In today's video, we're continuing the 240SX restomod project by stripping the rest of the engine bay. In the last episode (link below), we pulled the KA24E in preparation for the upcoming RB25DET swap. There's still a lot to figure out when it comes to placement and routing of things, but lots of progress is being made. In the coming weeks, we'll be prepping and hopefully painting the engine bay, swapping in a new subframe, rebuilding the steering rack and more! If you haven't seen my most recent update video (link below), I went over a lot of updates with regards to content and the future of the channel so be sure to check it out! With everything I've been doing in the background, we're about to dive into a lot of seriously fun content! In the near future, I'll be introducing a lot more project content to the channel, in addition to my normal reviews. The 240SX is kicking off once again, along with a few other things I have in the works! I'm really excited to see where all of the new projects takes this channel. They're a great way for me to interact with you all more and us all to have fun together!

If you re spray that car please keep it that oem color, it's beautiful.
Agree
Definitely keeping the original color, it's called Midnight Blue Pearl. I can't wait to get the bodywork done, it's going to look incredible.
@@saabkyle04 Will you get a Concourrs paint job.
You know I was just looking into this like an hour ago, and was thinking “man I wish a UA-camr I actually liked would do an RB25 swap on a 240” then BOOM! You’re a prophet!
Thank you so much Caleb! I appreciate the support!
If you still want the A/C this is the best option. Go to Street FX Motorsports and search RENCOOL RNC105 - 18000 BTU CAPACITY REMOTE ELECTRIC AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSERS, RENCOOL MD18 - 12V OR 24V ELECTRIC AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR.
Fantastic! I'll look that up, thanks Bryan!!
To reinstall reverse the disassembly steps. Famous last words. Lol
Hahahahaha
My dude!!! This stuff is FUN!
Yeah man!
Next for the 240. Clean bay, remove front suspension, Get new bash bar, repaint the bay, new wire harness, radiator, fans, put pop up lights back on the frame, Fusebox, sikky sway bar, RB25DET install, Tune, New body kit, repaint and that's it basically.
That's it!! 🙌
I agree with StabTheDabb Do the darned good thing and probably upgrade the Pop-up lights
StabTheDabb 2 now you spoiled it
@@lopez12345ml its the list of thing Kyle needs to finish the 240 so who said I'm spoiling anything 😄
That should take 2 videos
I just wanna say that this is the most satisfying build series I've ever seen
Thank you Matthew! If you don't mind sharing, what do you like about it? I really appreciate any feedback you have!
Saabkyle04 no music, nothing sped up, quality footage, multiple camera angles, explanations throughout. I love these kinds of videos.
@@saabkyle04 I like how you go in-depth with everything, filming everything, and the fact that you're doing every little thing properly, touching every single nut and bolt, the whole thing is just satisfying to watch
Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know, I really appreciate the support!
Thanks a lot Jake!
Amazing job. Impossible to do in Spain with the restrictive regulations that we have. It’s very envious to see the aftermarket automobile industry that we have. At least we have channels like yours to enjoy
Well I really appreciate you watching! Here, it depends on state regulations. In my state, emissions testing doesn't apply to anything older than 1995.
Why did I do this ‘properly’ in the first place is any true builders/enthusiast comment when dealing with wiring or engine-bay of any car!
I'm in the proces of redoing my wiring right now, and I'm ashamed of myself... seriously i did those looms a year ago ?
It's nuts haha, putting it back together will be interesting to say the least haha.
Yeah, I’m going to have to wire my build and the thought of it is going to be annoying. 😩😩😩. Granted it must be done.
10 part video series confirmed?! Hope the last part is like 4 hours long ;p
Hahahaha, I have no idea how many parts. I don't want to water down content, just have enough parts that I can be informative as to what we're doing. Thanks for watching pal!
My favorite project car! Hope it turns out to be great.
Thank you!!
havent watched the channel in a while, definitely happy I came back with the mix of content
I must say you've came a long way kyle🙂 you've inspired me to make me wanna start my project.. Been watching your videos since you did the impala as 96 and 91 Ford ltd crown, Victoria reviews cant wait for the other upcoming projects!
I can't wait to see the new engine bay!
Ahh every time I see a new "Rebuilding the 240" video come up I'm just like ahhhh YES. Lovin the build Kyle. Looks great!
Thank you so much Zach!!
I'm proud of you for gutting out the front of the 240sx and I am looking forward to S10 Custom crew cab videos and the continuing with the Jimmy Build and the third video that involves with the Chevelle Malibu that used to be Crystal's Grandma
Thank you Brian!
I'm excited to see the new engine in the car I also wish you a happy day
Thanks so much!
