I was wondering, i'm just starting to buy parts for my 90 240 and i was just wondering what kind of gains i get from different modifications.

With an Intake hp?
Headers ?
test pipe for cat
cut off, or free flow exhaust

Or with suspension
The front strut tower bar ?
rear strut tower bar ?
Springs or Struts

What performance parts you guys put on your cars that had the greatest improvement to your auto mobile. Just trying to get a head start to a nice overall handling car with some nice power.

Thanks All,

Kam

 

well i use a cat with no muffler/3 inch pipe and no resinator all the way back. i put a cool auto zone tip on to fool cops into thinking i have have an actual muffler. it really helps throttle response and top-end. i tightened my throttle cable to help improve throttle response(it works). K&n cone filter to get more top end.
lame *** Project Silvia(ebay) FSTB that helps turn in. it won't fit with the RB anyway so why-not?
drift spin button
180sx front sway bar with urethane bushings
N1 cat-back and R32 LSD in the store-room(nice place for em)
full gutted and re-painted interior
and clear winkers that gave me 8 extra hp..........
thats it except the clip i got monday ............

I'm justing wondering what people put on there 240s. I'm going to pick up the title right now and I'm about to jump on Ebay and spend some cash.

so far I have FSTB, Custom catback made at the exhaust shop (much cheaper than the prefab) and NOS. besides the NOS, the catback has helped the most. my top end pickup is a lot better, but i still have the same speed limiter. and the Nitrous is only good into 4th gear, after that, Im pretty much wasitn it. My WAI kit should be hear soon, so i can give you an idea of that once I get it.

 

what shot are you running? How does it handle it, is it a straight shot like from what i saw on supras that a 50 shot is 50-55 rwhp. Does it take it nicely, or does it burp . What are the most influently mods to the 240.

I got A front and a rear strut tower bars.

I might get a ebay chip and an intake soon. First I need a 5spd trans.

ANyone else I would really like to know what setup your running.

Thanks,

Kam

 

the chip is a waste of $5, don't get it. the intake is just a filter and an adapter, try to get a full tubing intake system. the 50 shot is a dry shot, goes from the intake through the throttle body into the manifold into the cylinders. I would prefer a direct port that fires right into the cylinders, but I already had a dry kit. I just got my high flow filter off ebay today. it works better than stock, but its no big deal. but every little bit helps.

 

direct port duzn't inject directly into the cylinders, it injects into the port.

 

Dude did you not watch fast and the furious?

 

uhhh, did i miss something?

 

i think he is talking about when paul walker shot the nitrous in his 4 car race, and they showed it shooting into the cylinder

 

sorry were getting off hand. What mandrel bends to use for an intake tubing. And what other mods you guys add to your sohc 240sx. And can you swap the heads?



Kam

 

the heads aren't swappable. We don't drive Hondas

 

Heh, you can swap an S13 head onto an S14 head as long as both are DOHC though (and vice versa)...
