the S14 silvia is the japanese model of US nissan 240sx, in japan the S14 silvia is a 2 door, RWD vehicle with a 2.0L turbocharged I4 with ~210hp, called the sr20det.
in US the S14 is a nissan 240sx with a 2.4L I4 naturally aspirated making ~155hp at the engine & about 125 at the wheels, the name is the KA24DE which is a truck engine used in the frontier.
it has independent suspension which makes it a very good drifter, specially being RWD and somewhat lightweight. btw its a good thing to have that truck engine.....the torque it makes(about 130 or so to the wheels) can be felt pretty good, even though it doesn't have so much top-end(as in the hp falls at about 5500 rpm), its nothing a turbo can't fix. the engine with stock internals can withstand about 350hp or about 16psi(with a turbo) since the internals are somwhat strong, and the connecting rods are allready forged(ya just need to shot-peen them if the engine has a lot of miles), it has been proven to stand 500rwhp on stock connecting rods.
