i have been hooked on 240sx for awhile now and havent had te chance 2 ask any questions about them.
ok, but why not, there are tons of places to ask?

Quote:
how hard would it be to tune a 240sx(s13 and s14) to run lets say uder 11 or 12 seconds?
which one, those are vastly different goals. 12s are easy, but 11s you need a cage, they don't do that because every car can run 11s you know. You will need a lot of power and experience to run 11s. I've seen people in 10 sec cars run 13s.

Quote:
about what are the horse power and torque levels that a car running under 12 sec?
from http://www.dsm.org/tools/calchp.htm 11.99 in a 3000lb car(you in a s14) is about 344rwhp. You will need a good launch no mattter what power you have and slicks will certainly help

how hrd is it to reach these levels?

will 240's even run that fast?
yes

can you do drop a s15 sr20det into an s14? can you do some crazy swaps like a rb26dett or rb25det into an s14?could u have a custome twin turbo manifold made so you could havean sr20dett?
of course you can do all that stuff, you can put a twin turbo V8 in if you wanted. Why do you guys ask these "can this be done" questions they are absurd. Everything can be done, just watch hig-rev tuners sometime, they prove that all the stupid stuff you want to do to a car is possible. If you want to put a chrome KA valve cover on a SR, it can be done, not recommended, but doable.

BTW, I'm pretty nice the next guy that will post will rip you a new one. There is a lot of info here, but since you have only been here for 5min you wouldn't know that. We don't like doing research for you anymore then you like doing our geography homework.

Please stop using AIM lingo too, it gets really annoying, its a forum, you can type correctly.
