http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-Ni...QQcmdZViewItem

My comment is someone put alot of money into this fab job....

theicecreamdan · 11-05-2005, 09:57 PM

dont they break transmissions easily?

sblack13 · 11-05-2005, 10:12 PM

why just why???

*revat619* · 11-05-2005, 10:15 PM

that motor makes no torque. Pointless swap imo.

FRpilot · 11-05-2005, 10:16 PM

that should go into a corolla..

viscid240 · 11-05-2005, 10:25 PM

Well at least there is a whole lat of room.......

Still not my cup of corona

IES13 · 11-05-2005, 10:30 PM

The engine bay looks so empty...I bet it really pulls like crap!

jkim87 · 11-05-2005, 10:34 PM

dont hate... i think its a pretty kewl swap... props.. well done...

blackflag_Rms13 · 11-05-2005, 11:40 PM

Can't they at least clean the engine bay? Sheeesh...

Definately belongs in an AE86 or an S2000, but definately not an S13. That motor is like the antithesis of a Ka. Props for originality and a clean job though...

drift freaq · 11-05-2005, 11:50 PM

wow I am going to drop an expensive torqueless wonder in my car! hahahhahahha NOT!!! Its a dumb swap! Nissan has plenty of powerful engines that could go in there with less work. A for originality F for lack of common sense hahahhahahhahhahah

240SeXy! · 11-06-2005, 12:01 AM

Wow that was dumb waste of money.... wow that really should go into a ae86 instead..

240SeXy! · 11-06-2005, 12:04 AM

Hahaha sorry just thought of it.... DAMN i cant wait till my Vtec Pops, then there will be mad driftage accouring!

SoSideways · 11-06-2005, 01:02 AM

Man, for those of you that are dogging VTEC, have you ever been in/driven Hondas that have VTEC?

I'm not talking about those POS Civics with their 1 cam wonder D16 VTEC BS either, I'm talking about a K20C RSX-S and the S2000. I personally drove a RSX-S and had it into the VTEC zone, and let me tell you, it's badass. Same with S2000, car pulls like crazy.

You guys have to remember, from factory, the S2000 weighs like 2800 to 2900 pounds. They're not light, and if the F20C can pull that car hard from pretty much all gears (provided you're not being a dumbass and try to go from like 2000 rpm), then I think it would be sick in a 240.

Much props to the guy who did the swap. Too bad he's not keeping it, car must be fun!

wootwoot · 11-06-2005, 01:11 AM

You can pick up usdm f20c clips for the same price as a clean s14 sr20det clip. I think the swap is frickin great. I honestly considered doing it myself, whats bad about the engine? One thing that bugs me, he could have atleast CLEANED the engine bay. Look how close that frickin engine is to the firewall!!! The engine should weigh less than an sr20 as well since it is open deck. I'm curious how well it works in there though, buying engine swapped cars=bad

m0rex · 11-06-2005, 01:15 AM

I algo agree . THe egine is not that bad. It has a bad ass red line. Its probably fun to drive. Then when the vtec spools up its torque time. LMAO> God im never drikin again.

IES13 · 11-06-2005, 01:17 AM

Hey hey hey...can't really hate the Honda(s). Some of the greatest tuner cars that started it all. But a Honda in a Nissan....wtf...I have a 94 Accord with a H22a swap as my daily drivers and I love it, great for the streets but sucks trying to drift with it.... :P

actually, hondas didn't start it at all.

420sx · 11-06-2005, 01:41 AM

^ for alot of ricers they did.

FRpilot · 11-06-2005, 01:43 AM

thats why i said it would be nice in corolla or 510.. really light weight cars with good power like s2000 motor wil make them fly!

SoSideways · 11-06-2005, 01:43 AM

Come on guys, it's common sense that when you're talking about NA motors, Honda motors are on top, hands down.

Have you guys seen the flow numbers for the F20C or the K20C? They're ridiculous.

NateKim · 11-06-2005, 01:44 AM

Hondas suck. You know why? One curb totally owned my Civic. $3500 repair hitting a curb at ~20 MPH. I love my logic.

StudentDrifter · 11-06-2005, 01:44 AM

looks out of place

m0rex · 11-06-2005, 02:54 AM

Understeer can still own you. Just slam on the brakes trying to turn at 40 mph.

a $3500 damage bill on a s13 will total that too.

91CRXsiR · 11-06-2005, 05:08 AM

cool idea, would have gone w/ a B20 VTEC swap as its more torqy and good for turbo and cheappppp USDM TYTE

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-06-2005, 05:19 AM

B20 on a 240??? Shiet...we gonna convert it to fwd too??? As for this car, yes its weird but different. I dont think its a bad swap, not everybody drift their 240. Ive ridden on my boys S2K and that engine is silky smooth. Everything in that car was built with grip in mind and top end in mind.

drift freaq · 11-06-2005, 10:49 AM

Regardless of what any of you say, about the S2000 engine having torque, fact is its torque figures are lower than the average 2 liter pumped to the same amount of HP.
I am not saying its bad its a very dope engine. Its just way out of place in a 240sx. Plus why go to all the effort and extra work wiring and such, it would take to make it work when, like I said before Nissan has plenty of engines that would work fine and give you equal HP results with more torque?
In a 510 or a corolla like FRpilot said would be a great idea. In our cars? Go back to driving your Honda!! Want a S2000 engine that bad buy a S2000 . Great cars! Plus for whoever thinks Honda started it add you need to attack the Import sports car history books. Truthful honesty the 2 cars that started it were none other than the Datsun 510 and 240z . Nissan products!! Honda engines belong in Honda's!
