a nissan 240sx... i personally would rather have an sr20 thats more stout, but yes it is capable, but you might want to build it with forged interanls, then turbo for the power you will need...

Cool

The KA motor is pretty good, go with the forged internals, racing cams, big ass turbo, boost it to the nines, and thrash the pants of some tyres. BTW, into what do you wanna put the motor? Hopefully something light thats RWD already.

Dont waste money on this motor on internals its a good starter if your just getting in to drift as for beefing this motor....just keep it stock put a good stage 1 or 2 clutch and suspention and weld you diff and enjoy...also this motor comes from a nissan 240sx 89-early 91 and is in most Nissan hardbodys. It is a good motor but dont sink too much money into it unless you just want blow 1000 or 2 to get into the 13's

Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motor sport where the driver intentionally skids the rear tires through turns, preserving vehicle control and a high exit speed. A car is said to be drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle prior to the corner apex, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa), and the driver is controlling these factors. As a motor sport, professional drifting competitions are held across the World.
