Nissan 240SX LS Swap Review - Is it The Best Swap of All?

Subscribe to my channel!- bit.ly/2jH1GkM
For this video, we hop in the notorious combination of the GM based LS motor into a small Japanese platform like the Nissan 240sx. It's stanced out for the track and is without the traditional sr20- but is it overall cheap for power? Is it balanced? How fast is it? Let's find out.

ThatDudeinBlue not gonna lie my phone was on a table and I check to make sure the screen was still flipped the right way haha

[@jacobmoorman117]

I thought it was cool

[@seanpittacora9668]

ThatDudeinBlue "Should have gone LS". David: "YOU TAKE THAT BACK"

[@Pcarrolo]

ThatDudeinBlue I thought my phone had flipped upside down for some reason, all good blue

[@JDM_LGND]

TheCarGuy14 David you should go 2j. David: Hell Yeah !!

[@e3srn]

To each his own, but I can tell there's going to be an onslaught of LS haters soon. Pretty mad swap tho, If you just want to go pure Bang for Buck, LS swaps are the way to go.

[@bobhilly546312156332]

Ethyn I mean roadkill kinda proved junkyard power stroke turbo is the way to go

[@e3srn]

Haha, yeah, but that in a lightweight FR car would kill handling.

[@XBullitt16X]

only in america, cheaper anywhere else ? Fuck no

[@subisam]

it doesn't kill the handling at all. in this case, it adds almost zero weight.

[@prostreetfairladyz8402]

Ethyn you can gain horsepower easy in a budget as well

[@mellow2jz625]

To everyone talking about how "The LS motor is junk" "2Jz and RB make more power" blah blah blah. I have a 2JZGTE swapped IS300. This isn't opinion, it's fact. The LS motor makes more power, is lighter, generally costs the same etc. That's why these swaps are so common in racecars. Dollar per horsepower and ease of doing it wins races, not internet opinions about what's cooler. LS Cars are the fastest cars per dollar spent.

[@Ristorisris]

That Mellow Guy to be honest, people who swap their car with an ls it's just smart it's lighter, parts are readily available and for the most part cheaper for you guys, American. The same reason why people swap 2jz and an RB on their Mustang and BMW in my country

[@jeffk464]

Yeah but by a corvette and fix it up for the racetrack, why buy something else and swap an LS into it?

[@ahsanrahimi4273]

because japanese cars are usually better platforms

[@ajwhite765]

@@jeffk464 lighter by far. Makes for a faster track car at the same power

[@ajwhite765]

@REEL SIXX also just a preference thing. I like the size of the 240sx more

[@MotionAutoTv]

Sometimes I miss the simplicity of having an LS in my drift car, but as soon as that wastegate opens on the 2JZ I forget all about it :)

[@bohenderson811]

MotionAutoTv Trevor! Your ls was cool, but I definitely like the 2j as well. You can't beat the sound of a straight 6.

Thats why i think too mush on swaping my rb25 por an os it because it sound and fin so great!, fue only reason why i want a swap is because lowend torque and reliability im afraid to go crazy on my rb

[@wilfredonarvaez8165]

The car culture is growing into a toxic place. While people like David here preach of how accepting it is. Thats bullshit cause if you listen to the internet 500hp is slow Ls motor swaps are boring and over done 1000hp supra is the only car you have fun in Mustangs kill every crowd Civics are all shit Turbo or no go Or the most famous phrase most car guys get is "If it was mine i would do..." Or "Why would you do that?" Really getting annoyed at how the scene is turning into what it is

[@NeutralChaotic]

And look at you, being toxic and bitching about things when you could have just kept your useless comments to yourself.

[@invertedpolarity6890]

All LS motors should have come from the factory with the intake manifold painted like the American flag. Awesome!

