Whats the specs on the RB20det and the RB20det turbo? If anyone out there knows and tell me that would be a good help. Want to put a turbo on my 240sx, so I was wonder if of the two turbo which one is better or should I buy a new turbo.

Also, I heard that you can put the rb20det motor on the ka24de transmission, if that is possible the reverse can be true to right, like put the ka24de motor on the rb20det transmission?

i think the rb and ka have different bellhousings so you would need a whole font case from an rb20 transmission.

the turbo has ceramic turbine wheel (i think) this would make it a poor choice for an upgrade.

Ok I see, so the housing might be different, for the transmission, when you are talking about front case are you takling about the mounts that put it in place? Need more research on this but I cant find it any where. Recently I just found out the my head gasket was blown, because the recent owner didnt even take care of the car, so I am going to get a new engine. Also the reason why I ask about the transmission was that I wanted a transmission that would be able to handle the pwer of the turbo and other stuff.

front case is basicly half of the trans. the ka transmission is the same internally as the rb20 and sr20 trannys.
