Lightbulb S14 engine mods and body kits

I'm looking at a 95+ 240sx but I have a few questions before I buy one.

How much would it cost to install an aftermarket turbo and who makes turbos for these cars?

Also, what should I expect to spend on one w/ 5speed, good condition, and under 90,000 miles?

Where can I find some different body kits for the 240? I've looked at www.groundeffects.com and wings west, but WW didn't have anything.

If any of you have a chance, look at the 97-99 eclipse body kit at www.wingswest.com

Thanks for your help.:bandit:

Well you can pay from $2000-8000 US for a 95. An aftermarket Turbo kit is $3300+. Check out Nsport, Fmax and XS Engineering. They make the turbo kits for the 240sx.
Onto Body kits, I find that the best companies that make the kit for 240 are Bomex, Cwest and Veilside and Erebuni. Where Cwest and Bomes are my two favorites.

a word to you: Wings West and Ground Effects are both really crappy American Made ricer companies. just so you know...

btw, Erebuni?? are you kidding me?? they're even worse then Wings West. absolute garbage. if you're really a 240SXdrifter as you claim to be, then you would know that, and you would hate Erebuni as much as i do.

maybe he is a 240drifter, i mean, if he drifts that means he goes through alot of bumpers and needs cheap ones often....

even if he is a drifter, i would never buy an Erebuni bumper for my 240. i just hate them so much, lol....i would have a nice GPSports or G-Corp or C-West bumper for the road, but during competitions i would just go bumperless instead of wasting money on el cheapo's.
