W/ S13 sr u will se mid 14's...MAYBE 13's if u got sum suspension and good driver. Uhmm with the S14...u will see low 14's probably. You should go with a S15 engine swap kus it seems to be a ***** to get done. Well the S14 engine has a lil more power then the S13 SR..but its about a grand more. With that money u can probably get more HP then the S14....U will win againts a WRX if he is a HORRIBLE driver. Its AWD and has more power...u will not win. They usually run 13's. u will kill any civic and integ (unless they got a good turbo set up then it might be a lil harder) For drifting there isnt any ideal HP..But the stock SR is great start. i wouldnt go anything over 350HP. Thats enough for Drifting.

hehe now i have some other question

1.can i boost 350hp out from the s14 motor???

2.is there any silvia run low 12 or even 11

3. since the s15 is a pain to put in i guess s14 is not a bad idea

Its not that hard to get it up to 350hp..Thats the limit..Anything higher then 370 is kinda pushing the SR and might blow on u so watch out. There are Silvias that run 11's...12's...10s probably. You just gatta have the right engine in for that. I try my best to help people out

Yea or minor mods, like bolt on ones. For 1/4 mile suspension is a biggy so if u do sum suspension upgrades it will help out ur time.

-HyJynX- what kinda of car u are driving ???
s13? s14?
my goal is to keep up with WRX
the reason i want to do that cause there are mad WRX racer in NY **** i been racing with them for too long i want to win haha

let's say i am going to do a s14 swap if i upgrade my turbo should i upgrade my engine internal as well?
cause in the srswap.com it said i can't run higher then 13psi which i guess is around 250rwhp and what do i have to do to get 350rwhp thankz again for answering my newbie questions

Im driving...or should i say have a 89 240 hatchback..im still doin my swap..it got postponed cus of sum things that came up. To get up around 350..Upgraded downpipe..3" or 3.5" exahust piping..Intake..Upgrade fuel injectors..Nice big turbo...more boost...custom turbo manifold. Uhmm i cant think of anything else right now..for 350hp u dont really need to change any internals..but it would help ya out. The stock interanls can hold that power..its proven

Where in NY are you, I would be willing to do the swap for you. Send me an email and lets talk, I guarantee I am cheaper than anyone else. I swapped an RB25DET into my 89 240SX coupe just recently and I am in Albany.

Check out this thread http://nissaninfiniticlub.net/forums...threadid=24851 and scroll down to see pictures of my car. It is in the process of getting a new head now so I cant send you any completed pictures with it together, but I did paint the cam covers black and the top of the intake plenum body color. I am thinking around $1000 would cover the labor to install, everyone else wants closer to $1500. I will install everything you want for that price, unless you want to replace engine internals. It would definately be more for that. Send me an email and let me know if you are interested. I dont want to find the motor for you, I will leave that up to you. I would HIGHLY suggest getting a ft clip unless you plan on going with a front mount intercooler. Talk to me before you buy though. If you are interested, send me an email at jbpowell@nycap.rr.com.

About your forum

You have the exact idea that i do b/c i want a 240 w/ a s13 front end and engine swap.
yea i would go with the s13 front end.
you dont really need that much horspower for drifting b/c if you have to o much HP you are able to spin out alot, and not enough HP will keep you from drifting the right way.
So you need around 300 to 400 HP but no more than 450 HP b/c it will bee far to powerful.

if you will email me back i can get my friends email and give it too you b/c he know anything and everything about drifting and any car you want b/c he has studied this for like 4 or 5 years now.
and he has a 1991 240sx.

email me at iam99x@hotmail.com

I could probably locate one for you, but I cant guarantee the best price there. Try Venus-auto.com. Look around and let me know if you are serious. I have a CA18DET install scheduled for the near future and maybe I could do yours right after. Email me so we can continue this without wasting everyone elses time. If you want the S15 conversion, I might be able to help you there also.

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon,
Jon
