Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
I still keeping my 00 civic si, but im gearing it to be a high 14's daily driver. i will be keeping my t3/t4 from my rev kit and intercooler and stuff.
the plan?? to purchase a used solid body blown motor nissan 240sx. preferably 89-93 in good condition. swapping a full s13 sr20det in it. then changin that ----- ass t25 it comes with to a t3 flange custom 3inch stainless dp and exhaust. act clutch and putting down 20psi on it. im aiming for a nice 12 second car that can drive straight as well as at 120 making turns. the whole picture?? figuring i have most of the pieces i need and that i already have my eyes on the perfect donor car. about 5G or less on a 12 second fake sylvia. doing a body conversion and all, painting it solid pearl white. what do you guys think? hondas are just getting old for me. |
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
blah I hate 240's.. even if they did have power the cars are still gay. I work on them all the time and they dont impress me at all.
Why not go with a TT 300zx? or a FWD SER Sentra? Jeff |
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
pretty much just cost jeff. i would really love the 300zx. i want to build something that will run 12's handle nicely and not involve me cuttin up sleeves and rebuilding with gods graces.
you know them motors handle the boost like champs. i agree though, its a wierd looking car, however mine shall be PIMP!!!! im just bored with hondas. |
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
Hey I just found out about this site yesterday and like what I see!! My question is I own a '91 nissan 240sx super HICUS and want to turbo the 2.4L twin cam engine, and would like to know if any one has done this? I realize this is a Honda site but there are other good cars too, so please no BS about why I don't own a Honda.

Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
Yeah it's been done, "Modified Mag" is doing it as their current project car. Pick up their March '03 issue to see them get started (just putting clutch on it and laying out the plans).

Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
300zx TT is a bitch to work on.
jeff u should know hah. |
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
I'd pick the SE-R.
mmmmm, sr20de power I've always wanted on of those...... |
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
Bah.. My roommate has 2 240SXs, he's turboing one of his KAs, and he's going to SR the other one.. I think the whole "240" thing is overrate anyway. They're big heavy cars. Plus, you're talking about a market of modification that is going to cost you a years salary for OE replacement oil cap. There just isn't a market in the US for 240s. I know this first hand..
But, whatever, when my SOHC is done, and I'm running 13s, and you and my roommate and sitting on the side lines because you're waiting for your exhaust manifolds to be floated over by bost form Japan.. We'll see who's laughing. ;D |
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
In case you havn't noticed there is a rather large number of people modifying 240's not quite as many as the honda camp but its getting there. You can turbo a KA24D(E) rather easily homade style just exhaust manifold might cost ya a nice penny as there is no universal style STD manifold used on honda's. It would be same basic routine in installing a homade turbo kit on a honda cept well on a 240. If you cant find any information here PM me or you can find the NICO forums on www.240sx.org there you would find information on all 240's including the crazy monster AWD RB26DETT S13. Have fun :)

Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
Hit up a hard body sr20 swap.. those are goofy yet cool
|
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
Screw the sr20det its like a b16 be original and creative try a rb20det or ca18det those are bound to be fun. Also if you need any more info nissan related you should try out http://www.nissanperformancemag.com its a pretty decent online zine :)

Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
CA18DET and RB20DETs aren't even in the same league as the SR... SR=performance RB20=family car CA=economy
sure, all three have their strong points... but the SR is the best hands down. the VG30 on the other hand is very cheap, has a 1.74 rod ratio, a great all-around motor, very common and pretty compact... sure, it's not that easy of a swap and it's a bitch to work on them... but that's the engine i would do... either that or a mazda rotary. |
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
Sr's cant compare to rb's and ca's they are in their own league .CA's are not meant for economy they were 1st gen silvia k's engines they have iron blocks and have been taken to 600+ hp and are rev happy wh0res. RB20's were not made mostly for family cars although they were enviromentally friendly i would take 2 more cylinders any day. The RB20 might be a bit weak so maybe a 25 considering they have been taken to extremly high hp numbers and with minor ecu adjustments can easily top to 300 hp. ;D

Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
speaking of the TT 300Z a friend of mine just picked one up for $3000. Itis in rough condition considering it was vandalized but the engine is in great condition and the turbos spool up great. The interior is thrashed no seats , t-tops blah blah but hell its $3000 for a TT 300Z i will try to post some pics when we can
|
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
3000 seems a big much for a dirty title 300 what year is it? :D
================================================== ============= Wait nvm you said TT im a dork :D |
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
I believes its a "94" not really sure i can find out
|
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
thats really not a bad price, it might need some work, but if it runs good, thats sweet. how many miles? i have seen 91 TT's go for like 8 or 9 grand with tons of miles on them, in only fair condition too. those suckers hold their value. even the NA ones are hot as hell in the summer time

Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
I work on Nissans everyday at work, and they have very well built motors, the VG/SR/VQ/CA/KA are all great engines. The QR I am still a bit worried about since we have had a few problems with the bottom ends on them, even though they look pretty beefie.
Yes shortyz, the 300zx tt, is a bitch to work on, it really depends on what you are doing. Alot of the times you can get ---- out without removing stuff, I can get almost every injector out without removing the intake manifold :P Timing belts and trannys are also pretty easy. As far as Turbo removal, it looks like a complete bitch, and flat rate shows something like 9.0 per side or something, So I am sure its a complete bitch, never tried. Jeff |
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
Hey jeff i know you have come across a fwd SR20DE a couple times with 5th gear popout. What are the parts that you are supposed to replace in order to fix that problem? :D

The RB20 might be a bit weak so maybe a 25 considering they have been taken to extremly high hp numbers and with minor ecu adjustments can easily top to 300 hp. CAs came in a lot of USDM cars, too. I have a stanza with a CA20E out in my bush... it's actually supposed to not be that different from the CA18DET aside from the head and ----... I noticed that the oil and water passages on the deck are bigger on the 20... I assume the 20 has even weaker cylinders. USDM S12 200SXs also have CA18ETs. RB20DETs... for making power, I hear that they're about equal to the SR... but the RB is heavier and ----... move up to a 25 and supposedly it's ten times better... heh... i never really even seen an RB in real life so ---- my opnion. :P |

Nope, havent had one yet.. I have done alot of clutchs in them, but never one popping out of gear.. Jeff |
Re:Rickys tired of hondas, time for the sr20det!
USDM S12 200SXs also have CA18ETs. |
