For $500, I'd go for N20.You can't beat the hp gains w/ the bottle...

Hmmm, you could sell the body kit and rims...then have enough to maybe piece together a really cheap turbo kit for the KA...Sorry man, I just had to say it :D

no way!!! you need more power!!! if its anywhere as slow as mine w/ 180k on it I feel your pain!I think I'm going with a bottle once I get my SR to finish off my ka's long hard life before its rebuild :)

A header will open you up a bit in the high end but it wont make you much faster, if not barley at all...I suggest the bottle too...If not I can sell you a ca18det for 500.....But you would need the wiring and ecu and i know thats a b**** to get so I wouldn't bother...

if you arent a fan of N20.. why not look into C02? They are starting to make some interesting Cryo kits.. you wont see the HP gains of n20, but icey cold intake air and cooled fuel are definatly safe.

N20 is the best bang for the buck right now. However, on a 240sx, I would never even think about it.

Why is that? Toss in some forged pistons and headbolts and you've got enormous potential aslong as you're tuned correctly, just like Turbo KAs.
