New shop car

DRYFT · 12-10-2006, 11:39 PM

We started working on our new shop car for next spring. Its a 98 240sx. Sorry, all cam phone pics so far, will start using a regular cam lol.

Its in pretty good shape with 98k miles. Replaced pretty much all seals/gaskets.

Started turboing with our Turbonetics kit for the ka24de. Will be shooting for about 400whp with the t3/t4.

Also finishing our hx35 and twin intercooler setup on the saab 9000 parts car.

nice... if my S14's brakes were better, i'm sure it would've been a fun car. dont forget to help it slow down when you make it that fast

What's the goal for this car? (i.e. drifting, time trial, drag)

**Jeff** · 12-11-2006, 12:46 AM

What is the stock turbo? Mitsubishi?

Its going to be a promotional/drift car. It will be a full build including paint/body. Most likely up for sale in the spring sometime when were finished.

Its the stock T25 off the saab.

Yea this didnt have the factory lsd so we welded the diff together lol, but we're getting a real lsd for it.

400hp seems a bit unrealistic on a unbuilt motor. i mean you can make any power for a few pulls till it blows just for big numbers. 300whp is about the most people get out of stock KA's that are reliable and thats not even that often.

if its going to be a drift car you dont even need much power anyways

goodluck though

Jeff Taylor who set the record at 558whp on stock internals with a completely ghetto rigged ka24det setup will be tuning it . 400whp shouldnt be any problem lol. It wont stay completely stock anyways though. It will be built by spring time.

You should come check it out, you had the 240 that you sold right?

very nice! i'd like to see how you do with the holset....i thought those were more deisel oriented turbos though? i'm not sure

How long did it last? Would it make it around summit point for 30 minutes in the summer without blowing up?

Just curious.... I always thought big HP was fragile on track.

Interesting buildup.

Hey speaking of the Shop, do you guys need a Saab 9000 engine/trans? N/A, but cheap.
