Okay so i managed to get the price of the 91 240sx down to $600. Now I need to rebuild the engine. Will someone please list all the parts im goin to need and where and for how much if you know.
depends on what you want to achieve....
new rings+ gaskets for starters
but you might as well get some new rods and pistons, the crank should be fine...
as for where to get 'em not sure right now found somwhere with a whole rebuild kit think it was around 800$

RB will need the Unstable Hybrids swap kit, wholly custom piping, and a custom drive shaft though. I think you make up the money at the end if you do your own work, but I'm not sure about that. You could do what one guy i know did: Buy a new ka24 motor & tranny for cheap (I think like 700) and do a custom turbo kit. It ended up being around 3k + labor (non-intercooled 4-5 psi) and runs Sr20 powered 240sx's. He G'teched it at 230 hp 242 tq to the wheels. His name is DarkRaptor42 on Zilvia.

NO WAY.....RB20 does not need all that ...only rb26dett. Im almost sure that the Rb20 doesnt need anything diff. BUT u can buy special motor mounts to fit the motor like inch or half inch deeper. But from what ive read the rb20 fits right in.

Unstable said you "need" their custom intake manifold to make the swap "look" prettier. It is NOT required. Nor is their kit and whatever comes in it. I did abosultely ZERO custom work besides cutting holes for the SMIC which only took an hour or two of cutting, fitting and recutting as needed. By the time that guy bought a cheap KA and slapped on a turbo kit, I probably spent less time and have a built for turbo spec RB20 sitting in my 240. Is it easier, I think to do a swap in the end...well maybe but my power goals arent high and I will be having a full tear down of this engine after I get all my bills paid (by Jan 04). So I will have even more reliable boost. And the RB20 (which was mewntioned) DOES NOT require a custom driveshaft. Only the RB25 and RB26. I used my KA driveshaft
oh and you have to cut the hood skeleton. Or get a CF Hood Also Vewnus sells just long blovks too. My friend got a long block for 650 SHIPPED. I may just to that. Drive this sucker until it pops all the while getting that engien rebuilt
*SR and RB r both suppost to be turboed (1 point for each)
*SR are not that rare and easier to get parts for(2 points SR 1 point rb)
*If i get RB i'll probably have to get any other parts from Austrailia or Japan(2 points SR 0 points RB)
