I guess no one noticed, but this guy hasn't replied back in months..
I don't see there being any responses to this thread from anyone with any real info. |
he's still around...
he sent me an email after my last post |
justin b i currently own a sr powered 240sx and I am a Nissan enthusiast. and i think it is a wonderful idea to do the V8 swap u can make it way meaner with way less money perfect for drag
|
This reminds me of the popular swap for Miata's. (Well, maybe not popular, let's just just say around...) You can put a 302 (5.0L Mustang engnie) into a Miata. The car is fast, but it doesn't handle well... how is this car going to handle with a big v8?

Originally posted by DroptopDrifter Yeah those are sweet, they're called Monster Miatas, and from what i heard the conversion is done with a automagic transmission. :bigok: |
Auto tranny? BOOOO!!!!!!
yea that's what i'm sayin... if i did any kind of v8 swap it'd have to be manual |
Yeah it does suck, but having a Miata that sounds like a stang is still way cool.
|
it would be cool, but more of a novelty .. for everyday driving and raceing id rather have a turbo 4..
but a 5.0 would definitly surprise a few faces at a show lol... |
Yeah i was reading this and i wondered if any others nissan forums were discussing this. And on NICO forums, there is another guy that did this swap a ways back ( http://www.nissaninfiniticlub.net/fo...=v8+conversion ). The main question ther was the frame. Can the frame of a 240 handle all the torqur and hp of an lt-1 or even an ls-1??? Won't that twist and tear your frame to scrap? Also they said the whole conversion cost them about 12 grand. I thoguht this was best bang for the buck.... Please correct if i am wrong.
|
Anyone...?
|
I'm pretty sure that it would twist the frame because of all the torque, even V8 mustangs twist, there are some areas on mustangs where they rust because it is where the chassis twisted. If i were to do the V8 swap into a 240, i'd install either a full roll cage, or even a 3 point roll cage, just to stiffen the car up..... plus roll bars are cool :thumb:

Originally posted by Justin.b Are todays young import drivers the Camaro boys of my high school years? Really, guys, you all need to be a little more open - minded about this stuff. There's no need for such ridiculous blind loyalty. Did any of you know that you can buy a turbo RB equipped GM FROM THE FACTORY in Australia? The Holden (GM) Commodore can be ordered with a Nissan RB25ET, and the same car is also offered with the Chevy V8. Now if GM and Nissan themselves aren't loyal enough to their own products to keep this machine from happening, then what is your justification? -Justin |
