240sx with f20?

Wattoo · 02-05-2009, 09:02 AM

im thinking about swapping my motor into a 240sx instead of getting the car fixed or parted out... the motor didnt get damaged in the wreck...
any thoughts?
i know its possible and it should be fairly cheap since i already have an engine and tranny and ecu. jsut need to get the 240sx shell...

nismored · 02-05-2009, 09:08 AM

you won't.

That could potentially be badass! I love hybrid swaps.

If you are good at fabricating it would be nice. Integrate the digital dash, make new mounts for motor and tranny. It would be some work but would def. be a cool project. Are you trying to do something for high amounts of power?

Wattoo · 02-05-2009, 09:16 AM

nah...im not really going for power right now... i wrecked mine on monday and ive been tossing around ideas with what to do with whats left of my car...
i found a 89 240sx rolling shell for 650 and im kinda tempted...

nismored · 02-05-2009, 09:25 AM

low ball him and pick it up. Shave the bay and paint it. I think it would be clean. There will be some haters but it would be neat. I hope you have some extra cash.

MutantCheese · 02-05-2009, 09:29 AM

Sounds like a heck of a lot of work tho.

Wattoo · 02-05-2009, 09:31 AM

yeah im a little curious as to how much itll all cost...ill prolly part out whatever is left of the car to fund the swap. plus i know people. so that will help but im stilll curious about hte details. i registered on the 240sx forum (240sxforums.com) and ive pretty much been flamed for doin the swap but whatever.

Wattoo · 02-05-2009, 09:32 AM

ive heard that its not too hard compared to other swaps. but i dont really know much about 240s ...

gomarlins3 · 02-05-2009, 10:04 AM

It can be done and you would have something different that's for sure.

lonestarbuzz · 02-05-2009, 10:58 AM

swap it into a lotus elise body

s2000isu · 02-05-2009, 11:41 AM

Seems like alot of work for nothing. Id atleast swap it into a spitfire or something.

MutantCheese · 02-05-2009, 11:43 AM

yeah, find yourself a body worthy of such a fine engine....like maybe an S2000.

lonestarbuzz · 02-05-2009, 12:38 PM

i've always wondered what it would be like to have an MGB with the s2000 engine.

lonestarbuzz · 02-05-2009, 12:39 PM

find an old s600 and put the engine in that.

s2000isu · 02-05-2009, 01:35 PM

lonestar that is my dream. If i became rich that would be one of my fun projects. I think the s800 would be awesome with a worked s2000 motor

flawless post. that made me lol.

nismored · 02-05-2009, 02:42 PM

if someone can swap a k20 into a mustang, you can swap an f20 into a 240.

J'sS2K · 02-05-2009, 02:57 PM

They did that in Tokyo Drift...

that would be sick. maybe i'll start a hunt for a barn find s800 somewhere.

sittin-sidwayz · 02-06-2009, 09:01 AM

it would be a pretty sick project man!!! I'd love too see the final results if you do indeed go ahead with this!!

240sx · 07-04-2009, 01:24 PM

This swap has been done before. I've seen it most prominently in AE86 Corollas. It would definitely earn respect though.

desmo4 · 07-04-2009, 05:33 PM

If you put an F20 into an antique car you will have a a 9000 rpm piece of at work in an old out of date suspension. I won't be 10% of an S2000. The only suggestion I was that made sense was to put it in a Lotus chassis.

philiam · 07-04-2009, 11:27 PM

How'd you wreck it?

s2000isu · 07-05-2009, 07:19 AM

Ya youre right it wont be 10% of the s2000 it would be much cooler than the s2000. Maybe if I got mugen to make some parts for the swap would it then be awesome?

xerox · 07-05-2009, 10:41 AM

I think that a fiberglass Ford T-bucket with the F20 and 4 sidedrafts would be sweet...

Not Sure · 07-09-2009, 04:44 PM

Swap it into a cheap beater Miata and blow everyone away with your sleeper.

Or an Elise if you can figure out how to turn the engine sideways.

No engine mods needed in a 2000lb car.

I agree.

RwdVtec04 · 11-16-2009, 08:20 AM

Actually in Tokyo Drift, they put a RB26DETT (skyline motor) into the mustang.

I'm not sure, but I think the Jan 2009 issue of super street they did a F20C Swap in a 93 convertible 240sx. Its nice looking. Body of a nissan, Soul of a Honda. That is what they put.

I think it would be sweet to do. All my friends say to put my s2k engine in my civic, which would be hell to do, cuz its FWD but it would be sweet.. lol..

Good luck with whatever you decide.