Wow that engine bay is looking cool!!
It's getting there!
Maaannn the 240 is gonna be a beast when it's done
Yeah it is!
Better than a bang bus for sure ;)
Man, you are literally building my dream car! Great video as always Kyle :)
Thank you Edward!
Good job with the video cant wait to see the next one.
Thanks bud!
Nice work! Looks like the progress is picking up!
Finally! I've been dying to get back to work on this car haha. Thanks Elton!
The best serie in the youtube today, congrats!
Thank you!
Friendly reminder, dont forget to cut that prop rod mount out before having the bay painted.
Yeah I had thought about that, thanks!
I remember that all your subframes at suspensions are new and then you change your engine. I think you should go with the engine swap first. But it's all done now. 😁👍
I felt it was important to get the suspension (handling and control) dialed in before adding power. There will need to be adjustments made but it's turned out well so far. Thank so much for watching!
These videos are like dopamine to my cells!
Please keep us updated! (:
Thank you so much for the support!
on my watch list this weekend
Thank you!!
Fantastic video as usual!
The process might look complicated, but it's worth the labor! I can imagine how awesome the 240SX is with the RB25...
Thanks again buddy!
@@saabkyle04 Anytime, pal!
I was able to keep my oem window washer bottle. Zip ties to just keep it away from the ic piping and it's doing the trick a few years now without issues.
Awesome Kirk! I'm not going to buy anything until I'm able to test fit the engine, then I'll really know how much room I'm playing with.
looking good!!!
Thanks dude!
😊😊😊😊😊
As a former owner of an S13 and S14, I'm firmly in KA24DET club. I will admit the RB is a heck of an engine and a better swap than the SR's.
Go go go Kyle!greetings from greece!!!
Greetings my friend!
I see those rb26 valve covers on the shelf, ayyy
Honestly, I'll probably sell them. I thought I'd do more head work to the engine one day and use the covers to make a new look, but that's money I just don't see ever spending. I've spent enough as it is haha.
@@saabkyle04 that's understandable. I'm still trying to start my build one day. Army life though, everytime I start something comes up or I go somewhere new
I had a similar clearance issue with my z31 300zx for the turbo and downpipe. My turbo had a 4" exit, so I got a 4" donut exhaust, cut it up to get the right angle. and transitioned it to 4" oval exhaust. I had to make my own bends as there are no shops that can do 4" oval exhaust. It was a great learning experience to weld lobster cuts on oval piping lol
Wow man, more power to ya! That sounds awesome!! 🙌
Hey what’s up man great vids! I’ve been watching for a little while now and as somebody who has done multiple schassis it’s nice to see somebody really put some time into the chassis to build it correctly. A couple things 1) the sway bar most people use is the sikky because it works for lots of swaps since oem won’t work. I’m not sure the power brace fits with theirs. The GKTech doesn’t work with the power brace I know. 2) the cruise control will work again with a new module and a q45 throttle body that has the cable ran to it. Sits next to the throttle cable. 3) chasebays is a local company to me and they make great parts. Quite a few of my friends work there/own it. Their tucked radiator is a lifesaver on inline 6 swaps. You just can’t run A/C. They also remake all the brake lines and fuel lines and have adapter kits for tucked brake system to allow more clearance. Shoot them an email they know who you are because we have all watched your suspension videos a few times. Keep up the good work
Hey Brad, thanks so much for the advice! I'll look into all of that and see what my options are. I really appreciate the support. There seems to be a mountain of work still ahead, but it feels so good to be trucking along on this thing! Thanks again!
GKTech high clearance sway bar is the way to go. Easily clears RB and is already painted black which matches your OEM+ build. Only downside is that it won't fit with the S13 Nismo Powerbrace.
Aww man, bummer! Wonder if there's a different brace setup that's compatible with the HC sway bar? That brace was expensive haha, I suppose I could sell it if push came to shove.
Redlineeeee 💥💥💥
It's going to be 🔥
Great video and commentary! Any additional words of wisdom based off of your experience removing the engine, engine bay components and wiring harnesses? Would be interested to hear your thoughts a year later on do’s/dont’s and tips.
Love your style, keep it up.
1:08 - Good beats there.
Wow, looking more like a full restoration.
That's the plan!
Great video and info. I'm actually restoring a friend's car 1991 Nissan 240SX I've already got the engine in tranny out and I'm trying to clean the engine bay so when I take it to the paint and body they don't have a lot of work to do with removing anything. Thanks bro.
