Had some serious problems with the tune on my new injectors. somehow the TPS wasn't giving me any voltage. long story, but it's all fixed now. I had to modify an LS throttle body with an OEM adjusted TPS, and it cleared up that problem. Now that it idles, i'll go for some street tuning later when my girl gets home. hopefully I can make a 15psi ripper vid tomorrow.

The plan right now is to setup this car as daily driver friendly as possible, while keeping it boosted.. that means removal of the bigger injectors, turbo, etc. being replaced with those closer to a 300whp factory performance. The sinktrap was sold, and profit was made on it.

a log manifold from weir was purchased to accommodate the A/C compressor, power steering is a joke in my car, so it will remain absent.

also, purchased a set of 450's, so i can throw my old tune of, which drove like a stock car.


All the good stuff will be added to the 240sx, and eventually it will become my daily driver, and this coupe will be sold in N/A form, since people looking for a 4banger civic don't really care about the turbo stuff.

I will update this once it's back to a comfortable ride, just to conclude this thread, and a KA24DE thread build will start.

What trim should I get for the torque-less b16?? 50?? my old 57 trim wasn't bad at all.
