rb25 in a 240z

[mynismo]

posting it here because no one would answer in the z forums... it's pretty dead over there

just seen a 240z with an rb26

wayy too much work... but would a rb25 go in easier? i have been contemplating the rb25 go into a 240sx for my next car but i really really like the old z's, they look better and they weigh a good 400 lbs lighter.

anyone know anything about this swap, and know of anyone who would be able to perform the swap for a (somewhat) resonable price? it would cost $6500 from http://www.xatracing.com/xatracingp...ol1=nissan.html to make it happen in a 240sx.

if this can't happen for a good $$, what's the best way to get a good 325hp out of the 2300 lb z?

later guys and ty for the help,
mark

i thought the RB25 was roughly the same size? I could be wrong.....

If you are going to get the rb25 into a 240sx I can reasonably beat the 6500 quoted from that shop. Send me a private message or email me at [email protected] and spill the details.

you're prolly right... what about an sr20 or rb20?

i just really want to know... if someone can fit an sr in a 240z i could upgrade ecu, injectors, lsd (available for a z?) and turbo and be running just about a flat 12.0 for about $5000 (plus $2000 for the car).

there any turbo kits for the old z? im sure there are... i want to push about 300hp. stock z has 150hp.

actually forget it. i want a stickshift and the 240z is a four-speed.

researched and the stickshift's are actually slower than the autos (more spinning of wheels... see i told you autos are faster in some cars )

im just going with the r26 in a 240sx... im going to try to get it installed locally by my friends at nissan, maybe i could work out a deal with them. if not i'll give my project to you gtr

whatever works. Im not going anywhere so if you want a rb let me know.

RB25 and RB26 won't fit without lots of custom work. SR20 can fit pretty easily but is still quite a bit of work...

or you could easily but a ls-1 into the 240Z and LE28ET would be cool to with the cranked up boost and an intercooler

just to let you know, the 4 speed is a manual transmission, back inthe 70's they even had 3 speed manuals, and ifyou did do a swap, the transmission in the car probably wouldn't be used with the new engine

[mynismo]

yea, they are 4spd's but i have seen a z with an sr20. they are actually somewhat common engine swaps besides the chevy v8's.

i'll prolly wait a few months, maybe during or after winter will order a rb25 240. i'll let you know gtr.... really you should start just making them and selling them on ebay! they would go like hotcakes.