HELL YEAH
👌😁
*BeardedKyle04!*
I'm digging it hahaha
I just noticed I have thoes exact same pirelli tires on my mr2(execpt for size I'd assume). After the v6 swap I got thoes and they grip Soo good. They're one of my favorite tires I've ever had so far,they're not cheap but they're really worth it 👍didn't realize/think about the clearance stuff for ac stuff(mr2 engine bay for lines is a lot more forgiving since you just need lines because all the stuff like condesor is at the other end of the car lol), but I'd worry about the AC stuff until after you get the engine in and running since you'll see how much room you have
Yeah man, that's very true. The AC would be on a separate belt anyway so it's not in the way of progress. Figure it out after all the other stuff is figured out haha.
That will take a lot of time to get back together 😂
It should be easier, I'm going to simplify things. Still probably won't be easy though haha 😅
You should look into chasebays stuff they have nice reservoirs and lines for powersteering, coolant, clutch, brakes and lot of other stuff.
I definitely will! Thank you!
i got the ISR sway bar kit. which are a slight thicker up front, but wayyyyy meater out back. But the only problem is that the ones i got the rear was 1/2 inch or so off from eye hole to eye hole. So i was not able to use it. Im not sure if this is a normal thing, or a 1 off situation( i did get my money back from this situation). The front fit perfect though. I just wished the rear fit though because that was the main reason i bought the kit was because the rear sway bar was pencil thin.
That's interesting, I'm mixed on some of the ISR parts I've had in the past. I think they're great for the price, but there are nicer things out there obviously. Just depends on how much you're willing to spend. I think my biggest thing will be seeing where the RB sits before I buy another swaybar, just in case I need a different one for clearance.
Please post a long video of cleaning all that grease in the engine bay. There is nothing more satisfying than cleaning a dirty engine bay. Now, with no engine in there, cleaning should be so much fun!!!
I didn't think there would be enough good content to film on that haha. It would be a really short video 😝 At the very least, I'll film some b-roll of cleaning it to insert into the beginning of the next episode. Thanks man!!
@@saabkyle04 Sweet! You won't believe how many times I've found myself watching those mesmerizing pressure washing videos!
gud to see ur this new line of work videos. do consider some Mercedes projects too, love to see them
Maybe if my "skills" (or lack thereof) improves haha, that would be different for sure. Thank you for watching!
Did you ever use the transmission bolts from the ka for the engine stand? 95% sure they will work lol
Swaybars can make a massive diffrence.
👍👍
watching this makes me want to get a 240sx as my first car
They're really fun cars, even when kept stock. Trying to find a nice one is getting more difficult and prices have definitely increased. Supply and demand I suppose.
Finally!!!
Yeah buddy!
Saabkyle04 love your vids specially 240 vids
WTF i got so excited and clicked this video so fast thinking it was chrisfix’s video
nice job BTW
Why'd you think that? I appreciate it!
Yessssss!!!!!
🙌
Gosh Kyle it's all coming together! I can't wait to hear how that beautiful RB25 will sound...do you have a custom pipe on the 240?
Not yet, still have to get one made, lots to do before that though. It'll be a cool process for sure!
Not sure if you read this, for radiator upgrade, I suggest use Chase Bays Tucked Radiator. It helps more space of the front RB25.
I really like that setup, but they say it gets in the way of the pop up headlight motors and therefore I'd have to leave them up. I love the pop ups 😩
@@saabkyle04 That shame.
Never clicked so fast!
Thanks for watching!
Me to
Ayeeee shoutout turnercult T-shirts
Nice!! No better way than to jump in head first!!....LOL Good luck!.... :-)
Very true haha
Good job with the video saabkyle04.
How much power do you expect it to make ? Are you going to take it to a track ?
It's coming together great !
To be honest, I don't have a clue yet haha. I'd like to take it to a track at some point, but it'll be a street car.
With that beard, Kyle finally looks like an adult.
😝
What happen to the s10 crew cab build I was really looking forward to seeing more of it
2year process but every videos are full of detail
Yeah, it hasn't been easy. Now I'm finally in a position to get somewhere on this thing.
Keep up the good work!
How many parts will you record? Keep up the excellent work.
Quite a few, not sure how many yet. I don't want to water it down, but I want to be detailed in the process. Thanks!
The other guy sounds like David Blaine, *JUST SAYING* !
Who is that? haha
@@saabkyle04 A magician
Oh ok haha, thanks!
Check put chase bays that have a radiator kit to tuck it under the that cross member with hardly any modification
I will! Thanks dude!
Kyle. Shave now! Oh and thanks for not putting music. Its better that way.
Thank you haha
Can you try doin' it like the sileighty?
