yeah i would like to but i would also like to know how much it would cost me for parts to boost it without the turbo...so all you KAT guys let me know how much your build cost you without the turbo cost...i just want to run like stock boost at 8psi with it anyways so let me know for what all is required for a KA to become a KAT rawr!!!

i was looking for kits for mine last night and found a few for your engine at enjuku's website. not to mention the classifieds here. even if you buy a junk turbo to start you can go to a fuel injection shop for diesel shop and get it rebuilt for dirt. cheap. i have a couple turbos from holset. but the equivilant to a garret gt42

I like when people do budget builds like this, it shows the average 240sx owner a lot of examples and information on how to do things. Good job dude she is coming along nicely, and to the people bashing, go f*** your 50,000 dollar nissan, f*****s.

No hate, just a lot of misunderstanding from both sides but f*** it, we're both grown a** men now. That s***'s in the past.

I'll check it out but first I gotta buy a car to be able to drive anywhere.

So you bought a new one and still have the old one? I got three 240s I'm interested in now but none of those mofos returned my e-mails yet.

I would do that but if I had more time to devote to building a nice car, I just need a running car for now and maybe later on do something like that.

Oh, I saw that before. There's one with a Honda engine in it too, crazy s*** they do in Japan. lol There's also a guy on http://www.bimmerforums.com with a 2JZ in his. Find me a nice running 240 if you can, I might be able to check out that guy's cars soon.
