If you like the torque why not just stick with a KA24DE and turbo that, theres plenty of torque to be had, and with some nice internals and management, you can make a dyno chart that need to be printed vertically on three pieces of paper to map all the power

what happened to the other one you just got?

I almost picked up one of those, white nice exterior and interior. Clean title, new tranny, i think it had a rebuilt engine, electricals overhauled, he wanted 1300, I was only willing to pay a grand. I kinda wish I got it though, but then again I'm glad I didn't cause I ain't got no money!

I hate you

Good luck with the VG!

Very nice! Clean too! Sounds like you've got the plan all worked out too! Think you'll have any problems with finding a VG in the area?

i still have the other 240, its a 89 and its an auto matic, i was gonna swap it but i found this goodass deal so i had to jump on it, and i still have the Z aswell but im putting it back together and selling it.

And as for finding a VG, theres this place that is about 45 minutes from me that has cheapass prices on 300zx jdm engines, im getting a engine/ trans for 1500, then i'll need the wiring harness for 350, ecu i already have, piping n ----, etc etc, but for the most part that is most of what i need, i will be tuning it with z control, which is like uberdata for Z's

I began stripping the car out and found out how much more of a deal this car was, it comes with the 500 dollar viper alarm that has remote start, it has 4 sony xplode speakers that are in damn near new condition, comes with some type of 640 watt amp and all the wiring in order to run a sub. Im selling the complete stripped interior for a total of about 200-275 dollars. All the speaker ---- and the alarm is going in my other 240sx. Looks like this car was really a great great deal. Damn i sure do get lucky sometimes, some of you remember that built sohc that had crower i beams and arias pistons , direct port nitrous kit w/o bottle, ported TB and aem cam gear with a p28 ecu for 175bucks. yes be jelous

Is that a hoe in your car? I never thought you'd manage to get another hoe in your car besides yourself.

Good job.
