> [@TwoForty](#): > > the reliability factor is always going to be there when you boost an engine that wasnt boosted from the factory! boosting a KA the right way is going to roughly cost you the same as a sr20 swap plus you get all the aftermarket with the sr > > check out [www.240sxforums.com](http://www.240sxforums.com) theres alot info on there! :hs: it’s actually all in the tuning. There’s people punching good amounts of boost into high compression engines and churning out great numbers everyday, as long as the tune is right. Have the proper timing, and A/F ratio. I can’t even count how many B18C1/5’s I see with boost. Or LS1/LS6’s. Or even DOHC 4.6 Cobra engines (pre 03) that are running an assload of boost. But from what I heard about the NA 240’s is. Theyre just not a good platform to build from. The SR20 swap is the way to go on them. ---

The SR20 swap is the way to go on them. its not so much that they are a bad platform its just there is no aftermarket support for the engine and to make good power in a KA you can swap in the SR and get all the aftermarket for the same cost! alot of japanese tuners were swapping out SRs for KAs last time i was checkin out teh 240 forums you have other options like the ca18det or a rb25det ---

Just like if someone does a heads/cam swap on one of those new CTS-V’s. Look over and realize its a cadillac loping at you. 🙂 ---
