$1600 for a 95 240sx SE. have like 9k to work with, what do you guys suggest? Give me the set ups you guys would do with 9000 with a little extra like 1000 for emergency. Please include labor charges........

-Swap for sr20det? (S13?S14?)
-Suspension?(Coilovers)
-BOV? (Need the sound)
-Clutch? Necessary?
-Boost controller? (I wanna up the boost on the stock sr20det)
-Rims/Tires
-Exhaust? (Thinking 3'' Custom)

Is all this possible? I want it to ride real nice at first and have the turbo boosted a little more till I can upgrade the turbo.

butters

tein coilovers
sr20det motor
greddy FMI
blitz bov
koyo rad
S15 stock turbo
NISMO rims

vbgambini

Ill have enough for that?

butters

i think you should,


coilovers 1g
sr 3g
FMI 1g
turbo and bov 500
rad 500
nismo rims 2g

i think that about how much those go for.....

vbgambini

what kind of coilovers? this is with labor costs? what sr20det are you talking about? Boost controller? how does that bov sound compared to the greddy type s?

butters

tein coilovers, maybe a couple hundered to get them installed, but its simple. you can do it very easily
s13 sr20, i hear its the best to mod
ive never heard the sounds personally, but i hear the blitz sounds better


if u have any extra cash

vlsd 400 ?
exhaust 600.. not shure what kind, but go with a 3in
short throw shifter 100
header & downpipe 600

vbgambini

That really didnt answer my questions though.

butters

ok, i fixed the post.......


and im not shure on the boost controller....
if u go wiht the s15 turbo, just keep it as-is until you upgrae it to a bigger turbo

vbgambini

how much boost psi should i put on the sr20det stock turbo in order to get a good sound out of the bov? how much can i even get a S15 motor?

butters

eehhhh?????


im not shure on how much boost you will need for a good sound, i guess you will have to experiment.... unless someone else knows.

in all honesty....the whoosh is cool as ****....but comon...if the only reason you want to increase boost levels is to hear more of your bov, thats just crazy

vbgambini

obviously i want more poewr, i wanna boost the stock sr20 safely and have the whoosh too man. ive never had a turbo car b4 so thats why im emphasizing the bov sound thats why. its crazy to yall but not me.

you could save alot of cash if you did everything yourself. if you include labor cost with everything you will probably loose a third of the 9g's

i dont have the tools. if i was home in miami i would probably be able to. but im in school here in nc so im going to need at least the swap done here. my car dosent run so it definately needs the swap right away. thats why, and since its my first turbo car i own, that sound is a must. Ive ridden in too many that i have to have 1 myself.
