240sx FAQ "Suggestion Box"

[Tims_240]

it can go on either, s14 or s13 from what i understand
if you go intercooled i bet you could get about 7psi, but why would you want to risk it (Stay with 5 until you upgrade injectors, etc)
you will already have an fmu if you buy the stage 1 kit (it comes with it) i would say you could get away with an fmu for about 6 psi
i really dought it would bolt right up, that would be a coincidence if it did, but you would be better off buying the kit, you're going to need the stuff in that kit anyways..

Q2: How much psi can i push with stock injectors/pump
Q3:at what point will i need an FMU or ECU setup?
Q4: my friend has a Mitsubishi 14b turbo off his GVR-4, will the revhard manifold bolt to it and would this be better than buying the kit?
thanks

1) It fits both.
2) Not much. I don't think they make wastegate springs that small.
3) As soon as you boost the engine. I listed all of the fuel upgrades options in that "Turbo questions" thread I believe. Fuel Management Units are too cheap not to use. Even 4:1 is better than nothing, but I would recommend a 6:1 for T3 sized compressors and an 8:1-10:1 for T4 sized compressors.
4) I believe Revhard only makes T4 flanged manifolds now. But a Mitsubishi turbo will not fit a Garret flange. Look into the Greddy manifold as it is flanged for a Mitsubishi turbo. Not sure if it is the same though.

Boostdesigns kits no longer come with a FMU.

[logik23]

ECU tuning comes into account with every engine.

uhhhhhhhhhh, this may seem a little overwhelming for you, but you can probably (and by probably i mean for sure) just replace the motor that you have in it now (ka24e) with another (ka24e) motor. they come in the years 89 and 90 after that they are all ka24De D = dual over head cams, but you wouldve know that if you wouldve actually read the FAQ. NOOB.
ka 24 (d) = dual over head cams e = electronic fuel injection
^ ^
engine 2.4L of displacement
series

you wont have to replace the ecu if you swap an engine for the same exact engine type.

This question may have been answered, but I cant find it. I'm planning on going with a late model 240 for my next car, and I was wondering which motor the KA or the SR, can be built to be a bit more powerfull up top. I prefer racing from a roll, so which would be better to fit that roll out?

[nissanfanatic]

Either.

Better question....

What are your goals?

[CassiesMan]

Well, I'm not out looking for a massive power uber drag monster, I'd be fine with a low14, high 13.I'd like something that can really get up there and move, but also be a pretty good daily driver.I've heard of boosted cars being somewhat of an event to drive, and I'm not really looking for something like that. Nissan has really just now started to catch my eye, so I dont really know a whole bunch about their cars in general, other than the Skyline.

[nissanfanatic]

Either the SR or the KA can do that. Both will involve about the same amount of money. Both would make good daily drivers. I drive my KA-T every day. What do you mean being an event to drive? I always though for a street car, boost is the way to go.

[sRscooby]

ok, i didn't find this in the FAQ or anything but..

i might be able to get a pretty good deal on an 5sp sr20det motorset locally, but right now, i'm auto. if i were to get this, what else would be required?

getting that would eliminate the big parts right, what else would i need besides the pedals?

[240SXSlideStar]

www.srswap.com has a writeup on it, with a few pics to, check the SR install guide and about half way down they get to the auto-manual swap.
