In the 240sx's defense because I like them, they have oil squirters from the factory, 2.4L, iron block they were made for boost, but came without  it.  8)

Yesss.....  :twisted:

KA24-T = forged internals and MAF.

420a = cast internals, MAP sensor... ie doesnt read boost.


Thats when u go standalone :P
As for doing a 4g63 swap into a ESi/GS/RS thats near impossble unless you swap over the front clip.

My 350whp dyno sheets would argue otherwise.

SR wont make 370fl/lbs of torque from 3500-6000rpm with only 15psi of boost.  :wink:

SR's are for ricers and bandwagon jumpers.

I'd say it's slightly more ricer to turbocharge somthing that was never ment to be turbocharged.

Give your head a shake, anyone who turbo`s a NA car is as far from a ricer as you could be. Everything should be turbocharged, and if its not its just waiting to be..

Turbocharging a NA car to me is ricer.

"I hear a turbo will make my car fast! I need one!"

So they go buy kit containing a T3 manifold and turbo, with a 3 row intercooler and a HKS SSQ.

99% of the time, they are poorly set up, shitty running cars that push 3 psi, but at least they are turbo, sound hella dope and are SUPA FAST!1!!

Ricer!

Thats a pretty narrow minded view, I am allways curious as to where people get such definate absoloute ideas formulated from? Years of internet browsing seems to twist impressions of reality. In a local sense, how many cars have you actually seen that have been turboed yet also fall into your "rice" profile? IE-slow/ugly/stupid/visor wearin...

Come to abby or mission, there are 10+ stupid kids in POS ricer civics running "20 psi and 300hp dude!!" with stock injectors and tiny intercoolers and 1.5" piping.

If you are going to do a shitty job of putting a shitty turbo on a shitty car then thats pretty frikkin' sad. But, if your gonna turbo something, and do it right and make some decent reliable power from it, then thats awsome and more power to you.

oh...  and back to the topic..  get a GSX
