KA Bolt-ons and N/A Tuning
Hey everyone, I've got a 93 240SX, and I am thinking of doing some bolt-ons to it. For now I would like to keep the car N/A (Naturally Aspirated), and then maybe later do some ram air etc.
I am just looking for some good ideas on good bolt-ons that do help make a difference, I am willing to put good money into this car. As well as, I was wondering about any ECU Tuning on the car, is there a good program that'd work? And the last two things, apparently the governer on the 240SX is at 120MPH, how do we crack that. And is there gauges that will fit directly into the 240SX Dash board, that will give a higher MPH reading? I wouldn't mind digital gauges either. Thanks - Firewind |

Re: KA Bolt-ons and N/A Tuning
Thanks for the on the gauges, I'll check that out. As far as everything else.
Well for one, right now, it's my daily driver. I'm looking to do the RB26 swap in the future, after a I get a much better supenion, brakes, etc... but in the mean time, I was just hoping to find some bolts-ons that could help me just add a bit of power to the KA motors. In the end it'll be most likely a track/show car. |

Re: KA Bolt-ons and N/A Tuning
bore it out, put on cams, ITBs, port and polish the head, oversized valves, play with the stroke/rod length, ecu tune, windage tray, then you could change the fuel pump and injectors so the A/F could be safely changed either lean or rich, cam gears, play with timing, after all this run an MSD and id bet youd see something.

but high comp pistons and a decent port job would probably bring atleast a 25-35whp gain...mostly due to the high comps. btw..about the guages LSauto makes a 180mph speed for the 240...its already calibrated...just need to put it in...if you go past that...then you do have a death wish

Re: KA Bolt-ons and N/A Tuning
you say you plan on putting alot of money into this and want to do an rb26 swap. Do you have any car experience? As in can you do the work yourself? If not that rb swap will cost you an easy 10 grand.....and thats on a low end estimate. I think you would be more interested in a rb25 swap. Which is 10x easier and a whole hell of a lot cheaper. Plus there is more people who have done this to get trouble shooting problems solved if you run into them. I think you should research everything a little bit more. Dont waste your time with NA stuff right now. Way back in the day i did header, cat, and exhaust. I didnt really feel any difference lol, besides the sound. That was it. Its cool to have that stuff and all that, but it doesnt make you any faster really. You will still get landed on by 99% of the cars out there. I would focus on suspension stuff right now if i was you. You would be surprised at how different the car handles and how much more fun it is to drive with just a couple thousand into suspension. I know a couple of thousand sounds high, but coil overs are ATLEAST 1 thousand, the rest would just be replacing the multilink parts (rucas, tension rods etc). Which you can get a majority of that covered for another grand. I would browse forums right now and get a good idea of what MOST 240 people have done. Usually coilovers is a definant buy.
Or do it like i do.....replace what needs replacing with an aftermarket piece or go with a stock one if its not a mojor deal. Then when you have an up to spec car, do what you want.

Re: KA Bolt-ons and N/A Tuning
A little nitrous never hurt anybody...
But then again I'm not so sure he mentioned what kinda racing and what kinda HP goals he was looking for. That would help. You can really go all-out crazy with an NA. Waste of Money? Last time I checked all mods on any car are a financial loss. What does it matter if wants to mod a KA24DE...? Or an SR20? First thing is first: Intake, header, exhaust... suspension mods. Still want more? Tell us what your goals are.
