Turbo Time.....

I just got my first 91 240sx and iv been driving it stock for about two months now, I wanna turbo it and Ka-T is the way I wanna go about doing that, I just checked the compression on my car and im running 150psi. Now i know thats low but if i were gonna run low boost would that be fine to turbo. I dont compete. My other thought was buy another Ka and do a complete rebuild what are your thoughts?

That compression seems low, but I would guess it could handle 7psi. Maybe somebody with more experience with it will chime in.

i wouldn't do it bro... that motor is on its way out..... at least if you don't wanna build it... take it apart and put new O.E pistons and rings on it and bring that compression back up to normal

even at 7psi it will let go pretty fast.
