I have more than 3000 dollars saved up and its all going towards my 1995 Nissan 240sx se with a stock KA24DE.
I was wondering what you guys recommend as in parts/accessories starting from the radiator all the way to the exhaust tip? But I have NO intentions of putting on a turbo.
I just need like some sort of list!!! Please and thank you guys
I also want to what modifications I/or a shop would have to make for certain parts.
I currently live in WA where the highest octane I think is 92.

what condition is the engine in to start with? You might start with a refresh, add some cams, and an ECU tune. Intake, better flowing exhaust, etc.

Well I start with upgrading your cooling system I got the Isis rad with there dual fan shroud with an nismo thermostat , silicone hoses and I've been running it for six months in this hot FL heat works perfectly fine as headers I won't waste the money on the dc sports ones or pace setters bc I got some knock off ones and there just as good I've compared them with my buddy's that has them same feel and power range as mine. Plus since I have no emissions in FL I went catless with and N1 exhaust also make sure u wrap the headers before u install them makes life easier there a kit from summit racing for fifty bucks that will give u plenty of wrap spray n steel ties then intake is ur choice and definetly a set of cams as well ur choice and I would go with an JWT ecu upgrade as well that's what I'm saving for next

Hope this helps
