Forget the Rb's...

If I am to do a swap other than that of the SR series... Im going with the Vq35deTT... Id rather have the V6 than an Inline six better center of gravity.

Unless you need over 500hp don't look for anything but an sr...they are great engines and easy to install. Not trying to start a war, but I recently decided against an RB25 since I realized I don't need much over 300hp which should be pretty easy to get with an SR and a lot cheaper. Thought I would share that since everyone talks about their dream 240sx with 1000hp when on the street you would hate to drive the beast...

moderation is a good thing...

i don't really see what the point is. i mean, it's a good engine and all, but that will he hard as hell to cram in there, and since you have to pay for the TT set-up on top of the price of the engine, it'll probably end up costing you more then an RB26 swap.

[R.W.240]

I think everyones right on this one the VQ would be better than an RB for more of the twisty stuff but it would cost alot and be hard as hell to fit in and work on but for drag racing the RB has proven itself and the VQ isnt worth the extra effort

and for most people the SR is just fine

if i had the money id do it over the RB.

[S13GTR]

lots of people talk down the rb26 cuz the work it takes but the vq with the twin turbo setup in a 240 would take ten times the fab.

wow why not just turbo your ka, with the kind of money you'll spend on that your could have a 500hp turbo ka with a turbo probaly even more hp. just turbo your ka to like 9psi, you'll be happy with the power, even around 260hp is still gonna be fast enough to throw you back in your seat and give the 350z a good run for the money if not beat it, isnt that good enough? and your have money to do suspension and make the car look nice.

swap =

turboed ka =

i say go for it, its going to be a very kick ass 240 what they say its your car

[240-kid]

ShinRekka - by the way were the hell are you going to get a 500hp kit huh? cause id like one

[Soyo]

I think he meant you could get a turbo kit and build it up to 500hp for less than what your looking at, plus parts would be easier to find, I mean if thats what you want go for it, but the 240 doesn't need much over 300hp and you'll fly, its a small car not a freaking chevelle or something

Not just the power its the "principle" knowing you did something that people haven't dreamed of or are scared to try because they think that the "RB" has proven itself worthy of such a swap...
