Someone help me please
I have a 240sx with a rebuilt motor in now and it has 70,000 miles on the motor. I was waiting to save up enough money to buy a SR20DET to do the swap. Money issues is killing me though. I ran across this guy that would sale me a Garrett T3 (rebuilt), side mount intercooler, boost controller, and turbo manifold for the ka24de motor. He said he would give it all to me for 500 bucks. This sounds like a good deal. Would it be ok to throw that on the motor without any internals? I wouldnt run that high of boost so I figured it wouldnt be that bad.
Plenty of guys on these and other forums run KA-T's on completely stock internals.
Just check further down the screen, and you'll see that Ivan just broke the 400hp/tq mark on a stock engine.
As long as you can avoid detonation, you shouldn't have a problem (unless you miss a shift and rev that mofo to 10,000 rpm...like an F1 car, but with more parts scattered on the road behind you).
You will most likely want to address your fuel management. An FMU, higher capacity fuel pump, a JWT ECU, bigger injectors, etc....there are plenty of alternatives depending on how much power you want. Do some searching on fuel systems, and you'll see what other guys are running.
Exactly what kind of turbo is this guy selling you and how long since the rebuilt? Also, what kind of manifold?
If the turbo is in good shape and the manifold is decent, that alone would be worth $500, IMO.

Its been rebuilt like maybe 1-2 months ago. It looks really good, the stamp is even on it still. Its a Garrett T3 turbo, im not sure of the A/R size yet. I will find all that out tomorrow. The manifold is for a KA turbo, it looked to be in good shape also. The manifold is brand new. So does that sound pretty good?
