I know higher compression is better for economy, but when I pull the 240 out, I'm not worried about Eco-driving...  The built engine, with the individual throttle body injection and 11:1 CR on E85 should be a scream to drive in a light chassis. |
Back in the day Jim Wolf use to do the ECU and cam for the 12v 240SX HB, which was basically Nissan's Truck motor with a lower CR than the 16v motors. We would just run bolt-ons including nitrous, because we could salvage low mileage motors from car-part.com for $500 all day
Funny thing about those cars was you could get a muscle car to follow you into a curve and only you would make it out lol. The came from the factory with 195/60/15s on steelies, but once you slapped on some 225/50/16s you would be pulling close to a g.
