Question Need help starting out!!

Aight my friends, heres the question that everyone asks, What should i do? I have a '98 240sx, and i want to put the SR20DET engine inside to make this bad boy come alive. The prob is i don't know what i should do, im not gona drift it to the point where its needs to have crazy springs and wat not. i do wanna race it tho and i think i want a 350-400hp engine, so shoudl i build it from the block up, or can i get away wit just the engine and turbo? i think i may want to put the psi up to 22, so i know im gona have to reinforce the block and all, but these are just ideas, and any input would be greatly appreciated! i wanna to put a S15 conversion on it later, but i wanna have a sleeper before making it pretty. but like i said: engine, brakes, suspension, drive train, anything would be great!!

thanks dudes and dudets

go to projectnissan.com they got tons of stuff, and even though i prefer the sr20, dont just do that cause every one else is, the KA24 can get alot of power out of it too.

sleeper only applys to drag racing.

Suspension is everything.

Theres a lot of information, as someone else has stated, all you have to do is search. I'm sad that everyone asks the same questions over and over again. No offense to you but...

...gg noob.


j/p.

Ummmmm

Definitely check out what everyone else recommends, and if you have any more questions, SEARCH, then ask. Thx.

don't want to seem like an ***, but probably will anyways since a lot of folks probably think I am an ******* but like everyone said SEARCH, so much info on here and on the net.

We can't tell you which way to go, do some research and decide based on what you want, then when you got that and need help we are here for you.
