Ok guys, So my story is i baught a 1992 240sx coupe with KA24E needed some work and i thought ( hey shes not to pretty now but alittle TLC and shell be running good). So when i first got it i had my machanic check things here and there and everything turned out to be pretty healthy. 150 PSI across the board, no oil leaks. but it seemed to have a problem fouling the plugs really fast, and getting the oil dirty. My machanic and i couldnt figure it out. So i just kept changing the oil cuz i thought it was just sludge in there. about 3 months later i install a turbo kit from CX Racing. and the turbo kit is doing woders. But the injectors needed to be upgraded. so i put low impadence 440 cc RX7 injectors, LPH 255 fuel pump. and its been running really crappy. Ive been changing the plugs so much lately and im about done with this motor. It seems that its gonna be an endless money pit and id rather start off with a low milage motor thats healthy enough for drift. I know that drifting isnt cheap at all, but right now im just worrying about getting the car running smoothly and i dont think this engine will perform as needed. I was wondering what you guys think would be best.. new motor? rebuild?? I figure i can just use the same turbo kit just get a diff turbo manifold and intake side IC piping for the next motor.

Thank you guys for your time i really appriciate it.

tune your car, every ka-t guy i know said you have to tune if you wanna run legit.
