This is a given, but he makes a very good point.

From what I have heard, the T25 will choke the engine out in high rpms, so I don't know how it would work. I personally wouldn't use one. On a KA, the T25 would probably spool up around 1.5-2k so you wouldn't have much lag.

A T3 would work just fine.

A T3 is good if you don't plan to do over 7psi or so. If you want to upgrade later, I recommend a T3/T4 or straight T4.

hey about my other queston (so your saying I could do the compression test myself or should I take the car somewhere??) anyway I could run 7psi without risking anything I had no idea is it true??

[nissanfanatic]

You can do the compression test yourself. You can run 7psi on the stock internals, given the engine is in good condition, but you have to upgrade the injectors and get a safc or get a FMU. Your powerband will not be short with a T3/ T4. It would be very short with a T25. I've heard that the T3 kinda tapers off around 4.5-5k which is why I'm going with the T3/T4. If you do go with a T3, get one off a Z31

[kenwood guy]

did you do one??

[PlastikAssassin]

If you don't want to do it yourself take it into a mechanic, they'll probably charge you about 40 dollars.

[kenwood guy]

how often do people do compression checks before they buy a used car?? but even though compresssion could there still could be other problems. what if I take it to a mech and ask him to look at and tell me if its worth buying have him do the compression check etc etc... would that be the best way?? I would imagine they would charge for more.

[nissanfanatic]

Yes there can still be other problems, its a 240.lol But having a "good" mechanic look at it is always a positive investment. The compression check will only tell you what kind of condition the engine is in.

[kenwood guy]

well I see you put the word good in quotes what would be your defention of a "Good" mech???

[nissanfanatic]

A wise one. Don't take it to Bubba's car fixin place. Take it to a well repped preferrably import repair shop.

[kenwood guy]

man there was a Bubba's car fixen place down my street o well J/K well i just hope im not going to get a lemon

[nissanfanatic]

Get the VIN and check it out at Carfax or something.
