necrotosin Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have to work out a couple more of the specifics on the engine swap before I start posting about it, but as far as i can tell this will be a first into a 240z; it has been talked about but never put into action. I live in northern San Diego county in Fallbrook (10min south of Temecula) Dang you live not to far from me! sweet ride by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyoctopus Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Still expensive and I remember hearing it was a bit too large for our engine bay. Don't worry just have one last thing to figure out and then I'll commit to a photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadkill Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 il bite. 3-rotor? lol would certainly be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyoctopus Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 I have done the rotary thing. While it can be reliable, I want it to be honda reliable. And since I have finally figured out the last bit of my problems, well there is still one more to go but that is a trial and error, i'll post pictures and my reasoning before friday. Think KA24de price, SR20det power, and honda reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyoctopus Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Didn't get as many shots in as I would have liked, but here are a couple that work. This weekend we are either going to be taking action shots of our cars, or a shots with my car without an engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awoz87 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 damnit. I should have guessed, did josh have anything to do with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyoctopus Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 I was already throwing the idea around, but having josh there to answer all of my questions and have all of the parts i need to do convert the 8v to 16v really pushed it even farther. and when you think about it, why not? with the set-up that I am going to run (even with my baby turbo) I will be making at least 200 wheel HP. While that may not seem like alot, it is going to cost less than a KA24de engine, all of the parts can be found in the junkyard, and for the cost of an ecu chip you can easily achieve 300+hp.
