Sup guys. Ive had my 91 240sx for acouple of years. Im just now ready to throw some money at it so Ive been checking out the swaps. I have the bodykit in mind but Im still looking looking into the engines. I know 240s are great for drifting but the bottom line of this car is going to be a day to day driver. I wont be taking it out to the track every weekend, But i still want a nice ride with some power under the hood. Im leaning to the sr24det's, and am expecting to spend about 5k for the install n' all. I'd like to find one for sale in the houston area, so I wont have to hassle with a high shipment cost. I know theres alot of great swap tutorials but I havent been able to find one that gave me the "Stock To Sr24DET" product list. Also, I need some information on the tranny. I dont want to leave it stock, might as well replace it... If anyone can share some advice. ( I went to the sr24det faq sticky, didnt see much info for someone as low level as myself, got over my head kinda quick ) Im basically staring at a stock 240sx, s13. Its not an se, kinda plain looking. ( Im either getting the Vader or Shogun body kit, if you know of one that might be better looking, please lmk )

I'd appreciate any help or even just some links to some nice (english) catalogs/online for the 240sx. I'm not sure what all to use where, whats prefer'd and whats critical to use. I'm ready to start throwing some money into it like I said, I just need a lil direction. thanks.

It's a SR20DET not 24. The stock engine is KA24DE.

keeeeeeeep it KA..............sr24det engine doesnt exist..... unless japan whooped it out of their ass last nite...

spring shock combo, some nice wheels, and a kit other then the horrid one u listed will be good... get a vlsd.... wouldnt suggest turbo since ur not very car savy ...its just future problems for u... and we dont need another person in the tech section posting "whats wrong with my car, and how come i got a ref ticket?"

all things can be found at tougefactory.com and other vendors in the link section.. have fun good luck
