A friend of mine told me that i should not turbo a stock KA24DE that has 160 XXX miles on it as it probably wont hold much past 3-4 lbs of boost for any length of time and its my DD/fun track car.... what do you guys think? im looking for 250-275 RWHP?

thanks for the input.

There is no problem boosting a KA even at 160 XXX if the motor is in decent shape. Do a compression test first. You can run a setup between 7-10psi DD if it's well tuned. Even if your engine dies on you, for the price these engine are sold, it's a joke compare to SR's or other engine that fit's 240sx engine bay, that's why I have few spare engines in the garage
