Check out www.srswap.com a.k.a. www.heavythrottle.com for SR20 swaps, and www.jdmhondaparts.com for B- series motors.

Thanks guys! I'll let you know if I buy the car or not, I still gotta test it out, but all the 240 info is great to know, drifting seems fun...I have a few friends with beater camaros and firebirds that drift it till we spin out. It's alot of fun! The 240 probably is alot easier to do, but then again I'll have to test it out.

Don't mess with the SR20DET - that's kiddy shit. Go with a VG30DETT or better yet the RB26DETT... There's shitloads of power to be had.

We're running the VG/TT at a measely 17psi and pushing 370hp and 420lb-ft at the front wheels.


Fitment is the biggest problem you may encounter.

The odometer on my 1990 240SX currently reads: 217,394 miles.

Now with the S14 to S13, a 1992 is a S14 or 13?

S13 - '89 - '94
S14 - 95 - ?

One thing North America did not see was the S15. You may run into it on your searches but just know it was not sold in the US.

I currently have a 91 240SX that Im driving until the weather breaks. I must say, its one of my favorite cars to drive. Mines mostly stock, I was gonna go SR20 but then the S2000 came along . Its a great car, and I really hate the fact that I have to sell it, but I really want a hardtop, lol.

Anyway, good choice of car. Its probably one of the best starting points to build from IMO, given its amazingly huge aftermarket support, its near 50/50 balance, cost effectiveness, etc. Good luck and keep it sideways.

One more thing, a great page for SR20 enthusiasts (sp) is SR20.hybrids.jp check it out, its probably the best forum for the 240.

EDIT: If your interested, email me for info on mine....considerably cheaper and I really need to sell it.
