why would you do this?

twofortysx · 03-01-2002, 10:11 PM

Why would you spend so much money for such small gains?  Either spend that same amount on an SR20 or use about $2g for cams, exhaust, header, intake, ECU and tuning.  

It only has 175hp...we start out with 155hp.

Tuck&Poke · 03-03-2002, 12:04 PM

so the altima engine has 175hp?!  no way.  if so then what the #### was going through nissan when they decided not to put it in the 240?

The new one doe's not the old one which is the 2.4 liter altima engine.

MyFirst240SX · 03-03-2002, 12:27 PM

Hey hey if u want to use that engine and want a have a bad ass 240.  Put one in the hatch and put one in the front.=) u would be a Bad bad man.=)

camppain · 03-03-2002, 12:38 PM

isnt it a 2.5 engine? correct me if im wrong but thats what i beleive i see under the hoods everyday at work

Nismos14 · 03-03-2002, 12:51 PM

yah its a 2.5 in the new altimas and the 6 is of course the now famous 3.5

MyFirst240SX · 03-03-2002, 12:57 PM

Ok i stand corrected two 3.5 Altima Engines will work better, im assuming bc u see them at work so often u can get me two for cheap?  Your such a nice guy....

camppain · 03-03-2002, 01:01 PM

sure if you consider a new engine for over 5 g's my price a discount? the infiniti g35 is a rwd 3.5 liter like the new z so that would be a more sensible but really really expensive swap. if someone had enough money for this i would suggest one of the skyline engines

MyFirst240SX · 03-03-2002, 01:07 PM

I always like the idea of a Twin ENgine car, must be to much Grand TUrismo 2. I think ill stick with my SR20 dreams for now.....

S13Grl · 03-03-2002, 07:16 PM

You know, why would you want an altima motor when you could have a civic motor? civic has that v-tec thing. And then you could put Type-R  and SiR stickers on the car with a reason.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be mean.

The Altima and the 240 motor have two different tranmissions. They're mounted differently. The old altima motor you're talking about is weaker than the KA motor you should have in your '91 and up 240.

welcome to the world of mosler.  twin engine caddy eldorado.  two northstar v8's.  pretty sick pointless but sick.  he might have a website im not sure

*LanceS13* · 03-03-2002, 10:59 PM

Come on guys...he asks a fairly legitimate question and y'all go on some wild twin-engine tangent.
Shouldn't  the long blocks be compatible?  What makes the Altima KA weaker?

S13Grl · 03-03-2002, 11:06 PM

Alright, so it might be able to line up. Is this an automatic?

matic 240sx · 03-03-2002, 11:13 PM

i saw in an old super street someone put a 300zx (RWD) motor in a 90 maxima(FWD).  so its possible..

S13Grl · 03-03-2002, 11:19 PM

I think the bell housing lines up on the VG30ET.
