Why don't people put the Mustang's ecoboost engine into 240's?
It's a genuinely good idea! More power, same amount of cylinders, you don't have to hunt for parts because it's still new and it still has a turbo!

well, why would people spend money to buy a brand new car, take the engine, and put it to an old car? :(
They’d just drive the mustang ecoboost, anyway hahaha

Well, Ecoboost engines have a cast Iron block, so it may be too heavy, specially in S chassis nissans.

Not that good of an idea. The type of guy to buy a 240 won’t be in the new mustang market. Plus the mustang is just a better platform all around.

So you think that the engine, transmission, driveshaft will all just plop in with no modifications and keeping everything cost effective?

Dropping in an SR for us in the USA is a lot cheaper and everything fits with little to no modification. Add a bigger turbo and a good tune and you have just as much horsepower as the Ecoboost while being a hell of a lot cheaper than the ecoboost route.

So good idea but really not

People, if you don’t agree with me just send this to me:http://38.media.tumblr.com/6f1dce613dc2bfc79d60c6edeab8d631/tumblr_inline_mgpdf1N2Ha1qaezui.jpg

I haven’t seen it in an s chassis, but I’m pretty sure there’s someone that’s done one in an S30. I’m with you though. It would be a solid swap. Ecoboosts are great engines.

Why swap a 240 though… other than an SR that is

Probably because SR20s are less than half the price

Its still a fairly new engine so used parts and engines arent around as much as the SR and others

cost to performance, it isnt a good idea. I would wait ten years before even considering it.
