1995 - 1998 240sx = s14 1989 -1994 240sx = s13

there are millions ways to improve performance on the car. browse around the site for a while and you'll get the idea of what to do.

INTAKE AND EXHAUST OF COURSE.....IF YOU WANT A LOT OF POWER I WOULD SPEND THE MONEY AND UPGRADE YOUR BRAKING AND SUSPENSION...THATS JUST ME THO

BUT YEA THERES TONS OF OTHER STUFF YOU CAN DO TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, BUT NOTHIN BETTER THEN A GOOD OL TURBO....IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR BUDGET IS

BUT YEA GET THE SOUND SET WITH INTAKE AND EXHAUST THEN WORK ON SUSPENSION AND BRAKES BEFORE YOU GO ADDING TOO MUCH POWER

I sell Spartan SUS 505 exhausts for the s13. zerothread?id=313207cheaper then you'll ever get anywhere. we have a few new ones left.

If its the stock motor.

you should get a t3/t04 top mount turbo.

presuming he can keep himself busy with the rest of the build.

he'll also need other parts like. Cams, Fuel Injectors, an ECU, and possibly an engine rebuild. rods pistons, bearings, valves, springs.

forget that for now. he'll get by/

lets assunme eventually he will do those things (otherwise his block will strain and get damaged from the added turbo pressure)

start with a a GARRETT. t3/t04 hybrid turbo.compressor A/R of .64 (for drifting and street driving) or .84 (for drag and higher top speed.

.64 is more fun.

there are a lot of shops that rebuild and build custom garrett turbos. contact one of them. and tell them what your application. a KA motor is a 2.4L? correct me if I am wrong. readers - with dual over head cams and 16 valves... I think. (im an Sr cat) from a 240sx, naturally.

and you should be set. start with these guys.

these are small shops that rebuild turbos. call them and talk with them over the phone. don't spend more then 450$ for a great t3 Garrett turbo.

only buy garrett. they are the standard. they made turbos for nissan for decades.

ask for ball bearings turbos - they are better and provide less friction then journal bearings... but they can be rebuilt ball bearing turbos cant.

< catching a breath >

he will need a KA top mount exhaust manifold. and a t3 dump pipe...
