Engine Choice

[Hit_N_Run-player]

idk..i just do for some reason. i dont really hate it, but nine pages and i think we get the point of voting on the engines. Either destroy it, or sticky it so we dont have to watch it bounce across the thread list all the time LOL

well i use palmala and handgela together, 1 is fun but 2 is a party.

LS6??? wtf i just raed it!

[jtecj]

.........I voted LS6....guess just to be funny.....but now I cant vote for what I really want....anyway, I am going for the 2jzgte because no one can argue against it and the rb's as being some of the moste powerful and influential motors ever created....I mean 900+horses on stock internals!!!! its just crazy....god the things I'm going to do when I get one in my car

[Hit_N_Run-player]

arent you the guy that said he has 50K to spend on a probe and wants to put a rb26dett in it?

[logik23]

Yeah, we will all believe it when we see it.

If I had unlimited funds and I wanted the worlds most powerfull 240SX I'd have a 1300 BHP VG30DETT. This old F1 pylon racer plane (like F1 for cars but for airplanes, lots of tight turns) called the Ponds Racer was powered by two 3.0L Nissan engines, one in each wing. The plane looked a lot like the old Lockheed P-38 'Lightening' but way smaller...Coolest plane ever. Anyway, each of the engines made 1300 BHP. I never got to look at them with the cowling off but they said it was the same block as the 300ZX which means VG30! Too bad about the plane though. It seems the twin boom tail used on the P-38 and the Ponds Racer is great for tight manuvering as well as high speed but it isn't very forgiving on the pilot, who not too far into the otherwise promising life of the Ponds, crashed into the ground at almost 600 mph.

A VQ35DETT would be cool too but I don't think it has the same potential as its old V6 cousin.

For now, I'm limited to mods of a few hundred at a time which means save for a swap, save for a turbo kit, or just do NA mods from time to time. The KA is certainly a better choice than th SR20DET swap though. Intake, cams, header, exhaust, and EFI tuning should make a KA more powerful than the 205 BHP SR20DET for less money too. Ofcourse, your tuning is as important as your parts when it comes to power.

Bopabooie Bopabooie Howard Sterns Penis Bopabooie Bopabooie!11!1!!

[slideways...]

no offense but all who pick a KA or L-Series motor over a 2jz or RB??? cmon seriously
as for my choice i think AWD is the tie-breaker between two engines that can take 500+ hp with no internal strengthening mods...

[sidewayzS13]

how many people make their 240 AWD though cmon seriously

[Alexious]

rb26dett without second thought :P.

[sidewayzS13]

oh my and just how do u plan on buying this rb26dett that u speak of and then how do u plan on installing it in ur 240

i would simply keep the ka and put on the enjuku racing turbo kit, which is what i am getting for mine. go look it up... it puts 398 hp to the rear wheels. granted, going fast in a straight line is fun, but isnt going fast around corners better? get a ka-t and itll solve all your problems including the ones you would have if you put a twin turbo skyline engine in there... WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION mother f*cker! lol. think tho if you have a giant motor up front, you wont be able to handle at all. i can see it now, going fast as hell then you hit a corner and you cant slow down or turn quite as well as you'd need...
