600HP s13 240sx

[DANGTHATSUCKS]

Whats with the KA and Sr and RB fight? Forget all of them and drop the 2J in that sucker

[sofargone561]

@DANGTHATSUCKS thats wut u plan o doing

[DANGTHATSUCKS]

@sofargone561 I was but I sold it and bought a 2000 gsxr 750

[sofargone561]

@DANGTHATSUCKS hahaha nice i want a 2jz 240 so bad but i also want an fd rx7 so well see what happens, i love bikes but ill get killed on one i dont trust myself lol

[DANGTHATSUCKS]

@sofargone561 Haha true. They are dangerous. Fd's are real nice but everyone I talk to that has one they always complain about how they end up smoking real bad???

[sofargone561]

@DANGTHATSUCKS ya i bike is something i love and respect but dear a little to much to buy maybe if i live in the moutains somewhere but not in Florida ya i hear a lot of negatives i just love the look but i cant have both it will either be 2jz 240 or rx7 and as far as this economy goes the 2jz is better for so many different reason and 240sx is a dime a dozen in south fla so thats another plus but hey a 2jz 240sx is still something special hahaha

[DANGTHATSUCKS]

@sofargone561 You live in florida?

[sofargone561]

@DANGTHATSUCKS actually currently I live in Germany I and moving back to Florida in about 3 weeks.

[DANGTHATSUCKS]

@sofargone561 Heck yea. I stay in Florida. A town called palatka. About 45 minutes south of Jacksonville

[sofargone561]

@DANGTHATSUCKS hahh thats awsowe i stay in palm beach county its pretty far from their

[xAtreyuAlesanax]

this is kind of off the wall....

Does anyone know where the 240's were built? were they actually made in Japan or were they built in one of the US plants? I've looked all over the internet and nothing really has a straight answer.

Thanks! =]

[Born2BuBalla1]

the american 240sx here were built in mexico. Aguascalientes to be exact if im correct

[xAtreyuAlesanax]

Oh, thank you!

Do you know if that's true of the hatch and coup or just the hatch?

[Born2BuBalla1]

both 89-98

[scrfce123]

The 240SX (200SX and 180SX in Japan), were assembled in Japan. It wouldn't surprise me if the KA24E engine used in those cars was cast in Mexico though.

[Born2BuBalla1]

yeah the 200 and 180sx's were all japaneese made. but the u.s. 240 was mexican made. i did a deep research before i bought my s13 :)

[scrfce123]

I've heard that they were assembled in Kyushu, Japan. I doubt that Nissan had a manufacturing plant in Mexico during that period, but I could be wrong.

I am pretty sure that the Tida is currently assembled in Mexico.

[Born2BuBalla1]

or decode the vin number to really know where it came from lol

[Energonorama]

love to see someone stop at 400bhp and make it ultra uber super reliable so you could safely abuse it

[scrfce123]

It is 'ultra uber super reliable' at 600hp; provided you use the right conrods, studs, bearings and pistons. SR20DET is one of the strongest 4 cyl blocks out there.

[Energonorama]

I dunno... that's a 200% increase in power!

[scrfce123]

There are SR20 blocks out there that can handle a 500% increase in power. We're talking 1200 HP here!

[Energonorama]

yeah but when you say "handle" do you really mean 'will work a few times and then blow up'?

[scrfce123]

At 1200 HP it is only logical to imagine that the engine would be torn down and inspected after every run. At 600 HP it would be a different story; Pretty much first time, every time (provided it is built right). Lets not forget that a big V8 can take 600HP, yet it has an almost identical big end to a 4 cyl motor..

BTW, The SR20 has oil jets, a crank girdle and many other features that make it one of the toughest 4 cyl engines.

[Energonorama]

I doubt 600bhp sr20dets last more than a year with moderate use. That's 300bhp per litre, virtually the same as an F1 engine!

600bhp V8s have double the cylinders and probably triple the displacement (~6litres) they've got to be less stressed than an SR.

I like the ca18det better anyway!

[scrfce123]

I beg to differ. Hills Motorsport have built an S15 that has been running 575 RWHP for ever. It is a daily driver too.

Yes, a high displacement V8 is less stressed than a conventional 4 cyl motor - but that is because there is a larger space between bores - so the journals can be made stronger. With an SR, the crank is held in with a girdle which adds considerable reinforcement.

The CA18 is a terrible engine compared to an SR20. Just look at the specs for each.

[Energonorama]

na, bet they change all the gaskets on it weekly etc Also it will be running a big turbo which is where ALL the power is coming from.

Essentially V8s are 2x inline-4s, and are bigger thats why they make more power it's not the space between the bores.

CA has an iron block, SR is aluminium. CA also has a direct action valve train and SR doesn't. CA is basically an RB engine with 2 cylinders chopped off, they stopped making it as it cost too much.

SR is bigger than CA and a worthy successor.

[scrfce123]

Whats wrong with aluminium?

Concerning the SR20, the whole engine is aluminium - therefore thermal expansion between components remains relative. This means that an SR is unlikely to blow a head gasket. In contrast, the CA has an iron block with an aluminium head. Headgasket failures are common.

By the way, the SR has a better valve-train, IMO - The hydraulic followers found on the CA get very noisy after a while.

BTW, dont get me wrong, the CA isn't a bad engine.

[Energonorama]

Iron is stronger but anyway I like both, however because I have a ca18det at the moment it's my favourite! You have to change the oil regularly though, maybe the big ends...

I also think the CA suits the little S13 better, fast reving, old skool boosting and for the price of a bag of peanuts you can hit 60 in under 6 seconds and nudge 150mph! You don't really need more for the road.

