Seriouly, who does something like this? Why waste your life away on a project like this?

Yeah, that's kind of sad, I hate weirdo engine swaps, can people just be happy with what they have??

i dunno that sounds retarded to me. why didnt he just swap the SR20 or something? wtf.... would have been cheaper and better, not to mention he put FORD shit in a Nissan. god that even makes me mad

Wow thats amazing I didn't realize anyone could be so damn DUMB!!!!!

I think I remember that guy. IIRC, he used to be on here as SHO411 back in the day.

that is a waste of a 240...what a shame

why?




why?





why?




i guess we will never fined out!

Actually, one of the Ford SHO engines was built by Yamaha.

LOL yeah there was that SHO411 guy. maybe its him. anyways what a dumbass for getting that far into it and thinking someone else will want to takeover.

Gotta admit. It's original.

Would of been interesting to see how it performed to say the very least.

Putting that V6 into it wouldn't of been much different had he chosen a VG or VQ nissan motor. Same concept, just a Toyota/Yamaha V6.

Originality points for him.
No Completion points though.

So he's still at 0. :lol:

Yes, but the SHO's are front wheel drive, so is would be nothing like swapping in a VG or VQ because he would have to convert it over. Which I have no idea how he planned on doing that. I don't think he had any idea either, which is probably why he is selling the damn thing.

wow selling a unfinished project car is fucking retarded. i wonder if it was SHO i think i remember him being from GA. he just lost points in my book for non completion of the project.

yea I remember him.He sucked

yea I remember him.He sucked

HAH that just sounded really funny.

HAH that just sounded really funny.

so do Hondas.

thanks. im not even gonna say anything

Wow...how...um...interesting...of all the engines to put in one of those cars, why that one? I guess he just had it layin around...

o well nothing anyone can do. THats alot of damn work though as in just getting it back to normal. THe interior who cares about, id take that out anyway but sheesh all that other shit too. O well im sure someone will buy it or a company or something. I mean whats it worth about 500 bux?? Nice buy for someone with mad 240 parts laying around.

why would a VG swap be more complicated?

because its a little bigger i think, and its a twin turbo, so your going to have to MAKE all plumbing fit into a 240. Just look at a 300 engine bay. Its packed fatter than a van smuggling mexicans. ..........(no offense to anyone, stereotypes are a bitch. To jab back at myself here's a classic chris farley quote, "KILL WHITEY")........anyways its just a biatch to fit in there. Im sure they both require alot of fabrication, but since the vg is already turbo you have to make room for shit. Both engines would have there own little tweaks to fit im assuming. And yea i wouldnt want to have to buy a vg engine.

I want to see a VK 240 lol, that would be cool i guess??

I think it is pretty interesting, good motor as said before. I would take it over NA VG anytime.
Very original too.

wow good timing srpower.

see you knew what i meant. The truck engine. Not to start a war, but these nissan truck engines are just sexy. THats 2 now lol, i had too, i had too, it was waiting to be said. From ka to vk. i say they start up a phatvk-t.com!!!!! ok im gay.

Hahaha, now a real truck motor. I think that would be cool, still nissan.

ok im gay.

You said it yourself haha. A titan engine in a 240 would be ungodly, it would be priceless to pull up next to someone and just have them stare with tongue on floor, all the while you sit there smiling.

yeah Z's are ugly under the hood, true its probably worse than just converting the engine to RWD and other random things.

To each his own, I happen to think the z engine bay is sexy as shit.

I value the simplicity of our engien bays...

But cool swap. Anything you do that kicks some ass at the track is cool.

I want an SRT-10 powered Geo Metro...

Lol, you won't be needing a driveshaft, it would be like Trany>Rear diff, and you on top of it in a lil seat. Or better yet make a VK powered Nissan Micra, If someone makes one of those I will worship them.
Carol Shelby would be happy.

Guess I got my 15min of FAME.................. I really don't see what is everyones problem, if you've really got an issue with it, buy your own 240, as I did, there tons of them, just come up with the cash. I really don't have time to finish the project, but I wanted something I was more familiar, and I know tons more about SHOs' and domestics vs Imports. And for those who bitch about costs, learn how to work on cars, and then things get easier and cheaper. Yeah I didn't complete the project, I don't really have much time........guess I get 0 Kudos for that HAha........I have an option, keep it in my garage and let it collect dust till I ever get time to deal with it, or get rid of it and buy something else later, besides, I've got a Lincoln LS, even though it's got a V8 with less CC than some V6, it serves it's purpose for now.....and why am I even bothering defending my self, I did what I want, with what I had, why is everyone minding other ppls stuff?????????? That I'll never know, in any case, my LS drives better, so I opted to get rid of it.
There go my drifting days :frown:
Thanks SR for the back up, took me the last 4 months to agree to get rid of my SHO Blocks, I got my SHO to rev to 7500 easy, Yamaha did a great job on those engines, they could rev all day, and they last a lifetime, seen SHO with over 200K.

Damit, I feel like going to finish the damn project out of spite, but Career or Hobby............................hmmmmmmmmm....... ............. Which way Should I go?????????????????????

I more or less respect what you were trying to do, however bizarre it is. Nothing wrong with doing what you can with what you've got...and the SHO engines aren't horrible...I guess. I've never heard anything about them, at least. The tranny's in the jelly bean generation blow chocolate balls...I DO know that. Buddy of mine had a jelly bean SHO and that POS dropped the tranny at 30K miles. He sold it and now drives a VW Jetta VR6...he's had that car for a long ass time, now.

