if this is findable in the search someone politely let me know but i want to know if it would better to turbo a ka24e in my 90 after i build it up and make it new again or import the sr20. as far as price goes is my main concern. i know the ka is a buff truck engine but the sr swap is also getting less rare. so what do you guys say ? fo 4g's can i have like 250+ hp i a daily driven 240? thanks for your help

LOL 4g's yeah right. even if the sr is getting highly publicized, it's still is a great engine...toooo haaaave! that or the ca18. check out the 240sx.org site and go into faq. somebody allready done it, but IMO i would go with the ca18 only b/c (I THINK) you still keep your power steering correct me if im wrong.

I think thats possible if you do the swap yourself with the sr. You have to consider miles as far as the ka is concerned. Or you can get a newer ka and then do alot of boltons. I dont think 250 for 4 gs is out of the realm of possibilitys. And yes it has been discussed many times in the past. Definately search.
