Thanks for that. And at 200+hp240sx: When I say cheap. I don't mean half assing. I know rebuilding the d16 and going turbo will cheaper than going b-series, paying for installation (Because I surely can't do it myself.) and then going turbo. I've been researching a lot about boosting the d16 and I know with my budget I should be able to get about 200whp out of it by next summer. That's all I'm really looking for, because I still need it to be somewhat reliable. Unless I have cheap car by then, I'll be driving the Teg around everyday.