...and they last a lifetime, seen SHO with over 200K.

200K isn't "a lifetime", dude...you would know this if you were part of the import crowd...

Actually the damn tranny was built by ford, that is why they kept breaking, they put a cheap @SS tranny on the SHO block, had to replace mine at 103K. The 96 and up SHO had a Ford Built V8 which was crappy too, they kept breaking the timing belt at 60K and causing catastrophic failure.
And in any case, I didn't want to stop my project, but I spend over 14hrs a day at my office MON-SAT or if not, I'm on appointments, so I literally have no time to work on the damn thing. That's why I even stopped posting here.
Trust Me, when you get into enough shit like I did, the stiff fines, lawyer fees, the probation, community service, suspensions, High Ins Rates, having a wreck, and tons more, not to mention seeing others getting arrested, and the way the law is cracking down on racers here in GA, Trust me, you will start to think differently, atleast I did, some of my old buddies saw me and made fun of my grocery getter, most beat me with their Stangs and TT imports, but I still beat a few of them, but, Life goes on.........................some say I chickened out, others said we were cowards, but the funny thing was, even before I left, the crowd was getting smaller and smaller, now, I see those who left early driving in knew Cars and having their own businesses, and the very few that we left still riding in the same old cars we left them with. Life goes on, and some of us move on, that's why every time you log on, there is some knew n00bie (which we start out hating) and the older gen leaving.
Damn I sound like an old F**K!!!!!!!!!!!!! :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser:

I actually found out one of my buddies who we used to hang out with, slammed into a truck and died Last summer over a stupid bet, after that, and after the arrests at Moreland (for all those who live in GA)suprisingly, they all stopped street racing, now they just hang out.
Anyway, Life has a funny way of turning out........................ :2cents:

What does anything expcept for the first 2 or 3 sentences you said have anything to do with this post?? And LongLivetheZ is right, if you were part of the import crowd, then you would realize that 200k isnt shit on an import, but on a domestic its another story. Sorry, I don't mean to get the Import vs Domestic fight started.

well its actually an import motor, made by Yamaha of Japan. its not a domestic engine from usa

I know that. Not talking about JUST the motor. There are other parts of the car, the transmission, for instance, that are domestic made that are crap...those are the parts that won't last long. My point is, 200K isn't much for an import car as a whole...I didn't say an import ENGINE.

The SHO v6 ownz most N/A import v6's.....

HA....k....they aren't bad engines, but I'm not even saying anything about that...

a VG30E might be more reliable and longer lasting, but it doesn't have the power either.

You're comparing the SHO engine to an engine that was designed over 20 years ago. It's a very simple engine that CAN produce power but isn't much from the factory. I personally would rather have a reliable engine than a powerful one that I can't ever even drive...

umm i dunno. i cant really think of too many import v6's that are not better than it. C32B, VQ35, VQ30, the VR-6 from the TT, maybe not the VG, but at least it already is RWD. so...ok maybe its better than like a toyota sr5 v6 from a 4-runner or whatever, but thats where i see the list ending. what specific import v6's were you talking about?

I don't know about calling SHO411 a coward, he did have the balls to start such a cool project. Yeah maybe not finish it but still I think it is not a coward thing to do.
SHO- have you though of giving it away to somebody to finish, then sell a complete thing and share the money? That will be IMO a better choice.
And yeah the shit in GA with all these people dying and shit, I've lost some friends in accidents, I never race on streets after that. (did stupid shit though, like going into turns with E-brake).

Coward is kinda the wrong word...

Pretty cool idea, man...

Dude...I'm sure we've all done some stupid shit...I've got PLENTY of stories...but if pulling the e-brake while turning is the worst you've ever done, nice halo, kid...

longlivetheZ, you must stick around.

^ i wouldn't worry.. this forum is like gravity. everyone just can't stay away from it...

(unless of course we're banned...)

Hey man that shit was fun, in rain, I was going slow (30mph) and just want to feel out of controll, also tried turning around going at that speed backwards, it was on a big ass parking lot with no poles around. See I am safe!

ok if thats what we are talking about, N/A, front-wheel drive V6's then i guess the SHO is the great leader in this proud and hotly contested performance class. Congratulations, SHO motor.

But what you said was import V6's and thats some pretty strong company like I listed before VR6, VQ35, C32B. i mean cmon really theres no comparison there.

so...what you're saying is....Ford sucks?

yeah... Fix Or Repair Dailly

Orestes...I like you...short, to the point and funny as hell. "Orestes"...do you happen to know where that name came from? Do you happen to like A Perfect Circle?

I'm not going anywhere, nissanfanatic. I kinda like this forum. But it is good to know I'm loved...lol. I just don't get why this sr20det dude is throwing such a hissy fit about the SHO engine. Your name implies that you're a Nissan guy but you're raving, and has BEEN raving, about Ford. Go figure. Sure...the SHO, in certain incarnations, is one of my less hated Fords, but damn dude...it's no ferrari...chill.

Pavlo...pavlo, my boy...you'd wet yourself if I told you some of the stupid shit I did when I was younger... :iceslolan Let's just say that, in hindsight, I've come to realize that I'm one of the luckiest mother fuckers to still be walking the planet earth...
