To tell you the truth. It was a very straightforward swap. I actually bought a premade mount kit. All it entailed was a custom transmission mount, and modified stock 240SX mounts. You also need to do some minor notching to the front crossmember and regardless of what LSX motor you go with, only the GTO oil pan clears the front swaybar. Other than that it's just wire up and go.
There are a few companies that make headers for 240SX chassis. I personally went with Hinson headers. I made a custom Y pipe to a single exhaust out (believe it or not - not the typical 240 fart can). Custom Home Depot (ABS Plastic - hard black PVC) cold air intake (plastic stays cooler than aluminum). Some minor free mods.
With the tune the car put out 355rwhp with matching torque. In a chassis that weighs 2600lbs. fully loaded (even with power everything), it's quite a fun car to drive. Stock rear ends on these cars are good for 500+rwhp and it's already a 4.083 final drive, so that's go to go. Throw some drag radials on it and you'll net times that I have in my sig with a bolt on LS1.
Also as a side note, the factory 4 cylinder has an iron block so it's quite heavy. The LS1 motor/transmission combo I put in only added 20lbs. over the stock motor weight. The car handles fantastic thanks to that V8 aluminum block.Last edited by Superluminal; 12-19-2008 at 02:39 PM.

fast yes, but who cares. it's still a honda. just put a big block in a radio flyer it's the same thing.
plus 99% of hondas are just rice boys who think they're the best thing out there. i would say the most annoying thing about hondas is the false sense of vast superiority their owners have.

I usually see the same thing from the domestic side of the fence. Problem is the majority of Honda owners are teenagers who want to be fast, but have no cash to do it. There lies your problem unforutnetly.
Like I said I agree with you on most owners, but I've seen a couple that are done right and look nice. Sure they my not be the fastest thing and as "usable" as a RWD platform, but to each their own. That 1% actually don't care about who is faster and are cool with anyone. Finding these Honda owners is like finding a diamond in a rough. I have a couple friends that own respectable Hondas. These guys have cars that aren't lowered to the pavement, don't have rediculous wheels or an exhaust that sounds a weed-wacker. They are tastefully modded, look very presentable, and have a respectable engine setup under the hood, and are more than welcome to any of the domestic meets.

I've driven both of them. The S2K is a fantastic handling car, even in stock form. The problem with this car is it sucks for daily driving because it makes all of its 240hp at the very top. So when driving normal on the street you're winding the motor out to 5k+ just to get moving. Basically, if you're racing the car around a course it will impress, when you're not racing and just driving you will be disappointed.
The NSX is one of the best car's I've driven. I drove a bolt ons one with suspension work. That car was amazing to drive. It nailed the corners and hit the apexes perfectly. The steering was just fantastic. The car felt planted and rigid around the track. Since it had a V6 over the rear wheels, the traction and torque was there. It was quite usable on the street, not to mention the car looks like sex on wheels. This car is definately not a very fast car, but in a car like this, you get what I like to call "the total package". Everything works so well together on and off the street. That being said, I do believe the car is overpriced.
Everything else made my Honda was FWD nonsense for the daily commuter. However, anything can be made fast.