I don't think the 1.8 CA would work in an S14/S15 though, they're heavier, newer and Id hope better designed.

[nitrousboy0311]

I beg to differ a CA18 with 700hp will last longer than a SR20 with 600hp Sr20s are shit CA18S are the way to go.

[scrfce123]

Ever heard of sleeves?

I like the CA because it is revvy, but the SR is the way to go if you want to make huge power. Infact, I cant find one single justification for using the CA. If you want to have a cast iron block, just use an FJ20...

BTW, the mods found on a 700HP CA would get an SR up to at least 1000 HP.  I've found that all CA owners try and talk down SR's; but CA owners are just full of shit. Hahaha.

[NicholasBouchard]

@Energonorama it all depends on how the engine is built. if it has a forged rotating assembly, metal headgasket, lower compression ratio, higher flow oil pump and water pump, cams, valves, valve springs, stage 3 or higher clutch, beefy tranny, then you got a recipe for high horsepower in any engine.

[emill910]

what turbo?

[arabrockerman]

What I want to know what transmission is there an adapter to the tremec? that would be my tranny of choice.

[arabrockerman]

Yep thats kinda easy to get out of the sr

[matthewchan]

holy backfire batman! what kind of turbo is that???? does the local bus comp know u took that thing???

[johntran]

track beast! perfect wangan car ahha

[Tommy8627]

isnt it a rb25 /26 ??? a sr20 at 600 hp it whould be kinda dumb to spend 15 k on sr when you can put 5k on a rb's to get the same amount of hp !

[nissanisledgend]

no its an sr20

[estar334]

yea man he's right it is a sr20 but you probaly would be spending 15k for an rb26 with engine + labor + parts to make it 600hp

[nitrousboy0311]

Yeah but what happens when you break something parts arent cheap for rb26 and it will take awhile for new parts to get to the us...

[jdmjm]

Also another key point to consider between the engine differences is that the sr is a much lighter engine than the rb..

[RCD608]

fuckkkk it says it could 177 :D. probably more on the road if it has the right suspension and aerodynamics.

[dajtodap]

its not good to tie down a wild beast like that, let that thing loose.

[STEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ]

STEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[nitrousboy0311]

Nice 25psi on sr20 :D

[leafsplayer]

haha boost gauge

[pooguys]

it was alsom amagin it on the street

[Michaelation08]

20psi boost man now thats the best suicide note ever!

[mccaf2250]

A properly built and tuned Sr20 can handle 25psi of boost with few problems and lots of power.

[RAWfart]

how much does a set up like this cost?

[mccaf2250]

I have a setup like this running 18psi of boost but in a b13 sentra se-r and it cost me about $8k but that is doing all the work myself.

[NoFL88]

now thats a big turbo

[PROJ3CTX]

how much money u got in that engine?

and wat kind of turbo is that, did u change the internals as well?

[envythisRoadRunner]

does it have a sr20det or something else?

[Ripzta13B]

SR20 DET mate w/ aftermarket single turbo.

[pooguys]

i think 240 sx's are the best drifters, at least thats what ive seen and heard

[faekz]

ae86 hachi roku corolla! 240s are right behind them 4age awsome little engine

[denko44]

240's are just a good drift platform, goods specs on the chassis and fairly cheap to build, There ARE cars that are better for drifting, but in order to build a that car up you need to give a arm and a leg, and maybe your left nut too...lol

[vtecboi18]

its more then just a drift platform anything thats rwd pretty much is good the reason i say its more then a drift platform is cuase u got guys droping in rb25 and rb26 engines and v8s so really u can do anything with that car

[darkarsenal]

i have a dream...

of making a 240sx VQ35DE possible TT if i can fit it and get it working

and drive it around the nurburgring :D

Seksi, Seksi

[gizmoeric]

yo man i got a sr20det inma pull the boost to 30psi and get like 500whp yo ima goona be doing mand type doriiiiiiiiiiiiiifto

[fonzell]

your an idiot =/

[gizmoeric]

how can you not notice the sarcasme?

[fonzell]

lol my bad dude i just really hate "mad drifto" posers to the point were its racist

[ficklefackle]

ivans ka24de-t>professional race machine LMAO

ivan owns at 9.15 with an automatic ka24 :) i guess u cant argue with nitrous injected 43psi boost

[redclayearth]

the torque is over 1350... whoa

[EMG4Life]

nm?

[Bwade175]

daammmmnnnn if that S13 is pushin 600hp then I can't wait to soop up my S15

[WheelChairBasketball]

and "soop" you shall

[EMG4Life]

imo if you got an s15 ill put my pubes up on ebay and give 20k to the one who buys it. dumass ricer.

SOOOP IT UP WIT DAH NOZZZZ AND ILL GET A STEERING WHEEL WITH RED NOZZ BUTTONS HEALZ YEAYA

[dorifto91]

video yr s15 shithead. and dont "soop" it up. tune it. matter of fact, sell it and dont touch a set of keys again for saying that

[GunmetalSR]

yo dont tell him wat not to do...itll be so much better when he learns the hard way and blows his motor XD

[dorifto91]

true ahah

[ozdrift94]

lolololololo

[sithlordsoup]

ka?

[sithlordsoup]

nvm its sr20

[Chubbza5]

that looks like it's gonna fly off the dyno

[666USA]

i hear a fucking plane LOL lol

[DeathAndMajesty]

Yea that is a REALLY usable power band.

[encinaj]

haha seriously

[spoolinperformance1]

your guys's tie downs scare the shit out of me
