AutoRnD's S13 5.0 Swap

[ca18drifter88]

A friend of mine has a 1UZ in his s13 and another guy here in town has a VH45 in his. I love my CA18 in my 13 and I love but damn that V8 sound is sex coming from one of these cars. Doritos are neat to hear from these as well.

[e320e98u]

they dont show the actuall engine, this is probably fake

[e320e98u]

okay i hate ford, thier cars and engines suck ass!! but thier new 5.0 DOHC V8 coyote engine is amazing, just listen to how it sounds, i want one, oh and 412hp stock!

[hunterdrummer5]

what does your exhaust package consist of?? Sounds splendid!!

[pwkid]

Thank the Lord for the Small Block Ford!

[nissan240driver]

mmmmmmm.....v8 nisssaaannn drooooolll

[777JesusDisciple]

hey what kind of electrical work did you need to do? doing a swap need help/tips

[doctorrobertsondc]

Anymore updates/videos/links onto what happened to this car? Love to see more 5.0's in some 240's.

[240sxv8]

Checkout my LT1 240sx its for sale. Mods and paint coming soon.

[SaintStyn]

POS

[jewboi718]

Whoever said a 5.0 is a pos can fall off a cliff. I don't see you making 1000+ Horsepower naturally aspirated. pshhhh....

[jb19941]

v8's in a 240 sound so right

[smmfnn]

So how do you solve the factory shifter being too short?



[toiletmonsta55]

fu ckin dope 240 buddy! man im jealous diggin those rims too

[toiletmonsta55]

fu ckin dope 240 buddy! man im jealous

[marksranger]

Now tht's a drift car!

[armeeno]

theyre selling this exact car for 4k on craigslist sf bay area

[kez850]

i think you need some more backup tires!!

[torquedown]

any one making mounts for the 5.0 cam in block. i think the DOHC or SOHC is too wide to fit?

[tree25is]

whats the specs on this motor/exhuast/ignition setup? got a build thread anywhere?

[jsnewyorker89]

I love the 5.0!!!

[CHVY4LNCH]

how did you get that engine to smack that rev limiter like that? that was a badd ass rev limiter!! sounds nice!!!

[SpikeRazzor]

Too bad this swap is rare, otherwise mounts would be easier to find. If I could get my hands on some I would jump on a decent 240sx and get that Modular into it.

[pwkid]

Is there a website detailing the swap?

[fuxbox]

bad fucking ass

[ok333]

is it a challenging swap?

[prodriver1]

lots of 350Z rims lying around! I'll take some:)

[ok333]

is it a hard swap ive always wanted to do it. bitchin set up btw

[ILikeToExplore]

man worlds first? <.< even i had this idea and im 17, cheap v8 thats plentiful, if you dont have the dough for an ls engine u gotta go for the 5.0 haha

[xxTheManCubxx]

yo i need sme tires......proll couldnt spare me any...lmao

[ILikeToExplore]

lol right?

[kumathebulldog]

N I C E

[SparkinNparkin]

So so sad. :(

[cornfields1988]

shit i would of done ls1 swap instead

[smmfnn]

@cornfields1988 ls1 swap cost 3-4 times as much lol.

[josh08336]

you put a pos ford motor in a nissan WHY?

[RicerX06]

because it's cheap and makes reliable power.... you don't need any more reason to not do it. it's not a pos engine by any means

[94STANG562]

pos engine???

the 5.0 is legendary dumbass hahah wat do you drive???

[johnwdillon]

a honda. he drives a honda

hahaha

[94STANG562]

a honda damn wat a shame lol

[uhhhhwhat]

@94STANG562 HAHAHA legendary? more like a throwaway idea gm decided not to use(mouse 302 which happens to be over 40 years old, and is still a far superior version of a 5.0 than fords silly small ported choked up boat anchor)

[gt500krful]

lol u must be an idiot lol learn about the engine before talkin shit lol ur juss like the other stupid ignorant ricers talkin outta their ass ricers.. the h.o isnt like the older ones lol

[uhhhhwhat]

@gt500krful obviously your bias has led YOU to be "ignorant and stupid". read my comment again and try to comprehend I know your lackin these skills but please try. ricer? hah no I drive a big bock malibu.

[gt500krful]

@uhhhhwhat lol sure u do lol u got any more lies u wanna put out there?

