ight just email me now and i'll reply through email... its a whole lot easier that way... but to answer your question aem is prob the best you can get, i think... there's also injen, its pretty good... just dont go w/ the offbrand... exhaust... where do you live? based on c.a.r.b reg in some states you'll have to check what your states allows you to have (prolly need a hi-flow cat for street driving) my state doesn't really check so i have straight 2 1/2 in exhaust on my 240... anyways just start emailing me

Post by **Nismochick240** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 4:22 am

i'll just copy what i wrote in ur email to here

hey carb is regulations on what emissions ur ehaust puts out (trying to save the enviroment ****) im not sure about minn but i know in cali you must have a cat... well let me ask you this... did you have to get your car tested for anything by the state inorder to register your car?if not, then ur states not strict and you can throw anything on there you want to... that's why when you are ordering some parts for you car it might said carb approved or not 50 state legal... intake & exhaust is a good start... what do you want to do to your car? turbo or go non-turbo (NA- naturaly aspirated)? at some point you'll need to rebuild your motor... my suggestion by a junk 240 w/ a good motor/transmission just in case yours messes up.. you can get those for pretty damn cheep... anyways buy a engine stand (snapon.com) and start tearing your SPARE motor apart.... get to know it... 240's are simple motors... anyways turbo you'll need to buy lower compression pistons... ur stock ratio is 9:5:1 next model 240 is 10:5:1... best ratio for 15-20 lbs of boost? 8:5:1.... anyways what questions do you have that i can answer for ya?

Post by **xcrzytx-s13** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 4:30 am

WOW U NEEDA SLOW DOWN ON DAT. DATS TOO MUCH 4 ME. I DID NT HAVE TO GET TESTED FOR ANYTHANG. I THNK WE COULD PUT ANYTHANG ON OUR CARS. CUZ I SEE PEOPLE WITH LOTS OF THINGS ON DERE CAR. YEAH I WANA THROW ON A TURBO ON MY CAR. BUT IF I DO THROW ON A TURBO WAT DO I NEEDA DO 1ST? WAT DO U MEAN REBUILT MY MOTOR? SO U WANT ME TO GET A NEW MOTOR? DO I START TO TEAR UP DA MOTOR IN MY CAR NOW, OR TEAR UP DA MOTOR DAT I WILL BUY A NEW ONE? SO IF I GET A TURBO I NEEDA BUY A NEW PISTON? HMMMM I THNK I KNOE WAT A PISTON IS. SO WAT KINDA OF PISTON SHOULD I GET? AND WAT RATIO?

Post by **Nismochick240** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 4:35 am

woah you dont know a lot do you... mmm let me think... first off you have 4 pistons... v8's have 8 pistons.. get it? its hard to explain... your pistons are connected to rods... do a search on the internet about how a motor works to get more information on that... if you want to run high boost (higher the boost the more hp) youll need to rebuild ur block (the bottom part of your motor) otherwise you'll be wasting your time... there is a lot involved w/ turbo charging your motor... from the right turbo to the right intercooler to making sure you have oil lines correct... do you want to call me so we can talk... there's a lot of info i can give you and this is a lot of typing... i have a toll free number so it wont be long distance for ya

Post by **xcrzytx-s13** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 4:43 am

LETS START WITH DA MOTOR. AFTER I TAKIN EVERYTHANG APART ON DA MOTOR WAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

Post by **Nismochick240** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 4:44 am

ight cause if you want to call me now its toll free (my work #) but i get off work @ 2 day... so to call free u gotta call before 2

anyways... yeah making a car fast is not cheap... everythings pricey... go to the grocery store and buy up all the tuner mags... they'll help you out a lot... thats how i learned a lot of stuff about cars... i've only seen like 2 mags that didn't have anything in it about a 240... the best mags are import tuner and modified... also check out enjukuracing.com

do you know what a SR20 is? hint: its a motor

Post by **Nismochick240** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 4:46 am

start buying parts... pistons (w/ rings), rods, valvesprings, valve stems... all the internals you can afford... a lightweight crank would be nice but they are sooo expensive... you said you were into drag racing... weight reduction helps A LOT in a 240 for every 18 pounds you take out its like gaining 1 hp... i removed everything in the rear... seats, carpet, panels, speakers... its really easy to do and its free... lol

Post by **xcrzytx-s13** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 4:50 am

yeah i got sum magazine and i did do my research b4. yeah i knoe its aint cheap but its ok. i'll have to save up sumore. yeah i have check out enjukuracing.com but dere was only sr20 item. and yes i knoe wat a sr20 is. at 1st when i 1st got da car i wanted a sr20det-t but den later i found out da da ka could kick butt so i stick with da ka motor.

Post by **Nismochick240** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 4:52 am

yea i like the ka better than the sr... check out club240sx.org (i think thats right) they have a lot of info... what ? do you have that i can answer for ya

Post by **xcrzytx-s13** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 4:54 am

yeah ok i'll start buyin internal parts like piston wit ring. wat is a rod, valvsprings, valve stem? and wat is a crank? hmmm i do wanna drag but as for now i dunt wanna tear up da back seat yet. wow so every 18 pound i take out, dat will give me 1 horse power? wow thnx now i knoe no to add so much on to da car.

Post by **wild_maxx** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 6:05 am

you need to learn what engine internals are before you start buying them. read this article. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/engine.htm that is a basic article on what and how engine work. do lots of research on this site and any other site you can get. READ READ READ and you will learn young grasshopper. if you want to do an OEM rebuild this site is a great source. http://www.hybridka.com/ and please try to speak proper english, it makes it easier for all of us to read. good luck.

OKAY THANK MAN! AND THANK ALISHA! I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET MY 240 WITH LOTS OF HP.

Post by **fiznat** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 6:15 am

Okay, thats enough then.

Please dont use the forums as a way to chat back and forth. There are plenty of other ways to do that.

Also xcrzytx-13, please dont put thread titles or posts in all caps- its a little annoying. Also, it looks like you need to do a little more research before posting questions again. Try starting in our stickied thread that says "look here first."
