Alright so guys iam new here and couple months ago i bought my first car, and yes its a 91 240sx fastback. It was a lemon from the start. The drive home from buying it i heard the knock of death. I attempted to fix it by doing an oil change and cleaning all the carbon build up out of it with zmax. It made it worse and completely ruined the rod in cylinder 3 and i believe there is a crack in the block now. So i bought an s14 engine and i am swapping it in this weekend....any way long story short, The car looks like sh*t. It came with these huge black general lee like rims and tires (yes, hurricane rims) . I plan to obviously take them off and buy some 17" enkei or52s i think they are pretty sweet rims. But any way, the car is in need of a good paint job. Right now its red. i was thinking either get it repainted red with a black tops with the enkei rims being black or 350z blue with a black top. Any other ideas?

also to turbo the s14 engine, it has about 80k on it and its in great condition, all i need to do is get a cometic head gasket and some good head studs? ive read that you also need bigger injectors? is that true?

Yea, well i just needed some ideas. Iam going with the red with black top and black rims...so that the door panels and what not dont need to be repainted inside the car. Thats a ton of extra money.

And this little spoiler would set the style off nicely http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...orted

I have no idea where you got information saying that is all you need....You don't even need the cometic gasket or head studs, since your running stock internals something else will defiantly fail before those parts do. It's obvious you really have no clue about turbo KA so just go to the KA-T section and READ READ READ READ everything you can.
