I doubt it. They have been working on it a while now, but I can’t see it being a popular swap ---

there are much better swap options for us. newer nissan motors are a much better choice than this. ---

I like it. I don’t think it’ll catch on like the V8’s though. ---

the unique thing is cool and all, and a honda powered 240 would be also cool, but the money:result ratio really sucks on this one… ---

if you are going to boost right off the bat you can use a K24a1 they can be had for $3-600 nice and torquey the only reason i came across this is because I’m in the planning stages of putting one in my car and i have 2 k20’s that i bought for a combined total of $250 (blown k20a2 and a good k20a3) and the whole debate of a s2k motor vs the k20/4 is blah im building mine for circuit i don’t plan on boosting it ill do a k24 with pistons and cams and make my 280whp all day n/a there are k’s out there making 500+whp boosted on a 100% stock motor you 240 guys are lucky there are a ton of motors and kits out there for your chassis’ so i can understand why you wouldn’t bother but it is pretty cool and once you’re past the initial cost of it there are so many things that can be done to the motor and the support is just mind blowing (coming from a rotary guy) ugh maybe i should just buy a 240 and sell the fc lol ---
