Project: 240SX...Commence!

[Road Pirate]

Thanks! The civic will be in my possession soon.

Update: I've ordered my RPF1's, just have to wait a month or two to get them. So in the meantime, I'm piecing together a turbo kit for the KA24 haha. Figured what the hell, lets boost while I wait, maybe hit up some track events before the summer ends.

I'll post pics asap.

this. I'm sooo jelly.

 

[Road Pirate]

Hah, nah not a ton, I make pretty shitty money, I just budget well. I have hardly any bills also, no credit cards, no insurance (my business pays for it), no cell phone (business pays for it)

So I have some extra money at the end of the month

 

[Road Pirate]

So we FINALLY got my roomates car running...runs f'n amazing.
Then we took some pics!

agreed 100%

 

[Road Pirate]

ouch =/


lol all in time, still have only owned the car for 2 months!

Its not that i dont like 240's, but I swear whenever I decide to look for one they are the most riced out POS's ever, on par with most super riced civic's. Glad to see you cleaned this one up, I read through the first couple pages and the intial first pic my first thought was no f**king way would i have bought that. You have done a good job man keep it up

Thanks man! I do have to agree though, most of them are just wannabe drift queens that are beat up and riced out. I wanted something I can get sideways, yet have a clean car while doing it!

So UPS, FedEx, DHL AND USPS all stopped by today. Haha...here's what they dropped off!
Full setup...Votion FMIC, couplers and clamps

Votion Oil lines and fittings, sandwhich plate and SR injectors

Godspeed top mount mani, EMUSA t3/t4 and wastegate (will be swapped with a TiAL here soon)

I would be the last person to rock a off-brand turbo, but from what my friends are saying and reviews online, these turbo's are properly balanced unlike others, and get good power gains and last awhile. For the price, I figured I'd try it! If the KA does better than I wanted too, I'll upgrade to a Garrett later on when this thing takes a crap.

jesus god im excited! i declare there must be a race of you and your roommates car!

 

[Blood_Shot]

hey if you get them tuned well those KAs are no joke, youtube has a dozen guys makking 400whp on stock internals, and lucky you if it pops they are the price of a case of keystone (I do not drink keystone)

 

[Road Pirate]

Thanks guys. I will be racing my room mate for sure, we gotta see what the difference in price is really getting him

My buddy is going to be tuning it right after install, so I have very high hopes for this car. Especially since the motor has low miles, always maintained, no leaks, doesn't smoke, etc. Should haul ass!

I ordered my turbo fittings and Walbro fuel pump yesterday, now all I need is a battery relocation and the chip for the ECU and it's go time

 

[pmac193]

Booooooooost!

 

[civhatch92]

Holy s**t, I've never seen anyone order as many parts as you do.. in such a short amount of time. You most certainly do not mess around. This build just got super intense!

 

[sohclubkid]

boosted truck motor FTW

 

[zachkelly]

god damn this car is so sickK! looks great and so does your roommates. what kind of power did he end up getting?

Haha, I try! I had been saving for tires, but then I just said f**k it and bought boost. It will let me enjoy my car till I can get my wheels on there

boosted truck motor FTW

Yes sir!

god damn this car is so sickK! looks great and so does your roommates. what kind of power did he end up getting?

Thanks man! We haven't dyno'd it, but my guess is around 220WHP or around there. Once it's tuned on those HKS cams he has, it will pull hard!

 

[mymmeryloss]

y dont u get ur ass down here and get my truck running so we can have some sideways fun in it too?

 

[Road Pirate]

Once i get my boost and wheels on, I may take a trip down there so we can go sliding! haha. Just get almost everything done on your truck, so I can sit there with a beer and a smoke and spectate. LOL

Well got my last few things in the mail for boost

Then I showed up at work today to see two big white Enkei boxes, and freaked out! These bitches got here MUCH faster than what I was told. I was expecting them to take until mid-late July!

These wheels will be going on the rear. They're 17X10 +18

There's a stamp on the side of them also, they were made on June 2nd. Very new
