ls1/ 1990 240sx engine swap

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

Turbo is the way to go IMO.

Get the motor in and running first...then decide. Supercharger will be easier, turbo will make more power. Either will be ridiculous.

well be ready to ofrk out, i don't know our budget but plan on putting about 8-10k into the motor full running in the car, so i'd also say, get it in and ready to run at least, then look at a turbo or supercharger.

note with turbo you maybe able to squeeze that in, with the supercharger, you will have to cut your hood for clearance. and get a cowl hood.

you can get plenty of horse just na, it's NOT a 4 cyl. remember that. minor bolt on's and your at 500+.

what type of driving are you doing? drift, don't bother, drag, then you know.....
