interesting thread here... i've owned my 240 for nearly 4 years now (91 se stock) and ive wondered the same thing for basically the entire time ive owned it..whether to swap or rebuild and turbo. i think the swap is too much over the top and not to mention way over done. ka-t is definatly picking up and ive seen online a lot of kats pushing high hp. i think you could have this motor built for 4k if you knew the right people. bolt on kits and some block work along with some nice air mods you probably could do it. but like some of the guys are saying, the 240 is seriously way too addicting of a car. if you go this far there is no turning back and it will consume you every day. if you arent willing to dedicate yourself to it, sell it, but if you are going to spend 4k on a ka-t built motor then you are putting yourself in a position to find out what next you can do to it. another swap ive noticed a lot of people over look is the 300z motor. i dont know exactly how much work is involved or how much the the price is but its around 300hp i belive with the turbos stock. i havent looked up on any write-ups on it so i dont even want to begin to talk out of my ass, but its another option w/o crossbreeding motors. i think your best option would be to sell it cuz in the end you will be looking at a lot of money and a lot of time, it wouldnt be a 'done deal 4k' thing. good luck tho with whatever you decide. your mileage for that motor is way too high to put on some bolt ons and expect high hp without tossing some internals.
