HKS super blow off valve
3" Megan racing catback and 3" Megan downpipe
3" high flow magana flow CAT
CP racing 5 puck clutch with rebuilt pressure plate
CP racing triangulated Strutbar
Walboro 255lph fuel pump, 300zx fuel filter.
Intake-dunno what kind, never mentionned it.

And how much work would it take to put this front end on it?

how much are you going to buy it for? that 240 needs some TLC....

wow, why dont you check the stickies before you ask questions like this, then go and google your questions then if you cant find answers post it. here is a website that does s13 conversions (thats the front clip you have in the picture) but the sr20's come with the front clip... and you already have one in that car, so you figure that out here is the web site www.jspec.com go to the 240sx only part of the site nooooooooob.

His posts>your posts silvia15. Dont just jump the gun to call a reg to AF a newb.. He is prolly a newb to this forum but he'll catch on quick if really wants to learn, just give him a chance..

yeah that is laughable to call someone with 4.802 posts a noob. and it is not necessarily easy to correlate pics of front ends with exact names/parts/prices for front ends so its an appropriate question.


as for the HP estimate it doesnt sound like the boost has been upped so you are going off the HP upgrades to exhaust so i say it might dyno at like 200 at the wheels? maybe?

and for the front end you need fenders, bumper, hood, headlights, corner lights, turn signals, headlight brackets, grill, and i think thats it. try jspec.com they have lots of parts and info.

LMFAO!hahahahahahahaha look at that intercooler! OMG is that original or what? Supa ghetto fabolus!!

To answer your question, prolly 200whp +/-10 depending on engine condition. Completely stock SRs dyno about 180whp.

For future reference, post count does not equal intellegence. ITs not a ranking system. Its just a number. Truth is, most of the questions prolly could have been answered in the FAQ. Nobody should just be forgiven of having to read it. Even the admin should read the FAQ if he has a question on 240s.

that is actually a pretty decent looking side mount. it also looks like a bar and plate type rather then tube and fine. the piping is also very short so its good for boost response. now the only problem and the main problem is that, why is it not facing towards any air? that intercooler is goin to get heat soaked with the quickness without proper air flow.

hahaha it will be nice to have the original post whore in the 240 forum

He mentionned the intercooler being from a Probe, I don't know if it makes a difference. I was talking about the front end conversion, no engine included in that one. Fenders, hood, lights, front bumper with lip, rebar. whole front end swap is what he is selling for 875$.
The person who is selling the car is asking 7 000$ and he said that the clear coat on the car should be fine after a nice polish and wax job.
Oh and he said something is wrong with the TPS sensor making it run rich.
And no comments are needed from those who choose not to help. I just needed some answers. Thanks guys

Try this place, but ...e-mail them or call them its
www.jarcoinc.com, jarco specializes in motor swap with many cars, plus conversions, i got my front end conversion for my s13 from this place, so give it a shot..All the stuff i have gotten from them was in A condition...but call them or e-mail and ask them if they have them in stock..

i think 7k may be a little high but it also depends on where you are id try to get him down to 6 he cant expect to make all his money back on the sr20. what car the intercooler was on makes no difference but it is mounted weird i would get a FMIV as soon as possible. and i will assume that if you are geting a s13 front end that you will be re painting the car? so the condidtion of the paint doesnt matter that much. oh and a person w/ 22 post saying raz is a noooob hahaha a noob to 240's maybe but a noob NOOOOOOOOO

7k for that car is way to high...i got a HELL of alot more stuff with my car for only 7.5k...and mine is way way nicer..(no offense) but 7k is a rip off specially without fmic

The car comes with 10 wheeles (winter, summer and misc), 8 rubber (winter and summer), transmission, steering wheele and other minor things. He also mentionned the car has no power steering.
I can get a 2nd gen DSM for less than this car, but I wanted to know if a car like this could cream a Turbo AWD DSM.

it depends on what year. a first you'll see killed from a roll. 2nd gen with stock turbo you'll have the upper hand. the first gen you'll have a chance on the highway.

It depends on what kind of racing you really wanna do. Its no big secret that AWD will own at the 400m. On the highway, the 240 is a good competitor. Overall, both cars are great choices. IT comes down to personal preference IMO. Both easy modders.

The TPS may just need to be adjusted. Get a multimeter and adjust it. Not too often TPS's go bad.

I'd offer 4-5k topps.
