put 10k in either both of those cars, which will be faster?

i say the 240sx, since i have one

to be honest with you, it would still be about the same. you can get a turbo kit for both, and strenghten internals for 10K.

damn... and you have a 240sx too... haha, j/p, more input please

I'd say it depends who's working on the cars..

simounj · #5 04-20-2003, 12:06 AM

say NISMO was working on the 240, and MUGEN was working on the integra....

front wheel drive vs rear wheel in a drag race?

240sx no doubt about it...just control your tire slippage :-P

well the 240 will definitly have the poewr advantage. but the integra would have a weight advantage. you don't see many super fast 240's out there. they usually run around 13 to 12 second 1/4 miles. even though that is still fast, its not as fast as you can get most hondas. like for example. my friend knows a guy who put a stock gs-r motor into a hatchback civic and he ran a 13.9 now thats around 6K right there total now he still has 4K left over for a turbo. with that you will have one fast ass honda. it won't be very balanced but it will still be a fast ass dragster. now if you put the same money into a 240. you can run about the same time, but the differnce is, it will be alot more balanced plus ours is a RWD. hmmmmm now that i think about it, it will be about the same. i've seen a video of a turboed KA (usdm 240 engine) take down a turboed GS-R powered civic hatch from a roll. hmmmmmmm

I'm unsure of what the original poster's intention of speed... But putting a b18c1(gs-r) into a civic hatch wouldn't cost 6k.... it'd cost maybe 4g's at most if you do the work yourself. If the car was to be strictly a drag racer, I'd rather have a boosted H22A in the hatch. Yes, it will have horrible weight balance, but she'll be fast! Oh yea.. I don't think the gs-r motor would throw the weight balance too off... so it could have possible handling capabilities... Oh yea, a hatch isn't an integra so I don't know..

The red top sr20det front clip costs something like 5g's right? I think the motor swap itself nets a low to mid 14 second car. That leaves you with 5g's to work with.. LSD, some tires, brake pads, shocks, struts, and springs, and some motor upgrades and you'll have what.. a mid 13 second 240 with some prowess in the twisties?

It depends on what the 10k was put toward. If one owner spent 10 on the drivetrain, and the other owner put on a 10k paint job then its a no brainer.

lol.... c'mon now...

frozen_Joth · #11 04-20-2003, 02:07 PM

yes it is. integras (cept the 4 doors) are all considered hatchbacks...cuz...they have a h/b (3rd gens).

as for the arguement at hand...it could go either way really. u could jus drop a vtec head on that ls block an then build it a bit an turbo the motor an BAM ur into 12's no problem. i dun't really kno much bout nissan's but i kno not to underestimate how quickc they can be for not too much money either. i'd say really jus depends on wut u wanted to drive in the end...

AAAAHHHHaweiof japoeifj aweoifj0-23u8qu34iq34j asdlkfj a....... I meant a civic hatch isn't really an integra....

well of course i was just rambling becusae i really had no right answer to the question. hehe so i just babbled about anything that i can think off. and a red top SR is not 5 K. you can get the whole swap done in queens with a front mounted intercooler for 4K. then you got another 6 grand left over for a larger turbo and etc, then bam 12 seconds easy. becusae a red top on a stock turbo with intake, exhuast, front mounted intercooler, running on 10psi is a already a 13 second car.

Hey now... How about a 747 wing/spoiler, bodykit, neon lights, and some stickers(i.e. GTR, TypeR, SpecV, TypeS), now that's going to be one hella fast car.

I think 240 is clearly the winner here, RWD does makes a big diff.
