ok i decided to go with the ka motor. I saw about nspeed's turbos but i don't knw if i want to buy them becasue they are not a well known company liek greddy or blitz and hks. What is the best turbo by brand and what is the best setup, Also how much will they cost?

I'm going with the XS turbo kit. It comes with intercooler and a good fuel upgrade. You can buy it for $3300. Its puts down around 230hp to the wheels, and i forget how much tq but its really nice. With a Limited Slip Differenental you should run low 13s. I'll find the page with that price and post it for you in a bit.

From what I've heard a lot of people favor the Nsport kit over FMax and XS engineering.. This is just what I've heard not trying to contradict what you said, S14Sil...

Besides, do you see an intercooler in the XS kit, &nbsp;yeah your spending alot not to get one.

Plus the FMax kits thus far are for s14's only I believe.

All the NSport kit really needs is a JWT ecu and your cooking.

From what I've read into it, the NSport is going to get &nbsp;you the best power, has a bigger turbo then the others. Company rates it at 240 hp at the wheels. Has BOV, fuel management, intercooler, etc.

I personally am going to see how Unstable Hybrids does with it's supercharger kit before doing anything myself. ####, I don't race, so I may just stay NA <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

The XS kit actually does come with the intercooler... check their webpage www.xs-engineering.com

And, if my opinion is welcome, I'd also agree that the Nsport would be a superior choice just because of the T04 turbo... to make 220-240 hp the T3/T4 turbo on the F-Max and the XS is working almost at max. compressor surge (it spools up much faster, but also runs out of steam faster), while the T04 does this in it's low/mid-range capabilty, which means a cooler charge, the cooler, more dense the air = MORE EFFICIENT! &nbsp;and if you're worried about &quot;brands&quot;, keep in mind the T04 is still a full Garrett turbocharger... enough said.

Sorry, I didn't know about the intercoooler freak, but I do think your right about the NSport kit.

It's a 95 ka with 75,000 miles on it.

If your driving a 95 you can't use the NSport kit. &nbsp;I would think the F-Max Kit would be the better one. &nbsp;It comes with new injectors and the JWT ecu and the rest of the hardwear in the NSport kit. &nbsp;The just use a slightly smaller turbo.

No the XS kit DOES come with an intercooler. I called about it. i forget how big it is but its really nice. They said the page needs to be updated. SO it does come with an intercooler, a warenty, all the fule stuff so you will not kill you KA. I and it looks the best also ask BOMEXKA24DET!

I have seen more F-Max kits actually on cars than any other kit.

konkman,

And why exactly is it that you can't use the NSport in the 95?

$20,000 for a turbo kit? Yeah, I'll pass on buying from them.

I was told this from the guys at NSport, I was curious about he same thing. &nbsp;But they emailed me back and said the tubing would need to a different shap for the s14. &nbsp;Plus I don't think the downpipe would fit. &nbsp;

But &nbsp;the NSport web site even says 91-94 240sx's.

konkman,

&nbsp; I've spoken several times to Alex over at NSport, and I've never heard of the kit only being for the S13, as a matter of fact, there's someone at the FreshAlloy forums that has one on a 97 SE and he's happy as one can be with his, he's had it since May of 2000 and still good.

www.rollhard.com has them for 3300 bucks, can't beat that!

Dude, I'm not staying that it is only for 91-94's, I was just saying what I was told. &nbsp;I don't have an nsport kit, and don't have any other info other then the website. &nbsp;But if you have talked to the nsport guys recently then you must be right.

go to http://www.enjukuracing.com/ and check out the XS Turbo Kit and the NSport Turbo Kit. &nbsp;they're both on there. &nbsp;XS Turbo kit goes for $3699 and the NSport Turbo kit goes for $3595 (it says it works 91-98) but may want to email NSport or something. &nbsp;XS kit goes for 95-98. &nbsp;but the website helps a lot.
