well my brother has an 88 rx7 and he is putting a 302 in it...... and grannys speed shop makes a kit for his car.... i was thinking about putting it into my 89 240sx hatch.... but i can't find any kits ..... well my question was has anybody on the forum tried that swap..... and was it successful...... about how much did u spend and was it worth it.........

 

www.mckinneymotorsports.com They make a kit to put an ls1 into a 240. Much better than that 302.

 

I dont see how this is off topic.

 

Moved to "Engine Swaps".

 

hinson supercars man. they have an ls1 Rx8 and S14. Im pretty sure they have kits for the intsall. dont put the 302 in it. ls1 is easier and better

 

Ls1's are nice. what is it 350 Horses out of the box?! thats like this -----> to this

 

lol yall are funny i like the smiley faces..... hilarious......... the ls1 is expensive though so i will have to see

 

I have a 91 240 with a LS6, still being built. Estimated cost with suspension engine and trans is like 10-12 grand

 

^^wow! thats exspensive.

 

i was just talkin about doin the ls6 or 7 but they are way to much for me right now.

 

ls6 or ls7 wow your taling about atleast 7 grand more for the ls7

 

If i were to ever put any LS motor in a 240, i would do an LS7, because that is the ****. Of course it wouldnt be until i was some rich dude because they cost so much money, but that would be soooo sexy. haha. 500 hp and 450 tq....and then i would twin turbo it. thats just my dream on the subject.

 

Yeah i got my LS6 with 34000 on it for about 3700. With the exhaust and ecu it was doing 360 horse. But I am upgrading the intake from to 90MM, same as the throttle body and MAF, larger cam and new heads. Should ring in at 450-500. Once that is all well and the car is handeling it all fine I plan on supercharging. if I fall into that 9 grand. At that point i will have to bore and go eagle forged rods and pistons but god I would hope for near 700 horse in a S13. I would have loved a LS7 but yeah 7500 for a short block only no thanks, Plus its a tight fit with the small block as is.

 

LS7 in a 240 would basically be like a supercar, it would be freakin nuts.

But you would have to upgrade everything about the car basically.

 

dunno if i can agree with you on the easier part. 302 is carbed and doesnt use a wiring harness or ecu, just need a driveshaft, mounts, tranny, and some other misc stuff for it to run. id take a 302 over ls1 just juz i dont want much power and its a pretty simple motor. id have a quad carb set up with 8 velocity stacks, a cam and a fully rebuilt bottom end and port and polish. easiest way to achieve mad n/a power. id love to build an n/a ka but dont know if i can hang with how much its gonna cost.
