Is this type of swap possible? I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but my friend swears he's going to drop a 2jz engine in a 240sx. Please explain. Thanks.

 

why would anyone want to be so ridiculous. Maybe he meant an SR20DET. If he meant 2jz . You need to kick him in his head and tell him to stop watching Fast and the Furious. 2Gay 2Dumb.

 

Heh, true. Thanks.

 

So lets say he meant an SR20DET. What's the potential of making that fast, i.e.: how much will it take to break into the 12s? More or less than it costs to get an EG to 12s? Thanks again.

sigh, less. You can push 400hp on the stock block...

putting a 2jz in there would be a pretty big waste of time and money when the sr20det is a fine engine and bolts right in.

 

not so hard to get them to 12's

when dropped its like low 14's and with the turn of a **** instant 13's on stock everything....

 

it doesn't take much to get into the 12's as a matter of fact it takes nothing more than the motor swap. a stock sr20 should get you into the 12's no problem with some decent tires(slicks). this is my friends car. all we've done to it as of this picture was sr20det swap, gutted interior, 6pt chromoly cage, greddy intake manifold, frount mount intercooler and piping, and a 30-40 shot. with the above setup he ran a 11.6 as shown in the picture w/ some 24" slicks and a 1.4 60' time on only 12psi of boost. the motor is now pulled and upgrading some internals including portnpolished head, new valves and guides, springs,retainers,cams, turbo manifold, turbo etc. nissans are dope.

here's another friends car, a 95 240sx that we just got up and running. pretty small motor more pics will be up soon, it's all put back together now w/ full interior and running good.

 

Very nice... Myself, I've heard low 14's are common for a STOCK (bone stock) SR20DET powered 240SX.

Been done in Thailand, and they even managed to squeeze a pair of TD06-25G's along side too.

 

Is engine swapping illegal to drive on streets? And is it possible to swap an RB26DETT engine in a 240sx?

 

anything i spossible... but that swap cost about 10k..... waste of money IMO

 

rb26dett takes some more work but a handful of people have done it last i checked. rb25det is a bit easier to put in.

i had a friend w/ a sr20det, all stock block, fmic, intake and full exhaust, he ran a 12.8 on street tires. at 14lbs of boost

yes indeed, like i stated it is a 10k custom job.. the firewall need to be modified ....

the rb25 is a RWD and are also a top choice as a sr20det....

 

What is the 1/4mile time for a 240sx with an sr20det?

 

everyhting stock.... at 7psi about mid to low 14's

 

tell him to put the 2jz in. and make sure he does it. that would be a awsome swap. iv seen it done on a rx7 done by sp engineering. (http://www.sp-power.com/projectcar_supra7.htm) doing that in a 240sx would be god like and fun as hell, but like most god like cars it just cost too much. id try it if i we're him. if hes serious. car=2000 engine=4500 custom ****=5000 im sure i could do it with the cash, maybe...

 

i don't know where you're getting your information but you are way off on several points. the complete swap can be had locally to me for 6,000$ w/ motor, tranny(of your choice), ecu, wiring, rear end, driveline, rear hubs and suspension, gauge cluster, intercooler and piping.

my friend picked his up for $5,000 and got the rb25 rear end and tranny so it's just rwd rather than awd. it is a stock rb26dett that bolted directly in. I kid you guys not, i'll take some pics w/ my crappy *** camera today if you guys don't believe me. we used the stock 240sx crossmember and absolutely no modification of the firewall was necessary so I don't know where you came up with that. I'm not trying to start an arguement but i doubt you(nor anyone else on here) has any personal hands on experience w/ this swap or a rb26dett at all. It has a full 5 lug rear end that bolted up as well from the rb25 style skyline. all in all he spend about 6000$ because he scored some tein 30way adjustable coilovers, blitz ecu, and other little crap like a twin disc clutch. It took him a while to do it cause he had to wait for the tranny to get here from japan but after all the parts were recieved it was put in in about 1 month and is running strong as of 4 days ago when we replaced the throwout bearing. Just need to get it register and tear up the streets on his 285/55/16" rx7 wheels w/ some meaty drag radials!!! also he's got the headlight conversion for the s14 going on, just need the fenders.

too much money in my opinion but not a difficult swap at all, just more rare. I'd say its no worse than the typical sr20det swap(which i've also done), i just hate dealing with big *** trannies and drivelines.

more pics soon!

what the blue **** are you talking about?

the 25 is a straight swap with the skyline crossmember and mounts. you can use a spacer for the transmission mount.

all you need is custom driveshaft and to wire it. i know people that have done it and i was aobut to buy my rb25 but decided to keep my 97 emissions legal and do somthing else.

the 26 can be used if you convert to single turbo and use the 25 transmission

i could get an rb25det swap running in my 240 for under 3500$ (with my hookup on the clip price)

you need to do some research before you go around spouting bullshit numbers like 10,000...

 

okay go call mckinney who do AWD conversion.... did i say anything about teh rb26dett being put as a RWD.. NO

and if you read the last line... I said rb25 the GTS-T which is also the TOP CHOICE like the SR20det....

if you ask anyone about the rb26 AWD conversion they will tell you that its a 10k job....

 

""" the 26 can be used if you convert to single turbo and use the 25 transmission """

this is wrong as well!!! everything else you said i agree w/ but this is 100% wrong.

my friends car is still twin turbo and uses stock manifolds, turbos, and intercooler piping, the only thing we need to do is make some 3" downpipes.

these guys have a RB26DETT engine in a 240sx, it hits mid to low 12s. total sleeper!

 

i don't really advise used rotarys, just my 2 cents.

I think hes talking about the RB26DETT

In japan there are several cars with this swap.

It takes alot of work and most 180 gurus say its not worth it.

12s is super easy for a SR20Det I know two people here in Hawaii running 11s on a daily driven/drifted 240s

 

You guys went a little off-topic here which is cool, but I wanna know how much are we talking about to be able to put a 2jz in a 240? A rough estimate would be helpful thanks.
