turbo charging a 240 sx
 

a friend of mine is looking to turbo charge his 240. Has anyone ever done this? Anyone have recommendations for fuel managment, besides an fmu and missing link.?

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

dont some 240's come stock turbocharged...? what do I know :-X

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

sorry, the motor is a KA24DE....not turboed

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

only the silvias come turboed which are only in japan. they have the SR20DET teh "T" standing for turbo. if you turbo a DA24DE it would be called a KA24DET

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

Ah sorry for the mistake, I see now.

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

It's also available in Europe...the 240sx is called here the 200SX with the SR20DET in it :).
There is a guy on this forum that has turboed one....you can PM him.....his name is Menikmati.
Do a search and PM him

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

I have this on my list of cars to do a kit for. Where are you located and would your friend be interested in letting me use his car for a guinea pig? I could give him a realy good price on the finished kit.
As far as fuel goes the Nissan guys have it hard, they use the weird side feed injectors so you can't swap in a set of 450 DSMs. You can use Infinity Q45 or 300ZX TT injectors and a V-AFC.

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

WOW I hope whomever is turbocharging a 240 does more research. A missing link?????? The 240sx has a MAF sensor, no need for a missing link...you couldnt use it. go to www.realnissan.com for a kit for the 240. And if you dont want akit, you can always get a manifold from them. Depending on what you have SOHC or DOHC you can jack injectors from other cars. Like the SOHC can take injectors from the CA18DET (which is the motor that came in early Silvia's in Japan, the US got the CA18ET in the 200sx). Turboing a 240sx is no different than a Honda. And whomever said fuel stuff is harder on a Nissan is SADLY mistaken. If you want some good info go to www.nissaninfiniticlub.net. They have a dedicated section to KA24ET and KA24DET. There are quite a few turboed KA's over there

I was plannin on getting a 240SX and making a DRIFT MACHINE

turbo SR20, suspension, brakes and 50:50 weight ratio.

this is after i sell my current turbo INTEGRA project

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

well. in the US the 200sx is a FWD car, also known as a sentra, which comes with an SR20DE non-turbo, same engine that comes in the G20 from Infiniti. There are no FWD or RWD DETs in the US, unless you bring in the Bluebirds for the FWDs or the Silvias for the RWDs.

My friend Angel has a turbo'd 240, do it right the first time, dont do his mistakes, and for the ECU, always always ALWAYS go Jim Wolf, always!!!!

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

wow, thanks for all that info, very very very helpful. Ya i don't know that much about 240's and the missing link. Sorry

also i don't want him to go with a vafc hack, i think it would be much better to get a new ecu for boost.

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

i can't find your buddy Menikmati anywhere, got any info on him?

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

I think Greddy makes a kit for the 2.4L motor

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

isn't this site "home made turbo"

lol, anyway, he is not looking to buy a kit.

thanks

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

hey, dont forget the the AWD nissan pulsar, since we are all bring up the SR20 family. ::) 8)

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

If you want to build a turbo 240sx all you really have do is get a manifold made. I am sure if you look around on the internet you can find a place that makes them. But if you really want to build a fast 240 you would be better of buying a sr20det. stock the sr20 can put out over 400hp, but if you really want to go crazy you can buy a skyline front clip with a rb25dett in it and it will bolt into your 240 with very little modifaction. I think sport compact did a write up on how to do it. If you want big numbers buy a rb25dett and you will be on your way to 700hp with changing anything inside of the motor. It does although throw your weight balance off a bit but you can shift things around.

My buddy Ben turbo'd his 240 and he's using an HKS BOV vented to the atmosphere.

Hit me up on AIM and I'll give you his AIM screen name address so you can talk with him.

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

the shop that swapped my motor in my integra, the shop owner is currently doing a RB25 twin turbo motor in his 98 240SX, and it is NOT AS EASI AS YOU MAKE IT SOUND. you have to get the mount kit, and you basically have to build a custom drive shaft, and for the wiring, it is not hard, but takes alot of time.

later

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

Keep the replys comin. Thanks for all the info so far...very helpful. i need all the info i can get!

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

there is no such thing as a RB25DETT. That would be an RB26DETT. The RB25 is single turbo. RB swaps are pretty straight forward...well let me rephrase RB20 and RB25 swaps are fairly easy. RB26 is just as straightforward after you buy the TT mount kit, buy a RB20/25 RWD tranny and then do the RB25 stuff (ie mount kit, driveshaft)

Anyway if you do turbo it and decide to get an ECU, be prepared for a LONG wait. Jim Wolf likes to take their sweet ass time AND make you pay out the ass. I hear good things about them once you dealt with the delays.....LOL. If you DO go with them, plan ahead. Nothing sucks worse than having to send them your ECU for another 150 a pop or something like that just to upgrade injecotrs. It is possible to turbo a 240 the homemade for the same price as most people turbo civics. I looked at it but my KA was abused and not maintained..leaking oil, overhaeting (which led to the head gasket fatality which led to the swap) so I swapped in an RB20 instead. It bolted right up. Had clearance issues so you cant run the stock mechanical fan..have to get some aftermarket fans. Also had to cut some of the hood skeleton.

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

RB25's aren't all they're cracked up to be. The better value is the SR20. Yeah the RB25 would have more potential but you'd have to change everything and building a 6 cylinder is more expensive than a 4 cylinder.

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

well from what i saw at the shop, the Twin turbo 6 cyl. is worth every penny, he is looking to get 700HP without changing internals. that is really sick, i cant wait to see it finish.

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

Well, i'm turboing my 240sx (KA24DE) right now so ask me questions if you have any.

But i saw a post with someone saying the SR20DET engine is better. This is a never ending argument going on and will probably never be settled. Basically either engine is great. There are guys using the sr20det manifold and turbo on their KA24DE engines and pushing good numbers. There are also others with slightly bigger turbos or even much bigger t3/t04e's running 5-8psi pushing close to high 200's.

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

stock sr20det is rated 205 hp dude

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

wrong, i dont know where get that info from, the SR20DET manifold will not fit the SR20DE (shop owner said it is not even worth trying, with the SR20DET out there), AND the SR20DET is a WAY better engine.
Well up to date the SR20DET (BONE STOCK) i have seen it handle 470 WHP running 10 seconds passes in a 91 240 SX DAILY DRIVEN.
read it this afternoon in some imported magazine.

the shop where i hangout, they specialize in NISSAN, everytime i go there there are three four 240 SX with SR20DET engine, all over the 350 WHP marck. and TRUST me, they pull no less than 350 WHP without even taking off the valve cover off the motor.
GET THE SR20DET!!!

do some serious research, dont just read what people say on forums, most of them dont know shyt.

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

YEP, i think sr20det is the way to go....can you maybe answer my question??? do you need a whole new rear or driveshaft or is it a direct swap??

Re:turbo charging a 240 sx
 

NO you dont have to change it.
