Right now here is what Im looking at. I picked up a 1993 240sx auto with light front end damage and a blown ka for cheap. I plan on doing a rb25det motor swap and s13 jdm front end conversion. So far this is what I assume...
The rb25det motor out of the r32 will bolt into the 240 using all cross members from the skyline. the transmission crossmember has some issues fitting. I have no idea what the wiring is going to be like or how hard it will be. I havent looked under this car or even started on doing much except for body work on the front end getting it fixed. I just need to weld on the rest of the radiator support now. It has no radiator by the way. A/c is coming out, the sound proof shit in the floor is coming out. No carpet will be put back in. Im putting in a roll cage and tow hooks to get it up to d1gp specs. I plan to get a Front mount for it. A walbro 255lph fuel pump will be installed at the time of the swap. I understand they come in a low pressure and high pressure pump.
Also I understand I can use the stock crossmembers if I get a mckinnney mount kit. Using the mckinney mounts will fix the following problems: Shifter being 1.5" forward, sway bar hitting oil pan, hood clearance. I also hear that a place called top hat performance makes mounts for cheaper but I havent heard any feed back from anyone who has used them. I have swapped a few motors before: 1986 chevy s10/ 350motor, b16/crx, h22a/civic, h22a/accord(my daily driver), h22a/h23a prelude, pos buick century motor 2.8/pontiac 6000, soon to be 1985 corolla gts/4agze (assisting on that swap in a shop I work for). Im not new to swapping motors but I am new to nissans. I will also need a custom drive shaft made at the local machine shop. If I am wrong on any of this please correct me. I also learned not to deal with night7 because he apparently is dishonest. Mckinney seems to be really proud of thier products but if they are good they have a right to be. I dont want to bet around the bush with this swap so please help me out with it. I want to have the car on the road by winter if I can. Im trying to keep the cost down below 5k if at all possible for motor work only. If I have to pay more for it to not be ghetto rigged then I will. I want it done right but I want to do it myself so I am farmiliar with the car more plus I have been fucked over too many times by other people. :12dunno
