yeap! it's an uneven 4 sure! go for it man, it looks kool, but ask first, just in case... and Shadow, just one thing, WOW! what do u think i should do 2 get mine pumped up? i would really apreciate any help u can give me... thanxs!

 
I guess that's the manifold i'll have to go with even though it's around $400. I swear a couple months back I saw uneven manifolds on ebay for $315, oh well...... I've got 3 cars out on the car lot I'm trying to sell, so as soon as I sell one I will have some $$$ to start buying parts.....As for the exaust, its a single pipe from the header that splits into 2 pipes near the back of the car. Figured it would look better filling in both holes in the rear bumper.....

What do you guys think of this oil line kit???? I believe it includes everything I need....

it actually includes the missing link (right hand-bottom of pic) so, i don't think I used that many fittings and lines, but, i had a big headache doing mine so i would go for it if i where u...  

I found this site that has these different downpipes for honda/acura. Not sure which one I would need but I'm just gonna post the link so I don't forget it:

I also edited my first post (main list) and added the Greddy E-Manage Ultimate. A lot of people have recommended it and after reading about it, it sounds like the best way to go.

j man if u do the turbo ill be next after seeing your results ....wonder if my manual tranny will take it 

if u follow my result u should do it right now!!!! the fun is TOO much!!!! i would recommend it to anyone...

This is a very, very off topic question but if I buy a JDM engine and transmission for my '96 240sx, will the gears be totally backwards?? Won't it come out of a right hand drive car?? Not looking into doing this anytime soon, I was just wondering....

So there gears are the same as ours? They shift top, left for 1st, etc??? I figured it'd be top, right for first, etc.

Go on youtube and watch a few bestmotoring of japan vids and see where they shift.

i remember watching some drift videos and now i remember how they shift... the same way we do...

yup, they shift from first to second to third to fourth then to fifth.....   just like we do ^_^

If you do it, I might do it too if you can get it to pass emissions or did you leave calif?


Is there anyway this can be stickied?  Lots of good infos here. 

i dont know if your car is vtec, but this turbo kit is for non vtec

http://www.advancedjdmparts.com/product.php?productid=19118&cat=299&page=1

doesnt matter if a car as vtec or not,    if the turbo manifold doesnt match up to the exaust side of the engine, its an issue with the manifold itself not the turbo

the link above says for non vtec engines

and im saying vtec doesnt matter for the turbo, 
but im sure the link could say the turbo was powered by squirrels and that would make it true as well

oh, lol
i thought you didnt look at the link

still in cali but there are a couple negotiable smog shops around here

Well most everything I listed is off of Ebay..... I added in the prices in my first post and the total came out to roughly $2225....

Thinking of dissing the turbo project and doing the SR20det swap on my '96 240sx......  ..... So confused
