I have them on PDF/Zip and theyre avalible for d/l on many Nissan sites

Anyone -

Does anyone know where to get these PDF/Zip versions of the 240SX shop manuals? Would appreciate any help.

This was a suggestion to put up something like this for cheap bastards like us.

If you have a KA24de and want some good HP gains for cheaply turbocharge it, seriously lol.

A stock KA24 will handle 5psi of boost easily. You can run this on stock fuel injectors, pumps etc... you can use the stock MAF meter as well. This will also work without an intercooler at this psi.

Most Junkyard turbos run about 100 usd. Most stock turbos are internally actuated(wastegate) this is also good for later on.

Check out RealNissan.com, they used to advertise a internally wastegated manifold for either the SOHC or DOHC ka24 for 330 usd with a T3 flange.

40 bucks for a manual boost controller that actually works!
check out www.z31.com, they have a great FAQ and will tell you about this new manual boost controller and give a link to it. It holds boost and doesn't spike like all the other manual boost controller contraptions produced before this one.

100usd generic Sr20det 3" downpipe off ebay

100usd for oil lines, flanges, and weilding for the required hoses on the center section of the turbo.

100-200 bucks for Turbo plumbing. You could use your imagination on this one and come up with something VERY cheap, like under 50 bucks, depends on how intiative you are and how tight your budget is.


So for 5psi of boost, you will probably make around 200rwhp, everyday, all the time. This will cost you under a grand, thats under $1,000 usd.

CHA CHING..

p.s. This would cost as much as say getting Underdrive pulleys, header, and a catback exhaust, which might make you 155rwhp.... You decide what makes more HP for less money.

Got a question: Is there any hope for an all-motor SR20???

I know it's designed for turbo, but I don't know much about turbos so I don't want a turbo motor. The reason I ask this is because I want to buy a first gen Miata and put an SR20 in it, I've heard of a swap kit that makes this possible so it's possible. I know rotaries aslo fit...I don't want a rotary.

you could easily buy a DE non-turbo SR20 that wasn't designed for a turbo...

the engines are differet. the DET was strengthened in key areas in order to withstand boost as well as other changes. you could try that...

Minor slip-up on my part. I forgot to mention that I wanted at least 200 HP in all motor form. The stock 140 is'nt enough

does the RWD DE from Silvia's only have 140hp? i never bothered reading up on it, but i thought it would definitley have more then that...


you could always build it up, though...

here's my 2 cents...(and keep in mind, i'm a nissan guy)

Hey, stupid, pick up the keyboard, type your way on over to google and start learnin about turbos. what you have here is what I call a "unfortunate amount of a lack of knowledge about your miata" A.K.A. the miata is one of the most understated engines around, it has one of the finest 1.8(t) liter engines avalable, and you wanna scrap it? The 1.8 liter engine in the miata is just screamin for boost. Miata engines when boosted are strong as fuck, have LOTS of potential, and are easy to retrieve this potential from.
the only reason that they just havent had the support of other engines is that a miata is known for being a "girls car." so not many people put a nice turbo in it, or mod them a lot. They just see "oh, hahaha, it's a pussy car". Miata's are known to be able to make 500hp, at only 20lbs of boos, and mods that would make any other engine pump out mabye 350.
Hey, if you'r gonna do a miata, just put on a turbo, or keep the 1.8 N/A, because they're known for their road racing potential too. dont just swap in a SR, and even if you were gonna do a nissan swap, do a RB25 or something completely insane instead of an SR.

(once again, i'm not trying to be a flamer, even though it looks like it, this is just my opinion, and I am a nissan guy)

P.S. the silvia q's made 140hp in 1991, and 160hp in 1993

To be honest, swaping in an SR20 was just one of my options. I've been reading up on the Greddy turbo for the Miata these past couple of hours. I DO know about turbos, but I just don't wanna deal with them. Since I love SR20s so much, and I wanna go the all-motor route I was thinking using the Sr20 would be a better choice instead of trying to get N/A power out of the Miata engine.

I just did'nt wanna come off looking like a confused newb, and I wanted to keep my questions strictly about the SR instead of talking about turbo Miatas which have no place in this thread

I'm gonna take your advice and turbo the Miata motor, if I ever get a Miata which there is a high chance I will. I don't care who calls it a girls car, having the reputation of a girls car makes it more of sleeper
