hey, im new to this forum. i currently have a truck, but im hoping to get a 240sx in the near future. i would like to get a 93 SE fastback, 5spd. i was wondering...1) how much power can you get out of a N/A KA motor? (without major engine/head work)2) whats the 0-60 time for a stock one?3) how much does one go for?and finally4) whats the top speed?

sorry bout all the stupid questions, im just tired of being smoked in my truck, and i want to deal out some sweet retribution to all those civics and such.

Heh...funny. Another person anxious to get rid of a ranger in favor of a Nissan. Welcome to my world. Just a warning, no one seems to want to buy rangers right now, wo have as much fun selling yours as I have selling mine

If you want some decent amt of power from a KA turbo is the way to go... Even with a nice NA setup... you would go high 14

Stock KAs are not fast...

I think he asked for 0-60 mph time, not quarter mile. Our cars are a lot faster than 16 seconds to 60 mph Here are a few typical times for stock vehicles. The first number is 0-60 mph time, the second is quarter mile time.

BTW: If you disable the speed limiter I think the top speed is actually somewhere around 130, maybe a little higher

thank you, everyone. im not trying to sell my ranger, ill prolly turn it into my DD, even though it gets worse mileage (13-15 mpg). ive done too much to that truck to let it go, but i want to learn stick and i want to pwn civics.

haha 150 hp is fast for me, im used to my 100hp ranger. (eh...110 after the intake, exhaust, transmission upgrade ) as you might tell, im a tuner kinda guy, so im also looking for something that has plenty of aftermarket opportunity. what kinda gains do you see from intake/exhaust/header/ecu/etcetera?
