Hi all. I just bought a manual 1997 240sx SE. I need some help in doing what I want to do with the car. I know that I want roughly 400 hp with a turbocharger. I need to know what parts I would need to make this car achieve that, with fairy bullit proof performance. I'm talking details here people. Please don't just tell me that I need a turbo kit, or a manifold. Give me the COMPLETE list of things to make this happen. Kudos to the person that can give me THE MOST details. If you've got a car that sounds like what I'm looking for, feel free to let me in on your setup. Details, details, details. Haha, now I know there is more than one way to gain hp, so I'm looking for a setup that would give me solid, consistant, and reliable, daily driving performance.

(Just out of curiosity, ROUGHLY what kind of 0-60 could I expect from a car like this with 400 hp?)

Thanks Guys

Well, first head over to KA-T.org. Also search. I'm feeling nice, so:

Forged pistons, h-beam rods, new cams retainers and springs might as well do valves, new clutch, a good rear differential, Yes a turbo kit, yes a manifold, new headgasket, arp head rod main and exhaust studs, I'd suggest a holset turbo, a rebuild, new oil pump, new water pump, drain lines turbo feed lines, sandwich plate, oil restrictor, external wastegate, electronic boost controller, Engine management including timing control, wideband, quality guages, injectors over 550cc's, dyno tune, a better suspension, new mounts, a bigger MAF, new timing set, the stock transmission wont hold for long, probably a better driveshaft, Lots of other little crap ,Lots of time and money, and RESEARCH. Have fun.

I've left out a lot actually but meh, you can search for that. You know..... good practice

if you dont know how to make a 400hp, you shouldn't have one, go read and learn then buy the parts and build it and tada then u can drive a 400hp unless ur fifteen which you probably are

Firstly, there's no need for you to be a c***. I'm 19, and just because I'm asking a question doesn't mean I know nothing about the subject. It sounds to me like you may be older, but you have the personality of an 8 year old. I know there are people that know more about cars than me, and that's why I asked. Just because I asked for the parts doesn't mean I don't know anything about the subject. You make it sound like I have to be worthy to have 400 horsepower. Look at all the cars out there where the people buy them that way and have no clue what goes into them. Anyway, stop being a dip****. If you didn't like the question, then don't reply. I didn't ask how many douche bags were out there, but you seemed to reply anway.
