Alright, i am most likely going to purchase a modified 240sx. I will give all the info on the mods and all of that info, but first i have a few questions. First of all, what will i need on top of the mods already done to make abt 300-350whp w/out running any risks, and the car still being a very reliable car, i will most likely be wanting to run in the low 300whp range. Second, from what i understand, the 240 tops out at 115, i will be autocrossing some with this car and would be able to get the limiter removed, but i was curious b/c from what i've heard, the engine has problems in the 150mph range, and i was wondering what mods needed to be done in order to not have a problem w/ blowing the heads, or overheating the engine, detonating the turbo, or anything like that. No flaming, and all help is appreciated. Here is the car as it stands.

1995 Nissan 240SX (Base Model)
-White/Grey
-200k on chassis/3k on rebuilt SR20DET
-60k on jdm tranny (harnessed in w/ ka harness, limiting the car to 115mph)
-Great condition!

Engine mods:
-Rebuilt SR20DET
-S15 Garett T28 turbo
-Exedy stage 1 clutch kit
-BIC custom V Mount intercooler/radiator set up.
-Custom polished piping
-polished valve cover
-Turbo XS Type H-RFL BOV
-Greddy Trust intake
-Greddy Trust 3" downpipe
-Project Nissan 3" testpipe
-Espelir JGT500 3" catback exhaust
-SARD FPR/PSI Gauge
-S14 SR20DET fuel pump
-Apexi SAFC

-Greddy Trust shift ****
-Greddy TT

That is all I can think of for now!

im pretty much sure the power range is there already, but im gonna go along wit every1 else, buy a stock car or atleast a 240 with a stock sr and then do it all your self, it makes you feel better and it lets you kno the job was done right, just my 2 cents

motegineon

first off, i agree with everyone else. But to kind of help you, greddy makes a chip thingy, projectnissan selld them that gets rid of the govenor, also if you whats autocrossing have to do with you trying to go over 115?

willyboy

i meant road racing, i had been talking w/ someone else abt autocrossing and made a mistake. So yeah, road racing.

If your looking into getting into road racing, find whatever mods and what limitations there are for your class and start there.

willyboy

well the here and now objective is 2 beat my frnds turbo'd rsx type-s which is really fast. In a year or so i wanna get into road racing.

i dont see what the problem is here...This "Pre-Modded" car you are getting is probably already hitting low 300 range. Theres already a thread that tells you how to remove the govenor.

Hey man, Like everyone said I would really be careful about buying a car modified to this extent. V-mount setups are a big deal and require an extensive amount cutting, custom fabrication, and rerouting. You have to be very confident that the work done was flawless because that could result in serious problems if not done correct. Also, the set up is not going to be ideal for a daily driven car with the increase of heat soak that occurs putting the intercooler so close to engine. Also, remember a car modified like this most likely wasn't babied. Just make sure you get the car thoroughly checked out...

Good luck either way you go about it

If u wanna road race put some suspension mods too...duh!

i won't an *** in the whole "modded car" although I agree but for hoesepower just tune it sounds good
