Is their any American equivalent that is exactly the same as any Silvia body style wise? (not counting rhd/lhd of course just exterior panels and lighting)

Do you mean the 240sx S14? There is no S13 equivalent.

you ricer! it'll always be a 240sx, remember that. you put an sr20 in it, it's still a 240sx, you convert the driver side with a silvia front end and an sr, it's still a 240sx, tho you can be a liar bout it and say you have a jdm silvia, you a liar nonetheless. okay? do you understand? oh yah, puttin a silvia emblem on your 240sx doesnt make it a silvia either, okay c32b1 ricer
goforlong, it'll be a 240sx with an s13 front end conversion.

yes...in my opinion that is still just a 240SX with a body kit...just because the body kit has fenders and headlights doesn't make it anything more than a body kit...there is no way to have a silvia without actually getting a silvia...like this one...

meh...people that put a S15 conversion on their 240SX and think their entitled to call it a silvia is like someone putting M3 fenders on a civic and calling it a BMW

if you have a s13 240 coupe and put the s13 front end conversion and then drop a sr20 in it then its basically a silvia minus it saying silvia and being right hand drive but you are correct if it only has the front end then it doesnt compare to a silvia

sorry, I disagree with ya...it's no different than a guy putting a JDM engine, transmission, suspension, and headlights on a ITR and calling it a JDM ITR...it's still not a silvia, you could put in the engine, convert the front and rear ends, even convert it to right hand drive...you still just have a 240SX that has a ot of money into it...no amount of changes will make it anything other than that...
am I impressed by silvia conversions? yeah sure...do I consider them to be silvias? no, they're a nice 240...

here, let me make it plain and simple. it came out as a silvia FROM THE FACTORY. it will always be a silvia. 240 came out of the FACTORY a 240, will always be a 240. a 240 with an engine swap. a 240 with a silvia front end conversion. a 240 with alot of money put into it. that's what you would say bout your 240.

About the turbo question, t88 sucks! it lagged so much and you need to redo the piping manifold to fit the flange of t88. Ya' need to change the engine first to get full efficiency of that turbo. My recommendation is HKS GT3037 with 0.87 A/r or Greddy T518Z.
