Sup everyone? This is my first post on this forum, but it won't be my last! Trust me. Anywho... I was wondering what is the best motor that you can swap into a 240SX in your opinion? Would it be the regular SR20DET swap or is there another engine that you can possibly fit in there? Thanx for your time and your opinions!

Well, the SR would probably be the easiest. As far as the sickest, a RB25 has been done, dunno if anyone has done a RB26 though. The RB motors would probably throw off the weight distribution as they are bigger and have iron blocks (pretty sure) vs. aluminum. BUT, if you can stuff one in and just care about going straight, you can make a TON of power with the RB motors.

What would u guess with the SR swap would a 240 run in an 1/8? And if I did go with the RB25 swap would I have to convert the car to a right hand drive? Considering it goes in a Japan-spec Skyline. Thanx!

All-aluminum Small Block Chevy with twin turbos, TH400 tranny, and narrowed Ford 9" rear end.

That would be sick, yes.

By the swap that I was talking about I meant with another Nissan motor. Not a domestic or anything like that.

I would say maybe more than you are willing to spend, say like.......20,000-30,000........just a guess here. But it would be very SICK.......LOL.

chit I got like 10,000 in my BB DET.

Hot d***! Yea that's just a lil more than I wanna spend. LOL So the SR20DET would be my best bet? What kinda times would I run in an 1/8 mile with the SR20 in a '95- '98 240?

I have no idea. Just remember that anything is possible with enough $$$$$$$$!

the most common swap is the sr20det in the 240sx. youd run 13's tuned... put out anywhere close to 250hp thats with a t25 or t28 turbo...


has a sr20dett ever been done? if so how possible is that?

i like the idea of a sr20vett, maybe even stroke and bore it out to a 2.2 or 2.3, hmm.....sr23vett. and yes that is a "V" not a "D"!

Thanx man. When buying the swap the best thing to get would be the front clip right? So I will have everything to make the swap as smooth as possible. Just checking. Thanx again.
