i have a base model 240sx 5 speed that a kid attempted to swap a ka24de motor in (miserably failed) i was in the prossess of finishing the swap- cuz it also came with another ka24de. Well i was then going to turbo it and blah. and it is so much money to go sr rb or even turbo ka to make the power i want to make that i have been looking at other options. what motor make alot of power in the statesthat i can swap in. teh couple i have come down to is ; 1: the 4g63 6 bolt turbo motor out of the first gen eclipse. there is even a mounting late onto the auto style rwd gm platform trans' the motor barely modified easily makes well over 300hp relaibly the problem with eclispes is the tranny and its eitehr awd or fwd. bleh for a real performace car ie zr1 ferarri etc. yes teh new gtr is great but the eclipse has nowhere near that kind of tech behind it. so i am thinking about bolting a 4g63 to a 240sx tranny that i already have. making my own plate and atempting to figure out eh swap. OR
2: i can use teh new mickney motorsports kit to swap in the chevy small block old school style. keep it carbed mildly build it and come up with a drivshaft and all that.
heres my problem What is going to be the cheapest build to 300 hp out of the motor with a 150 shot of nos. (btw weight is not a concern of mien i have already factored it in either way btw the best handling cars are 54/46 or 53/47
i haven't come up with cheap gm tranny that i like (i wants some kind of overdrive- a 3 spd th350 or 400 are cheap and strong BUT its a 3spd no gearing no top end i AM going to swap in the 3:56 gears fromt eh q45 with the vlsd that came int he r200v that it has so that'll help but not enough in my mindset correct me if im wrong pus if i go manual then i have to swap all teh hydrolic shtuf for the gm manuals which are hella lots of $$$ )
Here is another factoid TUNING gee which is going to be easier to swap as far as tech difficulty probably the carbed sbc no wires less weight plus no figuing out what does teh yellow striped wire do on that thing there???? the 4g63 (turbo btw if you did not figure that out) i would have to come up with wiring it and i cant tune it (not really) at idle and ease of the sbc i need computer stuff now play with different ratios i would say it is the cheapest to tune for the import stuff though hence one of the reasons why i chose it of the two, it has a eprom chip in the comp.
so i am getting the poitn nwo that i haev no idea which IDEA is going to be the best all around car- say its for the challenge (its not but thats kinda the point of grassroots motorsports imho- to make the cheapest best all around race car plus it being a daily driver mines not but i want the possiblity in case my b20 vtec blwos up in my si)
so all that info now said; what do you all think i should do i have too much info to really make this decision myself. sbc carbed? OR 4g63(t) with 240sx tranny?
