Welcome, and no there are no 240's that come turbocharged stock but like you said you can always find a cheap 240 with blown motor and then do the SR20, CA18, or RB series swap

Well with the engines it all depends on what you wanna spend. The cheaper and easier swaps would be the CA18 and the SR20, the RB series swaps are more expensive but will give you more power stock. Again, its really all up to what you wanna spend

Also..RB's take more modification to install. The RB20 is the cheapest at ;ess then 2grand or grand flat. RB25...roughly 3500 and a RB26 at...4500-5000

Also the easiest to install wouuld be the RB20 because you don't need a custom driveshaft like you would for the other RB engines. And if your going to look into getting an SR20 the s13 or s14's are easier to install than the s15 SR20, I forget what all mods need to be done to fit the s15 SR, sorry i'm tired as hell

Well the best thing to do would be to get an entire front clip, that way you have everything you need for the swap and dont have to look around for something you might need if you buy the parts seperately, and I dont think you'll need a new radiator but its always a plus to have a new one
