Well as the title says. I am wanting to put a 13b turbo into my 89 240sx coupe. Does anybody of of an article that list where I can get the conversion peices or a company I can purchase them from, and does anybody know if my current 5 speed can handle the 13b or should I get the original style tranny as well.

I highly doubt your going to find a kit to do this. More than likely you will have to custom fabricate mounts and such. Make it easy on yourself and use the 13BT 5 speed.

I agree with Mazdero, you'll have to custom make pretty much everything. It definetly can be done, there is a buddy of mine here in south FL that had that swap in his car at one time. Good luck with it and keep us updated with your progress.

You mean this one............................... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

yeah thats what I want to do. But I will probably leave the Stock intercooler in place and get a new carbon fiber hood with a scoop. Now I just need to find one. I can't wait untill my tax return gets here.

I'm thinking that it would probably be cheaper, if you just buy a Rx7 FC.

damn, i was just thinking about that too! i have a 240 with a crap'd out ka. and i didn't want to be like every 240 owner in my town and drop a sr motor in it. still, i'll be taking that project on once spring gets here.



boost_creep: do you know the owner of that car?



in any case, lots of room for a 3rotor

Also lotsa room in your wallet... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

YEP. I do. He went back to nissan, he now has a worked RB25 in there.

Yeah, thats the one.

wouldn't you know it. just as i get the wiring harness all set up ready to install. a philpino woman in a suberban with 6" lift, while talking on a cell phone runs over my car. yes OVER. she parked her tire ON my hood when she finally realized she hit my car in the mall parking lot. I'm gona see if the how that fc thats for sale at my school is, maybe i'll take that.

You threw manners out the window and took a piss on her vehicle, right?

Manners my rosey red a$$. When I came outside and saw this behomith sitting nose in the air where my cars was suposed to be, and a cop car there too. I'm a 6'4" 235LB bald guy who LOOKS like a supremist minus the tats. I was pissed. She ran away and cop aproached me. I told him I wasn't gonna do nothin. Well I found her truck the other day. I just put BB's in her valve stem caps. They deflate over a couple days and nobody ever thinks the caps will cause that. I know its a little mean, but MAN. ON my car. The suspension didn't handle that too well. Looking back I think it was kind of funny, I was expecting my car to rise a little when she romoved her tank from on top of it. My car stayed flat on the ground, didn't budge an inch. Insurance totalled it when he looked under the hood, it had to be cut open. Broke the mounts and the engine was crooked. Frame gave a sight permanent positive camber too. I don't want to think what the view from under the car would be like. Well that FC at school was crap so I ain't getting that. But I did find an 76 chevy luv. Now I'm thinking four rotars, or the supra 2jzgte twin turbo. Probably do the supra, it being smog legal and the luv is a 76(needs smog in so cal). I'll save my 13b for something else. Maybe a fiero, after a lot of frame and suspention mods.

that is the best story ever.

im thinking the same thing. a 3 rotor would probly way as much as the ka right? if everything has to be custom how bout a 3rd gen swap? would it be easier because its a different mounting position?

just need 50k and you can get a built 3 rotor... oh yeah then you gotta get it in the car.

wow 50k that sounds about right when you can get the motor for roughly 4500 and a usual rebuild is like 3k with new housings, so 50k sounds just about right for a extra housing, that was a real good approximation



now back to my questions: a 20b would probly weight the same as a ka motor?, and as far as the mounting differences on the 13brew and 13bt wich would be a better fit?

I read in a Japanese magazine that the weight of the 13B-rew motor with ex. manifold/turbo/dp/intercooler/UIM/LIM weighs more same as the SR20 motor with the same stuff.

how much of a difference is the 20b and rew weight wise? and how bout wich would be easier to mount? thanx
