Import Extravaganza – TX2K21 Streets

April 23rd, 2021

  When these gearheads are not laying it down on the track, they take all the smack talk, posturing and competitive spirit to the streets (of Mexico). Unfortunately, even the best laid plans sometimes come unraveled. When this TX2K21 Cash Days fell apart, these racers set out on a spontaneous evening of grudge racing and call outs. The imports were the feature attraction, and they did not disappoint. First up is a contest between an all-wheel drive K20 turbo hatchback Honda Civic and a – hold up, the cops arrive and shut the whole thing down. That necessitates a change Read More

V6 Turbo Swapped Nissan 240sx – Build Tips and Street Hits

May 29th, 2020

Greetings speed enthusiasts and other gearheads. Allow me to introduce Andre Cargrill and his Ugly Duckling. Andrew has been 15-years building the version of the Ugly Duckling that hits the streets (of Mexico) today. Last time we saw Andrew’s car, a 1995 Nissan S14 240sx, it was equipped with a turbocharged Nissan KA four-cylinder engine. The four-banger was more than adequate – and Andrew builds a really nice ride – but he wanted a little more. Now, the duck is powered by an Infiniti (Nissan) VQ35HR V6 motor with a massive turbo. Numerous modifications were necessary for the chassis of Read More

7-Second LS Swapped Nissan 240sx

April 12th, 2019

Featured in this video are Casey Rance and his Burnt Orange Nissan 240sx. Those in the street racing and No-Prep world are very familiar with Casey, but this is his first attempt at taking on the clock. Casey is quite a competitor and we can count on him to give it his all – regardless of the venue. Under the hood, this Nissan is a Chevrolet LS (Texas Speed built) with four-bolt mains. It is force-fed copious amounts of air via a massive, front-mounted turbocharger. After winning his class tonight, Casey intends to drive this 240 all the way back Read More

Ugly Duckling – 850whp Nissan 240sx – Street Hits

February 25th, 2018

Keeping it real and keeping it Nissan is what Andre Cargill (#DRETUNED) is all about. This video chronicles the building of the Ugly Duckling 240sx and gives you a chance to witness car owner (and tuning guru) Andre as he walks you through the eleven-year ordeal that has yielded this four-cylinder street monster. All the while he is blasting down the interstate (somewhere in Mexico) between exits. There is also some great dyno and dragstrip footage.   In keeping this 240 all Nissan, Andre built a 2.4-liter (KA24 DE-T) four-cylinder himself. The intake and exhaust manifolds are custom-crafted and beautifully Read More

Mongoose – 680WHP Nissan 240SX

July 6th, 2016

The featured car in this video has the uncommon ability to tear up the drag strip and stick to the curves like a mouse to a glue-trap. The owner campaigns this beauty on the local 1/4-mile one weekend and runs the heck out of the regional road course the next. This thing is scary fast with neck-snapping torque. This rear-wheel drive coupe is equipped with a 2JZ-GTE Toyota engine, a transmission from an Infiniti G35,  and a rear differential from an Infiniti Q45. It has been treated to an extensive porting and polishing job (intake manifold, exhaust headers, and cylinder Read More

Exactly the Same – Just Different – Nissan 240SXs

June 2nd, 2016

Here we have a pair of rear-wheel drive Nissan 240SX coupes that are taking a drastically different approach to the finish line. You must check out this head-to-head dig racing action as these two imports take on Mustangs and Camaros in a quest to enter the finals against one another – with one of them taking home the gold. The camo Nissan chose to go with a factory mill (of sorts). He is running a JDM Nissan SR20DET (2.0-liter) four-cylinder engine with a 68/70 turbocharger and a 5-speed manual Dog Box transmission. It has posted a best 1/4-mile ET of 8.74-seconds. The Read More

Nissan 240SX Giant Killer

December 28th, 2015

Can a dinky little import really get the jump on a big V8? Just watch this video and you can see for yourself. This little Nissan is running “No Prep” racing in the small tire class of the Outlaw division. On this night it manages to get to the finals before running into a bad Camaro with turbochargers and nitrous. He knocks off a Monte Carlo and a GTO (both with big block engines) as well as a couple of Mustangs (the last in a $500 grudge race). The “Mistress” box Nova was a little more than he could handle Read More

Toyota Powered 240SX Runs 8.09 @ 175 MPH

December 11th, 2015

To be precise, this Toyota 2JZ powered Nissan 240SX ran a 1/4-mile pass at 8.09, then ended the day with a nice relaxed drive home! I’ve gotta admire a street car that can run low E.T passes all day and then drive home at night. That racing Channel and Real Street Racing build and maintain this skillfully built concoction of Japanese get-up-and-go. We can’t wait to see this car dip lower and lower in elapsed times and higher and higher in trap speed. The TRC 240 has a built 9:1 3.0-liter 2JZ inline-six-cylinder engine with Manley internals and a Porting Read More
