Is a 240SX is a good car...4 street racing...and for a starter car...cuz i'm think bout gettin me one...and hook it up 4 street racin(yea i know...but my bro street race and dont get caught)...waht are yall opinion?...but now i'm lendin toward a Civic 96 or higher...

If you mean you're going to get a 240 only for drag racing on the street then i wouldn't suggest getting this car because it isn't really a car used for that type of racing.

aight...but what car u suggest to get?

Get a civic, prelude... Actually just any Honda/Acura... Get a mitsubishi... The Eclipse GST is turboed and rear wheel drive (I believe)... Not really any Nissans are drag-based... Plus they break a lot! 240SX's especially! They break so much I am thinking of getting a civic!

Yeah so get something not nissan.

if you want a drag racing car, stop lying to yourself about imports and just get a 5.0 mustang, like a '91 or something. if you're serious about drag racing and want to make $$ then you need somethin you can make relatively fast for cheap, that = mustang. sorry, i know no one will agree with me b/c i'm toting a domestic but you can't disagree with the logic. BTW, whiteblur, that sileighty pic is nice.

I was gonna say that too, then I realized it would be like telling me to get a Honda or let alone... hang on this'll take me a second to say... a GM...

I FEEL DIRTY I SAID THE EVIL TWO LETTERS!!!!! AHHHHH MUST SHOWER.

i would never tell anyone to get a GM unless i felt like confessing some sins the next day. (unless its a Z06). in his case the only car i could haved mentioned was the IROC, :apuke: i hope i don't get band for mentioning it.

ohh, the gs-t is trbo fwd, and the gsx is awd. in the world of DSM's the talon tsi and eclipse gsx are king.

sorry, i hate to tell you but your best bet would not be with the 240SX.

I would recommend getting something cheaper like a civic or an old mustang. then you will have more money for parts.

tell us when you decide something

my model Pagani Zonda would wipe the floor with your murcielago:D

My 240 would literally crush your zonda:finger:

damn it! beaten again! i feel like i'm drivin the civic again

I suggest a first gen RX-7... They are extremly lightweight, pretty cheap parts, N/A rotaries are RELIABLE, and it would kill a 5.0 with just exhaust and maybe a little street porting... (just full exhaust can add up to 25% horsepower)

C:\Documents and Settings\alonso vargas\My Documents\pieces\anin.gifThese guys laff at jOO!

j/k

Seriously,what do you think of your civic now that you have a 240?

first gen rx7 is a good idea, i loved my second gen turbo 2. would you suggest the 85 gsl-se? i know there hard to find but they were the first of the 13b correct? the only thing is that the stang would have more potential for more power and i'd hate to see such a great sports car, like the first gen rx7, regulated to drag racing.

240SX was not built to be a drag racing car. it was built with the track in mind, and is therefore a spectacular handling car. good 240SX drag cars HAVE been made in the past, but they're better suited to track, and there are better drag cars out there.

and just because your bro street races and doesn't get caught doesn't mean that a) you should do it or b) it's not illegal. personally, i hope he DOES get caught, because it's extremely illegal and endangering to other's lives. if you do get caught, i will not have any sympathy for you.

My friend has an 85 gsl-se with just exhaust and it is faster than my car. They were not the first of the 13b's. RX-4's and REPU's had them in 1973.

Yeah, dont get the car for just drag racing, first gens are the best of both worlds. Awesome track cars and fast drag cars.

tough shit for you. keep hoping, maybe it'll happen. :rolleyes:

what the hell is your problem? street racing is illegal and dangerous. if you want to do it, then go ahead, but don't come whining and bitching when you get caught.

btw, better watch your tongue. there's mods roaming these forums alot more these days, and one of your posts was already removed from another thread.

beleive me. i speak from experiance. street racing is not as cool as what you would think. being underage was one of the only thing that saved me from horrible legal repercusions.

moved to Street Racing forum...

you can have the most fun dragging if you get some kind of sleeper... like a dodge spirit r/t :p that'll make people shit their pants

anyone else know of any good cars for streeting besides mustangs? i was wondering the same thing.

GET A BIMMER DUDE! gotta love the inline 6!!
hehe kidding, yeah i vote mustang as well. good old american muscle.

ghost, i still love my civic, its not neglected. i still buy performance parts for it and want to swap in a b18b by the end of the summer. mynismo, i would get a dodge daytona turbo (90-93 if i remember right), there origional and pretty cool. it was another car i was considering when i was looking for a 240. its 200hp stock, if you find the right model (i don't remember which is which anymore tho, after gettin my 240 i kinda let that info leek outta my head) i you want to see potential for this car, just rent the move "the wraith" with charlie sean (i like him cuz we both love call girls and strippers). the car he drove was called the turbo interceptor, i don't remember what the real mopar desigantion for the car was but it use the engine from the dodge daytona turbo and produced 400hp. that movie got me hooked on cars from an early age.

