Hello,Basically I am looking for anyone local (or not) that wants to help a fellow 240 owner with a rebuild and swap. This will be a timed build as I only have six weeks left until my second car is gone. So, if there is anyone who would like to help please contact [email protected]

no thats cool, maybe we could help each other out. When are you planning to do the work. I would be more than willing to lend a hand. I don't have much experience with KA's but I have done a few chevy swaps. Anyway send me an email. [email protected] people have emailed me, I will see if they wouldnt mind helping you out too.

hey man, just wondering how long you think it would take to do a turbo install with a bunch of people. i dont have much experience i know that, i can probably get some basics done as long as i am told the exact directions... but here's what would have to be done.

im getting my new radiator installed enjuku soon with new fans, so i'll probably ask them to mount my intercooler just so that i dont have to, since i dont have a huge lift as they do. -intercooler piping, i have bends, i have all different pieces. i bought it from a shop in CT and brought it all down. just needs to be mapped out and cut to size. i figured we can do cuplers and clamps for now until i get it to the muffler shop for the downpipe, in which case i can have them do the welds on the piping at the same time. -manifold, turbo, wastegate, blow off valve, you think im nuts, but i seriously have no idea where and how any of this mounts. well i mean, i do, but not the most knowledge to do it myself. -oil lines, they confuse me. i haven't even bought them yet... -enthalpy e-rom, it's just plug in and go so i can do this myself for sure, but not until everything else is completed.

whatcha think florida240sx?

ps: to lunchbox, i'll contribute the most i could to your swap, but just letting you know my knowledge is limited, but i'll help if i dont have class.

Chrislis, I dont care what your knowledge level is, if I know how to do it all myself I would. You probably know more that I do.

Florida,I will be trying to do the engine internals myself. Once I get that done I will be looking to get the swap.Also, where did you get your gasket set. I have been looking for some but I am undecided.
