Put your money in the bank. Wait, then look for parts for your car, when you find all the parts buy them at once including the turbo kit and with the interests that you get, head over to Mcd's or you can always throw a house party with that money and get some with the ladies ; )

deffinitly swap to 5-speed if you are concidering it. When you do that throw in a nice clutch. Get body work and decent paint job. Replace what you need to replace. Drive the car to see if you like it. I'm sure you can always make you make your monwy back at this point. Then decide from there on. Also what condition is the engine in.

the engine is ok I guess the compression test is like 170, 160, 155,150. what do i need to swap to 5 speed ? do i need to swap the differential too ? and should I turbo it ??? also I just would like to know if I turbo it will it run or have advantage then sr20 ???

if youre on a budget ($5K is a good budget), go with KA-T. Those compression numbers dont look great, but I'm sure someone can tell you what could be the cause. You can always find a used KA with 5spd transmission for $3-500.For the 5spd swap, it would be best to find access to someone's parts car. YOu need/want pedals, clutch master and slave cylinders, some flywheel components, and a few other thing I cant remember. Theres a sticky about auto to manual swap.

ahhh, theres a parts list and instructions on 240sx.org...http://www.240sx.org/links/ins...p.htm

Depends on how much power are you looking for…

I would spend 2 grand on a basic turbo kit…a search on the KA-T forum will reveal more information then you ever wanted to know

and 1500 on suspension