"The Wraith" was Chrysler's PPG Interceptor and was indeed a 400+ single turbo 2.2L Mopar four. However, the real secret to its power (and if you can find this part, you're a GOD) was its cylinder head. The Interceptor ran relatively light boost (about 12lbs) but did so through a DOHC head. This head was manufactured as a special order piece through Direct Connection (now Mopar) and made the 2.2L a Giant Killer. Unfortunately, it has gone the way of the ChryCo factory Aspen/Volare Hemi K-member.

God I miss my Dad's GLH Omni.

Don't worry, you won't get banned for saying GM here. The moderator of THIS forum(ME), has owned 4 different Camaro's:)

When did this thread move to the street racing forums!?

How about an IROC Z28 Camaro? 3rd gen f-bodies are pretty hard to beat for bang for the buck. A 3rd gen f-body(camaro and firebird) with a 350(5.7L) in a relatively healthy shape should be putting something around 14.5's up on the board at the 1/4 track.

Other than that, I'd look into either the Foxbody 5.0 Stang or a turbo DSM. Oh yea.. how about a MKIII Supra Turbo?

I saw a civic once at the street races that had the same thing.It also had reactive headers,msd ignition,ITR pistons,CAI,and some other small things like a high flo cat,I cant remember...anyways,My friend in his mustang GT 5speed raced him a few times,and lost everytime.

You shoulda seen the look on his face,he couldnt believe he lost to a 4 door civic about 4 times in a row.
none of us could believe it either.

That thing was pretty fast especially for being non-VTEC

Yeah so get something not nissan.

so he could get a honda odessey and rice that out.. ANY honda? lol j/k

only nissan i would get is the last gen 300zx with twin turbos if i was using it for racing

240sx has crazy potential....maybe not with the existing engine....but swap in a sr20det or if u are really sick a RB26Dett...that thing will rock any car! I am guessin you don't mean dragging your car on a strip...so i say 240sx is not a bad choice....not like u are goin to be racing 1/4 mile all the time....240 with the engine got a pretty good kick off the line...so...but i am extremely biased so i dunno if u wanna listen to me. I own a 240sx and handles great its a 91...its old but can out perform many cars the same age...not speed wise though. Parts are starting to become very abundant and so are engines....look on the streets of japan and u probably find ae86's and silvia's everywhere!!! well maybe not...but japanese people love'em and so do I:cool:

sounds like someone that just got out of a superstreet magazine. listen bro, dont go into the 240 forum unless you wanna get flamed

Originally posted by Sil-Eighty

how wrong are you... there are ka's running 10's out there on 240s...

I think you should get a car because you like it not because of its potential.

a 240SX can be a reasonable drag/street car but i'd make it rounded and give it huge track potential too. :o

yuo can make any car fast. That civic might have had some experience tuner behind its work or someone with some knowledge that didn't rice it out, actually spent their money on making it go fast....

<----I would own a higher rated hp NA ITR that is modified and Im even a Nissan fan.....

hey NSX how do you like that twin exhaust on that S15... I just noticed your sig.... looks goddamn sweet!

That is great...superstreet....thing is I been into silvia's and 240's long before they started goin crazy on magazines...I thought maybe if i talked like that it be easier for people to relate...since not everyone out there is all technical. Like i said I am an enthusiast...and another thing....of course there are ka's that go fast...(too bad I wasn't talking about a stock 240)...but the engine itself isn't that great...and of course u have to look at potential when buying a car...you can't pump the same amount of power from any engine...or pull off the same performance from any car.

Dont get a 240SX...honda all the way...

Dont get a Honda, get a 626 ES :finger: . Once you feel the VRIS open and the torque kick in, you'll forget all about vtec :D . Decent aftermarket support, still growing. Im about to run a greddy cat back, hotshot or bosal headers. Already have a hotshot cold air intake. I just have to buy parts for the probe gt or mazda mx6. Its a fun starter car, and has potential. Especially as a decently modded sleeper, turbo anyone :D

A mazda with a KLZ-FE +Turbo is badass

a Protoge w.KLZ Turbo and a spool/line-loc runs 11.5 over here its insane

Okay. I have been "gone" for a while. Actually I have been reading posts but not responding because the ignorance drove me away. But I'm back. This post has brought be back.

