tehzack Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I got tired of the conquest so I bought another 240sx. Got in nov. '10 for 700 bucks. 5spd, 313k, se model. Bone stock. When I got it: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/ugh002.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/ugh001.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/ugh003.jpg Then I put coilovers, 5 lug, J30 brakes, 180sx lsd on it and stole the wheels off the conquest: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest002.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest001.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest.jpg Then came time for cooler wheels and a turbo:http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest007.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest001-2.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest002-2.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest003-1.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest004-1.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest005.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest006.jpg Then after 2 pulls on the highway on 18psi with the original 313k motor this happened:http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/179875_172120506167374_100001082776876_378792_2969123_n.jpgThe oil pan was full of piston rings lol.

Lance_S Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 lol, saw that coming. But the car does look darn nice with the questy wheels and slammed. How was the pull before the bang? quicker than the quest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehzack Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 So I replaced the motor and kept it on a more reasonable 10psi for awhile and focused on making the car look cooler:http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest009.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest052.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest044.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest042.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest032.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest025.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest014.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest012.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest007-2.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest003-3.jpg That got boring so I got an Holset hy35 and some kelford cams:http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest-2.jpghttp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/219109_10150150070150893_714505892_6538663_5444057_o.jpg I put my weld's on the back because it seems to help the clutch slip less than carrying those heavy tail 18's.

tehzack Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 The car has been running since feb on a bone stock motor with well over 200k (well I did put a fresh fel pro hg on it before I put it in lol). Since I put the holset and the kelfords in it i've been running it on 15psi with the rev limiter set to 7400rpm everyday. This is how it runs: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/th_video-2011-05-19-15-22-48.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/th_video-2011-05-19-15-25-56.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Quest Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Looks good man. To bad about the engine. I'm sure you'll get it going again. My question is how do you feel about the 240 compared to your quest like over all and performance. What do you feel is a more gun and reliable car?

Dred_85.5_TSI Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Nice!! I wondered where you were. That model 240 hatch is on my list of cars to own eventually. Oh, Holset Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is how do you feel about the 240 compared to your quest like over all and performance. What do you feel is a more gun and reliable car? The problem with my conquest is just that its an old car. It was constantly breaking, constantly needing something. Personally I like the way the starquest looks significantly more than an s13. The interior in a conquest is nicer than an s13, but performance isn't really a fair comparison between the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Quest Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Yea I figured. It looks nice man. It just seems so much easier to to do things to a 240. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierquest Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Yer tires don't fit yer rims...oh and I you may want to think about removing that cat.

tehzack Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 all this money spent and you have yet to fix a single dent in it. I can see why your conquest kept breaking on u. I think I see the correlation now. I should have done bodywork to fix how unstable this car used to be. I don't know what I was thinking when I replaced all the control arms and bushings. When I got my conquest I should have painted it instead of replacing the 02 sensor, vacuum advance, vacuum lines, fuel pump, fuel tank, clutch, turbo, brake pads, spark plugs, spark plug wires, coil, ignitor, ecu, throttlebody gaskets, injectors, injector clips, and doing a distributor rebuild. I wish that I knew that spending 300 bucks to buy supplies to fix dents and paint my car would let me avert spending thousands to make my cars reliable and fast.

nomad Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 With all that power why does the KA turbo get such a bad rep? Why do a Sr20 when KA-T is that good? Also, What size tires are on these front and rear (9s and non- shp 8s)http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/QuickShotxMLx/240%20number%202/conquest001.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people think you can throw an SAFC and some old sr injectors on the car and go do burnouts forever. The only motor I'd ever put in this car besides a KA is a gen III/IV SBC. 205/40/16 Front. 225/50/16 Rear. The car was rediculously low on those wheels with that tiny tire on the front. I destroyed the oil pan on a manhole cover one night lol. Edited May 25, 2011 by tehzack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
