hmm from my calculations i say no you will lose to everything. thats a pretty bad question. what do you have done to your car? is your motor built or just a low boost setup. give us some details on your setup and that will help us guess.

my motor has 135,XXX i plan on getting it rebuilt in feb/march/april. I bought a turbo kit for my 240sx. This is what i bought on ebay

"Up for auction is a used turbo kit off of my 89 240sx SOHC (ka24E). If your looking for a kit that spools hard and fast then this is what you are looking at. This kit has a T3 oil cooled ball bearing turbo, external wastegate with 6 and 8lb springs, Aluminum 2.5" piping all cut to fit any s13 style 240sx (89-94) with hand welded removable BOV (rediculously loud!!!!) And all the couplers that you would need. And the massive 31" by 12" polished aluminum intercooler!!!!! It also includes a 8:1 Fuel Managment Unit (FMU). Turbo has the function 7 inlet/outlets, and has minimal shaft play if any at all. Comes with the downpipe and wastegate tube that i was using, but they need some welding finished because we ran out of argon. It also includes the Sohc manifold that i made. It might need a new thicker falnge welded on, but thats about it.

This kit can also be used on a dohc 240sx with a different manifold.

XS T3 ball bearing turbo

Wastegate w/6 and 8lb springs

BOV and all the aluminum piping custom fit for the 89-94 240sx w massive intercooler

8:1 FMU, downpipe, wastegate tube, turbo fittings, and misc. hoses and tubes, etc."

So i will ill still lose to everything...

you won't loose to everything, but your car will only get to low 14s high 13s. and that's at max with that turbo. And the manifold will give you issues if you boost in the double digits. You'll still run fast though. And like someone here has said "Domestics are like tampons, every pu**y has one" HE-he