Not that great of an engine? Not. That. Great. Of an engine? I am going to hold my tounge so I don't get banned with my first comeback post, but you need to do research. I am going to ignore all of that total bullshit you said about being a 240 enthusiast, being into it before superstreet, etc, and pretend I didnt hear it. It's already obvious that it's total crap, so I don't need to point it out. *points it out* Nevermind doing research. Just leave.

Anyways, the KA-T is an excellent choice for a straight-line engine. It's internals hold a rediculous amount of power stock. But of course there are better overall choices, such as a Mustang as previously stated. I really really would not reccomend a IROC....cause they are dog shit(IMHO). Any LT-1 would do though:) But if you want an import drag car, go for a CRX. Super light, super cheap. Especially if you swap in a D16Z6 (92-95 Civic EX, yes it has VTEC if you care that much). You can find people literally giving them away, and they are superrrrrrr cheap to replace if you ever blow something up, which is very likeley in drag racing. I would reccomend a B16 or some other DOHC honda engine, but they are expensive to replace in comparison, and you can still get alot of power out of that little single cam. It's a great beginners drag racing motor.

PUhahahaha....aight I am not a 240 fan...i am a silvia fan...of course the engine can handle some power...it is a truck engine....trucks do have power....I am just tryin to say that sr20det motor is a lot better to work with... also the ka weighs a lot more than a sr20det with less power...the sr20det would be a better balanced engine for this car....cuz it was orginially made for it! in response to ur "inciteful" remark... if u think the KA is so great...why think about putting an rb25 in?

Number One: It's "insightful," not "inciteful."

Number Two: I think that the "KA is so great" because it is. It's a good motor, no matter how you use it. But for my purposes (originality, style, power), an RB25 setup is a much better choice.

And Number Three: "of course the engine can handle some power...it is a truck engine....trucks do have power....I am just tryin to say that sr20det motor is a lot better to work with..."

It's alot better to work with? It is absolutley and utterly impractical to "work with" because it came in Japan.... It costs way more to replace things you've blown up, it's harder to get tuning advice, it's not smog legal...what are you talking about? Oh wait, you have no damn clue cause you're a poser. You don't even know what a Silvia is, let alone claim to be a fan of it. Hurry, go look up the difference between a 240sx and Silvia so you can claim to have known all along in your intelligent rebuttal! Oh yea, Sil-Eighty, what exactly does your username mean? What IS a SilEighty?




SIgh. I'm done flaming you man. All I can say is that you deserved it, and I held back as much as I could. Dude, just don't claim to know all all these things and spout off false knowledge amongst people who know what they are talking about. People might actually listen to you and waste alot of money:D Just read through some posts if you're that interested in 240s. Learn some. Then, once you start knowing some things for REAL, you can give advice thats right, and people won't yell at you. It's just upsetting to see people spout shit off like that, whether it's about 240s, Civics, or Corvettes.

Thanks 4 the feedbacks...aight...
i'm an import fan all the way...if i have to go with a American car it would be a Mustang...cuz my dad know shit on how to tune a mustang up...he has a '72 Mustang Mach1...and a matter of fact my dad street race 2...with his Mustang(most of the time) and his Focus(some of the time)...while my bro run a '93 Mazda Mx6 LS...it a nice car it pretty light...so as u can see i grew up around street racing...

I did some research on the Eclipse before...it said if u suit up a Eclipse without any kind of cooling system u have a highly chance of blowin out the engine...leadin to a lost of a good engine...but there is a way of preventin that...addin in Intake System, Hi-Preformance Fans, Radiator, Cat-Back Exhast System, Pulleys, and Timing Belts...addin these in could cost me more than if i just get a Honda...addin these in the Eclipse is not a 100% sure thing that u wont blow out ur engine, cuz u still have a chance of Blowin out the engine...and i know some of u are goin to said u can blow out ur engine in ANY car...but a Eclipse's engine could blow out faster than any car on the street...but i believe this can only happen on the Eclipse's engine that come with stock turbo...

