the 240sx i just got for really cheap has the stock motor and at heavy throttle it sputters, im guessing its a fuel problem, advice needed....

p.s. would it be stupid to return the motor to good running condition and boost it? if not i want to swap it anyways.....

thanks for any help

First off, just telling us that it sputters doesnt help. Test your injectors and spark, tell us if its overheating and/or running rich/lean. Do you see any colored smoke under open throttle?

And also, dont bother spending too much money on that motor. its most likely a single cam piece of junk. If you need to spend money, just correct any problems with it and make it run properly.

And dont boost it.
