hey guys, I am about to gt a DOHC ka motor for free, and I was planning on completely rebuilding it for a turbo, and I was wonder what I cant still use out of a Header, N1 cat-back, and an Injen CAI, any of them? also, what computer am I supposedto use? thanks by the way, I have a 90 240sx with the ka24e

headers-no
intake-piping no, although you could still use the CAI I'm guessing....
N1-definately yes...it was made for it.

but unless you already have the parts...don't buy them.

also...are you coming from a SOHC to a DOHC? and do you have SOHC or DOHC parts (if you have them)? cause SOHC headers and intake won't work on the DOHC....nor will the computer.

if you want to know which computer to use when you go turbo...depends. some kits come with a computer, some come with piggy back systems, and some come with no computer equipment. depends on which way you go. but your stock SOHC or DOHC computer alone will not work.

Yes, I already have the header intake and cat-back for my SOHC..... so I guess its too late to not buy.  So, I will have to buy a computer for the ka24de? what kind do you suggest for just the motor swap, and not yet for the turbo? thanks, lates

how are you getting the DE?  did the guy/gal do a SR swap..if so, they're probably not using the DE com.  either way...there's used stock DE computers out there for sell....

I'm not sure how much a new one is..but I'm sure for the cost, you might as well get an aftermarket one...

try posting some want ads on the different boards.  I'm sure you can find one cheap somewhere.

did the person selling you the DE not tell you this?
