I M just planing to put a new engine on my 89 240sx but What would be the best engine we can put in there??? Like can we put one of the 300zx engine on them.. You all out there if you do know some stuff about this plz let me know

 

Theres a couple different engines that are common swaps for 240's. One of the most common is the SR20DET,one of the cheapest swaps is the CA18DET, you could also do any one of the RB series swaps(RB20DET, RB25DET, RB26DETT) the easiest would be the RB20, with the RB25 you would have to get a custom driveshaft and the RB26 is the hardest of the swaps, most the times you will either have to make your car RHD or upgrade it to a single turbo

 

Yo can put a 300zx engine, its called a VQ30. Ive never seen one done but i know u can do one, it would take sum modification. Its heavy though i will warn u, if u were ganna do a engine swap and dont want that much power then do sum research on the CA18DET, or the SR20DET. there is alot of info out on the internet

 

One thing I wanted to add, with the right amount of money, you can put any engine in there

 

but i realy want to make this car powerfull you know what i mean. Just want to build something mean in there but 300 zx engine as you said i like that idea

 

You should consider going RB25DET, I think it would fit better than a 300zx engine would, and you can get a **** load of power out of it with the right mods

 

what cars engine is that if you tell me it make my job easyer. So i can find it quickly

 

mmm i think thats skyline engine doesn't it )

 

Yea, it is a Skyline engine

 

You mean VG, the VQ is the new Z, Maxima, Altima, Pathfinder, and G35 engine. Yeah I know, it's easy to mix up. Anyway I've seen a VG30ET installed in a S13, something about DOHC VG's aren't able to fit with out extensive modifications due to width added with the heads..... RB is a MUCH better choice though.

 

man look at this what u think about price is it goood or too much

check the link you will see

 

thx im with stupid, i always mix em up haha, VQ..VG. yea ur lookign for a VG30 motor. First of all...ONLY get a Front clip...never get a motor set because u will be looking around for the parts that u need. Which leads to more money...

 

Yea, what Hyjynx said, also be carefuly where you send your money out too. I wouldnt trust anyone off of ebay enough to send them that much money, you also have to watch out for some companies that claim they can get them for you. Try to find out as much about the place you are ordering the clip from before you decide to send them your money. Look at previous posts, even check out other boards and talk to the members who have purchased clips in the past.

 

I just gotta say that you guys are all so patient! Beyond belief

 

im only patient when im calm
