It's now becoming less of a dream, and more of my winter project.
My very, very old, but so very, very young KA24E is from an 89 240SX. She's got 121,000kms (or around 80,000mi, I believe, too lazy to convert it) and since I bought her (at 117,000km) there's been constant oil changes every 1000kms. The motor pulls hard to the redline, despite a sticky lifter and that horrid timing chain guide rattle.
In a couple of weeks the motor will be pulled for a full tear down and rebuild. I'm gathering parts right now and I'll hopefully have everything I need by Christmas. There's still large holes in this build, but we're looking at a 300HP starting point. This is what I've got so far, and what I've got planned.

Intercooler... I can get a HUGE *** one from a friend who has it in his Stage3 + Meth SRT4 (so over 400HP) for 200 or ebay one with piping, or get the CX racing kit which has piping meant for a T3 and some random wastegate, for like 500. If I get the one from my friend I'll have to find piping somewhere and I'm not sure who I would go to.
BOV... not sure what would be a good choice?

Still very new to this, and it's going to be a good project. I know a guy locally, over on KA-T.org he's known as eviltom or kings_blend. I'm hoping he'll be able to help me through a lot of this but I would like to hear a few opinions and thoughts on the matter.