I'm going to do an OE type-x conversion
I had a 2jzgte 240sx S13 it will clear if you cut the rad support but get a custom dual pass griffen rad with a small custom condenser and put everything under the rad support rather than in front.
but you have to make a plan to fit all these custom stuff, try to push the engine as close as possible to the firewall
If you will wire a standalone, you can setup a cruise control, but I suggest you ditch the rb and go SR20
Dude, we're way too far into this to change engines lol. I didn't want an SR20 to begin with. Something about having an inline-6 😁 I'll look into the other stuff you mentioned too. It's all pretty overwhelming to think of at once haha.
@@saabkyle04 I like prefer RB25DET swap over SR but in your situation, the car is very clean to cut.
Can't wait for Kyle to put a new engine in this car
It's going to be so satisfying to finally test fit it, much excite!
@@saabkyle04 I'm sure you'll have fun with it
I know its going to take awhile. But 5.3L LS in the S10???
I'm definitely swinging toward LS, just not sure which one yet.
@@saabkyle04 Im not sure if a 5.3 would fit. But maybe a 4.8 V8? Thats less than 300 CI I believe. LS would deffinetly be sweet in that! Does the Chevelle have a motor?
Oh man just thinking about that excites me
It would almost seem easier to take apart the whole car and rebuild it around the RB25
smj smart junction block
🙌
Make sure to run your brake lines before putting in the new engine. Tight clearances make brake line running almost impossible.
Yeah man, for sure 👍
Chase bays hav a lot of tucked radiator setup for 240sx. You should check them out.
I definitely will, thank you!
Yo legitimate question, no hate or anything how long have you been working on the 240?
I've owned the car for a couple years now, but content has been pretty sporadic, especially this year. I uploaded an update video a little while back talking about the new shop, moving and the delays with the project that outlines everything pretty well if you want to check it out 😁
Your mechanic homeboy is more than likely a serial killer
Huh?
Hey Saabkyle04 will you get a Concourrs paint job.
What do u plan on doing with the old ka24e? I think that’s what it’s called
I'll sell it, the quicker the better so I can get it out of the shop haha.
Saabkyle04 ah ok was just wondering cause I, my self has a ka24e that half of the engine is in the bay and half is in the back in the trunk
Wonder if Turbo Yoda fancies a trip over from Queensland to help with the wiring? :-)
Not sure who that is, but we'll take any help we can get at this point haha
@@saabkyle04 look up The Skid Factory and prepare to disappear down the rabbit hole. :o)
What engine did you buy for it. How long does a engine take.
He bought the Motor for the 240sx.
Hey you can watch Kalvin's Garage S13 RB20 to get some ideas
#Nissan240sxForLife
Yessir!
If I may, next time take 10 min to remove the seat in order to get more space inside to push the wiring harness out.
Probably would have been a great idea haha. Thanks dude!
Hey @Saabkyle04 Rostra actually makes universal cruise control kits for any car, old or new :)
I didn't know that was a thing! Cool!
@@saabkyle04 I have a 2004 Nissan N16 Sunny/Sentra which didn't come with a cruise control. So I am planning to install one in my car this winter holidays.
Sweet! Best of luck!
Hey do you still have the rb25 neo turbo ?
Mine is a S1 and no, I don't have the original turbo unfortunately. Had to get a new one.
Get a sikky adjustable sway bar for the front suspension and a new steering rack
I thought they mostly did stuff for LS swap cars? I'll look into it!
@@saabkyle04 It fits JZ swaps as well and for RB's and SR20 swaps to.
Ok cool, thanks dude!
@@saabkyle04 your welcome 😃
Got a lift and your laying on the ground??
Keep the windshield washer system too, you wont regret it
I will for sure, just need to find a compact reservoir to use. Thanks!
@@saabkyle04 try some old stanza's and altimas
How much are you selling the ka24e for I’m just wondering ?
Which vehicle saabkyle04 do you think is the worse the GMC Jimmy or this 1989 Nissan 240sx. I think the 1993 GMC jimmy is worse. The one that is smoking very bad.
check out ultra racing . they have plenty of bars for your car!
Thanks Derrik!
I wonder what color the engine bay is gonna be🤔
Most likely keeping it satin black like it was originally
Sk04 new 2019 ford ranger
Can you review it??
I am Korean and I am looking good
👋😁
Don’t use the r33 sub frame I have a rb25 swapped 240 and with the r33 subframe the engine sits high which causes it to over heat with the coolant issues best bet is to order custom engine and trans mounts it will sit perfect and much quicker and easier
Thumbnail looked like a ChrisFix video lol
It was not intentional, just thought it looked cool lol
