Do you know what the 240 had done to it?

There are many swaps that can be done into a 240 (KA-t, SR, RB20, RB25, RB26), you will have to be a little more specific when laying down a story.



It was most likely a SR, since that is a common swap.

dude he said the guy came up next to him with a bov not much more description available most the time. id be willing to bet irs sr or jsut a kit on the KA not much more that would lose so horribly to a 7 even with highcompression and 12lbs...

Well I keep myself updated with the cars around here. If I race someone I am willing to either talk to them after the race or find out from someone else what is done to the car.

For all we know it was a KA-t with a Sabb T3 junk yard turbo setup running 5psi.



That's why I ask.

He might not know, but then again he might....so it's not going to hurt to ask.

I highly doubt that RB 240's are running around too frequently. Doesn't that swap require money out the *** like a 20B into the FD would?

Not really......I have an S13 with an RB25DET ( cost me $3800 for everything). My friend has an RB26 in his S13 (has to many mods to list) and I have another friend that bought his RB25DET clip with mine and is doing the swap before spring. Then also another friend that plans on doing a RB26 in his S13 also.



So are they uncommon?, well not around here!
