how fast can i make a 240sx?

[confused individual]

i really like the way the latest model 240sx se looks.  but i see there horse power and it doesnt seem to impressive for a car barely under 3000lbs.  right now i am driving a 1999 civic si(which has more hp and is lighter than the 240) but its my brothers, and i need a car of my own.  what can i do to make this car FAST but still carb legal(no swaps)  is there a carb legal turbo that can be added?  and how much will intake exhaust and hedders add to the 240sx?

[Nismos14]

Just buy parts that are Carb exempt. Most big names in america make carb exempt parts. AEM etc.

Technically a swap out of USDM Z Twin Turbo would be carb legal, though the Z would have to be newer than the 240sx, so that would cut out the newest style 240sx.

Realistically though, there's not a lot you can do until they come out with a CARB legal turbo which hopefully they will later this year.
