Hi, everyone i have an 240sx 95 and i was thinking of putting a turbo kit!! i see on ebay and the turbo kits had all only to plug and play, and is cheap cause here @Guatemala city we dont have a lot of parts of sr20det or ka24det so what do you think of this turbo kits??? benefits?? bads???... i know there are low quality but had all and i only want for street not to much power but for race with sr20det stock internals both.... i heard that the maniful is going to broke but i want for daily car not for race....ok (sometimes :ohno: ) all is gonna broke??? :gotme
The advantage I see is that it includes everything and some stuff here is gonna work
how much time worked?
THANKS!! for your answers!! all info is good :yesnod

That looks like china made stuff. Personally i wouldn't buy either of them. Just piece together your own...

My friend turbo'd his KA with a CX racing kit (t3/t4 kit). No tune, no anything. He simply bolted it up and made a drain for the oil. It's been a year now and its still running, he even drifts it. The only issue he has had was the wastegate flange broke off the manifold at an event.


I don't recommend those kits but they work out sometimes.

China stuff has bad quality. If you buy that expect fot the turbo,bov,and wastegate to break. But the intercooler will work and you can use the pipeing but you might to have to customize them to work (cut and weld). The cuplers might rip and the manifold could crack at the wleds, so put down some good welds and it should be ok. And I would recomend geting a tune to make it 100% safe

Sooo... you recomend me to buy the things separately??? or what?? the thing is that because i will have to pay a lot of shipping and to search the parts... :ohno:

Yeah, I wouldnt buy the non mechanical stuff and search for legit parts. How much psi do you want? If you want low numbers you can get a stock t25 and use that
