Who can answer THIS!!!
From your intense knowledge and experience with the 240sx and the abundance of swap capabilities, tell me what your best engine setup would be for a '96 240sx le that is to be driven daily(i.g. needs to be relatively dependable), but would need immense power at the accelerator pedal to be used in gettin girls and satisfying my need for speed. The engine swap needs to be within $5500 budget. But Stage 1, 2, and 3 upgrades will be allowed a new and much larger budget. Just need to know what you think would be the best step in the right direction...

Re: Who can answer THIS!!!
I would say if you want to get girls and you have a need for speed I would get an RB, either a RB20DET or a RB25DET because they put them in skylines so you know they are dependable and the swap is relitivly easy also. you can get a front clip (engine, trans, ECU) for around $3k-$3.5k

Re: Who can answer THIS!!!
sell the car and get a different car, maybe a honda....if you are just looking to get girls and go fast....it would be cheap to make them go fast or just get a skyline....oh and if you are looking for girls who only want you for your car, you better take car of the car.....

LS1 T56 swap, stock
350hp 375lbs of torque, stock reliabilty without one modification. Thats power and thats reliable. And will smoke tires and impress girls with the immense torque more then a SR20 would hehe... unreliable non daily driver for 5,5k? KA24DET built up bottom end and valvetrain with a decent turbo running high boost......

most manual cars can spin tires hehe, its a true burnout that requires immense torque downlow, atleast a good 300lbs of it. Japanese motors just don't produce torque like a pushrod v8. Torque is what moves a car. Japanese motors make lesser torque and only high in the powerband..
ya ya ya everyone says Jap cars rev out quicker so thats not a factor, but I beg to differ. The Impala revs out very quickly, when u stomp on it in 1st it bangs 2nd gear right away and 3rd is real close to it. It shifts faster then a 5spd B16 honda motor.

Re: Who can answer THIS!!!
girls like eclipses but they don't like guys driving in em, what girls like a man who drives a girl's car. Anyways, if you're trying to impress a girl, a 240 won't do it. The only cars that would is a BMW, Benz, or any other luxury car. Besides, if you're trying to get girls from your car, a 240sx won't do it...
So don't go out and spend 6gs on mods expecting girls will crowd around you, it's not going to happen, and you're just waisting your money if that's what you want to spend your money for. As far as speed, KA-T would be a good daily driver.

Why are you guys focusing on one sentence of my thread. My point was to ask you what you thought would be the best engine for this car, and i was trying to give you an idea of where the product is heading. I love my 240, and just wanted to know whats best for it. I have been leaning towards the black-top sr, but wasnt sure, since i heard all of this talk about the rb's. Back to topic, what is the best thing to do engine/performance wise to a '96 240sx le?

i don't wanna spend much more than $5000 on the engine/tranny swap, after that, it doesnt matter. I want to be able to do atleast 90% of the install, with less than 2 weeks down time for the swap. I am rather handy, but the install shouldnt take too much custom work, such as machining.By too much, i mean more than one trip to an outside source.
