"Project Direction" Question.

[thx247]

My goal with my current 240sx is 350hp, via KAT.

Coming into this type of project I have NO experince tuning. None whatsoever. I am of reasonable intelligence, I have patience, I know when to lurk on the forums, and when to ask questions. I also have another daily driver to get me to work and back. I've got tools I either own or can rent, and a garage to work in.

Taking all that into perspective: What would you guys suggest I do when it comes to building my engine-- Should I make my first turbo project goals small? Or is it feasible that I buy all the parts I need to make my goal of 350rwhp, and shoot for the moon.

I would rather buy parts to make 350rwhp once, instead of doing what many other people seem to do which is slowly build up a monster car, selling parts as they become less than usefull. (upgrading injectors, turbo, SMIC to FMIC...piping.. etc etc)

What do you guys think? Is it possible to jump right into the deep end of the pool or should I play in the shallow end and try to learn to swim where my feet can still touch the ground?
