damn i wasnt thinking 10 haha i guess u guys are right so what motor would u recommend to get me going sideways pretty good and how much would the motor run me about and how much to install that and all the parts i should get to make me get the best powere

TypeX180

the cheapest is probly gonna be the CA18 (turbo 1.8..think mini RB20)

SR20DET
RB20DET
KA-T
RB25DET

these are the most comomn..but, you could also put a V8 in it..there are lotsa Chevy powered 240's..use the search button..its your friend. its all about what suits you and your budget
like i said..i did all mine for like 3200 or so..but, i ran out of money for wheels and coilovers..

potoeski16

so id prolly get the most power out of the rb25 though

TypeX180

not always..ive seen 750WHP SR's..its all about the money

I would suggest driving the KA first, learning how to drift/drive RWD before swapping. Make sure you practice drifting at actual events or in wide open areas where you cannot hurt yourself or others. No one likes the douche that wrecks his car "drifting".

TypeX180

^^^this too..we like to beat the **** out of the jack-*** thats "drifting" his car into ours..not fun

just because you seen a few video's and drive a 240..which probly doesn't have lsd..doesn't make you a drifter

yeah but how much would it cost me to get it up to 725 hp, yeah i was planning on practicing on it... i came to the forum trying to figure out the best motor for my car... i really want to make it fast one for having a good time doing it 2 for drifting 3 to have a nice car that people want to stop and look at

potoeski16

idk how to drift yet but im starting to practice in big open parking lots with noone around... i really want to figure the art of drifting out and become really good at it with a fast *** car

TypeX180

725 is WAYYYYY to much for drifting..thats an insane amount of power..i slide mine around just fine at 265..do you have LSD?

potoeski16

uh...idk its a 1998 se 5speed coupe

potoeski16

haha ur prolly saying to urself this kid is F^%king retarded

TypeX180

nah..some people aren't as into it as i am..its all good..i won't flame you..but you need LSD..or a welded diff..that needs to be first on your "Drift" list

then..i would just go pratice with the KA..**** it..once you get better, start building it

potoeski16

so would an sr20det(s14) be a good motor it has around 220hp...like how much do u think i would need to get that done?

urmyhero4now

TYPEX180 sorry bro ima flame his ***...he needs it....GO ****IN DO RESEARCH YOU DUMB ****...STOP PLAYING LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT....i dont mind when you come here asking questions and say it up front you dont kno what the hell you are talking about....but when you start bull****tin your way around the forum expecting us to believe you? cmon.

What he's ^^ trying to say is. You need to do research, you dont know enough about your car to even consider modifying it. Once you get a better grasp on your vehicle it'll be time for you to upgrade. Until then, READ READ READ.

Try attending some SCCA AutoX events to learn how to drive properly.
700hp is way to much for anything but driving in a straight line once a month.
Just go browse the forums when ever a topic sparks your intrest read about it.

This website will answer many of your questions about general parts, start by searching "Limited Slip Differential" or LSD for short.

Good luck on your adventure to not being a noob or a ricer. Dont get scared off. See you around.
