Okay, so i am fairly new to the world of 240's :crazy:
I have a 1990 240sx hatch with a ka24 factory engine in it (blown.... bought it this way)
and i bought an sr20det black top (came with engine, turbo, 5spd transmission, ecu, wiring harness)
I want to drop this engine into my car, is there anything more i need to make this possible?
and also is there anything that isn't needed but recomended to change while in the process?

I'll thank you in advance for any information and help you can give me
and forgive me for my ignorance on the topic.

Turbo gaskets and heater and bypass hoses. Highly recommend.

I mean, you will need the regular stuff, dohc power steering lines, fmic and piping, bov, sr trans, etc etc. but no, you don't need any special mounts or anything. There are plenty.of wright ups on here with plenty of detail. Id search and read a couple ”how to's”. There is a lot of info already on here.
