Lost in a world of swaps... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok so I thought I had my mind made up when I decided to go ka-t with my newly acquired 97' virgin s14 with 115k on the clock.

After posting on how can I mate a six speed to the ka24de, and then calling leathal injection to fab up some stuff for me. Im now lost in a world of different swaps.

I spoke to derek for a while about how to mate a z33 trans to the ka, and then about building a ka-t for 400~450whp. He told me that it would not be a problem. Then he started talking about other swaps that he had done. Mainly about the ls2 the swaped into the s14. You know the one everyone on youtube has seen.

Well seeing as how my goal is 400~450whp and the ls2 they swapped in has over 400whp in almost stock form and is lighter than a ka.... it seems like a pretty good swap and is already a 6 speed.

The only real thing keeping me from making up my mind about doing the swap is loosing the feel of the s-chassis. Ive never driven a 240sx with a v8 in it and do not know if it still feels like a 240sx. I had 320whp in my first fastback and I own an 01 z28 wish makes 315 na. I do not know how 400+ na whp feels.

Ive always wanted to have a car that Best Motoring would praise for driveability on their touge(yes I realize that will never happen). So if anyone has any thoughts on this please help me make my mind up.

If I do go ls2 I will be upgrading the heads(cams, gears, double wound springs, retainers, oversized valves, port and polish, ect...) and keeping the possibility for forced induction open.
