:wazzup: guys I'm new to the 240 game so i appreciate your help. So im in the process of buying my friends 89 240sx fast back. The car has the ka24e with 140k on it. The question is should i get an Sr20de non turbo swapped for $700 or should i just get a ka24de? I don't have the cash to do the sr20det + gas prices are killer right now. I'm planing of having this car as my DD, but of course I want to have some fun 
. What are the best options for me? Any sort of information helps guys Thx:feedback:
THE Dilemma
Okay let me get into more details, Right now i currently have a 1991 240sx Auto My family has had this car since 93', but it is salvaged tittle. I was planning on getting the 5 speed conversion since the auto one is slipping for about $1200. My friend is selling me his 1989 single cam (5speed) clean tittle for 1500 the only thing wrong with it is the spark plugs so he says and its a $250 job. I found an sr20de online which the guy said he will sell and install in my car for 700 and i thought to my self dang thats a steal so that's y i'm considering that swap.
I'm getting $650 from insurance money from UPS since they backed into me ( 91 240sx) in 6days. Also my friend is willing to pay me 1100 for my 91 240sx and i truly doubt i can get more for it because it has so many problems. And I have $1000 saved + $500 coming in from taxes. So in total if i sell my 240 i will have $3250 to spend in a new car.
So these Are my options:
Option 1
So I was planning on getting my friends 89' SE 240sx ka24e for 1500 and doing the sr20de swap for 700 and bomb i have a new 240 with a sr, but i keep reading on the forms that it wouldn't be worth it at all. The sr20de has less torque and hp compare to the ka, And Im trying to gain power not lose it. If i do this I will have spend $2200 and have $1050 left over for who knows what.
Option 2
I Get my friends 89' 240 for 1500 and swap my ka24de from my current 91 240sx which my dad just got swapped in for $1300 2 years ago. This was my original option, but if i do it this way I kind lose $1000 since i Don't get to sell it. So I would be paying $1500 for the car and $600 in labor to take of both engines and just instal ka24de. So I would be spending 2100 and only have $50 left over and ka24e and a 1991 240sx le salvage shell left over.
Option 3
I buy my friends 240 for $1500 and get a fresh ka24de from Purchase Your Engine From 123Engine.com for $1300 and idk how much for labor lets say ($650) and idk if they would need a new hardness because it will be going SOCH to DOCH. If i take this route I will be spending $3450 for a 89 240sx with a freshly new ka24de with 0 miles and 3 year warranty but i will be spending all my money + and additional $200.
Option 4
Is just buying my friends 1989 240sx with a ka24e for 1500 fixing its problem for $250 and have $1550 left, ive been looking at what i can do so i can get more hp like building it up but idk if its worth it in-case i do try to resale it. I actually don't mind going turbo on it, ive been looking on the forms what exactly i need to do to have a reliable DD turbo car and how much would it run me or even an all motor engine. ive been looking for guides, but theirs so much info here i can really decide what to do.
Option 5
Just keep my 91 240sx fastback and switch it to 5 speed and fix all the other problems with it, with the rest of the money which was my original plan but the car is salvage tittle the only thing it does have is the ka24de.
I know this was Long and im sorry for that, but this is my situation and i appreciate all the help and input I can get guys Ty for your time!!
