would it be practial and has anyone seen this be done before?

a s20 skyline motor in a 240?

burnsauto · 09-16-2008, 09:50 PM

practical is keeping the ka in it and leaving it bone stock. Anything after that, practicality drops drastically.

Considering a well maintained S20 costs more than an entire 240, I'd say no.............

LA_phantom_240 · 09-16-2008, 09:52 PM

Well... if you could find one, it would be a neat project.

I'm not too familiar with the motor or its potential, but it seems a bit impractical.

I think an FJ20 or FJ24 would be neater, honestly.

If you get your hands on an s-20 (which I doubt you can) drop it in a 240z. It would be a complete waste in a 240.

^^ agreed!

If your gonna spend that kind of cash.. Just spend a lil more and get like a 72 skyline!

Addicted2Kouki · 09-16-2008, 10:06 PM

as awesome as the s20 engine is...
the logic in putting an engine from the 70s, into a car from the 90s, seems a bit off.

plus they are EXPENSIVE MOTORS.

If you arent putting it into something like a 240z or similar... then just stop right there.

atom · 09-16-2008, 10:06 PM

LOL what does a S20 go for nowadays? Last I checked they were easily in the 15-17k range, mint .

**mrmephistopheles** · 09-16-2008, 10:28 PM

Yeah, buying an S20 for a 240sx is like buying a Ferrari F355 engine for an Corvair.

Great engine for a neat car, but completely wrong.

They even had a chapter of a book written about them by none other than Ralph Nader!

he's putting an L series in his s13, an s20 in his s30, and then putting a KA into a skyline.

circle of life, it will be glorious

Antihero983 · 09-17-2008, 06:46 PM

^actually I was planning on putting a carb'd L28 into my S13

Pank · 09-17-2008, 06:48 PM

Antihero983 · 09-17-2008, 06:54 PM

murda-c · 09-17-2008, 06:57 PM

Didn't we go over this with you before about the lameness of that idea? If you insist on putting a 6 cylinder in a 240sx at least make a RB or VQ. Oh and stepping backwards in time on the engine in your car, will not win kudo's with the EPA, or your state.

Oh and yes by bringing it up again you left yourself open to be being ripped for a completely lame idea about as lame and the OP's Idea of putting a S20 in a 240sx . Shit S20's are rare as hens tenth and ancient as well. When are you kids going to stop huffing on the pipe and wake up to reality?
