welcome to the boards.

people will probably flame you for wanting to build a silvia but dont listen to them.

The two biggest things you need to make a silvia are the motor (sr20det or ca18det) and the front headlight conversion. i wouldnt worry about anything else until you get those two things done.

Honestly, I'm not trying to me mean or anything but start here:

read all the info you can... do your homework and then once you have what you need there, ask away for more help.

I swear that was not meant in a harsh way.. I am just being very honest and pointing you in the right direction.

have a great day and Welcome to the family!

I'm a 240 noob as well. I have been searching and reading stickies for 2 days straight getting all info I can. I'm not new to turbos or turbo motors in any way just to the specifics of a turbo 240

I was searching through the board here for about a month before I actually posted, lol. Search is your friend, and if people give you crap about asking questions just ignore them. Chances are someone else has the same question, but then again chances are that someone else already had that same question and it was answered, so SEARCH :D
