The Nissan 240SX has been the go to choice for anyone looking to get into drifting for novices and pros alike. Because it offers a stout, RWD platform for drifting, road racing, and drag, the 240SX has immense potential for just about any performance modifications imaginable. However, while the Japanese version of the 240SX, the Silvia, came with an optional turbocharged 4 cyl. SR20DET, the US variant came with a much more anemic NA KA24DE.

Swapping out the under-powered USDM KA24DE is one of the most popular options for adding power to the Nissan 240SX. While a SR20DET has traditionally been the go to choice for engine swaps in a 240SX, it is not the only choice. At JE Import Performance, we can offer our customer a wide variety of possible swap options from mild to wild! Whether it is a simple SR20 swap or a more complex and exotic setup such as an RB25/26, 1JZGTE, 2JZGTE or a Chevy LS V8, we can make it happen!

We also offer a turn key option for any of these swaps that takes the decision making out of the process. We put together packages that are based of what is a must with just enough upgrades to make it a great place to start when considering the swap. As always anything can be added or subtracted from these turn key setups but for more info check out our “Turn Key” packages.