[@wizzykhalifa3552]

Saw Ls in the title, came to the comments to see the butthurt people in the comments. Lol I have an automatic 2016 wrx and I've gotten so much shit. Lol and the car community is the "best community ever" sike asf

[@blackopsbros1234]

Who drives an automatic wrx by choice lol

[@wizzykhalifa3552]

lol thanks for proving my point. and at that time i didnt know how to drive stick but now i do. o well nothing i can do about it now but it feels good that i can atleast afford a 2016 wrx

[@harmzyz0682]

Wizzy Khalifa yeah, I'll never understand the people who give a shit what other people drive or care if their car is an auto or manual. That's one of the most annoying things about the car community. You have a nice car, bro

[@Zankaroo]

And pretty much all of the people complaining don't know jack about what they are talking about. I have had a lot of people get smiles when they see my 85' Fiero GT and think its cool to see one again, but I've probably had twice as many just say its going to catch on fire or some shit. First off if my car catches fire its because its 32 years old. Secondly only 135 Fieros caught fire which is only 0.35% of all Fieros and it was only the 84' year model that only came with a I4 Iron Duke engine that had the issues. My 85' GT is clearly not an 84' because GTs are only 85'-88' and a GT does not have a I4 Iron Duke. I have to explain this shit every time and their normal response is "its still gonna catch on fire".

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Thanks for watching guys! What do you guys think of the LS swap in general?

Who gives a fuck if it has a LS, it ain't your fucking car 😂.

[@davidf2392]

We must provide the world with a proper engine LSswap the world :)

[@pvogel]

People talking about the LS being heavier, it being unreliable, it being a "pork of an engine". Please, if you have no knowledge on engines, don't comment. And here are my two cents: in the USM we got the 240sx (all generations) with the KA, which to nobody's surprise is just a slug. And I hope you know, if you're commenting in this video, that the KA is pretty much a revised truck engine. Now the LS is the most reliable, hassle-free (for the most part), engine swap you could do to the 240sx. Or even in general to be quite honest. Keeps the weight distribution pretty close to stock, as it does not weight much more than a KA. Now I don't belive "LS swapping" should be the answer to it all. I don't belive an s2000 should be LS swapped when the F20/22 are more than capable. But again, just my thoughts in the situation.

[@Dann0343]

LS weighs less than a KA from the specs I've seen lmao

[@matthewstorm5188]

“ I don't belive an s2000 should be LS swapped when the F20/22 are more than capable.” The issue with the F20/22 is that it needs forced induction if you want to get anything more from it. If you want to stay naturally aspirated, swapping is your only choice.

[@tprovosts]

@@matthewstorm5188 I agree man. The LS/S-chassis engines are absolutely out of line, and if I can put out my input on it, 240sx are LHD and S-chassis are RHD. Anyone has to remember that fundamental. So difficult to make an American V8 convert to an RHD chassis and vice versa engineering-wise. Other than that, whether it is the s-chassis big turbo engines such as 2jz's or the LS LHD chassis engine, they have very different feels (NA and Turbo, Linear and Top End power curves).If you make it very textbook and understand what you want and need, both are so viable but always remember, LS's you can buy em new. Nothing like more displacement. It's built for it. Expect to rebuild your 800hp LS after 3 years to make sure, when you SR's gonna be crying for one after a summer. It's how mechanic is. It's more often not about capability but character that people choose, and it's quite fine. But people, I think, have more of a problem of understanding their wants than their needs.

[@aaronkindersberg9427]

The LS swap is what ruined it. Not the fender flares $50 paint job the ugly spoiler and stripping the interior. None of that. It's the engine that ruined what was an all original nice one owner 240sx. You should put a BMW engine in it because that doesn't ruin the car and fits my narrow view of what's cool and acceptable. Also please take the CTSV brakes off because those American brakes ruin the car as well. Please only use JDM parts imported from Japan for exorbitant prices. You should like what I like and all other opinions are wrong because they don't fit my narrow world view. 1st Edit so that people will click read more and understand that this is sarcasm 2nd Edit for monologue: Thanks for 300+ likes. We are all car guys and we can appreciate the hobby. If you been turning wrenches for 50 years or just about to get your first car, We all understand this awesome hobby that we all share and love. Some people like Euro cars, others JDM, others still like American muscle. I get tired of keyboard warriors shitting on someone because some car doesn't fit "their" idea of whats right or cool. So what? Build your car your way. Once you stay up late turning wrenches or waiting all day for the UPS man to deliver your parts you know how hard and frustrating it can be. Our hobby is expensive and time consuming. It aint easy but its so rewarding to finally get your car built the way you want it. All those hours and dollars add up to something you cant buy. It's like Christmas morning every time you drive your car. Its such an amazing feeling once you put in that work and you go "Holy crap I built this". It's wrong to dismiss someones hard work and dedication just cause the car doesn't fit your expectations. It's no supposed to fit your expectations. I wish people would understand that and be more positive. Good Job on the Video ThatDudeinBlue and to the owner of the car good job on building your car your way. Good Luck boys and girls

