Okay, I have about $500, and want to know what I should do. I have a 1989 240sx coupe w/ 172k miles on the ka24e. I've just replaced the head/intake/exhaust gaskets and such.

So what would be best... I can get a ka24de 90k miles (engine/tranny/ecu/wiring harness) for $450. Or should I spend the $500 to build up the ka24e, or what? maybe a cheap turbo setup, or can it not handle it?

 

take ur 500 bucks, and add about 1.5k to it then go and build that sucka,

 

keep saving

 

save up another thousand or two like really really save and drive that motor into the ground then swap it out for the sr20det

 

I dunno bout the sr20det... everyone has them kinda thing... i'd rather go for the SOHC turbo, or DOHC turbo... only difference to me would be gas milage

 

drive that motor till its dead while saving your money, swap it for a DOHC with low mileage and then turbo the bastard

 

Keep saving until u are 101% sure of wat u want to do.
