okay guys i just bought a 84 200sx w/ the ca18det in it to accompany my 240w/ stock ka..i was just wandering what kind of mods every1 has, how much you threw down on the track and/or dyno, and how much it cost if you remember..also if anyone else on here has a 200 w/ a ca and not a 240 w/ a ca...oh and what were the first mods or best(most noticeably perf. gains)mods youve got..keep in mind, starting w/ a stock ca

edit** also how many mi. on your motor

exhaust, ,Down Pipe, Outlet flange (if space allows,) better intercooler, boost controler.

the basics go a long way on any turbo motor...

Very similar to SR. There's a sticky in the SR forum that talks about power output. Better intercooler, more boost, bigger exhaust from turbo-back, and intake will get around 200 whp w/ the stock turbo. With an SR T25 you're looking at about 230-240 max whp. After that you need bigger injectors and a new mafs.
