Any turbo kits for KA24E out there?

I have a '90 240sx and want to turbo charge it. Any turbo kits out there? does the Greddy Turbo kit work w/ the SOHC? or can I buy the Greddy turbo kit and mod it to fit the SOHC? any help/info appreciated. Thanks all.

(O=O/ 180SX \O=O)

My reason is the same as yours....cause it is street legal...so for me to get the Greddy, I have to swap the motor to the DOHC, and maybe change my smog components to OBDII to make it work.

But a custom turbo would be good also....I was thinking of using the Turbo from a 95 eclipse and get custom piping and get the cast iron manifold from above posts. BTW, thanks all for the info. I wanted to turbo the SOHC because the compression is lower (8.6:1) than that of the 95 and up DOHC KA motor (9.5:1) btw, Greddy kit only for DOHC....of course once I rebuild and strenthen my KA(E) and upgrade my pistons and rods.

This may sound stupid.. but while I'm reading this, can you swap a KA24DE head onto a KA24E bottom? My friend has a 91 Stanza, and we're lookin' to make a project car out of it.

Edit : Nevermind.. 5 more minutes of looking, and I found what I was looking for.

The turbo off a 95 eclipse is only good up to about 250hp and is the T25. It is about as small as you can get. If you wanted to use a decent sized turbo, I think your best bet would be the EVO3 16G which is bigger than the Big 16G turbo, but smaller than the 18G turbo. The EVO3 turbo is good up to 450hp.
