i don't know why people get hard ons over the sr20...........if they do the swap they'll still be at around 200 hp(unless you get the 250 hp s15 motor) .....which is useless unless you do fuel and turbo at the same time........

 

exactly my point. sr20 can suck my ***.

 

i honestly think it is a fad that ricers love to follow.....just like the HONDA drag fad with the B20 swaps and ****.........thank God that the drifting fad is getting hyped up......now I can prolly find a nice 88-90 beater HONDA CRX and not worry about it costing 3K.

 

TURBOSE: i think you chose the wrong feedback.......lol......i got a negative saying werd.......lol......

 

because

-its cost effective
-its a simple swap (you change like one heater hose on the back)
-there is plenty of aftermarket support
-there is some domestic oem part availability (you can cannabalize off some nissan cars)
-it is (usually) a lower mileage motor (note most ka's are at the 130k mark or higher)
-it is a smoother motor
-it is a higher revving motor
-it is a stock turbocharged motor (no idleing issues or tuning problems)
-an experienced owner can get the swap done in a single day

nobody in the 240sx community thinks the swap is impressive. its just an easy swap with good gains, fairly cheap and (to most) makes the car alot more fun to drive.

why is the240sx so popular? well for someone who wants to drive a rear wheel drive car that isn't a miata, there simply aren't too many options under $5k. we are not all drifters. in fact, serious drifters on the 240 forums are few and far between.

rb26 swap has been done; there are a decent number of them now. and doing one swap over another just for the sake of being different is kind of lame.

 

^^^ oh........................that makes sense.

What about turboing the KA or Supercharging it?

 

There are people have turboed the KA24...The KA is a torquier motor, but is not as strong as the SR internalwise.

 

Nice attitude. You sure give the s2k owners a good name. You seem to only post on this forum when someone has a story about beating an s2k. Are you that bored? Maybe you should stick to Hondatech where all the civic and integra owners can stroke your ego all day long.



Remember rotards... don't generalize a car's community by one character on the forum.

 

I have a place in my heart for anything light and RWD, especially if it has an open top.

But, I'm at a loss as to how/why anyone with a Rotary powered car could point and laugh at any other car's lack of torque.

S2k= High rev'ing, low(er) torque, low displacement motor...
13b=High rev'ing, low(er) torque, low displacement motor...

Both need FI to be anything threatening.

Bah.

 

^who said anything about a car's lack of torque?..............and the S2K, rx7 and 240SX are ALL FI....... did you post in the wrong thread?

 

S2k's are forced induction? That must be one small-*** supercharger because I can't even see it.

 

lol......................ok.....but remember FI= FUEL injected.

 

I read it 2-3x here. Maybe I was juggling two threads and got confused, but I could of swore someone joked around about Honda's lacking torque, when Rotaries are one in the same.

S2k and FC Rx7's and 240SX's all lack FI (Unless its a TII)...FI being Forced Induction.

Yes, it usually means Fuel Injection, but since that's a norm and totally outside this issue I figured everyone would assume I was talking about Forced Induction (I.E. Supercharger/Turbocharger)

 

FI means Forced Induction.

EFI is the term used for Fuel Injection.

 

hmmmmmmmmm........i stand corrected ....*takes a bow and leaves*

 

nobody i know has supercharged it. there are plenty of ka-t people though. they have their own forums and community. the ka makes good gains on low boost... i think 5psi or so will get it around the 200+hp mark.

to make higher power, things get complicated. i think the practical limit is around 250hp to the wheels before things on the inside start getting hurt. there are 500-600hp ka's out there. i don't think anyone has broken the 700hp mark yet.

but to make 200+ hp, you're going to need to piece together your own kit and tune it (tuning issues...). if you're good, this is probably the cheapest way to make more power. or you can buy a premade kit that is already tuned. there are a few turbo kits, but i think greddy is the only one who makes a pretuned kit for the ka. it costs like $3000+ with an intercooler. for that price, you could easily get a sr20.

 

never got on hondatech and no not bored i just loved the s2k and not to fond of tIIs thats all and hate all the bashing,i dont care about civics or integras, besides i havea fd now and dont have the s2k anymore, sorry not a ***** and let all these guys bring me down for owning a nice car dude, you yourself are a waste of space and dont need to own an s2k you probably one of those guys who cant drive and get beat by rsxs i think the s2k in the right hands is an excellent well handling car that is quick if you know how to drive it it is definatly a drivers car, but anyhow just expressing my experiences and encounters i didnt know i was giving a bad name (sarcastic) oops
drew

 

Typical. Maturity is expressed in so many ways.

 

ladies, ladies.....retract the nails.

 

lol

 

RB26s are nuts. A guy with an older 240 and a guy with a 96 240 both have rb26s in them. They both run like 20 psi and i have seen both of them hit 10.6s. They are nuts

 

seriously not one s2k has beaten me. Even with a rinky dink test pipe and a K+N I seriously left two of them at the same time once and dont even get me started about the *** whoopings that have commenced with the simple **** I have done to my FC. S2Ks are weak sauce.

 

^pretty much.......

 

I like the S2000's. I have respect for any small rwd car. The other day a guy in a s2000 raced me in my 87 TII. We took off from around 4.5k rpm in 2nd. As soon as I hit 3rd i left him. I got open exhaust and rtek 1.7. Looks like he had some mufflers on his. Still he help up pretty good. I don't think I deserve a pat on a back. I believe he lost because he had a hot female passanger adding on about extra 120lbs to his curb weight , so u see it's all about power/weight ratio

 

i drove an S2k once at a dealer pretty quick car, but its not near as fast as my T2, but then again im pretty modded