[@banditjack1210]

Beauregard Shultzberg BMW ain't Japanese buddy

[@aaronkindersberg9427]

I understand that my guy. Another viewer said that LS is sacrilege and that he should do something different like put and BMW V10 into it because that's different. How is an American V8 sacrilege but a European V10 ok? It's because all these keyboard are typical import fans. If this was a 2JZ swap everyone would be falling all over it. It would have had dozens of comments about how cool and awesome it is despite the fact that 2JZ is a very common swap. All these guys are hypocritical and are hating on a car because it doesn't fit their very narrow view of what is cool are acceptable. He spent less money and has a faster more fun car that he likes and enjoys. Most of these people don't even have the money to buy a 2JZ swap or a car worth putting it in. This guy built a car he liked with his money. He put the hours and dollars into this car and a bunch of clowns on the internet are mad that he didn't choose the engine THEY liked. What a bunch of shitters. They can take their opinions back to Forza because no one gives a shit about your approval in the real world. Don't like the car? Don't build one like. Want to spend thousands to build your car differently? Go ahead. Its your money.

Ohhhhh... Is that why everyone is swapping Hemis into everything. Oh, wait... :-)

[@JohnSmith-te6wz]

I'm not an LS hater and agree that it's got to be the most practical swap for many different applications but it gets so old. Badass car none the less

[@evanverret3150]

John Smith now it's the LS, before that it was the small block Chevy, before that it was the flat head ford. People get bored of the mainstream but don't understand why it's done.

[@JohnSmith-te6wz]

SideWayz Moose I totally get it but I personally prefer builds that keep the stock powertrain

[@emeraldages]

It only gets old on youtube. But 1000hp cars get old on youtube.

[@imdestructive7624]

John Smith Turbo KA's and SR's are old for fucks sake

[@Zankaroo]

IDC what engine you stick in it 240s themselves are old as fuck move on to another platform. Nearly any platform can be good and easy to work on if enough people start working on them and the aftermarket picks up on it. Problem is we will not get that many really good platform cars anymore because there is to much passenger safety bullshit in the way making the cars bloated hippos of a car full of computers and other useless shit. The MX-5 and the BRZ/GT86 are really the only thing we have for modern tuner/hotrod platforms. I mean I like the new Camaro Mustang and Challenger but they are all heavy as fuck. A performance car should not weight 3,800lbs or more. You don't need an infotanment fuck twat system in your performance car. If you have any of these cars then you have a fucking smart phone with GPS, you don't need 200+lbs of computers and screens in the car doing the same fucking job as your 2 oz cell phone. Sorry this was meant to be just the first sentence but yeah......rant...

[@kevindavis5966]

I LS swapped my C6 Corvette and it turned out AWESOME! It had some crappy 427 ci motor in it, but I found an LS2 engine and put that in it. It's almost as if it was made for the car, it was so easy! Anyone know where I can find some cheap CTS-V brakes for it?

[@RBeeMedia]

How's the fuel economy with an average LS1 ? I know that if you're swapping to an LS, fuel economy prooooobably isn't your main concern, but as someone who's considering daily'ing an LS swapped 240.

[@matthewstorm5188]

As I understand, LS swapped 240s generally do no worse than stock 240s. Sometimes even better, at least on the highway.

[@alexhc21]

CTS-V brakes, cheap, powerful and reliable engine, wide tires, and an awesome chassis. I see no problems here.

[@kingpleb3808]

I actually like ls swaps

[@apartmedia1285]

that spoiler is horrible

[@briansmith7310]

Although my dream 240SX would have an SR20, I've got respect for this LS Swapped car. Is an LS swap common? Yes. There's a reason for that: the LS is a great motor. I'll admit it: my dream garage would have both a Corvette and 240SX. I'm a wee bit biased.