[e320e98u]

@94STANG562 the new 5.0 is legendary, V8 DOHC, 412hp, about 400pounds weight. this is legendary. old 5.0 not so much...

[DemoFly]

@josh08336 Horsepower, torque, same weight, same fuel economy.

[NotMLG]

windows are badass too

[leftrightbandit]

this swap is a disgrace.. to JDM

[thatguythatisfamous]

i agree on that

[camarostangornothin]

I wonder did it bolt right up or wat all mods did you have too do to get it to work.

[chuyluvdrift]

hey men i been thinkin in doing 5.0 but i just dont know if is going to be alot of hastle.you get more hp for the $ on v8 sr20 are to much $ for the swap and parts are 3 times more $ than v8.

[FuZiiOn1]

i am goin to do dat!!

well hopefully!

got a 302 in my 85 gt stang!

=]

[k1ngzsta]

sounds mean. will go way harder then a SR20. V8 engines are the future of drifting.

[1993nissan240sx]

Nice. I also like the wheels on the back,if anyone knows what they are please share.

[shally2186]

i want them Rear wheels!!

[jurasos]

awesome s0und ! awesome ccar !!

[95gt]

amazing car and sounds sick

[sLidEwAyS4]

I like your tire collection.

[bpowersman5000]

I think thats cool.

[ROXTAR229]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! i feel sorry that the S13 had to go through so much torture!!! *tear*

[hector62892]

@ROXTAR229 are you kidding. haha more like..yes I finally have torque! No more sr20's.

[BarelyLegal23]

nice swap...light sleek car with great handling, and a shitload of displacement to play with. id say go ls1, but 5L is a good bang for ur buck...as long as u do the swap urself cus labour wud b alot lol

[Rikiru]

Can you post your corner weights? I assume not, most people "claim" that they haven't thrown off the cars original balance but they have no numbers to back it. Still, a cool swap, but you've ruined the ONLY advantage the 240SX had : weight balance. And, don't give me that crap about how alloy blocks weigh less than iron, iron blocks are made much thinner because they have more inherent strength which offsets the higher density...

what were those corner weights again? U don't know? Nevermind.

[cody1591]

holy crap snapshow shut up :P

[plobo412]

Ummm...im pretty sure that alloy weighes less then iron.

[lickeyman]

ls1 + t56 is 10 lbs more than ka24 and 5spd.

Thats peanuts and you get another gear. If you swap an rb the rb actually weighs more.

Your forgetting a pushrod v-8 is very compact and efficient.

[Rikiru]

But, this isn't an LS1, it's a Ford 5.0

[lickeyman]

sb fords don't weight all that much more. The weight difference in the lsx between the iron and aluminum blocks is around 60lbs.

If they used the t-5 behind the 5.0 it weighs less than than the t56 used with lsx.

Go look up how heavy a RB is with all the jazz like turbos etc etc. I'd almost bet the 5.0 is still lighter.

[Rikiru]

"All that much more"...i like how you try to add in "turbo weight" twice for an "RB Swap"..Geezzz, even 50 lbs is nearly 1/7 more and it STICKS OUT THE FRONT MUCH FURTHER THROWING OFF THE CORNER BALANCE. Why don't we see LS1 powered S13-S15s in pro drift?? EXACTLY, because they can't be controlled very easily, just like every American muscle car POS.

[jlicb4c]

"THROWING OFF THE CORNER BALANCE""American muscle car POS"

Ok wait just a second. How the fuck is an inline six with nearly the same bore size not longer than a v-8. Remember now the v-8 is only as long as a big I-4.

And because of the "fanboi" mentality you have. There are plenty of lsx powered vehicles. And american muscle mustangs, chargers etc etc.

[SpikeRazzor]

@jlicb4c NICE! Love it when these fanboys get schooled by someone who knows what there talking about. I said the exact same thing in a similar video, F&F has got these kids all gassed up with this JDM purity bullshit. When the chips are down and they realizes just how much money it cost to buy all this overpriced crap to keep there cars pure, they end up selling there cars claiming "need money for school" in the add.

[74duster86]

@Rikiru Hey if your a skilled driver it doesnt matter. But if you can't drive worth a shit then that's when you go on about weight and handling

[NaTaKuBoI444]

sounds mean as fuck..

[lancer013]

i did a swap like that with a 350 wondering what kind of raditor u using email me

[opiumrx]

gratz you fucked a great car up...

