Turbo 240sx Owners: Turbo Setups/Plans/Goals

[midnightangel]

If I need to get a new ECU to handle more fuel, then I'll just say the hell with it and get myself a Stand-alone system for $600.00 and it will be totally programable with a comp.

[slideways...]

a couple things.

your not gonna find a standalone for 600 bucks besides maybe megasquirt. which is not the best, but its ok.

second of all, rising rate regulators are crap. get an AF controller. and dont buy a narrow band AF guage. they are worse than useless because they cost money. if they were free they would just be useless.

third of all, if your turboing, why do you even think the stock injectors are good enough? get some bigger ones. RC engineering or Deatschwerks can both help you immensely if you need to know how big and what kind to use.

-550cc Injectors
-Enthalpy tuned ECU
-New FMIC and piping
-New hotpipe and HKS SSQV
-Boost Controller and Turbo Timer

Pretty sure there's some other things, just gotta remember them.

I know its been a long time but I'm still workin on this thing, murphy's law, those of you who have built somthing know how it goes. I've decided on the turbonetics T-76 PN#11298 tee hee, look it up if you want. I could all day typing about this thing, got about 10K in it now and I think I'm about halfway there. I dont have many pics but i need to get some taken so I might get a few more up soon.

ok so i'm lookin at turboing my 240. its a '93 hatch ka24de. no lsd.

alright so i've looked into the sr swaps and it just seems like alot of work since i'm only trying to make 300whp... maybe 350whp tops. ok so if i turbo the ka i was thinking i should upgrade the fuel pump to a walbro 255lph and either 330cc/min or maybe 550cc what do you guys think would be better? also on the turbo i'm thinking a t3/t4 hyrbid but i've also heard alot of people are using the garret t28 from the s-15. so what do you guys think?

also what would be a good compressor size and turbine size for this setup?

advice would be helpful guys and i know i also gotta throw in a ecu... probably a greddy emange or something like that. and bov and wastegates and intercoolers and such...

i've looked at the greddy turbo kit but it seems like i'd be replacing alot of the parts like the injectors to make the power i'm goin for... would it be better to just go with that kit and upgrade or start from scratch. also i know how to weld so i can fabricate some of my own piping

like what size intercoolers and stuff would you recommend for that setup? like a 24x12x4 or one thats 24x12x6?



my other option would be the sr20 swap most likely a s-14 since i heard the s-14 disapates heat better than the s-13 due to the fins on the engine block and i'd be changing the turbo from the s-15 anyways so there's no reason for me to spend that kinda money on it.

my third option was a rb25det... i dont really need the rb26 even though i know it could produce more power easier and stuff but its kinda unneccesary for my goals.

i'm wanting a setup for autocrossing and drifting. i'm not so big into drag cus all it shows is who has more power and is quicker at shifting.
