Body kit or turbo first
I am about to get a 95 240 SX and I am wondering if I should do the turbo first or should I get the body kit done first, so that the intercooler has a clear path instead of being partially blocked. I am going to do the S15 conversion just to let people know what I am planning. Also I don't even think the stock body kit will be fine with a turbo install setup.

i have a greddy v-spl and its behind my oem bumper....the intercooler doesnt starve at all. its actually quite nice because it flows very well and its suttle. see im the opposite of you, i dont want anyone to know i have a turbo so i have no exterior mods to my car at all. that way it looks just like a normal 240.
i would say go turbo first for sure...

If I had the money for a Turbo i'd get that first. Sleeper cars are teh shizznyte! And if you don't want to attact attention then a body kit is that last thing you would want lol.
At least this way you'll only have to worry the dorks that have primered, 757 Winged, 4 different rimmed, fart can exhausted Hondas wanting to race you.

It sounds like your mind is made up...
But take it from me, the people who get respect do the things that matter first, like suspension before engine, then looks.
besides the body kit wont make your car more fun to dive, the turbo definately will..
AND you dont want anymore attraction, trust me...be a sleeper get a V-Mount

Really I am not really looking for respect from people, because there are always going to be people that either like you or don't like you. Being a sleeper isn't my main concern, getting to the end product is. The more I think about it, the more the engine is more important since i will basically have to have it rebuilt from scratch so that I know everything is in tip top shape. I don't want any headaches later on down the line because something has a crack in it, or is on it's last leg. Thanks though for the input.

I upgraded in this order, I fixed things that where broken first.
exhaust
suspension
minor stuff
then got a new motor (old one wasn't doing to well, tranny was fuqed)
Then style, hey if your body parts are rusty its a performance mod to replace them

It really depends on what you want. If you want to look extra good then go for the body kit but if you want to have fun driving then go for the turbo.
Personally, I like both of them equally & in my opinion, the S14 already looks good without any kit therefore, my choice would be the turbo upgrade.
