plans.

ok well im putting this in off topic because so many people hate the "ooo im gonna do this and that" threads.

now that thats out of the way,

a n/a 240sx is on the way from me.
goals include daily driven pump gas 275whp.
2400lb curb weight.
12.9 in the 1320.
its gonna be set up completely adjustable, but mainly for road racing with the ocassional drift excursion.


im doing this as an object lesson that defying conventional wisdom just takes a little determination and skill.
this car may be done next year, it may be done in 5 years. but its coming.

using ka im assuming? do i spy an itb setup in the future? looking forward to seeing it together, good luck

ITBs are a must, but im leaning toward an SR20DE right now, because of lighter weight for handling. no expense is going to be spared as far as light weight is concerned.

gotchya.. if your going with the motorcycle setup i can get you a set of gsxr 1000 tb's for pretty cheap.. only downside is shipping. im sure you can find some in your area but if you have trouble for some reason dont hesitate to pm me

2400 lbs is quite an achievment. LOTS of stuff to remove.

so what are you gonna do? $$$$$$ in headwork and custom crank?

275whp sounds hard out of a n/a SR. Why not build a high comp KA?

he can use an SR20VE head (if he can find one), they put out 200hp stock.

im thinking of trying this without the VE head though. some high lift cams and a ton of headwork should get me up there. i dont really want to deal with adapting the vtc to an old ass car, plus i want a high port head.

extrude hone + 5 angle valve job + oversized valves + reshaped combustion chamber + 9000 redline should get me the power i want out of the head. that plus 11.5:1 comp or even 12:1 possibly, with a secondary fuel rail misting into the throttle bodies, light wheels, CF driveshaft, light tires, light brakes, light flywheel, light clutch, knife edged crank, high flow oil pump, oil cooler(external of course), and start replacing steel things with aluminum things.

12:1 would be badass.

thinking of even 13 or 14:1 running on e85, but thats a big maybe.

(enter random retarted bench racing comment)

where do you plan to buy parts from? I think this would actually be a badass car now that im reading the plans again and thinking about it. GL!

i too was wondering about the potential of a N/A KA... anyone with experiance should chime in here.. (along with some exterior mods..) Those are my plans.
