would it be easier, cheaper, to rebuild the ka and turbo charge it or get a VQ?? Why not put a VG in the 240? could i get a 300z tranny to go in the 240?? Oh yeah keep in mind i have no knowledge of what or how to do anything... and im going to learn and learn quick.

i don't know what the compression numbers are but the last time i drove it white smoke was flowing out the back end. I want a Ka-t because i have that engine why not build it. Oh the miles are up there 227k or something but i was "told" that the last guy that had it replaced the motor.

its a KA24de

the real question is...

- Do you want a turbo KA?
or
- Do you want a VQ/VG?

* Yes, a 300zx tranny can fit with an adapter plate.
Personally depending on the condition of your KA that would be best to start there. What compression numbers do you have in each cylinder and how many miles?