[yoman2002]

I have a mustang cobra, i want to swap in a honda 1.6 sohc non-vtec with 115hp. haha

[drifter1980]

i would way rather have that sound than the annoying little pinging of a 2.4 l bouncing off the rev limiter. sounds like hes got his rev limiter on the 5.0 set a little low...

[boredyo777]

ford=fail

[thefallofvince]

5.slow

[punchdrunkatheist]

With a 302 the weight ratio of a 240 sx is only slightly different than with a KA, stfu about the weight up front issue. With an ls1 you actually lose weight up front. Is it so hard to understand that just because the engine has larger displacement it doesn't have to weight tons more?

[spraynpray]

Will you have my babies? People don't understand that an aluminum pushrod 6 liter can be lighter and smaller than a 2.0 liter iron block with 17,000 overhead cams.

[punchdrunkatheist]

I will totally have your babies.

[spraynpray]

Sweet, v8 babies.

[punchdrunkatheist]

Hell yes.

[spraynpray]

My friend got some truck iron block version of an LS-1 for his 240. I started to mock him for getting iron block, but if he gets it running... it's fuckin good enough!

[punchdrunkatheist]

I'm trying to find a cheap ls1 for my 240 right now.

[spraynpray]

Good luck man, I have a mid 90's vette with an LT-1. Chevy and Nissan are the only companies that I trust. Nissan with the I4, I6, and V6, and Chevy with the V8's.

[matthewchan]

would love some more info on the swap. i want to do the same thing....

[jfoxx88]

wow what a waist of a car...out of all the motor swaps you could do to a 240 you f up the car by putting a 5.0....hope you have no plays but to drive in straight lines....

[Brismo7]

your a fag, shut up...

[ghostcivic99]

um dude im a import lover and i have to say that was prey sweet! its best of both worlds right there. so what its what he likes. didn't your mom teach you if you aint got nothing nice to say don't mutha fucking say it! ;) have a nice day...

[eje0100]

Awesome!

AutoRnD FTMFW!!!

[adampope64]

not bad, sounds mean, but I gota agree with khmerthug0 to a degree. V8's dont belong in a 240

[chrisss240sx]

that shit looks amazing

[lilbbee]

holy shit...i got the same body kit...looks hella nice...

[sideshowstarter]

hella tight

[khmerthug0]

fucked up a good japanese car

[buck19]

You're such a closed minded fool. It's not your car so get off yourself! Nissan's are all I've been working on since before anyone knew what the JGTC was and this car is badass!

[joakerowns]

wats JGTC. technically it's not a nissan. doesnt have the nissan heart (engine). gunna be to heavy up front, causing gay understeer

[johnnyny516]

the exhaust note on ford motor puts the sound of any LSx to shame...

props for something different

[Timothayyy]

Shoulda gone with a small block, lol

[pjomc]

sounds great! cool rear rims! wich model are those?

[juelzsantanna]

thats is awesome man... hope you scare the shit outtta those other import mofos with " cat backs" and blah blha blha...

again nice job... i wanan do that one day...

[anth4484]

i'll sell you a thunderbird turbo coupe that has that exact same motor swapped into it for a grand! please someone call me or message me!. i'm tryin to get rid of this thing.

[juelzsantanna]

what motor is it?

[Inabj2]

SO whats the point of custom work to swap a 220 hp engine? Just for the noise it makes?

[RicerX06]

Stupidest. comment. Ever. lol

[dorifto91]

you do know that the stock s13 sr20det engine makes around 210hp right? the s14 at around 220? ask yourself why people do that swap then.

its not about the sound. its about being original. this car is like a prototype for other people who want to do this swap. and you'd be suprised at the poetential of this engine.

[ballenwallen]

nice car

[killswitchny]

pretty bold to state the worlds first.not the first 5.0 240 ever, but beautiful job. seriously.

[JYangS14]

Not only are all the Honda and DSM guys jumping on the 240 bandwagon. Now all the Chevy and Ford guys are gonna jump on too now.

[DeathAndMajesty]

Yep and inflating the price.

[jmkogut]

That's actually quite impressive. I'd love to know how much work went into that.

I currently own a '91 240SX SE Coupe, and I'm looking for engines to swap. I've been leaning towards the RB25DET, but it just doesn't sound mean enough. Now a 5.0 engine, on the other hand, probably makes those honda fags piss themselves.