Yea the CRX is a very light car...but i'm not all for the body style...if i go with a Honda i would go with a Civic...i like the body style and it pretty light...when i say body style...i mean couple and hatchback...i hate hatchback...but if i go with a hatchback it would be a Civic...the kind of Civic i'm lendin on now is '96-'98 Honda Civic Si...

yea that bout it...well i still have a open mind...so i'm still lookin for some feedbacks...

here we go again... :p :p :p

do you even know what a silvia is? obviously not, because you don't even know what a ka24(d)e is. a ka-t in the long run, for dragging, would KILL the sr. period.

ka24(d)e - 2.4 L
sr20det - 2.0 L

displacement rules over anything. and it's just ready for dragging.

if you want a better handling car you go with the sr.

and also you say it's an sr is a better balanced car than the ka.... that is completely wrong. you have to relocate the battery to the trunk when you install the sr for even weight balance.

the ka and rb are two completely different systems. RB IS THE KING OF NISSAN ENGINES. IT IS A BEAST, especially in a 240 or some other lighter car.

Alright I'm glad you did some research. The Elcipse I don't know shit about, so I can't verify that info, but it sounds true I suppose. However, for the Civic thing.

If you're going to make it a daily driver, then get a Civic coupe. Do NOT get an Si, it's a huge waste of money. It's really slow for what it is, you should just buy an EX or something and with all that money you will save, make it way faster than any stock or slightly modded Si. I have alot of experience at street races, and I am telling you right now that unless you have TMPS, or Time, Money, Patience, Skill, you will not beat very many people. Whatever you do, do it right, and for help with that come to us. Just don't go for that Si cause it's such a waste of valuable tuning money, unles you realy realllly want the prestige. And all you honda gurus correct me if I am wrong, I thought that the Si only came in the 92-95 hatch form, and the 99-01 coupe form(the one Youngin is talking about). With my experience, civics get harder to make faster as they get newer. I would say the easiest to make go very fast is the 92-95 years, but the 96+ look better.

1.The KA is NOT a truck engine.The KA was actually used in racing before it was ever put in a truck.

2.How do you know?:rolleyes:

3.The KA Weighs what,+/- 4lbs more than the SR20DET.Tru,it has less power in NA trim,but if you turbo charge it,it WILL have more power than an SR

My bandwagon jumper sense is tingling

If your such a 240 maven, you'd know you cant get a Silvia from a 240SX...

Let us thank Ricky Chu for creating the 240 fad.

J-Spec...yea u right 96+ Civic Si they never made...but the 96+ Honda Civic EX...are the American version of the Si in that year...from what i heard...

Just get a civic or an eclipse...

If you wanna be quick, get a 5.0 Mustang, and Nitrous it...instant 10s

theres nothing wrong with rick chu. he didnt do anything besides wanting to get laid. and whats a better pick-up line than "hey shorty, my car is on the cover of a magazine"

i personally dont like that car even though im a 240 fan... but anyways :bigthumb: :bigthumb: whatever gets the job done

:thumbsdow

He's a poser if you ask me

:thumbsdow"Sony 6.5-inch component speakers and tweeters, a custom amp rack that accommodates two Kicker amps, a Clarion 6-disc changer, and a head-thumping 12-inch Kicker Comp VR subwoofer":shakehead

:thumbsdow"So far Rick Chu hasn't had a chance to do a lot in the way of racing with his Americanized Silvia"


:headshake"Chu has attended a number of show events in the last two years and usually comes away with first or second place, including top honors at 3 Import Showoff events in 2000. Look for more of him in 2001":thumbsdow

Ricky is :gay:

Looks like a show car to me...

a ricey 240 is a big:nono:

i find nothing wrong in show car 240's...i mean you gotta admit, they look damn good.

and not everyone is a hardcore racer like a few members on our forums.

if its a showcar and he likes it that way thats fine. if its a showcar and he calls it the ultimate drift/drag machine, then i find something wrong with it

i think the reason he gets jumped on by so many people is because he was one of the 1st people to put 240s into the mainstream, but if you think about it, the 240 is such a great car, that it woulda been put into the mainstream by someone else eventually. and if that did happen, all the posts with rick chu's name on it could easily be replaced with "joe silvia"

plus i wouldnt call him a poser because of the s15 lights, i mean he was one of the 1st people with the strawberry conversion


and the tv thing, id LOVE to have a tv in my car...use it for dvds, gauges (via hks or aem piggyback systems) cds....all sorts of shit. but i dont have the money. plus i have a backpack for school in my trunk, extra pairs of shows a basketball and many books...so what would i care if my car has an extra 7 lbs on it? man, one night at a chinese buffet and me myself adds an extra 7lbs to the car as well...

and btw, dorkin, im not pizza faced!!!!..........anymore.....

i remember somebody sayin to get a CRX and drop in a D16Z6 in it...why dont i get a CRX and keep the engine it got in it?...i know the horsepower suck on it stock but fuck it...try to find a '91 Honda CRX Si(102hp)i think that right...and tune it up...or just find a CRX(98hp)and tune it up...that would work wouldnt it:confused:, so i dont have to spend another 500 on the D16Z6,

