Cleanest Nissan Swap EVER?! 800HP Single Turbo VQ35HR S14 240SX (15 Year Restoration Project)

This episode we feature "The Ugly Duckling", Andre Cargill's 1995 Nissan S14 240SX. Originally this was one of the baddest KA-T Nissans in the country, its next step in evolution consists of a VQ35HR Swap as a base with future plans to swap a VR38 R35 GTR short block for 1100+WHP and a BMW DCT Transmission. This is without a doubt one of the cleanest s-chassis nissans we've ever seen, over the past 15 years there was no bolt left untouched during the restoration of this beautiful S14. Watch along to learn about Andre and his build the Ugly Duckling.

The owner of the car looks like he could be freshkiicks brother lol

[@JusstinC]

That does NOT sound like a VQ

[@Superdimensional]

Way rather see this than a 2j in it.... or an LS. Do something different, keep the Same brand power plant!

[@BalticSupraRacing]

One of the coolest car guys ever. Andre has been a huge part of Baltic supra also. This 240sx is beautiful

My guy said stock short block??? For 800whp??? Impressive but I don't know how long it can live there lol

Love the attention to detail, both mechanical & cosmetic.

[@andylebandy]

Equal length manifold, that's the secret of that VQ sounding so good

[@wetwea33]

Andre is a joy to listen to. Really is a wizard with these platforms.

[@On3_media]

This is one of the dopest swaps ever and I’m glad to see him keep it in the Nissan family.
