i have a 91 fastback w/ the dohc engine in it. I believe that this is the KA24DE engine correct me if im wrong. Im pretty new to the 240 crew and i have been doing some reading. I think that im pretty sure im staying w/ the motor in there and turboing it. I've read that it is better for drag racing then the sr20. so my question is what are a couple of the companys you guys recomened to buy the turbo kit from. i have found a couple but im want others imputs. also i was wondering if there were any good websites with 240 info. i found a couple just wondering is there is any others, also any sites speaclizing in 240 parts??? i have read the faq's and went to the sites on there at least most of them... so any other info would be great. i just plan on pushing 7psi most of the time since i do not plan on building the motor right away. basic bolt on that are needed/recomenned for the turbo set-up well thanks in advance.

just pieace together a turbo kit yourself and you'll save money. well actually depending what you are doing...my goal is 400hp daily driver so it going to be fully built.

thats what i was trying to eliminate doing is puting together my own turbo kit. i was more less looking to buy one complete set this way its not all "Ghetto" i want a clean install....

i only turbo kit i have seen for sell was like $4k and it used a T04e/T3? turbo hybrid(something like that)

that would be the F-MAX kit.
piecing together your own kit would not be ghetto if its done right plus you can say i did it myself and fix problems that may arise alot faster.

yeah its only ghetto if you buy cheap shit. i am going quality over anything else and noticing that i am paying the price. but i would rather have it done right than have major problems down the road.

:gay:

What's so :gay: about a 400hp daily driver?

thanks for all the input and i think that im just gonna put together my own kit since it does seem alot more acheavable. Is the turbo from a Grand National any good? or what other cars could i use a turbo from..

If you're going the KA-T route you might wanna check this out

I know Tat used the intercooler from a G.N.

400hp. daily driver.

thats an oxymoron.

You're right.Imagine the turbo lagggg.....

If I wanted a 400hp dd I would go with a camaro or a '97 Corvette coupe:cool:

i 2nd that. 400 daily? gotta have a n/a

seriously, why would you want a 400hp daily driver anyways? just make it a 300hp daily driver, that will get you running high 12's and plenty of juice to drift anywhere you want

I don't see any point in a car with 400hp unless its a track car

12 second drift car?


you must be mistaken my friend. thats a near impossible for a car with 300 hp.

pick one or the other....unless your rich enough to buy 2 kindas of suspenion setups and youre willing to switch everytime you plan to do something

1) i know from that a 300hp car doesn't go 12 sec in 1/4's.
2) i know from experiance that T-66 turbo makes about 350hp at around 4250 rpm.
3) where the hell is the fun in buying a car with that much hp.

btw i am not going to run a T-66 and this car is daily driven and so is the other KAT in the car club running about 340hp daily driven.

i hope that the graph you posted wasnt your "experiance". cause if you read it, thats from a porsche.

turbos react diffrently to diffrent cars. the 240 is only a 4 cylinder. a porsche isnt. think about it

if you "read" it more carefully you would notice that the "porsche" is the company's name. then if you read the little lettering in the top of the page it would state...and i qoute "Mike Lee's 240SXRO 7/5/03 10:05:44 pm" then there is the same info on the bottom. but trust me my great "reader" it's a 240sx with KA24DE+T and the +T is a T-66.

i have a few customers with 911 turbo's that drive them reularly, they seem to have no problems with there cars daily drivinf ability. but, i'm kind of comparing apples to oranges right now...

you should see the porsche's they have at this place. they are mostly a racing team and damn those cars are sick. full race and all...everytime i am there i forget about the 240's and wonder around looking at the cars.

right you are my friend. my bust, i dont analize things well

a drift car that runs high 12's with 300hp IS posible, as long as your not looking for show, all you need to do is strip the interior of a few things not needed(backseat for example), then get light weight parts to replace the already heavey parts(hood for example), along with tires and wheels, then don't go all-out drift, but get a suspension that is resonable for both, as well as anything else. because once you get the car down to about 2600lbs with 300hp a good driver could run high 12's ofcourse this could be argued because of reaction time and traction and stuff but like I said a good driver

he said "400hp daily driver "

I was checking out that realnissan.com website, and their turbo starter kit is $1900, how much hp would a 95 240sx gain from these mods:


RN Starter kit - 240sx KA24E/KA24DE turbo kit $1,900.00 - includes; Our custom manifold (KAE) or RH Cast Iron Manifold (KADE), T3 Turbocharger unit, Non- intercooled, Internal wastegate, Downpipe flange and universal downpipe (unassembled), Steel braided Oil send/return kit (w/ all necessary fittings), Cool side pipings, Couplers and clamps, Vacuum hoses and clamps, Nuts & Bolts, TurboXS blow off valve.

those kits are for cars not wanting high boost. i believe it is around 5-7psi. so about 240hp...i believe.

You put an HKS GT3037 on a KA....you CAN get 400 Hp and there will be very little lag. I don't know what you're talking about. There aren't very many common sized turbos that a KA can't spool...unless you're talking T66 and up.

If you look at his dyno chart you see that he is already making 200 Hp at the wheels at around 4000 rpms with a T66!!!! Imagine what the GT3037 would do...it's ball bearing and uses a much smaller turbine. What lag? Are you speaking from experience?

thanks cnichols, I'm glad you posted that TWICE :biggrin2:

Yeah....I totally meant too.....piece of Sh!t computer.

hmmmm what i can do with 400hp. hahah i still got along waaaay to hit that magical number. maybe if i change my fuel rail, injectors, clutch, then add a larger intercooler. and then turn up the boost by another 8-10 lbs then i'll be good. and i've got a few more mods in my car now but i'm too lazy to update my sig. too many things to list down. lolz

dude 300rwhp should get you into the 12's.....

not 300hp alone.....but with good tires and LSD your halfway done with the battle, specially if you have any weight savings done. Theres more to being fast then actual HP.

case in point

271 claimed factory flywheel HP on an EVOLUTION, MotorTrend ran the 1/4 in 13.08 with it stock....... so 300rwhp with taction should be able to top that, and a 240sx is lighter then an evo by a few hundred pounds IM sure.

awd makes the difference. able to launch harder. the GTR launches best at like 5000rpm and full clutch drop.

it makes some difference but it doesn't make it untouchable or anything....

i know that...its that you were taking a stock EVO and a 240 with mods. all i was stating that to be at what the EVO is doing stock and the 240 is with mods, AWD makes the difference.

i got confused cuz i am drunk
