ltsPureLuck's 240

just install co2 jets everywhere to cool all the metals.........

Still busy, almost done with summer school (last week). I got some parts together this month for my first bolt on. i ordered Garrett GT2560R (GT28R) turbo, S15 3 Layer Metal Exhaust Manifold Gasket, Turbo Inlet Gasket, and Circuit Sports Turbo Lines.

I'm still missing the S15 adapters so i won't have to get pipes customed and welded. Next time I'll do more research and get things together at one time. Too many back and forth trips to TF . I took "direct bolt on" literally lol

I decided to go with the S15 turbo rather than the GT2871R because of reliability issues. I'm going to stick within the 250-300hp range because of the stock bottom end. Just dont have that paper to rebuild it right now.

How much did this all set you back?
Sorry to ask a price...and all that shit, im just curious.

altogether tax'd around 1.1k, its silly how a small peice of thin metal like the turbo inlet gasket cost 20 bucks.

when TF dave showed me the S15 adapter i will need to make the swap easier, i was thinking hmm that should cost me around $50 atleast. then i asked for the price he said $120, im like wtf what kinda hobby have i gotten myself into lol

BIG NEWS

Turbo swap done. I just have no time to be working on this car, so I'm selling it. I need a comfortable DD, maybe a S2K or IS300.

Buy it!, if you find a buyer who buys it, $50 to you (paypal or in person cash), spread the word!

10,500K with rims
9K without

Very Negotiable

Add him to the list of people who bought prebuilt 240s to hop right on the wagon, only to turn around and sell them when they realize they dont wanna WORK on them. You SUCK k c, for getting my hopes up.

I want to work on it, reason why I didn't go full cosmetics off the bat. Thats why i put in turbo/manifold my first bolt on, which took me almost 1 month to do since I have no time at all.

You can call me whatever you want, but I've spent more money on my car than alot of you in 3-4 month time spam. Just shows I wanted to work on the car. I don't buy cheap knock off shit but went with quality because thats what i want in my car.

Its simple, if you dont have the time to work on your car, dont have that kind of car. I didn't know i was going to be jammed for next school year so basically I want a normal car for now.

if you're serious/dedicated, keep it and get a beater for DD. i seriously do not understand why people dump so much money into cars and then sell them. you NEVER get back what you put in.

shit happens - plans change.
Since season is almost over, I doubt that he's going to sell the car soon for that kind of money - but good luck with it.

dont sell it.

keep with the car.
