new from Texas. 240's ;)
 

hello,
my name is Alex
im from Tyler Texas (for now while im finishing up my degree). We also have a private shop down here (Objective D). Im all out drift, sometimes drag (but not a whole lot)
I own a few 240sx,
-maroon s14 that is my track car with sr20det (thats where Sar came from. a lazy redneck way of saying "s-r". nickname stuck with the car)
i currently dailing this as headgasket blew in my daily driver
-s13 240sx stock auto ;) daily
-s14 shell. for projects and fabrication.

im currently in the market for ls1 swap. so is my friend from our shop also. i will be parting out my sr in the future and im using the spare s14 rolling chassis for fabrication.

recently i visited Phillip in henderson who put the Elcamino together and i got even more reinforced to do the swap!

basically, im looking for information on parts and fab. ideas for the ls1 into s14.

:)

here are some pics if you are curious

anyway i love v8s and how the responce was in my friends TA.

but im also a huge nissan fan and im looking for a nasty tourqy motor hehe.. that would be reliable. so naturally ls1 has being growing on me for a while.

i got the tools and everything i need for the job just looking into doing more research. i know for some 240s are not their cup of tee

but its ok ;)

welcome lol we have a dude on here with the setup your trying to have. just go to the hybrid section on tech they have alot of info about ls1 engines in other cars.

yea i being lurking in the hybrid section for a while ;) awsome info

Welcome! Are you going to use this car to drift with? Or mainly as a driver?

yes its my drift car. its being track and daily for a year now.
i had a daily for a few months, but i recently blew a hg in it so im back to driving the s14 as a daily till i pull the motor and replace the hg.

hmmm that might be awkward i mean an ls1 is a light motor dont get me wrong but then the tranny you have to get for it is gonna be a heavy one seems like it would be wierd drifting in that type of car with such a heavy motor/trans. i dont know much about driftin thats just what i see. nice 240 btw

Damn thats a sick looking s14 you got there

WELCOME!
wow those 240s look great what kind of rims are those on your s13? i plan on drifting my 240 in he future but damn i need a lot more practice :(

Welcome!

We have a conversions/hybrid section for all your questions concerning the swap.

Lots of people have done the 240/LS1 swap :)

Tony.

Nice I own a ls1 car now again but I sure do miss my old nissans..
Reminds me of my old 240sx.

mhm S14 *drool*

thanks for all the awsome comments ;)

and to answer the question, ls1 aluminum block with a t56 will weight about as much if not less than my sr or the ka i had before.

i got a spare s14 chassis that im going to be doing all the fab work on. this way i can still have a functional drift car haha

its my friends car. they are just sportmaxes. kinda heavy, very cheap tho.

the rb26 can ripppp tho. dynoed at 425 rwhp. first few runs blew a tire in pieces on a first corner. bent the fender to hell hehe. morale of the story, dont drift on toyo tr1s. they chunkkk
