Thinking about getting a 240, some questions...
I own a 96 Acura Integra LS w/an AEM intake. Pretty quick, but I am desiring something quicker, and I was originally gonna turbo the teg and autocross it, but it seems like too much of a hassle, and I need reliability. I have some questions:

1)What is a decent price for a 97-98 240SX? Mileage doesn't matter...find out why:

2)Thinking of getting an SR20DET swap, too. I would love to have an S15 engine w/6 speed tranny, but how much do these run for in comparison to, say, an S13 engine/tranny? Would it be worth it?

3)Are the later model (S14's) 240's really a lot heavier than the earlier models? Do they handle much worse or anything?

4)With the SR20DET, is it true that I could get up to 300 flywheel hp with just a 3" exhaust, larger intercooler, and chip upgrade? Heard it somewhere.

5)How much psi can the SR20DET withstand on stock internals?

6)Is it better to just stay with the KA24 and turbo it, or get the SR20DET?  For some reason, the idea of a factory turboed engine seems much more secure and reliable than adding one.

7)I live in VA, in a county that doesn't have emissions checks.  If I were to get the SR20DET, when I get it inspected (not emissions), would I have any trouble?

Thanks for all the help, guys!  Glad to find a board as good as some of my old fave Honda ones!
