deadpirate · 12-01-2006, 12:08 AM

if u want quick power...with not to much money...get an exhaust, new intake, upgrade the spark plugs and wires, new pullys, new distributor cap, ground kit would help, new headers...i recommend megan racing

dont listen to these guys, they love raggin on noobs

OptionZero · 12-01-2006, 12:13 AM

yeah, get all those bolt-ons for an extra 10 fuckin horsepower. That's gonna help.

What you really need is this guy:

I hope you find that power, maybe you'll kill yourself sooner.

Ughhh... if you got the car to be fast, and you're poor. GOOD LUCK.

A Spec Products · 12-01-2006, 12:51 AM

Haha you guys are mean.

Focus on cleaning it up first, and fixing the necessities.

Then do the car in a logical order, power is the last of your worries at this point.

And if you need more help, start with suspension then work from there.

Or just get nitrous and call it a day.

Because thats how long its going to last

s13silvia03 · 12-01-2006, 02:21 AM

240's are slow stock, just fix whats wrong with the car, your probably only making like 90hp, and then worry about adding power. Also, I doubt anyone is "hating", if you purchased a stock 240sx because you heard they were fast, someone obviously lied to you.

drifter808 · 12-01-2006, 02:29 AM

this kind of question should be an instant lock thread.

but im gonna help, get nitrous. the cheapest way to make easy horsepower. Just blow up the engine and find a lower mileage one or go turbo.

kY.gordon · 12-01-2006, 03:14 AM

if you want power, your not going to find it on that engine.
