How to make a 240z FASTER?

6663 Views 8 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  Unknown User
I'm considering buying a stock 72 240z, and am wondering what I would need to do to make it run about a 14-15 quarter time. I am wary of the v8 conversion because I would still like to keep the weigth down for handling, and it seems like it would be a hassle. I am not well versed in the datsun engines and would like to find a source for info(website?) that could outline how to build a nice engine. Could I use the stock block? Also, an estimated price would be nice for each suggestion. I would probably be content with a little over 200 ponies, but I welcome all suggestions. Does anyplace build these engines for you? thanks

Cold air intakes

Dragonhead, I could be wrong, but I think Matt was referring to a fuel injection set up. You could rig up a way to get colder air to your carbs, but I don't think there is an actual unit you can use -- you'd have to fabricate something.

A lot of people say that the stock air cleaner is just fine. If you want to improve your situation, though, you might consider getting a "stock" K&N high performance filter. They cost 3 or 4 times the price of a regular filter -- but they last virtually forever. Or you could dress up your engine bay with dual K&N or similar complete air filter units. That will run you $75 or more.
