Saddly I saw the first puff of blue smoke come out of my beloved 240sx today :(

Good news is that now I can rebuild her...which is the first step towards going turbo. :ylsuper

On to my question. It's a 1990 SOHC and I'm sticking with it. My goal when I'm done is 350-400 hp. So, what I'm asking is, what do I need to do to the engine to get her ready? I've been to the forums and checked out the sites (even Carlos's), but I'm having a hard time putting it all together.

You don't have to go into detail about upgrading the fuel pump or what turbo to buy (although thoughts and opinions are ALWAYs welcome). What I do need are things like when upgrading the pistons should I stay with the same ratio, what rods should I use, cams, injectors, when I'm having the block ported and polished do I need any other machine work done...and so on.

Thanks for the help everyone! :rockon