[@myanime101]

the only reason people hate the ls swap is because the Internet told them to this car is fantastic let the salt rain

The LS or any American V8 is a great engine to build but for me it has to be the KA or 2J

Great review. Seein these cars with ls swaps kinda want to do that to my 86 If anything were to happen to the engine.

[@CompressorSurge]

I love my SR20 but if I had to swap in a non-Nissan engine I'd probably have to go with a 2jz.

[@Fiction_Supreme]

Seriously go out and buy your own damn 240's so you can stop bitching about how an LS ruins a Japanese car's "heritage". A car is just a damn car in the end.

[@playerDJFL]

Silvia front bumper on a 240sx (or sileighty mod) is kind of a rare thing now. Are s13 Silvia bumpers still cheaper than 180/240 bumper in 2017?

[@Deathlyill666]

[@Turshin]

only thing better than the LS is the gen 2 or 3 HEMI. MOPAR OR NO CAR.

[@jose7777777777777777]

What did you say at 8:35?

[@DBGMLV]

LS-swaps are practical only in the US, because LS's were put in pretty much everything. In Europe you either can't find an LS motor or the cost an arm and a leg to buy. Plus parts are also as expensive if not more than SR20 or RB parts. Europe also has much more strict modification laws. For example in Germany (where I live) you can't put any parts on your car, if they don't have the propper certification. If you do and get caught, your car gets impounded and you have to take it back to stock or at least to a level approved by the governing body, before you can register it again.

[@FM4AMGV]

if you have an ls swapped 240 good luck on their part catching you...

[@NFSGamerful]

AMGV Media it's Germany, they need fast police cars and if you think they can't catch you... They will just find you

[@Turshin]

DBGMLV whats the extent of modifications you guys can do before they take your car?

[@DBGMLV]

You can't do anything, unless it's approved and specially mentioned in the cars papers. Otherwise they take your car and you can reregister it after converting back to stock. Wheels have to have a certificate that they are made and fit for your car. And you can only get approval for certain tire sizes. Tire stretch is forbiden, so is removing cats, wheel poke, rubbing, tint on the front windows. Also if they have the slightest suspicion that your car is not 100% up to the law, they impound your car and send it to be tested by an engineer.

[@stenmartens7179]

DBGMLV in the Netherlands when the car makes 150% of its stock power or the engine has been swapped you need to have it checked by a garage and have it registered as a whole new car by law. When doing so that also changes the insurance, which becomes insanely expensive if you don't have any no-claim years built up. To give you an idea, for a peugeot 107 (60hp) 3 cyl petrol, I as 20 years old with 2 no-claim years would have to pay 100,64 EUR a month for insurance. And adding more horsepower to that equation will drastically increase that price as you become the stereotype hazardous young driver.

[@brianheiden6623]

I always here people say I can go to the store and buy ls parts? You can go to the store and buy parts for any car lol WTF? What part would they have that would break during racing that you would run to the store and fix it real quick? That whole scenario never happens except maybe a drift event and even then you would not have time to tear a motor apart. Just not a reason to have an ls in an s13 or s14. There are tons of parts available everywere for sr20's, one of the most popular motors in the drift world. Most people who drift that are smart have spare parts. Who is dumb enough to go out to do something like that without spare parts? How about we vg30dett swap a corvette lol.

[@biggu2082]

Ls swaps are super practical but I personally wouldn't do this in a japanese car, it's like a American trying to act japanese or vice versa. But to each there own.

LS engines weigh 425lbs vs a 2JZ-gte that weighs 600lbs also the LS is shorter length and hight wise so the weight is farther back and lower. Plus its hard to knock a cheap engine that only needs a $500 cam to make 450hp-500hp'ish. And they rev high for a big v8 7,000rpm easy w/cam.

I know a guy with one of these. (Silvia, cathedral port 1000hp turbo LS). Whew. What a beast. I asked him to put an LS/Tremec in my minitruck.

