Probably one of the most extreme mods I've ever seen done to a 240.

He ran a 13.6 quarter mile:

Must be creepy to have a 240 run at those speeds with only a low whisper to accompany it.

ALTRNTV · 02-09-2006, 02:35 AM

Wow... that's something I have NEVER seen before done to an s13.

240shorty · 02-09-2006, 02:46 AM

That's just dandy.... Now we're gonna have all kinds of SR vs. Electric swap threads!

What does that make? About 35 different swaps for the 240? I lost count.

haha i knew that was coming

ALTRNTV · 02-09-2006, 02:49 AM

I also lost count of the countless swap options.

That things looks crazy though. I wanna see a video of it running, and how it sounds like.

i8yourfwd · 02-09-2006, 02:52 AM

Jesus christ that's insane. Wow... that'd be insane.. a battery powered drift car :P Extreme tycho RC

axiomatik · 02-09-2006, 11:40 AM

even with the stock engine removed and the interior stripped, that car must weigh a ton with all those batteries

This info is kinda buried at the bottom of that one page:

650ft-lbs...AWESOME.

Cool stuff...!!!

!Zar! · 02-09-2006, 08:35 PM

Man thats crazy.

s14xman · 02-09-2006, 08:49 PM

thats the swap imma do next! haha, cool find!

IAM_SO_sLOw · 02-09-2006, 08:53 PM

i wonder how much does it cost to swap that.... and how long his batterys last lol..

axiomatik · 02-09-2006, 09:08 PM

those motors alone would be several thousand dollars a piece if new, salvage they might be affordable

rod0921 · 02-09-2006, 09:20 PM

i'm just flat out impressed

i love it

240sxworkinprogress · 02-09-2006, 09:59 PM

That's bad. 13.6 that's fast for a home made electric car. IMPRESSED

m072514 · 02-10-2006, 10:23 PM

holy shit. fuggin awesome!

Irukandji · 02-10-2006, 10:37 PM

wow...

thats interesting.. i wonder how the power band is.. hahaha

Flipzide · 02-10-2006, 10:38 PM

i wanna see a video!

looks awesome

anthony240 · 02-10-2006, 11:41 PM

i wanna see a dyno, never seen an electric motor dyno curve

ichisan · 02-10-2006, 11:57 PM

Cool swap, but I would like to have a tranny.

EchoOfSilence · 02-11-2006, 03:07 AM

that's... fucking crazy. He should make it remote controlled and show up those guys that drift rc cars. haha

andrewmp6 · 02-11-2006, 04:45 AM

thats odd but nicely done

shift_s14 · 02-11-2006, 08:51 AM

i want to see some pics of that, thats just sick lol

adrians_s13 · 02-11-2006, 12:57 PM

i guess this guy doesnt have to worry bout passing smog checks, unlike the sr's

upSLIDEdown · 02-11-2006, 01:28 PM

Not only 13.6, but 13.6 in a 3200 lb. car.... Damn.

**ThatGuy** · 02-11-2006, 01:37 PM

He should get a 1/2 mile long Extension cord. Could save alot of weight without the batteries.

blackflag_Rms13 · 02-11-2006, 03:09 PM

If he had some $$$ he could switch to Lithium-Ion batteries and save some weight.

240shorty · 02-11-2006, 05:28 PM

It's the rare JDM SR20 Copper Top!

At least there is a slight glimmer of hope. If we have to drive electric powered fuel cell sissy cars someday, I want a motor with that kind of power. Don't tell me it can't be done, we gots proof!

drifter808 · 02-11-2006, 06:48 PM

that thing is incredible. When all the oil runs out i want to get me one of those. Anyone know where that guy is located?

I believe he's in florida, his email address is at a lake worth shop, and he ran that quarter mile at moroso.

1mns13 · 02-11-2006, 07:18 PM

Electric cars with great acceleration will go a long way, I think. Just imagine if the EV1 or Insight were 7.0s 0-60.
