Go to HomeDepot and Buy A Gas Powered Leaf Blower, Duck Tap and Some Rope.

Attach the leaf blower to your intake using the duct tape. Then attack the Leaf blower throttle to your car's throttle via rope or string. Then just turn on the car and leaf blower and your turboed. hahaha

The truth of the matter is yah need around 2g to do everything right -Turbo-Fuel Pump-Engine Management-Fuel Injectors-Header and complete new exhaust preferably 4ich -Msd Ignition-Intercooler and Piping + Blow off Valve -New Mass Air Flow Sensor or a 300-Dyno time to tune the motor-Boost Gauge and a boost controller

I got a Ka24det Runs at 15 psi and 350rwhp Been running for about a year now and no problems with it. Just make sure its tune is good and yah will be fine. Hope that solves your problems.

If i missed anything add on guys. Thanks

You Stupid? your KA has no turbo = no PSI/ BOOST. Your Ka is a natural aspirated engine so when the piston goes down it sucks in air. like a vacumcleaner. A Boosted motor via Turbo or Blower pushes air into your engine like when ya pump air into your tires. That Pushing force is measured in PSI "pound per square inch". Now if yah want to know how many Miles Or Km to change your head gasket on it's around 150miles to 200km depending on how much you care for your car. Now Plz go to http://www.google.com and find out info on Engine mechanics/ Turbos and anything yah need to know before yah make stupid posts.

YOUR CAR ISNT TURBOED??? YET you say you are running 5 pounds of boost. Dude make up your mind. You DON'T have a KA-T you have a KA WHICH IS NOT TURBOED so NO BOOST!!!! By the way, psi ISN'T JUST for "turboad" cars... lol "turboad" use spell check dude.

You shouldn't turbo your KA until you learn elementary engine workings. You probably won't succeed if you don't and if you do you'll blow the engineon first startup. You really need to learn a lot.

Oh "my bad". Yeah you don't need to change any parts in the motor really, at least not important ones. You will HOWEVER need to pull out your pistons and replace then with re-enforced plastic ones. Doing that you should be able to do about 27-30psi of boost no problem.

i am trying hard to resist the temptation to flame this noob because i myself am a noob to the 240sx but i at least know the right questions to ask and i know how to word certain things but i am by all means not a genuis. now i am assuming that this kid is not very familiar with cars and how to make power and wants to just put a huge turbo on the car and go have fun...if it was only that easy. now there was a time in my life where i had a 1997 nissan pickup and it was getting up there in mileage and due to my intense imagination and tinkering i managed to "rig" a centrifigal supercharger to the poor little ka motor and went hunting...it didnt last long and i wish i could find the picks because it wasnt pretty but it was fuuuuun!...soon after i just went ahead and did it right and tossed in a blacktop and that lasted 3 years until the transmission decided to expose its insides at 5 grand down the 1/4 mile.i thought i was done with my "import" ways but i have this 240 coupe now...but this kid should do what im gonna do and save up the dough and drop in an sr20det swap and worry no more...now i am trying to resist but ive had a magnificent day so what the hell...lubricate the piston return springs,top off the synthetic blinker fluid,and duct tape a 2x4 to your decklid and youll run 9's and remember that stage 5 turbo costs 80,000 credits and be sure add the spiffy rims for an additional 500 credits

Gotta love Gran Turismo!!! LOL!!! You did forget one thing... STICKERS!!!! They give you like 5hp per sticker!!!! Stickers are like 30cents a piece... so 100 stickers = 500hp = $30 > Turbo

We pushed about 30PSI on the stock bottom end of my car but, that was on a KA w/ 2,000,000 miles on it. So anything under 1,500,000 should be good for about 50lbs and anything under that is good for about 100. Luckily the internals in a stock KA are made of beta-carbon nitride (?-C3N4) so they are teh poo on high boost.

lol this is funny.. dude do some research!!

8 psi would be safe at most on stock i'd say. but that depends on how well the motor is
