Re:what turbo for the 92 240sx?

The K24 is a great engine, and I would think a larger T3 would work pretty good on that application, The T-25 from the SR20det, would be a bit small IMO, but it could work. Especially since the Ka24 is mainly a longer stroke motor, and doesnt rev to the sky.

The t3/t4 hybrid may not be the BEST unit for your needs.. See the following excertp from.

The T3-T4 turbo is a major upgrade and is not intended for street use. It is too peaky, meaning nothing happens till 4000 rpm, then watch out. It is designed for applications where 3000 rpm plus launches are required. From our tests so far, it will provide quick bursts of high boost and has too much mid range lag for daily driving, but holy cow is she ever fast.

Personally I want the widest range of boost possible from my setup.. I use a stock t3 as it spools fast and provides strong boost through most of the rpm range.. Of course my application is a bit different as it is on a 1.8 fiat spider. the tractable range of this engine is 1700 - 7800 rpm with N/A.. so boosting accross all of that rpm range is important to me.
