I helped my son purchase a 1993 240SX (S13 Coupe) a couple of months back. And like any teenage kid who doesn't appreciate anything I am now the new owner (not a bad thing, yet). So I've been searching different forums looking for ideas and learning as I go along.
The car has 100K miles with some mods from the previous owner which had started to set it up as a drift car. It has a the stock KA24DE, Cusco 1.5 LSD, Tein 15way coil overs and an APEXI cat back. The car is fairly quick for what it is, to my amazement I tried racing him in my V6 Sonata and he walked me lol. I live in IL so the weather is crap now but I've been thinking about upgrading a couple more parts like a short shifter some new rims and tires and perhaps a cold air once spring gets here. The more I search and see different 240's and there mods the more I want to do the same. I have a couple of modified domestic vehicles (not sure if I should mention makes). So this would be like a project car. It has some rust issues but nothing major so i and if $$ allows a Maaco paint job or better yet rattle can paint. I saw a pic on Ebay of a 240sx KA24DE and the engine compartment looked like it had the manual fan removed and other accessories removed. ie A/C compressor and was running a shorter belt,is this something that is done often? Thanks in advance for your help. back when we first bought it Attachment 12220 |
Welcome to the forum.
By removing the clutch fan and and not running accesories such as ac and power steering and removing the components frees up horsepower and reduces a little weight. When people remove the clutch fan they add electric cooling fans and there are writeups everywhere on completing this mod. |
Nice car, you can take out the manual fan and use an electric fan instead, there's a lot of things you can remove from the 240. AC I don't know about, I don't have AC in my 240.
Post pics/tell us about your other projects. Edit: Same post time as evan. he wins =( |
^^^+1 on the pics and the other projects.
What do you want to do with the 240? |
well I'd like to make it streetable with an occasional drift course. I'd like to make it look a lil more updated by replacing some of it's older parts (interior). Do the 240's come with an electric fan too?
my other project's are a 2001 500hp Mustang and a 300hp DD 1995 grand prix SE with an L67 swap, pics to follow. |

the electric fan you're referring to is for the a/c condenser though. but yes there are lots of write ups although i think mine is the best. but don't take my word for it see for yourself.

http://www.club240.com/forums/showth...874#post341874 welcome. and no I won't remove the P/S was just curious about the A/C, condenser and fans. The A/C isn't working and I believe was causing the 240 to overheat. I'd also like to replace the factory carpet and perhaps have the seats recovered. |
