a break from the SHO

[nc89sho]

i decided to get back off messing with the sho and back onto my 240. so i took the opportunity to make my autocross car a little bit more like sams..:sun:



and for those of you that don't know, the hood is the addition

 

[frosho]

So... you're a ricer now as well?

JK, that looks like a fun car. Clean too.

i prefure the term "sellout" but sure i guess... and yes. it's a very fun autocross car. doesn't have nearly the power of my old 89, but weighs about 600 lbs less.

Stock engine or something swapped in?

 

[SVOFANATIC]

Hey at least it isn't a riced out 240 lol.

 

[SeanMc]

I love those things. Lightweight, rwd, lots of aftermarket, and an LS7 fits just fine.

Ok, now me want!

this is just a stock KA24de at the moment with bolt-ons and cam swap. my autocross clas doesn't allow engine swaps with anything outside of Nissan/infinity, but i'll be building a turbo setup for this car soon (ish)

 

[nc89sho]

currently car just has suspension mods out the a$$ and some weight reduction. it's in the mid to low 2600s now.

 

[nc89sho]

oh, and dynoed 165hp at the wheels on a local dyno a couple months or so ago.

Oh no, so you're limited to RB26s, VH45DEs, or VQ35HRs. Too bad...

Nice car, needs more pignose

first.. eww i hate the pig nose front end... so...

on the engine side.... Rbs are way to heavy for an autocross car. vh and vqs are too much trouble and maintenance is not as easy (bad for a track car that has to be fixed track side) also.. the bigger the displacement, the higher the minimum weight. jason roads made 400 ft lbs with a stock compression turbo KA so i really don't see a practical need for more power than that in an autocross car were the top of 2nd is the highest it's going to see.
