stock turbo, 13psi, 230whp 223wtq

Niceeee. For 3 years my pride and joy was a 91 240sx dohc bumper with an sr20det. Coilovers, VLSD, 17's with the grippy tires up front and an open exhaust, so fun with boost.

I had so much time invested, then my idiot mechanic friend left my manifold unbolted to my engine and let me drive hours on it, also filled my car with non-synthetic oil! Not good for turbochargers from what I understand.

later we found my engine was knocking bad, traded it for a bone stock s14 and missed my baby ever since.

The 240sx platform is the best bang for buck sports car to build on IMHO. It is light and rwd, even if you go turbo on the original ka 2.4 engine, you will see impressive results with added torque as well.

Love those cars, tuner all the way but I'd love to have a big v8 in a 240.

I've got an Audi with the twin Turbo 2.7 V6 in it (30V) and AWD, 6 speed manual. Came with 4.11 gears stock! 0-60 in 6.0 flat, not bad for a big sedan. A computer swap pushes that from 250Hp to 320HP for about $600.

My next project car I want to build a pre-smog 240 or 260Z with an LS1 and a T56 6 speed. hehehe, wicked fast cars.

Muscle...kinda

Muscle...kinda

85 Buick Regal...plan is to stick a Duramax diesel in it and turn the boost up...way up. It should crank our around 1500 ft lbs of torque...that's the plan anyways.

GT-R FTW. Forget 80k, used GT-Rs are selling for 65k.

Muscle all the way.....60's-70's muscle is just cooler and classier looking then new stuff IMO, and is kinda historical and you can do pretty good at a reasonable price......

boo

400 hp at 12000rpm may be fun but nothing compares to 900 hp and a ton of torque to boil the hides off the wheels...old school muscle for sure
