nissan 240sx and if you heard a BOV probably had an SR20DET swap bad ass machines I haven't came in contact with one yet. all I know is the sr20 is a good motor and if he did his **** right you probably didn't want to race him.

depends on the car and many other things as well... a co-worker of mine had an older 240 and it went 0-60 in about 11 minutes...

ive raced a few 240's with turbos and always barely won or stayed even. The ones w/ out turbos arent that fast at all. i only lost to two guys who run in 12's in the 1/4 mile.

there was 2 motors offered in the 240s here...ka24e ::sohc 89 and 90 only :: 132hp and 155 torque...then u got the ka24de ::dohc 91+:: 155hp and 155 torque..the 2.2's can pull away from these...i raced a 96 auto with intake,exhaust,header from a 70mph roll and by 110 i had 5 car lengths...but if u run across one with a sr20det thats modded the cars are quick as hell or if u live near a major major city one with a rb26dett swapped in its over lol

pretty much. this is one of those cars where it COULD be fast, but 90% of them are old beat ass **** boxes.

maybe he had one of these...
