I've been there many times there is a small shop in the back called Mr. Injector those are cool guys there my firends Camero club used to hold dyno days there they aren't even 20 min away. There is a Acura/Honda shop next to them had some work done on my GSR there...And Dan you suck.....I should have my orders next week. there are plenty of shops around there for ya to get parts from. We gotta hook up before you leave and drink a few beers or something. i talked to them about turbo'ing the RS I had they told me we can turbo anything

So far the plan is to pick up ASAP
1) 97 or 98 240sx SE 5-speed (white, red or black)
I want to dyno the car stock. Then I'm (yes me) going to rebuild the engine with some forged pistons and have the head P&P'ed. After that I'm going to have the trany rebuilt and have all the drive line parts cryo treated.
2) Buy the Greddy KA turbo kit, intercooler and the EVO TT cat-back and install them.
I will then re-dyno the car with the new turbo kit w/ the greddy e-manage @ 8psi and cat still in.
3) Remove cat and find new engine management I'm not too hot on the e-manage. (I'd like to use the HKS f-con, but I don't know if it will work with the KA harness...I'm still looking in to that.)
4) Then finish the car
5) Drive it at any track I can.

When your ready call a place called Doug's Racing they might know somebody that does that. They are the one's with the really HIGH octane gas they used to call it "The Stuff" something like 114 octane I used to run it in my bike once in a while. You could also try a place called Delta Cams they can custom grind a cam to your specs..

The HKS 3037 is an ideal turbo for that car. You can buy a complete head from Signal and all the other stuff from them too. If you get it all you might get it a little cheaper and they stand behind their stuff. I think its cool your sticking with the KA. SRs have been done so many times. Good luck and keep us updated.

You know what would be cool? Based on the availability and relative inexpensiveness for parts for Nissans, maybe you could try out differing turbos, like small, quick spoolers and large, full-boost-by-11k rpms.

I had a 3037 on a Prelude (h22) which in theory won't differ to much from the KA and that thing hauled. My brother has it now and it's even faster. He's now got a new project started which should be sick.
