yo what happen to this thread there was 4 or 5 of us? is mine the only one missing a v clamp from running. i have had hell getin a 3.5" v clamp. i bought one off ebay they sent me a 4". it didnt work. then i ordered a 3" because i thought the hx had a 3 out put but i ordered with a 3.5" but they come 3 or 4 what ever you want. so i get the 3 and its to small. then i notice the first flange was 4 not 3.5. but i used it all in the long run for my exhaust. and NAPA is charging 10.00 a port for my exhaust flanges and i had 4 out the junk yard for dollar or 2. this swap was easy i used the rb wireing guide. and my haynes book. it was easy and i used the ka lower harness with ka oil and manual oil pressure guage. maxima oil pan. i really wanted to go top mount but it stuck out the hood a little bit. did not want to cut it. but i may latter. still got clean up the swap this month really like see some other 500whp vg30e sohc 240's. total cost was 9k. still missing roll cage and seats and spoiler then i be good go hit some high way exits again. any one runs that big one for 80.00 off ebay? will it break in pieces? i still got my z31 with full z32 chassis. wait a year or so probly drop a qx56de in her. turbo oooooo yeaaaaaaaaahhhhh

ps: its all bout the work you put in you enjoy riding around in your art work who wants a 480hp sr20 tops 10 grand build or buy. with the same motor and body kit. ka are pos. when you can spend thousands and build your own. if you go to junk yard and floor the car till it blows it wont be no sr or ka. trust me. i have faith a vg30e could be around the top ones to last..

ps my car is roller painted sail blue for 10 bucks me and my home boy spent 2 days on it.

i 4got about this thread...u should post up pix mayb ull get more hits u only put up 1 in 3pages lol

NoPistons! · 03-10-2012, 02:02 AM

I didn't.

Haz:

Vg30 from maxima (full motor with cut harness pulled myself)

vg30 from z 31 (non turbo)

Front sump and rear sump pan. Hopefully dont have to mod more than i need to put flapper doors in to prevent starvation.

71c 240sx gearbox (putting new bearings, seals and syncros in)

71b (or 71a....i forget) bellhousing

6 puck

Junk intercooler and single turbo stuff

Waiting on:

Engine rebuild kit
resurfaced/used/lightweight flywheel
z31 turbo (later model) starter (dont think ka one works)
Plugs/wires
diy auto tune dizzy trigger wheel
diy auto tune msII
Diy auto tune log cable/ecu harness cable
255lb/hr hp pump
1:1 afpr
rx7 injectorzzzzz
piping/hose for radiator, intercooler, downpipe

Engine/tranny being fitted in bay as soon as i'm done with tubing the front end. However long it takes to get to that..... Stay tuned. Wont bolt right in but i'm going to mod the z mounts to make it work and just use stock tranny mount location. STILL sits further back than rb.

For the sake of being a cheap son of a bitch, i'm mounting the stock ka 240sx power steering pump on the drivers side of the engine. Factory location is passenger side. Turbo is being mounted on the passenger side of the engine due to wanting to keep intercooler piping short and not wanting to buy a "real" intercooler.

Already tore the maxi intake off but haven't removed the autotragic converter/plate or crossmember yet.

NoPistons! · 03-15-2012, 06:08 PM

Had to bash the lip on the firewall to hell to get the 300zx intake to fit with stock 240sx tranny mount in stock location. It will go no further back without cutting.

Tranny IS bolted in pics. stock crossmember. Stock maxi oil pan (may be subject to change. WIll try to get engine lower). HOPEFULLY stock z engine mounts. I haven't test fit those yet. Should be a fun little ride once all is said and done.

Made more sense to do THIS first THEN tube the front end. Lol.

rawlo · 03-15-2012, 10:26 PM

I say do it man it's all about what you like. I put one in my 510 and yeah is not a 240 but I was happy with the power it has.

It wasn't easy by any means..... In hindsight i would have been better off with a straight 6 but over the years i have grown to love these bbm (big beautiful motor) sluts.
