[smokin240]

What would you guys say to someone who really really wanted to turbo there middle generation (93) 240sx but had no idea where to start, because they didn't know anything about how to turbo there car, especially when they dont make turbo kits for middle generation?

Uhh,...I believe I am in the same boat...SOMEONE HELP THE LOST ONES..PLZZZ :help

[vuse1]

get familiar with how a turbo works ( http://www.howstuffworks.com). search for what is needed for a complete turbo kit, then consult other ppl who have turbo KA's

[smokin240]

thats what im doing now... I know how a turbo itself works but also in order to install one, you need to know more than just a turbo. What I want to know is what the other 15+ parts thats needed are used for.

I haven't heard much about Nsport lately, but they did build a kit based off the Rev-hard manifold for the S13. They brought a 240 with the system installed on an S13 to the 2002 240 Convention. You may want to give them a call and inquire about it.

Read "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell. The best resource for turbocharging. Although, if you have no knowledge at all, you're much better off buying a kit. Yes, you can find them for S13's if you look around a bit. I built my own turbo kit, and let me tell you, it's not for the inexperienced. There is a lot of fabricating, welding, and "creative" engineering involved. Check out my website for a list of everything I used, and pics of the process.

I do have some knowledge on it a bit, more than I started out with because atleast now I know where to start, but it will still be a few months before I start ordering parts. Vuse1 I put you on my buddy list. thanks all for the help

I was going to say this, but now I'm just gonna reitterate(sp?) that.

Go buy Maximum Boost immediately. I read it 5 times (front to back) in the first 2 days I got it. And I still read it with regularity.There are also some other books that are just as good, I just can't remember them. Run a search on Amazon or on here for more books

Look for the book "Forced Induction Performance Tuning" as well. It covers some of the grey areas thay "Maximum Boost" leave out.
