i'd love to throw this thing on my truck only 250 bucks!!!!! thats a steal the way he talks seems like he put a smaller s/c pulley on it, i probably won't do this but if i were to what all would be involved? im sure this thread has already existed but i just would like to know w/o searching for it lol.

yeah thats why i probably won't do it lol not worth taking the engine out and rebuilding for only a 30 hp diffrence, unless i used h beam rods balanced crank and deep dish pistons.

it'd be a nice replacement for you s/c guys though.

i might pick it up, mines got 90 thou on it

90k on a s/c thats amazing people usually have problems with them around 70k 80k miles.

The ER's have differnet internals or just a different compression? I understood all VG33's to have a steel forged crank, and forged pistons/rods.

yeah i heard that too, these little engines are built pretty stout, i thought the e's and a er's had the same eveything internally just nissan slapped a s/c on a vg33e hmmm good question icarus

I'm still learning the truck game, but this is definitely true for the 200sx I had... the 200sx se-r runs the same motor as the 240, but without the turbocharger, so that motor comes standard with forged pistons, rods, etc, and was almost indestructable. Seems like, when it comes to 'lower-grade' versions of the same product, Nissan sees no need to cut corners.

not quite... the 240sx had the KA24DE, the same (for the most part) as the 1st gen 4 bangers. no turbo. The 200sx here (sentra ones) had an SR20DE or something very similar, which was the NA version of a very powerful and very potentially monstrous beast.

and i think i would benefit more from an s/c...
