Hi everyone, newbie here.
Hi guys, my name is Matt, and I'm a pretty new 240 owner.

Its an '89 240SX XE (trunk, not hatch). So S13.

Anyway, I completely revived the KA24E that came with it (well, actually, half of it was gone), so that now its in smoothly running stock condition. The engine is refurbished @ 36k miles. I'm planning on getting a better block someday (DET?), but maybe theres some things I can do to push this one a little more. Its a solid engine, but after going to some of these meets in California, I just don't feel like popping my hood, ya know?

So should I just mod my KA? If so, what mods? I heard a turbo doesn't mix well with the SOHC setup. Maybe a short ram for starters.

Or should I just invest in an SR20 and work my way from there?

Cheers,

- Matt
