Sick of the Si? What year is it and what do you have done? I own a 90 Si, and Am getting a 91 Si with a blown engine and some body work to be done. what year 240sx you looking for?
Dr. |
I'm up here in Maine for school, up in Orono.
|
Well, I was offered an 89 240sx in trade for my crx si. I haven't done much to it. Has a crappy pacesetter exhaust, crappy air intake. needs normal rust fixed. Valves went at 195k, got a 70k d16a6 waiting to go in.
I've had a broken leg so I haven't been able to put it in. I'm not really tired of the crx, I love it, but to upgrade to a 240sx would be sweet. Hopefully I can find someone around that'l know a little about dropping a sr20det in since the sx i'm looking at has 170k on it. |
ah frigitycracksucker
Frickin' guy with the 240sx flaked and said he wouldn't get rid of it but wants to get rid of his 200sx...nuh uh. Crap, I was gettin' all horny over getting a sx too. |
lol, ah well.
I'm i nthe process of fixing up my crx as well, plenty of rust on her. thats a low milage a6, how much did you get it for? I have a shell i'm looking @ dropping in a a6, do you know how to do it yourself? Dr. |
Yeah I'll have no problem replacing it. Just swapping one a6 for another.
|
how heavy is the a6?
Any chance you wanna come down to NH and help me drop an a6 in a crx if I can find one? lol. Dr. |
the a6 is only a couple hundred pounds, maybe 350 complete with manifolds etc...if that. It's a small engine, only sohc. If I could get rid of my CRX as is for a good deal I'd sell you my 70k a6 for like $350.
|
I might be interested in that, if you'll come help me drop her in!
Want me to keep my eye open for a 240sx around here? Dr. |
Nah, I guess my 240sx dreams are done, lol. I think I've finally spotted th Del Sol I'm going to get. I've wanted one since I was 13 so I gutta fulfil my desire... I know, I know...Slow as heck but I'll probably boost the heck outa it to make it hit 12's!
|
you still selling that engine then? lol
Dr. |
Nah. Del Sol guy flaked, decided he was gunna turbo it. He did sell me his complete d16a6 ($1400 invested) built head with a 3 angle valve job, double valve springs 1mm oversize valves and a delta 272 cam and a couple other things.. Gunna try and put it on my 70k mile engine this afternoon i think, got all the stuff I need. Of course, I might be interested in re-selling the head. But I def. need to keep the block itself for my car.
|
how built is that head? for 1400 he coulda had a z6 full engine put in, or thats the cost of a b16. . thats insane.
You gotta turbo it now thats it's built? Dr. |
it's very built
port and polish 3 angle valve job milled .040 deltal 272 cam dual valve springs 1mm oversize valves i think that's everything With that and a d16y8 head gasket it'l put compression to about 9.4:1 which is still very boostable. a z6 would be good, but if you plan on boostin' it you gutta deal with vtec timing, not to mention the extra $500 or so to get a z6 running in a crx anyway..would need new ECU, extra harness wiring, dif. distributor which is obd-1 when the CRX is non-obd (obd-0) and a b16 will cost much more than $1400. Be lucky to get a b16 and tranny (let alone the LSD tranny) for that price. Then you gotta get new axles ~ $100-300, mounts ~$400, and wire the sucker up so vtec will work etc which comes into the ecu crap again. SOHC has a number of advantages over the DOHC. And to do it without vtec, that's just even more impressive. and don't worry, I didn't pay $1400 to buy the head. |
I didn't think you did
And to be different than a b16 is awesome, just as I'm avoiding doing the standard sr20. 9:4:1 is very bosstable, is that your plan? How many hp does he imagine that will puit the engine up to? Very interesting approach. I'd take the a6 head from you but I haven't any clue how to rip it off, I wonder if the block on the crx I have with the blown engine is fine, and I could use the head. Did you have any upgrades on your rex? Dr. |
