Corvette 240

Sounds very cool...

Alot of people don't know how much room is available in the 240 engine bay for such a swap...

I changed the plugs in my 240/350 in about 15 mins...
Alot more room then in T/A's & Camaro's...

I call mine the TORQUE MONSTER!

r.w. you do have valid points but there's no replacement for displacement.

5.1>4.5

and the vk is made for the nissan suv's and luxury sedans, not a legendary sports car. you'd have much more satisfaction putting even $5G's into an ls1 than vk45. and with the 1.1L difference in displacement with the same amount of cylinders, i/h/e will definitely show more significant results on the ls1. i know you're defending the vk out of spite cause sr20detpower can be a stubborn sob but in the end he really thinks things out and they make sense. i'd rather see a vk-powered 240 than an ls1-powered 240 too but what are you gonna do? that guy already has the ls1 in.

The LS-1 is 5.7L Displacement. Dummys

Ok, how much will a LS-7 cost to have shipped to your door with everything you need? Yeah, yeah, its great and all but why spend that much money on an engine and put it into a car that absolutely would not be able to put down the power? Without fat ass axles for starters, and ridiculous strengthening in the rear, etc, etc. there is no way you are fully utilizing that engine. Total waste of a $10k engine into a mediocre car (a 240 is a great car, but 500 HP and 500 Torque in a flat line at any rpm in any gear was truly not meant for a 240SX.) So yeah overall very cool but totally wasteful swap into a Nissan. Who really wants to do a wasteful swap? Unless you could get a free LS-7, which then, I would probably try to put it in something just as ridiculous, but otherwise, whats the point? Seriously, whats the point? So if you would stop with your preachy sermon to us n00bs about how great small block Chevy's are, then you will notice that you still have some slobber left around your lips and lower chin area. But thats probably the way General Motors likes their blowjobs, just slightly on the slobbery side in front of a crowd of people.

OK, i am going to go to jack in the box to satisfy hunger now maybe i am just overly grumpy, due to being hungry and not having had any action in over a week now, but i had to call you out on this unhealthy homo-erotic obsession with all the new great wonders the folks at GM pull off. AND their only exciting product they have come out with in years is this one engine that comes in a fugly chopped up looking mutant descendant of past corvettes. Of course, it is impossible to not agree with the great "bang-for-the-buck performance" factor in the new Z06, and through all the years of Corvette's if you look at it performance-wise, But either you are a Corvette person or a Chevy person or whatever, or you aren't. Why are you trying to win so many people over? What are you trying to sell it to a forum of Nissan people for? Is it just because you feel good when you have the taste of GM and Iron and V-8's in your mouth?

[kron11]

god you guys are so werid...i came from a rx7 forum before turning to 240...but if i threw up a ls1 Fc3s...holy shit would i get flamed lol. im just tryign to figure you guys out..so, it doesnt piss you off that some one put a big ass american v8 in a beautifull japanease car?

[orestes]

no its just when he goes on and on about how great v8's are.

[Moak]

I appreciate the work he put into it. Aside from the paint choice and GT-R badge, that's a bad ass machine. Although putting a vette engine into a 240 kind've defeats the purpose of having a 240 if you ask me.

[D-Bo]

^ i had to think about that for a second and it turns out he made a good point

[monooxide]

"Also I've seen bolt on LS-1's in the 350rwhp range... Who knows how his intake is, or how his exhaust is modified... intake/h/e makes WAY more power on a LS-1 then it does on a KA24de. With a good exhaust and intake, along with the throttle body and intake manifold.... it is possible. A Guy with intake, ls6 intake manifold and throttle body, and a cam, claims to be making 386rwhp on an auto...."

Yea A 5.7L V8 compared to a 2.4L I4 lets see 2.3 Times the displacement... 155HP times 2.3 = 357 BHP....relatively. Generally an engine with higher displacement will get more power out of a single bolt on seeing that bolt on is benefitting 5.7L of power to our 2.4Ls. Maybe if you made a header for the LS1 that only provide a power gain for 2.4L of that engine maybe you would see the same up in whp as you would in our KA.

[orestes]

well part of the fun of turbos is TUNING .if you do it right, that amount of power seems like it might make the engine get strung out, but thats where TUNING comes in, and thats what saves your engine. thats why people go for turbos is because the TUNING aspect, anyone can make 350hp with 6 Liters, the thing with a 4 cylinder is utilizing it to its maximum potential, and making the most of what you have in a small engine. once again i turn to the HP/Liter statistics. wow 5.7 L, 350hp. NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE. not even that god damn reliable some how its going to magically never require a rebuild? THEY DONT RUN FOREVER.

dont you see how its attractive to people to try to make more with less? not everyone wants a huge ass engine. it is not always the answer.

[nissanfanatic]

I'd take my peaky, poorly designed, halfassed, POS, non V8, inferior, old ass, weak ring lands, high strung, dumb import, ricer, car anyday over a V8.

[Chuki_breath]

although its true the v8 will make more power easily. But thats obvious. I just like the hp/liter ratio....the turbo 4 is way more efficient and still saves on gas. I think there are a lot of 300-400 hp 240's daily driven.

does mynismo daily drive his shit??? i think he does.
if i ever see that amount of power i wont daily drive it just because i dont want to get in an accident and have to buy shit over again...to many dumbasses and i aint made of money. I mean one little fender bender can fuck your intercooler.......a trailor hitch would go through the mofo. And here in the ol' midwest.....hoosiers love dem trailors. How else do they tow there home??

[Chuki_breath]

and dont tell me you guys forgot about the vk powered g35(skyline there) that top secret made.....come on now. I know that it would cost an arm and a leg to do that here......just saying it can put the smack down if you have skills. Who knows maybe nissan will make a tt vk engine for the gtr......that would be sweet, and im sure that sob would be able to handle and take well to bolt ons too. ya never know untill you know. 2007 should be a great year, with the new gtr and the new zo6.

And if i had a ls1, id turbo that bitch too.

[D-Bo]

obviously v8s will make more power, they start with much more potential and 4 MORE CYLINDERS its a stupid argument. you can't even compare v8s to 2.4s
