That is will be awesome when your all done with it. My cousin has a late s14 that he swapped in a VQ35de and 6-speed trans from a 350z or G35c into. It is really fast....He is thinking about building a supercharger for it after he drove my buddy's Stillen G35c.

you dont need a header if you get a turbo kit.

imo the wing and body kit sound rice.

+1 What type of motor do you have/gonna swap?
You should think about going w/ a wider wheel up front if your doing a 10" wheel in the back. Maybe a 8.5 or 9" to compliment the 10". What offset are those wheels gonna be? Gonna have to be pretty low to make them fit under stock fenders.

 

[angie1313]

How about some specs on what it can do?

 

[kendon]

well, my first order of business with a red 240 would be to paint it black, but I see that is a hurdle you plan on clearing. there is also a black on white leather interior scheme that went into the 97-98 le models.... i think. would look super clean if u wanted to re-do most of the interior.

in any case whether you decide to keep the mini truck engine or go w/ the red or black top variables.... CONGRATS on an AWESOME ride!!!!!!11111!



it is a manual right?

right now he has a ka24de. thye are very strong motors i used to have a turboed ka. As far as the car goes you got a good base to start working on. Its a SE so you allready have the 5 lug spindels. please scratch the body kit and wing. If your sticking with the ka motor you dont need a built bottom end they have been pushed over 400whp with no problems at all on the stock bottom end and head. Put together your own turbo kit and use a enthalpy or jim wolf ecu with a safc on top to fine tune your fuel it will save you tons of money and aggrivation. If you want to know how to get 300hp out of a ka24 for 2k-3k pm me and ill tell you. to give you a idea of how cheap it is to turbo one my old s13 i made 220whp/250wtq at 8 psi on a t25 for about 1.5k. After i changed out some parts and put the t28 on i was at 300.

sweet man thanks he is right its a stock ka with the exception of 4" cat back exhaust, i ended up putting 17x7 on the front and 17x9 on the rear they cleared fine if i would have gotten bigger than 9 on the back then it would have been directly underneath the fender, its getting painted blue next week no worries im not putting a body kit, possibly a 97-98 conversion later after the engine work is done, and they only swap is going to be on my auto trans to a z33 auto trans or 6 speed

 

[2.0t03speed]

ok dont get the 6 speed s15 trans its a s*** transmission. All they did was take the existing sr trans and squeeze a extra gear into it. As far as the z33 trans i wouldnt do it unless your really going to make big power. You can finf a manual swap for pretty cheap. s*** i sold my old motor and trans together for 300 bucks. Ka motor's and trans's are everywhere because they come in alot of nissans lol. Go to the junk yard and find a wrecked 240sx should be too hard to find and pull the pedals and s*** off of it. There are writeups online of how to do it. Just search around on the 240sx forums.

ya im going for 400 plus, when i get back ill have almost 6 grand to drop in the motor/car in early 09

 

[2.0t03speed]

dunno if your going hit 400 plus with just 6 grand using quality parts. your going to need a t3 mani and turbo. Really the only mani's i would use on my ka if i did it again would bee the full-race ot the peakboost. Fmic,fuel system,downpipe,ecu,gauges,boost controller,vacume lines,bov,radiator,fans unless you want to use the bad stock clutch fan and thats just thinking off the top of my head.
