Hey so i just bought a 91 240sx (KA24DE), Its basically all stock w/ little mods.
Looking to get about 250-300hp out of this build but dont know where to start, any help? Heard this was the place to talk to pros & stuff lol.

catback exhaust with 3in piping & twin tips
300zx brakes
6puck clutch

^What he said, KA-T. Use quality parts, even if it means saving extra and waiting a little longer. If its going to be your daily, you want it to be reliable.

KA-T, coils, welded diff, seat, steering wheel, wheels/tires...

If you want a 240 that stands out leave it alone. Put it completely back to stock. Honestly if you need to ask how to get a 240 into the 250-300 hp range, you have no chance of getting it there on your own.

Hope you have mula to spend your best bet is to just settle with an sr20det with some minor mods you might not have 250hp but you could get pretty close

He said daily driver. A welded diff is probably not the best idea.

Why are people so against daily driving with a welded diff? I've been doing it for 2 years, and there's nothing wrong with it.

and you should do whatever needs to be done that you like. your car, your choice as to what needs to be done.

search, search and...search some more. and yes, this is the place to ask for help/advice, not to be spoonfed and tell you what you need to do.
