Well theres always the simple bolt on parts like a cold air intake, header and exhost. And you can get some performance plug wires. Or you can always slap on a turbo. It all depends on how serious you want to get with your engine

well, there's not a lot that can be done as far as boltons to get a good "all motor 240sx". the motors are low compression which ACHE for getting a turbo. however, spend a few hundred dollars on a set of cams, a good cold air intake, aftermarket exhaust manifold and a good free-flowing exhaust.

that's about it.

You took the first step and joined NICO. There are only a couple thousand options for upgrading our cars. Hang out here a little while, you'll be surprised how many questions get answered by just browsing. Be patient

Maybe some of them are faster, but really does it matter?! You could have 10x more fun with your stock RWD.
