yep.Im into Euro cars.Had an Audi S4 and totalled fo being ignorant racing.Two jobs at a time,needed a car soon and my neihboord was selling his 240.End up buying it from him...two weeks and 1/2 KA mess up on me.Neighboor moved to N.Y and changed his cell # (epic isn't it)

Was told that blacktop n redtop is the same crap,so ended up getting redtop cuz either way if engine messes up I'll fix it with better parts,same thing I'll had done with blacktop...other than that If I had money back then, I will had put a Supra engine on it.

Yep... Im guessing I should have put a better engine on it.People make mistakes...like I did by crashing my 475hp Audi S4 for being a dumbass,screw up my knee,my hip, get a reckless driving record, and can't afford insurance for like 5-7yrs. Come on, lets cry with me lol.

It depends on the kit you buy. That is why there is no right answer.

But starting with a S13 kit will be your best bet. You will need a few custom length hoses to make the kit fit. Other than that, it is like installing any other FMIC kit.