[donuts13]

not all people that have hondas are fags i got a 289 in mine rwd thats what makes people piss themselfs and it took almost 1 and a half years to get it running right b/c that little 4 banger didnt do anything for me and its in a del sol

[ManuelDr]

nice to know go honda!

[mrmrk27]

Oh my god, some of you cunts sound so dumb, with your poor grammar and spelling mistakes. Get an education you illiterate little cunts.

Yeah get and education...

[fishpunk06]

cnut

[mrmrk27]

Ha, I spelt an wrong. I put and by accident.

[XMcEvilson]

yeah you should get an education, you little cunt.

[1angryyoungman]

Omg,some of you cunts sound so dumb,with your poor grammar and spelling mistakes.Get an education you illiterate little cunts.

[bboystylus]

So how are things going with this car? I can't seem to find any info on it still...

[IamSuperMario]

what rims in the back

[Fuzzydicerule]

SWEEEET, finially a japanese car with a REAL engine

[thizz4151989]

that niggas sick.....hey s132sk the sr20 would sound weaker than a 5.0 import engines sound like weak ass fart machines nigga muscle sound like....well muscle

[pizziolaa]

fuck what anyone else says at least you had the balls to try something different, nice car man keep up the good work =]

[fallzchurch87hustla]

Man wat wuz yall thinkin when u swapped dat motor u are an discrase to import and muscle cars!!!! Idiot!!

[durnando]

umm its called "import guys testing it out" before they pull out and start doing donuts like dumb muscle heads.

[JF9XL]

WHEELS = AME CIRCLAR RS

[brnape]

[dirtierkings]

....... yah ......?

[JF9XL]

WHAT MODES ON THAT 5.0

[s132sk]

nice car, shud of left it sr20 it would of sounded nicer

[dizzazter]

[killerlexus]

NOW LETS SEE A VIDEO OF THE ENGINE

[SlidinS14]

[IronRaptr9241]

Now let's see you turbo that ho!

[camobronco351]

Nice nice. But just like import guys do just sit and redline revv... lol nice car.

[dorifto91]

that was nowhere near redline.

[NVturbo]

I don't really care for V8's much but that sounds N A S T Y!!!

[Sparco66]

[c0rpse1]

[premos12]

[CleanSfourteen]

Found On Road Dead... Fuck Old Redneck Dickheads... Fix Or Repair Daily.

All i have to say is, why ford??? your car tho, and it does sound mean,

[sheshd]

good on ya, that swap is soo dmn fine, dude probably shits himself jus trying to get into 3rd.

[greenvelvettractor]

This clip sucks. Show the engine!

[RPS13Doug]

[driftnut]

[MTX450]

Ha, remind's me of "Tokyo Drift" with the mustang with the RB ^_^

[BosnianTerrorist]

the mustang didnt have the rb it had the sr20

[DonBukka]

WOW man...that is sick.

[iamagreatguy]

hey wigglerx, what is your affiliation with AutoRnD? do you work there? just trying to figure out who this is because your voice obviously isnt rishie, dana, or michael.

[Grdevs24zero]

Props to who did the swap, definately pioneering the 240 swap scene. I'll join soon with an LS1.

[four08]

haha.. moded

[Ey0ItzSteve]

Hey, kid. Word of advice. If you gonna ride rims, you might as well get 4 of the same kind. Damn ricers don't know anything.

[wigglerx]

AutoRnD has tons of wheels in their shop. While the car is in the shop, they often try many different wheel fitments at the same time. (Go here -> http://www.autornd.com/catalog­/thumbnails.php?album=1 to see a gallery of wheels) and check out the next issue of C-16 Autostyle to see an article on this car.

[mystery715]

dude thats wat makes the car look kool difrent rimes domeass

[Dannyroadkillfilmz]

sounds sick, deff different. like to see it move.

[masterbasser002000]

this has to be just as stupid as trying to drift a togue with a rb powerd mustang

[eurocrisp]

Congratulations, you've just proved your ignorance.

[masterbasser002000]

so have you, and this video has just proved it

[wigglerx]

Because as well all know, true drifter 'drift a togue'....isn't that what Initial D taught us? lol

[ambitious5567]

damn that sounded nice 5.0 liter man that's big engine and strong
