angelmanuel Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 just curious, what is the largest engine you guys have heard OF being swapped into a 210 (B310)? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Probably a KA24 E or DE I forget now. They make close to the same power as the VG30 and close to the same weight but easier to fit. Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 The ca is about the same size right? And a little lighter I think at least for shipping weight. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 CA18ET and CA20E Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 CA18ET and CA20E I relize there smaller displacement, but aboat the same physical size correct? Quote Link to comment
angelmanuel Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 interesting. i would have thought someone would have dropped a V-6 or V-8 in there by now. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 interesting. i would have thought someone would have dropped a V-6 or V-8 in there by now. Maybe, but why? You can make oodles of power (more than the car can take) out of a 4 cylinder (try SR20DET or CA18DET). And after you have this power, it will be lighter than any v6 or v8 brother. A v6 or v8 is more of a "hey look at me" type of thing. Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Some one posted a 302 swap pick in the 210 section but I couldnt find it, looked snug. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I've heard of V6 Buick 3.8 swaps in older ones and in 1200's. There was even a guy on here a while back that was hell-bent on a VK45DE V8 from an Infinti. Whatever happened to that guy? He was so certain it was doable? Another dead Datsun? The KA E/DE has lots of power. And if that is not enough, there is always a snail for sale somewhere. Quote Link to comment

A v6 or v8 is more of a "hey look at me" type of thing. well, i cant buy the whole lighter argument. a 4 cylinder built to handle lots of boost will be very heavy. i owned a SRT-4 (which can make 500 hp relatively easily) and i remember in the forums people saying that an LS1 was only about 75 pounds heavier. a stock V8 can provide tons of power in stock form. anyway, i am not trying to start a V8 is better than a 4 cylinder war. i was just curious about it. thanks for all your opinions.

datzenmike Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 CA18DET with trans 389lb SR20DET Complete + Five Speed 490lbs (source Sport Compact Car) Buick 3.8 380 lbs. no tranny chevy V6 4.3 425 lbs no tranny Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I don't know about the biggest but to me this makes the most sense: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/27666-burleighs-ka-210-sedan-build/ More than that would take the fun out of driving it. If you had to go faster there's always a turbo. Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 just curious, what is the largest engine you guys have heard OF being swapped into a 210 (B310)? if you are interested in putting in a ca18det into a b210, i have the motor mount templates. you can have them for free. the only catch is that you have to use the mckinny motorsports motormounts and tranny mount. they sell them cheap. i have a ca18det in my b210, and i fucking love it. This motor turned my car from a meek mannered little car, into a ballistic little bully. I love rollin up on fools that think there fast cuz they got a honda with a filter and an exhaust.

DISLEXICDIME Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I have seen a 302 in b210 there are pics of it on here some where Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 i have a ca18det in my b210, and i fucking love it. In my opinion, the sexxxiest swap for a B110/B210/210. Still not the biggest or cheapest but so goddamn sexy. Quote Link to comment
