1989 Nissan 240SX SE S13 Hatchback.  Body is a 6/10, it's got is dents and dings, it’s a drift beater and looks it.  Interior is 7/10, dash is cracked and the drivers seat has got the bolster wear common in these cars.  Otherwise the interior is in good condition and complete.  The power windows, mirrors, locks, and seatbelts all work.  As does the heat and AC. Legit HID conversion.

I rebuilt the motor NA and drove it for about 5k miles before turbo charging.  I’ve driven it about 15k since. My goals were only for 300HP or so.  Engine management has been my issue from day one. I have two Enthalpy tuned ECUs, one for my set-up with the N60 MAFS and one for a N62.  It runs incredibly rich on either ECU.  Not verified on a wideband, but the black smoke under hard throttle is a good indication, and I have a narrowband gauge installed.   I have an Innovate LC-1 wideband gauge kit which I have not installed, it and both ECUs and MAFS come with the car.

 

It bogs under acceleration until it reaches operating temp, and over 4k RPM if you just floor it.  Easing on the throttle and acceleration is smooth well into boost until redline.  It's got to do with injector scaling and temperature correction.  Like I said, I drive it practically every day, and it’s really quite civil.  It’s just a b-tch when it’s cold.  Can be corrected with a SAFC, but for what the NEO costs, I was planning on going NIS-TUNE.

 

Other issues:

Flex coupling on mid-pipe is worn through (crossing the speed bump everyday at work)

Exhaust leak (turbo to manifold gasket)

Taking the radio out

 

All the parts and extras I have for it will come with the car:

All ECUs (I have two socketed, one not)

The LC-1 Wideband and exhaust mount (NEW)

Hatch cover and Stock tails

Complete Timing Kit – leftover from rebuild, that kit came with one also

Fiberglass Fender Flares (NEW, never installed)

Some other misc things I can’t recall (I’ve got a box full), but all my 240 stuff goes with the car.
