D16 + t56 trans to handle all the twork.



Click the build section and read. Shit even googling 240s swap will start you off.

or just go ahead with the d16 swap. Dont forget to hook up the vvti.

The first thing i would do is swap out that single cam and throw in a dohc ka24de. You could always swap for a bigger engine like a rb25/26 those are nice as well. But I'm a ka turbo person

[schoja]

you would save a lot of money just dropping a turbo on your car. Or buying a ka24de for cheap, then turboing that. But if you really want a bigger (better engine) I put that in parentheses because you can make any engine great with the right components, go with an rb25det. This has been done plenty of times, so any shop should easily be able to do it.

Im going to automotive school right now and not gonna lie still a but green but i would like to do it myself not only to save cash buy to learn as well I'm just curious what all i would need to do to swap a rb in it. And also how diy you hook up the slave cylinder up I'm doing a auto to manual swap on it but thanks guys

[aplut23]

Also are the internals turbo ready?

[aymaeid]

you really need to search man.

You can turbo a rb? I didn't think there was room left in the engine bay with those 2 extra cylinders.

If you go to the trouble of installing an RB engine that is naturally aspirated into your S-chassis then you've either got too much time and money or you're an idiot.

OP, you obviously don't know much about your options. If you come here expecting people to lay everything at your feet you are going to be flamed into oblivion. If you can sift through all the bullshit on the forum and use your own judgment then it is a good resource. The search function is your friend here.

These cars are pushing 30 years old. Every possible current engine swap choice has been debated, tried and then tried again. Spend some time with google.com. Do not expect handouts here.

These things are lego, you can pick nearly any swap and its probably been done and well documented. Hell, most swaps are basically bolt in now. Pick engine, order mounts, order wiring harness, order driveshaft, done.

just drop an sr20det in there and call it a day

[FuckWasted]

I agree with shorty.

Subscribed so I can read future funny comments.

Use Google. lol Just search "SR20 240sx swap", "RB20 240sx swap", "RB25 240sx swap", "LSx 240sx Swap", etc..

[sil80d]

Why don't you just leave the sohc in it. There is nothing wrong with a sohc

[Future240]

I suggest you spend some time getting to know the search button.
