How fast is the 240sx stock? 1/4, 0-60, and how fast can it get using the stock motor, no swaps? I am thinking about getting one of these potentially for my first car ( I have a b12 right now, but it's technically my parents) and am looking for a fun zippy car. Thanks guys.

ummm if ur looking for a fast car stock then the 240sx is NOT for you they are pretty slow stock but once u pop in some mods then yes u can go zippy

dschrier

Not necessarily a fast car, anything would be faster than my b12. I'm not looking to go fast like a mustang or porche, just a nice car.

if u want a nice car thjen get it the 240sx is a great car and with a couple of mods can be fast don't blink buy it

ummmmmmm 240sx will never be a good drag car but it goes really fast sidewayz

I don't ever plan on taking it to the track, I like more of the twisty turn roads, those are the most fun to go fast on. If I turbo it then I'll take it to the track. Do they make a turbo for the ka24de engine?

drift240sxdragqueen

why don't u tell those guys with the 10 seconds cars that

yes they make turbos kits for the KA24DE, regular bolt ons should just add a few hp to add a lil excitement to the twisty roads, but yea if u don't wanna race and your more into auto cross/drift kindof stuff doesn't matter how fast ur car and get like 0-60 or 1/4 its how fast u can keep ur car while making sharp turns or drifts

but then again some people put the sr20det motors for drifting and such etc. having an sr20det u can drift and drag but its all about ur preference not ours, we are here to help you out, you make the final decision/cut

that IS the track. when referring to drag racing, it's the strip. derived from drag strip, hence it's called the strip.

in all honesty, ANY car can be made to be a good drag car, even Hondas.

but the 240SX is a great track car, near 50/50 weight distribution and a FR setup.

To answer the first guy's question...last season my car was completely stock, and I ran a 15.6 @ 89 mph. Didn't get a 0-60 time, but was running 70mph @ 1/8 mile and just under 10 seconds.

get a silvia half-cut and put the SR20DET in the 240. before you drop in the engine, modify it to the hilt. change the cam shaft, the flywheel, do a 3-angle valve job, port the intake, upgrade the turbo. the car will rock. be sure to change the front brakes to beefier ones. and maybe upgrade the whole suspension. get a VLSD for the rear, as well. the car will rock. you can then autocross it and time-trial it off the public roads where then, by the time you have modded it, would be highly dangerous. of course a tricycle on the road can be highly dangerous, too.

KA motors are slow!!! best time i ran at the track in a quarter was 15.2.

I did a s14 swap ... did a few mods like boost controller, front mount, and a small shot of nos (75) shot.

I'm doing 13.1 now in a quarter (average)
Best time was 11.12 (redlighted) LOL

amaizenblue

hmmm. Why the HUGE difference between your best time and your average time?

Was your KA time on a stock setup?

dschrier

Was your 15.2 time stock or modded?

marknfx

stock KA motor that came in the 1995 240sx SE!

amaizenblue

Well, you'll have to excuse me for finding a stock 15.2 pretty hard to believe.