But i got a question...if i do swap in a D16Z6 in the CRX...what would it probably do in a 1/4 miles?...just a guess i would need...

i think the reason he gets jumped on by so many people is because he was one of the 1st people to put 240s into the mainstream, but if you think about it, the 240 is such a great car, that it woulda been put into the mainstream by someone else eventually. and if that did happen, all the posts with rick chu's name on it could easily be replaced with "joe silvia"

plus i wouldnt call him a poser because of the s15 lights, i mean he was one of the 1st people with the strawberry conversion


and the tv thing, id LOVE to have a tv in my car...use it for dvds, gauges (via hks or aem piggyback systems) cds....all sorts of shit. but i dont have the money. plus i have a backpack for school in my trunk, extra pairs of shows a basketball and many books...so what would i care if my car has an extra 7 lbs on it? man, one night at a chinese buffet and me myself adds an extra 7lbs to the car as well...

and btw, dorkin, im not pizza faced!!!!..........anymore.....


The point is, he makes himself out to be a hardcore JDM drifter, and never takes it to the track, all the while dissing up "single-cam KA fags"

You know, he had a red S14 w.ricey bodykit and wheels, plus NOS before the "Silvia"

Not everyone has mommy and daddys money to spend.

Good choice on the CRX

that's pretty much it... we do suck.. not much we can do about it

a single cam modded up though could kill his stock sr. i believe stock sr does 1/4mi in 14.5, and ka-t's could easily go in 13's and even 12's.

i remember somebody sayin to get a CRX and drop in a D16Z6 in it...why dont i get a CRX and keep the engine it got in it?...i know the horsepower suck on it stock but fuck it...try to find a '91 Honda CRX Si(102hp)i think that right...and tune it up...or just find a CRX(98hp)and tune it up...that would work wouldnt it:confused:, so i dont have to spend another 500 on the D16Z6,

But i got a question...if i do swap in a D16Z6 in the CRX...what would it probably do in a 1/4 miles?...just a guess i would need...


Of course you could keep the stock motor, but I'm sure it would have a hundred million miles on it:rolleyes:

Plus the D16Z6 has 125hp stock, and for 500$ I dont think you could get from 98hp to 125hp in your stock high mileage CRX. Not to mention that it has VTEC, everyones dream. Oh yea, the D16 can handle alot more power as well. You can find a setup so cheap I think thats it's worth it.

If you swapped it straight into the CRX, I am guessing it would pull high 15's with good driving skill.

125hp?? gees im glad i dont drive a honda :lol:

nissan engines rule...

why am i here? who are you? where am i?



j/p i just feel like taggin along on this topic. anyways, KA on a 240 is not a truck engine. our engine is made in japan, the hard body KA is made in mexico. the hardbody KA has no oil squirters on the rods, the 240 KA does. a KA running the same boost will make more power then a SR running on the same boost. a KA can handle inbetween 250 to 300 wheel hp on stock internals. the SR will need a turbo upgrade to even make that much power.

I thought only the DOHC versions had oil squirters not the SOHC ones...

well since i'm a twin cam guy, i always have a habit to only think of hte twin cam... doh anyways, i'm not too sure about the single cam though, but i'm pretty sure that the KA in any 240 is a better engine then the ones found in the truck.

the one i'm lookin for is a '91 Honda CRX Si it has 108hp on it...plus what is confusin to me...is if i swap in a D16Z6...what kind of car it come out of...like when u buy a intake system it go by the kind of car u got...So what car does that engine come out of?

And when i swap a engine do i need to switch other parts...like the transmission...if i do what parts do i need to switch to swap the engine?

The D16Z6 comes from a 92-95 Civic EX. You will need the tranny, ecu, and other things, but you shouldnt locate all the parts yourself. Buy a front clip of a wrecked civic for everything you will need. Start a thread in the 92-95 Civic forum here on AF. There are some Honda junkies that can help you more than I.

ecu? and when u say front clip u mean and fuck up civic? at the junk yard?

A 240sx is a drifting car, that is why this is one of the more popular cars in japan because it's a rearwheel drive. for a starter car I would suggest a civic because it's cheap on all the parts and modifications. and it's very easy to fix. But if you want to start with the new craze of drifting I would go with the 240.

drifting isn't a craze

Euro's are a craze

secondly Drifting isn't that easy.

thirdly there's nothing wrong with a KA
