first of all, there is no USDM turbo 240sx. The T25 turbo was located on the S13 & s14 SR20's. The SR20DET being the JDM motor that came in the 240sx in JAPaN. When the 240sx was imported to america, it was given a KA24DE. The same motor out of the Nissan Truck.

oh yea and the 240sx was called a SILVIA in Japan. The early hatchback 240sx= 180sx
