So, I figured I would share my other passion with you guys.
My 1989 "pignose" Nissan 240sx. This will eventually be a drift car. It isn't on the road as of yet, but should be by next thursday.
specs:
SOHC KA24e Engine (140hp stock)
Automatic Transmission
Pace Setter 4-2-1 header (+5-10hp)
custom exhaust
ractive muffler
Gutted rear (seats, spare tire, molding, ect.)
Total HP at the moment is about 145-150. I am doing a swap to a newer DOHC KA24de engine to build up to about 250-300hp. Or more!
Wthout further adue, pictures of it. :)

Nice. My husband just put a red top in his cousins 240 (1991).
We're into Honda's (not civics), but for a long time he wanted to build up a KA turbo setup.
Good luck with it.

I would love to have a RB26DETT or a Black top. Hard to get in the USA though, I will need to go to Canada to get the engine.

just get it shipped.
My husband does custom performance builds and motor swaps, mainly for Honda's, but he's done it for Nissan's, Toyota's and Suburu's as well and we've had a ton of motors shipped from different countries. The shipping fees usually aren't too bad if you can get it shipped freight and delivered to a shop (just tip the owner and he'll let it slip by).

I found a company in the USA that sells RB's and SR's they go for about 2-3k but not bad considering you get the whole wiring harness, 5-speed tanny, engine, and turbos. Guess what I am saving for now. What kind of Hondas does your husband work on? Any pictures of his swaps and builds?

His specialty is Preludes. He's got tons of pictures somewhere got to find them. His big thing is turbo's on 1997-2001 Honda Preludes because a lot of work has to be done to get any power out of them.

Had a zFreaky Fast car when I drove OTR called I had the Coin to feed it and afford it also. 92 Z34 wit a GM Performance Chip installed. Then the former Owner really got crafty and shoved a Whipplecharger under the hood of it also. Chassis Dyno had it at 420HP at the front wheels. Thing ate 2255/60/R16 for dinner. Never forget the face on the guys with the Rice Rockets that would laugh at it at a Stop light. When they were seeing my tailights at teh end they were not laughing as much. Top end on it Straightline was over 150 did that on a track.
