If you use the big flashing Search button above, and a few key words, you'll have a good idea of where to go.

For a good rebuild kit visit one of the sponsors, AMS.

For a good manifold at a good price, JGS.

For everything else, search our sponsors to you right ---->

Good luck and welcome to NICO!

What's your power goal?Might be better for you to just buy a swapped out ka. I have a kit I'm selling but sale is pending. Othe rkit I pieced out for someone ran up to 1900 only thing missing was clutch and tuning device.

Mmmm, 60-1

That's a 'big'er turbo... You'll blow that stock engine to hell if you're only gonna spend 500$ or so on the whole build...

I pieced my kit together, but I wish I got a kit cuz it wouldn't have taken so much time to get parts to fit correctly

I bought my 240 a little over 2 years ago, and it's STILL not turbo'd. It took alot of reading to get me where I am now, and even though I wanted someone to hand me a grocery list of stuff to buy, it wasn't what I needed. You're still not gonna know what the hell you're doing unless you know what EVERY single part does... Hope this helps.
