2jz's in 240's is getting kinda common nowadays.
SR is the way to go.

[zambiewrx]

Sr20s are cheap, you can get them everywhere, they're reliable, huge aftermarket, and they bolt right into the s chassis...

So why would you want that pos? lol.

What I want to do is sr an e30. Its been done before. It'd be fun I think.

The amount of misinformation in this thread is mind boggling. You guys have to seriously start reading things that aren't posted by people who their information from someone's brother's friend's uncle. Find legitimate sources for your arguements and make a good case for your choice.

Wanna go fast in a S chassis... you have almost endless possibilities. The truth of the matter is that some cost a lot less than others and depending on what you want to do with the car some are better suited for the application than others.

If you want to know the truth just ask. There are people on here that have actually built a lot of what you all talk about "others" building. Vinny, Blake, James, Damon, and several others have PERSONAL experience building high hp versions of all of these.

so what is the hp and times ran by the fastest 4 cyl nissan built by some one here? Sr ka or whatever.

What is the point of this, or even this whole thread???? The fastest time and biggest hp almost never happen on the same car. And dynos / dragstrips are only tools of measurement that cannot in any way decide what car is "better" Example: some built bbc makes 850hp but gets outrun by a 400hp dsm. On paper the bbc would dominate but on the strip its maybe a diff story because of traction/weight. And I wouldnt even wanna see a 850hp bbc try to go around a road course

Just build whatever you want or can afford and have fun with it.

[2nrsOfSpringfield]

because its a thread about SR and KA nissans Ninja posted that hi HP versions of each of these have been built around here but we have never seen one, but would like too. So I asked hoping some examples would be posted.

I totally agree with this by the way "Just build whatever you want or can afford and have fun with it"

[portenio78]

Am I right now Ninja?

370s in a KA are good for 400 at the wheels..... trust me, done it on more than one occasion.

According to Ninja, it seems he has done a couple of 400hp builds. I too would like to see some of the local high horsepower SR/KA Nissans.

yeah, ninja's obviusly full of bullshit also.

[zambiewrx]

Its pretty simple to build a 400hp KA, and as easy to do it to an SR.

But honestly, all of the people I know with SRs are pushing closer to 300 then 400, and the only person I know of personally with a 400+hp s chassis is on a boosted KA. So basically pics or lol.

[Full Metal Jacket]

blake only gots bout' a little more power than stock dont he?

[Ninja]

Local Sr car goes to damon. Fastest times are a 12.6 and it make just over 3 at the tire.

Local KA as far as I can remember is still Jshade's car. That made 470 and ran an 11.40 before popping the headgasket from running lean.

Local boosted V8..... Blake holds it and I think that the pumpkin made a 6.02? someone correct me if I am wrong on it.

Local Rb is.... the kid from monett? from 2 or 3 years ago. It made 350 at the tire and the best he could manage was a 13.2 iirc.

Highest hp numbers in an S-chassis? Napoleon holds it right now, but he wont for very much longer.

[Full Metal Jacket]

what about your builds ninja?

[Ninja]

what about your builds ninja?

Which one? ka-t pickup? made 389 at the tire and was perfectly fine until he let a friend tell him that he should up his static fuel pressure. After washing out the rings it eventually ate a bearing that put a rod through the block.

Ka-t 240sx? It made....something.... to the tire. We never tried to dyno it. Just borrowed a wideband to tune it and let it go. By my guesses it only made 310-325 on the ground and is still running around somewhere in little rock.

KA-e-t? Still my most fun to date. There was a total of a thousand dollars in this car. 89 240sx. the injectors came out of a tractor. the turbo from a box truck and the fpr were the only not stock parts on the car. It made 407 to the tire slipping a stock clutch to the point that you could smell it instantly on each pull.

It has been fun, but the V8s are so cheap now that you are just a fool if you don't go that way.

[Full Metal Jacket]

okay.. with this Turbocharged ka-e , you made almost 400 horsepower with stock heagasket and head bolts and stock rod bolts? eh.. couldnt of lasted long. Ka's shouldnt be forced to reach that much power stock. I dont belive turbocharging non turbo cars with stock internals is good.

Seems to work out pretty well. "forced" induction is kind of the point.

[Full Metal Jacket]

okay? i can put "forced induction" on a metro and run the piss out of it. I bet nissan was thinking about how much boost a stock ka could hold just as much as geo was. What im trying to say is that they didnt design the motors for "forced induction", and in my mind with all the tuning and turbo fuel blah blah you throw at it, still not going to perform as if intended. They are only good when forged internals are added.

Ka's do have mostly forged internals stock

The KA motor is..... nevermind.

This isn't worth it.

Ka's are forged from the factory...... learn to read.

[Full Metal Jacket]

okay? maybe they are forged but i know the headbolts and headgasket arent anything out of the ordinary.. along with the bottom end hardware... maybe it will last a little while.. but no point in having forged internals or whatever when its just going to get thrown around when that rod bolt snaps

[destroying angel]

Huh, I didn't know that Jshade's car got up that high in HP or ran that fast! Last time I had heard he ran a 13.XX with about 300 hp but that was a long time ago. Too bad I don't have the chance to talk to him about it.
