240sx and altima turbo

[Proud Galant Driver]

im looking at a kit thats for the 240sx but i have an altima. we both use the same engines but the 240sx the engine is sideways. could i still use the kit? the only thing that prob wouldn't work would be the downpipe and intake piping am i correct? or would some of the lines be different too?

have you tried nissanforums.com?

the whole setup would be off being that the motor for the 240 is transversley mounted..

yea and that'd be a waste of money seeing that the downpipe and intake/intercooler piping is gonna cost sum loot (for quality pieces) if u dont have a hook up

u can also consider a motor swap (bluebird sss- sr20det fwd :twisted: )

BOOOO... no motor swap...
turbo the hell out of that KA and run it like a dog

the KA is a monster you dont need a turbo to be quick with I/H/E/P and a 75 shot you can run faster than a 14.5 with a good driver. if your set on getting a turbo get a F-max turbo. back when i had my alty i was going to go turbo before i got my galant but they told me not to get over a stage 2 with out getting stronger internals go to altimas.net they have a huge forum

Save up and turbo the beast...14.5 isnt necessarily that fast based on todays standard of cars

hey PGD, turbo mine while you're at it 8)

Uh, you can do that with just about any motor worth a fuck.

The motor isnt transverse the motor is rotated 90 Degrees in the engine bay it goes front to back not side to side Transverse is a motor that is rotated 180 Degrees I.e a 7g motor is transverse from a 8g motor, opposite side of the car, but still faces same direction.

Aynway on topic, you can boost that motor or do a SR20 swap. Honestly though you can get the SR20DET motor and tranny for like $3,000 shipped. Your gonna spend close to that on turbo kit, so in my opinion its a better way to go since the motor stock is built for boost and has alot of aftermarket support
