high milage ka
 

i got 91 240sx with 128000 miles on a ka. honest opinions do yall think it will be safe turboing, stage one fmax. or should i get it re built. or would it be cheaper just to buy a new motor. oh yeah i know bout the search button, but i at work and i aint got the time to look in it at all the post. thanx for replys.

well damn never mind i see my ans. already but if u do have any extra input let me know thanx

well that was easy enough:thumb:

lol, interesting
i've heard of people doing so, but you'll only be able to run 7 psi, and run the risk
basic rebuild is 500, runs up to 4K for the engine alone.
Ca18det might be a solution for you.

Dr.

i think im gonna stick with the kade, I was looking at the fmax stage one, Car is gonna be a daily driver, plus there really aint any place to race round here. I've heard nuttin but good things about the fmax, i did see it said it was only for 96 and up it should fit on my 91 right.

doesnt anyone in america drive their cars? :P

personally my car has 265,000kms (164k miles) on the clock and its getting the turbo treatment. no point spending cash on rebuilding the engine if there is nothing wrong with it. high mileage means nothing if the car has been looked after.

Keep in mind...
 

Keep in mind the internals of engine can only withstand single digit PSI. Decent 220 HP or so using F-Max's stageI.

But i bet after you drop that, the need for speed begins. In that case get forged internals drop the stock compression to 8.5:1, proper fuel management systems and your on!!
