Hey guys I have a 240sx 92 coupe with a 93 ka in it. Has good compression accross the board and have an oil filter relocation kit. I have an rb20 that I'm building to drop into my car but for now I was thinking about stealing the turbo and 4 of the injectors from it and putting it on my ka since I already have an apexi safc neo II, intercooler core, and a greddy type rz bov. But my valve guide seals are going bad so I was gunna get new ones and do arp head studs while I'm at it but keep the stock head gasket for safety reasons. Also have the lines to run from the oil filter relocation to the turbo. Open to options anything will help thanks in advanced

still need to return the oil to the pan.

an rb turbo will work but its on the small side and very fragile with the ceramic wheel and all, they dont like being clocked after 80k miles. I thought the rb20 used top feed injectors? Requiring a new injector rail as well as the turbo manifold and downpipe.... finish the rb man

It's always been my experience that when you open a can of worms with another 1 already open you end up with worms running rampant and nothing finished. Just my .02, +1 for finishing the RB

Agreed. Finish the RB, or sell it and go balls deep KA-T.
