that's bout it. no engine shots cuz its still stock... KA-T in the process... all i need is a manifold and to order some oil lines from stealthmode... not lookin for impossible power jus a lil over stock and to increase the torque a lil more then it already is... ill be sure to take pics of that proces... enjoy and if u could, i <3 the flaming comments..

jus turboing the ka, sr20 injectors(370cc), afc2, 300z fuel filter n fuel pump, sr20 sidemount ic and piping, dsm 1g bov and just about 8-10 psi... not to much hope it holds up. ive seen people boost a lot on ka's but with proper tuning and way better management, so ill see how this goes and if all is well we shall see what it leads to.

yeah, i might need it. it's weird cuz i was doin a lil research n the ssauto mani's for ka's actually last if u have the bracket on the exhaust and have a flex pipe. people have like 6k+ miles with that manifold with not 1 single problem. on ka-t they actually recommend using it lol... i think i mite try it out cuz its only 160 sometimes i find it online for 135. unless anyone else can make me a manifold for that much or kno where to get one for that much...

With SSAC's reputation I would be hesitant of buying the manifold.. but hey, if it works..

Nice, another 240SX owner in the mix. I love the front end, been wanting to put that on my car for a while, I think it looks better on the coupe, but I would rock it on my hatch. Anyway, car looks really clean, keep us updated.

Pretty nice, but I personally prefer the pop up lights.

Good luck with your boost project.

in japan it's called the sileighty... i think its looks just as nice but i prefer coupe's over fastbacks... im starting to like the pop-up front now that i have the silvia front... it doesn't even feel different to me. i think i hate it cuz it doesn't run right now haha. we'll see what happens n ill keep u guys posted.

oh and that lip is jus the stock single cam lip. like 6 bolts line up n jus make 3 of ur own and bam. it fits on the dualcam bumper to but sits hella hella low.

I only prefer the coupe's when they have the silvia front end on them, otherwise, I like the hatch. In all honesty, I think the 240 is an ugly car in stock US form. The JDM cars had all the nice lighting options, not to mention the better powertrain options. I can't wait to get my car swapped. I got a phone call yesterday from a buddy that has a friend looking to sell a 91 with broken timing chain guides for around 300 bucks ;) I was hoping he would call me back today to see what the deal is, but nothing yet.

nice, what turbo do u plan on useing? my friend has a 240 with a silvia front, they look pretty good, his is ka turbo with safc hack and ----, t3, and ---- running 10psi daily, he made his own manifold from mcmaster piping, just a log, but it works good. he wants to run mega squirt soon. u should be fine with your setup, keep us posted with pics of it as u get ready to turbo and what not, i would tell u i could make a manifold for a 240, but i havent tryed one yet llol, mostly hondas, and a few dsm's. i dont like the ka flange pattern, they should touch not be all induvidual like that.

Are you running DE-T or E-T? I just don't want to spend the time on the sohc motor that I have now. I wanted to swap my motor 5 years ago when it was not all that common, but money prevented it. Other, more important things prevented it for quite some time and now I have the opportunity to do it and I was considering going RB25DE-T, but I want something that I can easily source parts for and from what I have seen and read, the SR can provide some serious power and most of all fun!! >:D The main thing that really has to happen for me to enjoy the damn car is that I have to get rid of the automatic trans, it's killing me. I would much rather drive my underpowered Civic with a 4spd or my 5 spd Ranger than the auto 240. I catch hell from my friends on a regular basis because I bent a wheel on the car over a year ago and have not replaced or driven it (like twice) since. Well, that is all gonna change soon I hope. The motor set should be shipping to me the first week or so of August, just gotta find some new shoes and get it all put together ;)

man E-T's can handle some power as well... check out ka-t.org seriously... and converting it to stick is so easy... jus do the petal n ---- first then tackle the conversion after so u dont have to worry bout the pedal. we got it all done in 1 day. and well worth it. to bad my motor took a ---- so im jus gonna toss it and get a fresh ka with low miles for cheap.

The wheels are already in motion, the check for the SR has already been sent, I was told alot of my accessories (intercooler, rad, clutch, etc..) are shipping out tomorrow. It's something that I have wanted to do for a looong time, so I am doing it ;)

I am not at all worried about swapping to the manual trans, just have to get a few more of the parts, hope the $300 parts car deal comes through. I will have to check out ka-t.org anyway, I always like to know what people are doing and how they are doing it.

damn that ---- looks hard. Nice work on the almost color matching paint job. It looks like a few more coats of clear and that chit would be flush ^-^

Nice, now you need to bring it up here someday... SoCal crew needs another BBQ.

that's what im talkin about... im down to drive up any time its hardly a drive up. we'll get it situated and try to get everyone. even if it aint turbo ill come up for one.

and its cool that u ordered ur sr20. the only thing you'll wonder about on the 5spd swap is makin sure u get the wiring done right, u needa take a plug off the tranny, cut and jump the 2 wire plug and plug it into the chassis harness... it's pretty simple cuz i had to do it my self. i hated my car when it was auto.

Yea, I have been wanting to do it for so long and have read what to do sooo many times, it is not even funny :-\ I think I should be able to handle any and all wiring changes, I have been doing mobile audio/video/security systems for about 12 years. I just want my damn stuff already :P

Fitment looks good! Time to get it painted :P KA-T... probably not the route I'd take personally but I've read about it being done pretty successfully. Good luck with it.
