mhub91 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Here it is!My 1989 240sx coupe... Picked this and an RB20 for a deal. Sold the RB and nearly made all my money back! (RB was missing way too many parts to even be worth beginning to build.....) Was a complete car a few years back, was media blasted to prep for body work and paint but friend lost interest. I purchased this to learn some DIY auto-body repair. I purchased the coupe in pretty rough condition, considering BOTH quarter panels were smashed, patched, and replaced. It is at least 3-4 cars welded together. Some repairs were done professionally .... others were of Russian chop-shop quality. I did not perform any quarter replacement / welds. Those were done previous of me purchasing it. Sold RB20 for $$$ to fund some supplies, tools, and these usable metal Silvia bumpers! After a few beers and too many hours spent on bondo, I decided to throw my shortblock L20b in just for shits and giggles. To my surprise, it fits -- kind of..? 2 Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Wasnt there an S14 race car with an L motor in it for sale here a few years ago. I believe it allowed him to run with older cars? Edit: it may have been the realm... Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Surprised to see there's enough room for an L6 in there... Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Surprised to see there's enough room for an L6 in there... If you can stuff an RB in there I would thing any nissan inline 6 would fit. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 If you can stuff an RB in there I would thing any nissan inline 6 would fit. While you're not wrong, an RB is shorter in length than an L6. And an RB is a pretty tight fit, so there was doubt in my head at least... ^_^ Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I see no problem with that. You can make the L have the same hp as the KA24DE did stock. A little tweaking and it'll do pretty good. Given the engine bay, I'd use the 6 cylinder L because of more power potential, but it's also heavier. Now, turbo that L series, and you have a winner! And possibly even slightly better weight balance? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I'd stuff a SBC in there. 4 Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 This is an old L20. PLENTY of room lol!!!! It looks so empty in there! Already taken it out. Just some after-work-fuckery. Although, I am seriously consider 2 things.... First is i6 L series. I would go carb'd, though. EFI L series is not my thing Possibly draw through turbo LZ. That would be cool as fuck!

HRH Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 SBC would be better. I can't believe I'm saying that. If L, do an L28. If you could only find a cheap diesel crank. (Wish list) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. This one will piss everyone off!!! sbc fits the title better than L6 does. Aw hell, get the kids off the street.... LS1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Stuff a vq56 in it since there is all this v8 talk going around. Shit I have a 440 with a 727 and Dana 20 transfer case, let's make it all wheel drive if we're gonna do all this crazy talk. Quote Link to comment
