Yea I was thinking about doing it myself, but the thing is I don't know how and I would like to learn, but I don't want to mess anything up and I want the job done right the first time. And another question, what kind of gas would I have to pump after I go turbo? Are there that much difference between different octane levels? This really bothers me because the price of gas is really skyrocketing right now.

Re: KA24DE questions
If you don't want to spend alot on gas, don't get a turbo. And before everyone says he can stay out of the boost and save gas, he doesn't need a turbo to stay under 3000 RPM. You'll need at least 89 if not 91 once you go turbo.

It's ok I'm still willing to put in the money for gas I was just asking if I would have to put higher octane in. Would a KA-T with rebuilt motor running 8lbs or boost be able to beat a Integra LS(non-vtec) Turbo with the same mods from a roll(40mph and 60mph) and a stop?

well with the same mods it would really be in favor of the 240 because 2.4L vs. 1.8L but it would mainly come down to driver skill.

Re: KA24DE questions
you'd probably kill the teg, but there are many aspects to look at (engine and driver wise), dont turbo your car just so you can beat that other guy you dont like....

Oh yea I don't plan to race one of those. Those are actually just my options of getting and I was wondering which one would be quicker. I'm not too picky about whether it is a Nissan or Honda or any other kind. In the beginning I wanted a '98-99 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS Coupe, but those are so hard to find these days so I gave up on that. I just now favor the 240SX because they aren't very popular around where I live (Arlington, TX) and they are RWD with nice displacement and I like the Silvia look. Most things I see around here are Hondas and V8s. I just want to be able to take the V8s. Doesn't the 240SX come with LSD on
the LE models? I just want the 97-98 240SX now instead of the older models because I like their looks a lot better. |