She’s singing, and every time you shift she’s taking a deep breathe 😍

[@AceMirage1982]

That rear wing creates way more drag than downforce. It's so fucking rice hahaha

[@bozosgarage3215]

I did an auto-cross with the owner of this car and it is one of the coolest s13's i have ever seen or heard

[@tomtull1206]

So I guess you're trying to say your car hit a hundred and seventy-five miles an hour right? I doubt it if it does I'd like to meet you in my 73 Ranchero with a stock 351 Cleveland that hits too sick 165 miles an hour and see what what happens with the race. I like it had roller rockers and a cam but other than that it was stock but I still believe I could blow you rice burner away I don't care how loud your exhaust is how loud exhaust doesn't make a fast car.

[@TxJonathan]

You're thinking of the G8 that's people say is a Holden, or the new SS. The GTO is pretty much... well a GTO

[@rkd350z]

I see poor souls hating.. They never been in one of LS cars yet.

[@tomtull1206]

I had the comment after you said this beat is not the main thing I want an M1 foot rot do you have a 1 long or motor in there or are you just really not very Savvy on Motors or engines add to lawn mower motor goes blank blank blank blank blank and it pumps water and you said this car has I won I won longer and I'm sure you're confused cuz you're trying to talk while you're driving but in the future Maybe think about what you're going to say write it down and read it off while you're driving instead of trying to say this car is Superman this is the Batman car but I don't know what is in it and I don't know why it goes so fast but believe me it's fast is this allowed that makes it fast hahaha I can't believe you guys that put a fart fan on your car and think your fast pull up against the freaking old-time VA like mine and I would blow you away type stop light to stop light and I'd have to lock him up to stop and you come cruising up and blowing by me at 20 miles an hour when the light changes and I would still pass you by the next light and after three or four lights like most they do a U-turn and leave because they're totally embarrassed cuz they thought they had a hot rod your car sounds kind of like it's running and gravy.

[@2100Awesome]

upside down shot was the best ;)

[@macberry4048]

In California you can swap an ls and be completely legal. Next thing is in America the v8 is the most plentiful engine unlike Europe where if you want v8 a you have to find a Lexus

[@theunknown2772]

The best swap of all would be putting the 2JZ-GTE in a f*cking Prius. ULTIMATE SLEEPER

[@Dextercarsonoliver]

I just made a channel go watch my shitty first upload of my 240 project! Theres also a 350z crash at the end. Lol

[@dougcohen3364]

Lol.. When you take the front bracing off your rear subframe an never put washers on place to take up the extra space. (Not about solid bushings)

[@boot-strapper]

Can't do ctsv brakes in the rear, thats why it's a BAD idea. Terrible front brake bias. Z32 you can do rear and front to balance the brake bias.

[@k24cb7accord]

LS swap in a 240 is the only logical swap. My buddy Jacob did awesome with this car!

[@alf2633]

It's actually so cringy seeing people get upset about an ls swap in a Japanese car. Children dying of preventable diseases, war destroying entire countries, natural disasters etc, but no, you get upset about an engine choice for a car?

[@ttyler2987]

When there's a 5 minute Ad but you don't skip it because David is the best.

[@outerspaceslandscapellc]

have you ever been up there at panoz? i get a kick out of trying to find out what roads your on during these reviews cause i grew up out there. next time your out check out wheeler road its got some nice turns on it and not much traffic. its off of 124 before 211 and flowery branch

[@daveyhasslehoff1031]

Its not the best of all...you dont have to "mess around" with a turbo when it comes strapt to the engine guy plus upgrading whats already on an rb neo makes how much again? Weight gears and transmissions and weight distribution of the swap all factor into a swap claiming one is the best just cant be

[@benwilkinson1594]

Chlorophant the physical size is about that of an sr

[@boot-strapper]

Has nothing to do with his dumb quote.

[@Dann0343]

Big displacement engine with a small footprint. I don't see the issue?

[@ralphralphin]

I know im going to piss some people off saying this, but this car looks like a stretched out eagle talon.I think its the paint job. I love it all be it as all 240's rock.

[@modsandmissiles3344]

I see every one saying he ruined it sorry I wanna go fast lol sr20 to make a lot of power is hard the ka is a truck motor Ls1s make power for hella cheap like you can spend less then 1k and make over 500 whp
