I would like to acheive about 400hp and i beleive 2 more cylinders and a lil boost will do the trick...now.. i know the skyline motor can stuff into one of these.. i have a chance to get an 89 supra turbo for $325, but the supra forum told me you cant drift mkIII supras worth a shit.. and they told me to stick with a 240.. I would much rather have an i6 then a 4 banger... should i do this?? or just stick with a high boost four? what about the i6s from an 86 300zx.. are they any good? would putting a bigger engine in make drifting more difficult??? any input would be appreciated.

thanks
Dustin

Hrrmmm.. first off i dont think it would be possible to fit a supra motor into a 240 with out lotz of time money and effort.... second off i dont think u should discrace nissan by putting a mototr that doesnt belong.... lol... and yes if u put a bigger engine, the weight balance will be thrown off making it more difficult to drift... and if u really want more power go for an RB20 swap.. less than 2000 bux shipped... another thing u might consider... i have heard that the 240sx is one of the best cars to drift... but sux when it comes to the road track... i know i used to be all into drifitng at first but then i noticed.. its not like imma drift every corner going to the grocery store and back... so then i decided to see how good i could take turns .,. and let me tell u.. my friends RX-7 turbo kicked the shit out of me in turns..lol.. the sad thing is that he is still breaking in his motor so he wasnt boosting anything..lol... if u want an all out drift car or jus an everyday driver.. or a good quarter mile car with the right mods.. go with 240.. but if u know one day u would change ur mind... and want good handling.... either mod the suspension on ur 240 like crazy.. or jus get another car..lol... but i still like my 240 so its all good... yea well i seemed to have drifted off sumwhere else.. my bad.. good luck with your car... peace..

lol.. i wouldnt care if it would be a discrace or not...im just all about power... rb20 huh... is that the jap. motor they put in them over there? how much power can i get out of those with under 20lbs of boost? i really wanted to go without the 4banger sound but oh well.. whatever makes me drift better... i dont think i would ever get sick of drifting... i drift my 95 blazer all the time in the rain and snow!! hella fun!! i also have a 71 camaro i can drift a lil. Are drifting coil-overs really over a grand?? thats rediculous!!! if youknow of any 240s with blown motors lets me know!!!
