I've built full race KA's and installed SR20DeT's in s13's and rps13's, but i have never given a thaught to the CA. Whats the stats. Is there any very good install sites. Do i need to order a trans with it. Know any importers? BLAH. I' sick of my KA with nitrous.

goodluck on the weekly re-builds of a fast KA, I hear you have to sacrafice a headgasket or piston at least once every 6 months to the turbo Gods in order to keep the thing going strong.

Unfortunately, it's all too real. Damn head gaskets. I'm pretty popular at autozone. :)

I'm preaty new to 240sx's, but was just checking out this forum to see my options. If I do an all motor KA (headers, pullys, cams...) will I have head gasket problems also?
