thanks for the back up good sir, im happy someone has been paying attention **e-cookie for u ** as far as the engine, ive found a possible donor, possible 80Kmiles DOHC from a kouki 98 s14....only prob is i have to wait a month... but i knoe sidewaysstarion is gonna also try to see if he can help me out... timing chain kit is about 35 bucks, cheapest i found anyway... only problem is im broke at the moment and im tryin to sell my R/c Nitro for atleast 350 to get some money to fix this irritating problem and to buy other neccesities, such as a new seat, and helmet for autoX events... im considering the DOHC KA curently because if i dont have a choice in a month or so when my friend drops an S15 Sr into his s14, hes gonna gimme the whole swap for free...but i rather have anything now... might possibly have someone else give me his SOHC KA he pulling from his s13 for his sr swap aswell... but then again its a waiting game... i just hope sidewaysstarion or my other 2 friends can help me out b4 it becomes a bigger problem | ||

13k is not stock but not much has to be done to have it reach that... 20k? u mean he can hit that once right? and rx-7 rotray experiment... not piston experiment since we all know it works... do all you kids just think of ways to try to make you sound smarter? | ||

I'm not trying to make myself look smart. There are rumors of RB20's hitting 13k, Most are about 10 but they have had major work done on the internals. Hitting RPM's like that is just stupid anyway because the engine would be so unreliable for street driving, Track racing even. Oh and if didn't notice. My Last post was a joke. | ||

It also doesn't help when the guy doesn't realize that RB engines are illegal within the United States, and especially California, where emissions standards are excessively strict. The only SR engine that is legal in the United States is the NA SR20DE that was in the Infiniti G20. | ||

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 25 Member No.: 25,090 Joined: Jun 30th 2007 Location: Doin ur mom! | lol this kid... why not try solving the problem insted of b*tching? did you do a dead cylinder test? did you do a compression test? did you check timing? Check plugs? i mean seriosuly... AND DO NOT BUY A 240 IF YOU DO NOT HAVE MONEY... and even if you do have money you wont have much for long.... im in here tellin you the truth man insted of kissin ass im tellin you what i think its america i can do that cant i? check those things and get back to me.. and if you dont know how to do the test's here ill tell u! and ps your ka sounded like mine before it died... u sound like your only running on 2 cylinders..... 1.) Dead cylinder test.... pull the spark plug wires from the spark plug one by one HEAR! for a sound diffrence and the idle and even if it dies.... 2.) Borrow or if you have a compression tester disconect the fuel pump fuse and disconnect the ignition coil wire... and test each cylinder one by one to check for the compression... hell you can even do a leak down test but compression is alot easier and alot faster.... 3.) Timing light look up what your timing should be retarted or advanced 4.) Take each plug out one by one LOOK AT THEM HARD! SMELL THEM! they oily? REALLY REALLY DARK BLACK? (RUNNING SUPER RICH), will cause the electrode to basicly ground its self... SUPER CLEAN = BLOWN HEADGASKET! i mean the spark plugs will tell you alot about your car.... 5.) Take the cap and rotor off check if there is any arking goin on under tha cap, make sure all connections to the rotor and cap are clean,, check for play on the shaft of the rotor... stupid stuff... always try to get bronze tiped rotor and cap ALOT BETTER THEN ALUMINUM.... 6.) Check the dip stick!... why? if its milky ur f**ked.. if theres slight remence in the oil that means you have a slighly blown headgasket and is possilby saveable.... 7.) Check injectors to see if they are working.... unplug one by one its like doing a dead cylinder test but for fuel.... it can help narrow down... like if you do the dead cylinder test on the spark plug and it did nothing and you did the fuel and its same thing then there... 8.) DONT GET PISSED! thats it do these get back to me... maybe its not dying maybe its just outa tune... |

trust me the last thing im doing is b*tching...im just tryin to ask previous or current 240 owners wut it might be, im the first to admit i dont knoe all the answers, but the way u came off isnt exactly friendly approchable 2nd. i did have money but family situation came up and i lean towards family more so than my car....sue me...i didnt expect something to happen in my family...so it wasnt that i bought it broke no cash, i bouthg it with plans and money, but financial situation shifted...im just sayin to clear things up about why im in such a rut and not already rockin the CA i had planned in dropping in a month ago... 3rd... im not askin u to kiss ass, frankly kiss asses are dispicable and sorry people that should have been drowned at birth...i just expect a more calm approach... ill try ur suggestion tomorrow...i believe my friend has a tester for compression ill ask him manana | ||

Back up your nonsensical statements. Because it's obvious you don't have any real experience with 240's, KA's, and RB's. I find it hard to believe you're a "mulit state champ with automotive exclence" when you can't even spell excellence nor multi. Not to mention a number of other grammatical/spelling errors in your random posts of gibberish. In regards to the "don't buy a 240 unless you have money statement". Your logic never ceases to amaze me. The 240 is one of the cheapest cars to build. Parts are readily available, and cheap on top of that. Why do you think it's the "new civic"? To the original poster, check out this thread: https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=30378 I just posted some basic info on the KA builds. I'd recommend starting off with that. Please take it from someone with experience, the KA is a great engine. Just because it's "not JDM", doesn't mean it's crap. And cpt jack, before you ask. Yes I've owned a 240. I've owned 2: a 1991 with a KA that I did minor all motor mods, then a 1990 coupe which I swapped an SR. I also helped a buddy of mine with his rb25det powered 1998 240sx. In addition to that, I've owned an evo, and currently an FD. So don't bother questioning my experience. This post has been edited by Junon on Jul 17 2007, 10:10 PM | ||
