What do you think would be the best engine to use, if i was to go N/A??

**ThatGuy** · 05-06-2005, 12:08 AM

The same N/A engine that's been discussed on these boards before when someone asked this question.

drftwerks · 05-06-2005, 12:15 AM

new c6 corvette engine pretty light really reliable.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 05-06-2005, 12:23 AM

NA....4, 6, 8, 10,12, 16 cylinder???? Which one???

theicecreamdan · 05-06-2005, 12:44 AM

My truck has a 460 and it makes shit loads of power and its stock,

Irukandji · 05-06-2005, 12:45 AM

stupid thread....

nrg · 05-06-2005, 12:53 AM

Ignorant thread creator.

DriftSpecial180 · 05-06-2005, 01:19 AM

woah, my bad. Didn't mean to be "ignorant". I searched around, found something close, but turns out the guy quit with the NA and put a turbo on the SR20DE...

. I guess i could have been more specific, just figured the all-knowing Zilvia guys could use their knowledgable heads to understand my question. No Disrespect or anything.

I guess it can be rephrased like this. If i keep the KA, does the single or dual cam have more potential? Does the SR20DE have more potential to put out more than the KA's? Is there a RWD SR20VE?

Doesn't matter. You can't win. If you find an old thread and post another question on it, you'll get flamed for resurrecting and old thread. Just lay down and let people piss on you for a little bit. It makes the insecure feel better about themselves. Pretty soon they'll get distracted by some other superfluous bullshit and forget about you anyway.

Think about it. Some people LOVE "ignorant noob post". If it was really that much of a bother they'd just ignore them.

That was incredibly profound

thread starter: what do you have against forced induction? Not attacking, just curious.

Haha, yeah i guess your right. And i guess you have to have over 500 posts to be part of the badass crew, i'm not even a tenth of the way there. So much for the helping community, atleast Zilvia has cool smilies

As for me against turbo, i have nothing against it. I'm getting a CA before i start on anything to do with a N/A motor. I wanted to know what the best platform would be in the NISSAN engines.(Between the SR's and KA's) And look my Shit*y thread is already 2 pages

(another cool smilie)

ZK · 05-06-2005, 10:43 AM

This is rather a stupid question.. its like asking what color you like most?
Everyone is going to give you a different answer. Ask something more specific.

Ricks15 · 05-07-2005, 01:51 PM

Hands down the KA24E is the best. For me its ok because im still learning the physics fo my car. But other choices the 350 small block is the best in america it is a awsome and reliable-powerfull motor and if you break the Sheeeet out of it parts are so very dirt cheap.

BlackZenkiS14 · 05-07-2005, 08:32 PM

My vote goes with the 20V 4age. Even the NA 3Sge in the altezza is a great motor. But the Honda K20 is a great motor also, to bad it never came RWD!

240coupe · 05-08-2005, 01:02 AM

IMO i say go with the F22C (02-up s2000 motor) or C32A (NSX motor). And B16a's suck a$$. Since you'll are talkin about honda motors i thought id add something as well. Get a ls/vtec or b20/vtec for cheap, reliable power.

SR16VE N1
done.

its okay plenty of club240 members sound that way. hahahahahaha

best NA engine FOR ME would be a destroked KA.

is it me or is that guys sig big

TheSnail · 05-06-2005, 01:32 AM

4 rotor, Simple answer, Dont be retarded

kandyflip445 · 05-06-2005, 01:34 AM

I've never seen a destroked KA and I don't feel like searching. lol
Could you give me a link?

TheSnail · 05-06-2005, 01:37 AM

I think they made a ka20e, so Im sure that has something to do with the 24's destrokeing.

xtreme_s14 · 05-06-2005, 01:40 AM

do what no man has done before.. (at least i don't think they have) *drum roll* 350Z or G35 motor in a 240sx! yah, sorry i don't know the engine name.. yet! and i'm too lazy to look it up!

**ThatGuy** · 05-06-2005, 01:54 AM

^VQ35 lazy ass.

And "DriftSpecial180" (God, what a n00b name), read the forum Rules and Guidelines, then fix that montrosity of a signature. Then after you do that, search some more. The all-knowing populous of Zilvia gets tired of answering the same damn questions all the time from n00bs: "How do I put a Silvia face on my car?, What's the best engine?. Will {insert part name here} make me a better drifter?, etc., etc., etc." It get's a bit tiresom.

Revolver Ocelot · 05-06-2005, 02:03 AM

Drop in an RB30 and be done with it.

I highly doubt that an N/A discussion is brought up that much. If it were, you guys should probably make an NA FAQ like the TURBO FAQ. Damn, i thought i had a cool name.

(i think this is my favorite smilie)

kandyflip445 · 05-06-2005, 02:02 AM

TIRE-some. LOL. Kinda like all the tire threads that popped up lately. I like the change of pace though and the more knowledge the better.

pruto · 05-06-2005, 02:39 AM

B18C5 baby!!! haha =)

i'd like to see someone put vtec in a 240sx, just for the hell of it.

DRFT · 05-06-2005, 02:41 AM

16v 4ag

Screw Vtech....get some wild sr20ve in there...all top end power!

infinitexsound · 05-06-2005, 03:06 AM

s2000 hands down............even a frakenstein ka cant compare to a s2k engine straight from the dealership

NervGS · 05-06-2005, 03:30 AM

I own both a redtop 4AG and S2000, and both are amazing in their own ways. The Toyota for being so goddamn fucking reliable with who knows how many miles are on it (it was swapped into my FX16), withstanding day after day of constant abuse and 100-200 mile drives 5 days a week. Honda just makes amazing NA engines period (B16B is amazing just for the power output), and probably some of the best.
