I can't make up my mind....CA, SR, KA....:confused: I was wondering which would be the best for drift style, but that had some power... i was thinkin KA cuz of the torque.... But it would take lots to get it to about 300 hp... and The SR and CA but would the turbo even get any use because of the time it takes to spool???

Well Drift Guys here is your time to shine... give me what u got.

P.S. But i still wanna be able to put down some descent vehicles in the straightaways

it depends entirely upon your style of driving. The KA has low end torque, the CA has a high end redline, and the SR is all around performance oriented.

Well.. if i was going to try for 500 hp out of a CA... would my turbo be soo big that i would be in a turn b4 it finished spoolin?And what would the high rev do for me in drifting? I am not an experienced anything w/cars so all knowledge is appreciated.. Thanks again Daunttless for the quick responses.

And feel free to slap me in the face when i need it :D

heh, you don't NEED to go to 500 horsepower just to make a CA18 fun. : )

Also, it truly depends entirely on your style, and style isn't something that can be explained easily...

Your right... you can't explain style....and as of now, i don't really have any specific style. So for now the plan will stay.... wait til the KA dies...(3 years CRY) then put in a CA. But hopefully i'll have the money saved up by then :D Thanks again Daunttless

engine doesn't matter a lot for drifting a 240, a stock KA will work just fine....it'd be best to go with something nice and cheap that you don't mind blowing up until you get the hang of things.
