There is a LOT of great information here and in several other forums about the basics of turbo charging your 240sx. Look around a bit. When your ready, here are some links that might interest you.

We offer REBUILD KITS if your interested in getting your own machine work done and assembling your own motor. We also offer CRATE MOTORS if you want something PNP.

We also offer a TURBO KITS AND COMPONENTS to boost your KA.

It's either stock or high performance. AMS is the way to go. Gotten quite a few parts form them, great customer service

For 300WHP, you don't even need to rebuild it, unless its a high mileage motor. The KA can dish out 300 all day in stock trim. You'll just need a turbo kit, bigger injectors and engine management. The easiest form of engine management for you would be a JWT or Enthalpy ECU rom tune. AMS does make the best turbo kit on the market right now, but its not a full kit. They don't include the FMIC and intake piping that goes with.

For the money, you can't beat JGS Its not the best design, but it works very well and is very affordable. With their kit and a EBAY FMIC setup, you'll be golden in my opinion.

That just leaves the aformentioned enginemanagement stuff.

If you dont want to mess with tuning and widebands, a retuned ECU is the way to go. Check out Enthalpy's site. http://www.rs-enthalpy.com
