If you just got a stock 240, you've got alot more to worry about before you need to be thinking about adding power.

But to answer your question about turboing a KA, go here: zeroforum/170

If that's your post then the answer is get an ebay kit, and asks us questions when it almost works.

Here is proper english...

Hello, I am new here and I have recently purchased my first 240SX and I am 100% clueless when it comes to cars. I want to turbo my 240SX but I have no idea what to do. I have gotten some strange feedback from my friends about installing a turbo on my 240SX. The engine is freshly rebuilt so the engine I know is in good condition. Where would be a good place to start.

My reply...

Hello, welcome to NICO. Look in the KA-T section and read all the stickies until you are educated with the car, engine and turbo setups. Good luck.

I would think you would have other things to worry about than slap a turbo on it.

1st car...? I say learn how to drive it, maintain it, fix what's going to need fixing, and then suspension/wheels.

Yea, before you get a turbo your going to have to upgrade your suspension and brakes to handle that extra power. While your doing that just read a lot of information. Most of it can be found in the KA-T section. Just search and travel to other sites you come across during your information expedition. Good luck to you.

Lol, its just really sad when you're 18 and have the grammar/spelling and basic comprehensive skills of a 3rd grader. It really makes me wonder if you should just drop the 14mm wrench and pick up some time with a tutor or something. Seriously... priorities these days.
