Well, if you hate American cars get rid of the Vega. Duh! If you are really dead-set on keeping that ride you could probably swap any I4 or V8 that Nissan has produced into it. I've heard of a lot of guys swapping in SBCs into Vegas and a few BBCs. If I were you I'd post up some pics of the engine bay and let us look things over.

Hey im new here and im interesting in knowing if swapping an 2jzgte motor in an 95 or 98 s14 or even an s15 silvia, would be an ideal swap or an rb26 would be better, and which of both would be the cheapest with good results also????

Ok well here it is i am 16 living in auburn washington. Got 2 more years of high school plan on buying some sort of 240sx hatchback by the end of summer. should have bout 3,000 ruf est. Want to know ware the best plase would be to get it at? I have no place to work on it really. Wanna do most the work myself as much as i can. If i have to i will take it to a shop but that is last thing if i can not go anywere els i will take it there. I plan on saving for a RB20DET or a SR20DET not sure what one yet. Anyone know what engine would be beter over all? Not just speed but also getting part for it stuff like that to. But iv ben looking around on every thing there is trying to find out what i wanna do. For now tell i get the money keep the stock engine in. But i wanna put a few things on just to get the hp up a lil for small racing stuff like that so what stuff should i do to it?

For sure im going to do to the car is:

1. Flush every oil out and put new oil in.
2. Take out the back set .
3. Role cage.
4. Racing tires/brakes.
5. Racing sets.
6. Someone said something about the trunk? if ther is i might like to do it too.
7. Timing in the engine how ever you do that.(NOT SUR HOW)
8. Body kit that is real and not one that will mess the car up. im not a fag punk kid just to let you konw.
9. Was thinking about some kind of dash too light waight.


ya i know this will take alot of time and $ but i got nuthing but time dont do anything in any of my classes but auto shop that is it lol. and as for the money like i said end of summer i should have bout 3,000 for a summer job then i wanna find one for when school is going to work after school too. but please any help with all of this will be grate. i am 100% into geting this car and doing everything to it. thanks,
Logan

Supra swap???

do u think it would be possible to fit a toyota supra engine inside a 240? I know it seems ridiculous but a heard of it being done a 95 so i was wondering if it would work in a 91. Any info/ suggestion would be awesome.
