New...got a few questions

well, i picked up my 1995 black 240sx a few weeks back, it had some superchip installed, AEM intake. i have taken out a mustang 5.0, an i-Force V8 truck, lost to a modified 5.0, and i beat civics all day.. though im looking for some more power, without spending a ****load of cash. im trying to learn all i can about 4-strokes, ive been building 2-strokes for around a year... any suggestions would be good, also my clutch is about to die, and im thinking of dropping audio in. its a daily driver, 78k orignal miles, always serviced on time, the goods. thanks.

Welcome, . You could add a turbo to your Ka, get an Sr, Rb, or Ca, but thats just if you have the money to swap motors. I would start with supension stuff first if it was me. But for hp, an air intake is pretty simple and adds around 5 to 10 hp.

thanks, well, i could easily do the sr or rb swap, dont know much about the CA, never heard of it. problem is i dont have the cash right now to do a swap, or to prep it for a turbo, maybe cams / bump the compression up?

you wont pass emissions with an SR...

Turbo the KA, it makes more power than almost any SR and its totally legal

Ive heard great things about the Greddy kit and intercooler!

But without spending so much...
Id say: Exhaust CAt, and headers

I've NEVER heard of a 2-Stroke car...and what is so difficult about a four stroke? i would assume your talking about four-wheelers and dirtbikes

You can easily pass the emissions just go to some smog check place look for the mexican technician and offer him 50 bucks to pass you. Youll spend way more to turbo your ka than you would to swap an SR. But if you want to drag your car go for the ka-t you can get much more power out of it because of the 2.4 liters of displacement.

One word :NOS

If u get somebody that knows how to installed it properly ,and u dont abuse the shiat out of ur engine this one of the best bang for the buck mods ,make sure the you are running premium fuel like 93 octane or higher (ex:Jet fuel or octane booster with 93 oct) since you have a SuperChip already and it might have advanced the timing already ,plus 93 octane gas or better will prevent detonation ,just make sure you get a 50 shot kit and you will be fine .

Just my 02. Cents
