I currently have a KA-T onevia with the blown-motor mod. I bought the car with the KA-T, but as time has passed, my needs/wants have changed and I want to bring the car back to NA.

I want a daily driver. I no longer want to worry about aftermarket turbos and all that bizness. I want my windshield wiper fluid back, and I want A/C back. I need to be able to get in the car and it starts up every time. Stock reliability.

My question is. What parts do I need to go back to stock? And what can I keep?

Setup as it sits:- Blown KA24DE- T3/T04E- TIAL 38mm Wastegate- CX Racing FMIC- Z32 MAF- HKS SSQV- SSAC Turbo Manifold- SR20DET Downpipe- EFormance ECU Tune- 560cc JECS Injectors- MSD Blaster 2

I have another KA waiting to be dropped in.

Please, no posts about me keeping KA-T, I've made up my mind. All the uneeded parts will be for sale when the car is up and running.

I think you'd be better off trading someone that wants to turbo. I'd pay something reasonable for the set up, and ensure any parts needed for the N/A switch in trade, but I don't have A/C either. I doubt I'm the only one that would offer to pay/trade. Although, I am in IL.

However, keep in mind that vehicle wise, you'd end up with a stock ecu, maf, injectors, etc, which it seems you may want anyways.

its cheeper to buy a new ride man..or just trade strait with someone..buying all that crap to put back into your ride would cost a fortune..more than a new used (Automatic) 240sx..if your looking for a reliable car thou..try a geo metro as a 240 is a sports car and not for everyone..good luck.

Hit me up with an offer. [email protected]

All I really need for the swap is the ECU and Exhaust Manifold (but I might just go aftermarket header). And all I'd keep from my setup is the MSD Blaster 2.

Let me know.
