nobody said you'd be shifting at 1500 rpms. i'm just curious to see what your power level is in that range. hell, i'd be willing to bet you're well into your upper rpms before you're making close to your peak power.
why is it that a fox body stang needs 600 hp to get in the 10s when it takes supras way more than that? USEable torque and PEAK torque are NOT the same thing. |

Just for the record, I found that pic first Makato. So poop on you.
If I were you, I would just swap in an RB. Although its not mainstream, people make mounting kits for it, and the aftermarket support is slowing increasing. An RB20DET can be had for cheap, and a turbo inline 6 is sweetness. I like there valve train too.

Whoever said something about the powertec, sounds like a good idea!! Give me 20 thousand dollars and I will put it in my car k? Also if you keep a tab on that engine before scc started throwing it around you would know they have gained more hp through exhaust tuning and that regular tuning. They will also be offering it in the 3.0 version which will have more torque, and less high end performance. So more of a street engine. For a while I was looking into building a rb30 but it doesnt seem that I would be satisfied for what it cost. If you guys dont quit the dumb bickering I will beat you with a stick

Here is the argument Makoto really needs. If he drops a Ford 302 V8 into his S13, how much tuning and work will it take to reach ~300hp/300ft lbs. in relation to ANY Nissan engine available. The 302 must remain N/A, however the Nissan engine may be F/I. Keep it civil, and stick to the facts. Remeber we are talking tuning here. I know there are plenty of Nissan engines that can push 300 ponies, now just make a good argument around it.

I understand that a 302 can have forced induction, however Makoto is looking at N/A to try and save himself on tuning headaches. That's why I ask for the facts I did. Thanks for the info though.

302 w/ good intake manifold, intake pipe, throttle body, heads, cam, exhaust, headers should net you around where you want to be makoto. I don't have much mustang experience but I do have some.

Yeah, I say 13b as well, those things have an assload of low end torque. Think ls1, full exhaust, cam shaft with computer tuning. Right there you have 450bhp or so. 302 has an iron block, atleast I think it does, so that is out of the question in my eyes.

This is one of those things you SHOULD be able to figure out on your own.... Think for a minute then respond again p.s. 13b's are extremly reliably in n/a form. They can be reliable with forced induction IF they are tuned right. Not many people do tune them right though so BOOM |

LS1 + SLP engineering supercharger = 450 rwhp off the bat = teh win
I've seen some LS1 swaps done before. There was a store that advertised in automotiveforums that sold chevy 350 swaps for a 240sx. It sounds pretty badass to me.

302 sounds like a good swap but it will end up costing the same as an LS1 when you try to get the same power out of it. The big plus for a 302 is that replacements parts are cheap and plentiful and the transmission fits better than the t-56. Also it's OBDI so less hassle with smog if you have it...but on the other hand the LS1 might be easier to legalize for CA because it's on the Low Emission Vehicle list..so it's considered to be a super clean burning engine. but 302's always sound better.
![]() i still want an LS1

mmm LS1 in a 240sx fastback with no spoiler. Like a lighter corvette with two more seats.
Lots of power, broad powerband, huge aftermarket here in the USA, no taking it up the butt from importing costs for every little thing that you may need for an engine that wasnt sold in the USA. Great sound(really suprise people with that throaty rumble from a humble little nissan.. ![]() I remember seeing a guy who had a destroked Lt1 that made something like 600~hp at around 7000+rpm's naturaly aspired. A setup somewhat simalar to that with an Ls1 sure would be nice.. |

i realize this thread is about putting a 302 in a 240; however, i must throw in my two cents.... have you considered finding a cheap 4 Cyl mustang notch back and dropping a 5.0 in it? gut out the body for weight issues, you get MEGA torque, and you still pay for 4cly insurance, best of all... the motor drops right in, thus saving you a lot of cash. rear end swaps should be fairly simple as well, you could put in 3.55 or 3.73’s ... or if you want the easiest route, but a 5.0 and gut it. trick out the motor, and enjoy.

http://www.popularhotrodding.com/eng...e/0409em_gmpp/ To get your HP level with a Ford you will likely need GT40 heads, headers, cams, maybe some springs. 300hp is not hard. You can buy a crate engine that has 345hp easy. http://www.factoryfive.com/table/engines/ford302.html |

Where are you getting your info because it seems kinda out there. DOHC motors also have close to the same weight, it is their dimensions that are the trouble. Northstar is about the worst engine as well. Good technology but bad turnout. They leak constantly and always |
