Stance GR+ Pros good coils for about 1k.SR20DET and build over time. Go to MAACO and pay for the highest paint job or take to a paint shop near you with reputable reviews.

lol and i just want the turbo for the soundi am not really a hp freak i love that BOV sound i rather not get a sr20 just because i think the KA has more potential .... but besides that i was thinking on getting the megan racing lower kit and i would ost pics but i just got this account and i dont know how lol and the reason i want to paint the car is because the gy i bought it from never washed it so looks like crap but he took care of the engine very well , but the macco paint job sounds good

Dude seriously you need to do WAY more research before you start posting like that or you are gonna get grilled. People are here to help you with serious problems not the bs you are asking. People on here are more impressed with people who do thier own work/research than people who try to ask other people for help.

From what i can tell you are a ricer. Put a boombox under your hood with a turbo and BOV playing contstantly and you will be good. A quality turbo setup is gonna cost you at least 1500 when an sr is only 2000. And you def dont know how to build a KA to handle boost so sr would be your best route.

And any quality color change paint job is gonna cost you at least 1500-2000 unless you know someone who will give you a great deal.

for real man, you sound like you are tied up with your ego rather than the art of building a car.

read some build threads and post by people here and learn some act right on how not to sound like a deuche.

post up some pics of your car and write a little about yourself.

you are a troll. Nico is not for you so gtfo please.

to OP, you arent woried about hp but yet you like the ka because it has more potential. you contradicted yourself and we see that as a weakness. please research before you post.

dude for real quit taking all of this personal. Your knowledge is less than most people on this forum and you are bringing up subjects that go beyond your capabilities of talking about.

maybe post pics of your car and say some stuff about it and what wrong with it and what not and there will be better responses than what you have gotten.

just be calm cool and sensual.

Basically this should be a stuck thread at the top of the page as an example of how NOT to introduce yourself to NICO.

good sir I do not think you know what a troll is.

back on topic, yeah, if you're trying to turbo just for the "BOV" sound. Pic up a honda turbo swap with bov, and feel VTak kick in. kidding.

You say you've built up cars before, yet you state you've never worked on a nissan (understandable) and you're going to turbo the car for an aesthetic item (BOV) WTF broseph.

I suggest going into the sticky thread. Great articles for many problems and upgrades.
