two words- turbo.......charger, and other mods you'll probably only get around 100 horses out of a turbo, if that. exhaust, 3",3.5", 3.75" on a turbo motor. exhausts for 240sx(5zigen,apexi,hks,greddy,blitz,jic,tanabe) and it will cost you around $4,000 for the turbo kit, and the exhaust could be anywhere from $400-$1,500. Intake( i would go with a custom intake, but if you dont want to have to go through that injen,blitz,hks, k&n make good intake systems, also AEM makes a good intake too)Header, (dc sports, hotshot, jim wolf) theyb all make good headers, i would recomend the hotshot header. (only but header if you dont want to go with a turbo kit) also a cat.-converter, hks, and carsound are the only ones that i can think of who make ka high flow cat converters. cams(JWT, jim wolf,) and there are probably more that i cant think of right now. injectors. you can find them all over there arent any that i would recomend speciffically. plug wires(nology, bosch, etc) i would recomend the nology plug wires. some ngk spark plugs. some pulleys, ur makes good underdrive pulleys. some cp racing pistons. ecu. cam gears. you need alot to get the ka up to 300 ponies. fuel upgrades. and a downpipe will give you some more horses. but it aint gonna be cheap, and this isnt even including all of the transmission upgrades you'll wanna have, it ll probably cost you around $8,910+ total, and you'll proably have somewhere around 300-320h.p./performancecenter.comhttp://i-m-racing.com/http://www.projectnissan.comhttp://www. ... omModified by Ni2s4s0aSnX at 10:24 AM 6/1/2005

three letters....MSD....best ignition systems in the world....anyway...boost designs makes a turbo kit for the DE block that is like 2500-3000, cant remember off the top of my head, BRM makes great exhausts for the 240 ~$460. 3.0" would prolly be fine unless your going for big power (300+) stock block is good up to about 400hp.

http://www.boostdesigns.comfor BRM exhaust check the stick in the Gen Chat forum.
