Engine Swap
 

Hey I was wondering if anyone could tell me all the work (and parts that would need to be swapped) if I put in either a sr20det (six speed) or an rb26dett

woooooooooooooooooooooooooow, buddy, that is the most common swap in a 240sx, do a search buddy on google, there are tons of sites with information.

neither of those swaps are very common...a RB25/20 is a lot more common...and a 5 speed SR20DET out of the PS13 or S14 is A LOT more common...both the RB26DETT and the 6 speed SR20DET are pretty complicated because of a very different electrical setup...among�@other things....like different sonsors and stuff...and the RB26 is pretty complicated because of the twin turbo setup and needing to swap out the tranny to a RWD one like the RB20...unless you really want a 6 speed, a SR20 from a S13 or S14 would be a lot easier...

your saying that a sr20 is not a common swap into a 240???? then what is?

not the 6speed version.

PWNED!

x2

im pretty dead set on the 6 speed or the rb26 and if i get the rb26 im gonna convert the 240 to awd

:thumb: good input on the subject

The rb26 is not a very common swap and neither is the 6 speed black topmotor for a 99-2000 s15. You said it was the most common swap, but a sr20det, and rb comes in many flavors, the ones he meantined being the least swaped.

I will try and have beter input on the "supject>" next time.

Good luck with that...lots of work, pain, and tears. Plus money lol...I suggest If you REALLY wand an RB26, use the RB25 tranny instead. If not, just go RB25 :thumb:

O and pwned again!!!!!

damn all you ppl. Where do you get all these money for a swap? Not only the money for the swap, but how do you find the time to DO the swap? All that fabrication to make it fit and blah blah blah.....
What's this car gonna be used for anyway with all that power you want to have? And AWD? hmmm inte........ rest.......ing

I'd be happy with a motor from a 91+ lol






keioffice I suggest you READ the sentences fully before making such comments cuz you got owned

:spin:

Muhahahahaha!!! You want a 91 motor? Wanta buy my car :D Its blown, but you can rebuild. YOU HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY.

i feel retarded now, for not reading the the post right, sorry SnoopDoug762, i thought you were a noob.

Your both newbs....Dont trip I was one too.

Making the 240 AWD is Ridiculous.

It'd kick ass for sure.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

That is all

or u could just buy a BNR32 from motorex for about 25,000 (i think)...and it will be twice as reliable more balanced and youll stop traffic...lol....and time is money...i guess you COULD buy the whole S15 front clip and swap EVERYTHING...thatll make the electrical stuff a lot easier...wel good luck...next project u should put a AWD 4G63 in a civic 4 door...sleeper...lol

How much do you want for your car? Cuz I'm still tryin to get the coupe that I took a look at already(the dude just has to get the title). I'll ask you more about your car on AIM: iLEVEL


4G63 in a civic :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :rofl: .....wait he said 4door civic:ugh::laugh: :laugh:

wow so you have money out the ass.

Okay make a 240 AWD is the dumbest thing ive heard in a while.

RB26 and S15 swap are not hard just costly and time consuming.

S15 6 Speed is easy. If you a wiring genius then that should be no problem, but if you have trouble finding the distrubutor in yoru own car then let someone else handle it.

I know a few tricks to make the S15 swap cake but you have to figure those out yourself as i did.

RB is alttile more complicated and the new engine mount relocation kit will run you about 1600.00 alone for a good one.

To make it AWD mean you have to swap all the suspension components over to the front axles have a place to run through to the bearning.

I know a shop that did a AWD RB S14. Dunno if it runs or drives. But its a huge waste of time, if you ask me.

RB throws off the car balance pretty bad. Your coilover rates would have to be like 16kg front and 10kg rear.

Good luck with that. Your gonna need it.

Swap this, swap that...

How about you swap my penis into your mouth.

KA-T BABY!

No, I'm joking. Get the engine, and have a shop do it for you. BAM. Swap done.

i would do the swap your self that way you will learn more about the engine, and you can fix it your self.

I think LandHo agreed with me when I asked how people find the time to do this crap and where the money is coming from... :dunno: :confused:

yes i am lookin to get a lotta power im going to use the car for circuit and a little bit of drifting so after one of the engines are installed which one can i get more power and better performance with when i add other aftermarket parts

and money is a scarce thing to any racer im just plannin for the future i guess

how old are you and have you researched this topic at all???

Im young but i dont ask questions without researching and i espeacially dont ask questions without knowing when im going to do it.

like LandHo and the others said, a shop can do this for you but its gonna cost big $$.

Im not tryin to give you a hard time, im just letting you kno that posting for stuff like this is a waste of time, unless your ready for the swap or w/e...

Ok, I'm obviously new to this site, but you guys seem to know your stuff. I am trying to get opinions from ppl who have had personal experiences with the sr swaps and the rb swaps. I've been researching these swaps for my 91 240, but I want the different points of view. Any opinions about the ka motors would be greatly appreciated too!

You want different point of views and you claim to have done some research. Have you acutally read the threads on here about the ka motor? How about the KA vs SR thread?

I have read the ka vs. rb thread, but I didn't see the sr vs rb. I've got my motor possibilites lined up, I am just trying to get some different prospectives before I sink any more money into it.
