The last time we tested this 240SX (dyno and track) we felt a loss of power after a few passes. The culprit was the side-mount intercooler tucked behind the bumper on the driver's side. We drilled holes to direct more air to the tiny aluminum box, but when the turbo is forcing hot exhaust gases through it, there's only so much it can do-even just touching it, you'd burn your hand. A front-mount intercooler upgrade was a must to get the SR-powered 240 running more efficiently. Since this is a budget build-up we sourced out the new GReddy Spec M front-mount intercooler kit. The bar-and plate design makes the kit more cost effective, but the results are still substantial.
