My 240sx is finally up and running! I got my SR clip about a month ago. I started to buy things here and there 6 months earlier, to prepare for my turbo. And now.. she's up and running .. here's some pics

here are my mods:

oh yea.. by the mods listed.. can anybody tell me what kind of HP I should be getting? and around what kind of 1/4 miles i should expect?

That's a sexy a$$ shot. The rims go really well with the car. congrats!

How much are you boosting? Stock boost, I'd like to say will give you around 200WHP. However, if you do read my signature, I am stupid...

Post by **MECPInstaller** » Fri Sep 03, 2004 8:40 am

doomed how many miles is on that engine and condition and such. for 250 i'm very seriously intrested. chicago's less than 6 hours from here so i could pick it up unless you really wanted to check out st louis lol. Send me an email, [email protected] . Sorry about the temporary hijack.

Probably not without a bigger turbo/intercooler, or at least higher than stock boost. Stock redtops have 205 hp at the crank, so with the mods he has it probably just maintained stock hp, maybe a few more (wear and tear on the motor can decrease it). With a stock SR I think most people run mid 14s. I wouldn't be disappointed with that... its a lot faster than the KA

If you end up running at a track or dyno though, let us know the results! You never know till you do it!

WEWT I R WINNAR!

You plan on taking your car to the track anytime soon? Just looking at your car makes me miss my car :\

Post by **AkademikONE** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 3:39 pm

yea, i'm planning on getting a boost controller soon, probably a Greddy Profec B Spec, any problems with this particular one? or is there another one that's better than that one for the price?

I also want to start working on my internals before I really bump the boost. What are the first things to upgrade internally? Pistons? Cams? Rods? etc..

lol i remember looking at your car on cardomain it was so shiny and thats why i wanted to pick black :P but not sure im really going to go black

Post by **AkademikONE** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 3:44 pm

i'm not on Cardomain.... LOL and my cars not black.. it's green

Post by **Altiman94** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 4:08 pm

cardomain sucks. I'd much rather have people post photos here. Im tired of seeing riced out rides on cardomain. It's only good for ricers who like people to see their car. I could care less if people ever see either of my cars on here. The 240 isnt stock, who cares.

Don't bother with pistons and junk until you're pushing 400 or so. I'd do cams tho, like HKS 264 intake and 272 exhaust. Maybe a port and plish. greddy intke manifold. I dunno, there are so many things you can do....Oh and definatly get a fmic here soon if you're gonna be playing with boost. Anything past 10 will be bad news.

Happy boosting

You should run a Tomei 256 / 256 combo on any SR engine pushing less than 325rwhp. The 264's really don't play a role until you have either higher RPM operation, or alot more turbo flow. Honestly 272's are just rediculous for any street car... those should be reserved for very high horsepower SR's, or an SR capable of 8000+ rpms worth of operation.

The key is to match your camshaft choice to the flow and overall boost threashold of the turbocharger itself. Running higher than required duration camshafts just makes for a sluggish engine that even when it's on boost makes little power.

On a stock turbo SR, cams, headwork, and intake manifolds are pretty much worthless. Your limiting factor in that equation is the actual turbo itself.

Looks great! Those rims looks like ADR's.

Post by **gogg** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 12:59 pm

that color rocks man.

Post by **AkademikONE** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 5:39 pm

yea, I kinda thought they were ADR's, i want some new rims with better offset, know how much these go for used? I'm thinkin $400? The tires are Nangkang and have about 70% tread left, 215/40/17

Post by **D1SR240** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 2:24 am

Those rims kinda look like Advan Model 5 wheels.

Post by **i2ice4m3** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 9:34 am

If they are ADR's, they're the Kasai's (advan model 5 knockoffs) I see em at pep boys all the time LOL

Post by **AkademikONE** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 8:26 pm

it's dark green.. but i dont really know the exact name of it

here are more pics of it, enjoy

Post by **D1SR240** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 2:19 am

nice, i've been considering getting that exhaust, would you recomend it or not? and maybe why or why not?

Post by **AkademikONE** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 9:10 am

I love the exhaust. Has a nice deep growl to it, not high and raspy, but a deep tone. I always have the silencer on since I live in Cali.. haha, laws suck over here. I would definitely recommend it. I was debating on getting this one, or the Apex'i N1, but I chose this as not too many people have it.

here's a picture from the back

Post by **D1SR240** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 9:48 am

alright thanks man, do you notice a decrease in performance when you put the silencer on, or is it so minimal you don't notice it?

She's up and running!
