is a retarded idea. Yea, it would be really cool to see and would draw mad attention if your buddy is a show go-er (which I have no problem with) but it truly would not be worth the effort/cost. Turboing the KA is a matter of opinion I guess. I personally don't like the way the KA revs, yea it does make good torque in boosted form, but you get that from truck motors. I would be more inclined to pull a trailor with my 240 than I would my Ranger :P I choose to go with the SR not because it was mad tyte jdm, but because it was an affordable, easy, viable solution for boosting my car, making more power and making it fun to drive. I thought hard about doing the RB swap and it wasn't really the cost that swayed me from it, it was the fact that the SR has way more support (as far as parts) here in the states than the RB does. That does not mean that those circumstances will not change because back when I first started thinking about doing the SR swap (before most of the noObs on here had their license) there was minimal support as far as parts go. That has changed dramatically. Once I finish the swap in my fastback..I would love to be able to afford the go out and buy a coupe and do and RB swap in that. I really should be out in the garage working on my ---- right now, but shoveling the snow from the driveway and watching the game own me :P

Just remember.....OPINIONS are like ASSHOLES, everbody has one, ultimately what you want to do is up to you, who gives A ---- about what a bunch of people on the internet think. So take everything you read with a grain of salt and just because somebody on the internet thinks they know it all and have done it all......well ::)

Re: turbo 240 sx
 

You pretty muched summed it up there.Is there any difference from the blacktop to the redtop?I was getting a parts list ready for a local that im doing a SR20 swap for and he says he can get a blacktop from a S14 for only a couple hundred more.I was doing some reaserch but I found little info in regards to the diff between them.

Re: turbo 240 sx
 

putting a s14 motor into a s13 is a bit different then a regular sr20 swap. the s14 motor has this weird vtc ---- but comes with a better turbo. there is a redtop n blacktop s13 sr20det then s14 was all blacktop except for the non-turbo sr20de... make sure u do more research before gettin the 14 motor. it bolts n the same n everything the wiring is just different then your average sr swap.
