Yea, it is a ka24e motor. I have a 93 4x4 hardbody. A couple years ago i saw a hardbody with a 944 turbo motor dropped in it, it was long before i got into the porsche world...i wonder if i can find the link....Problem with doing much to the truck is that the rear end weighs literally nothing, so keeping the tires planted could be a problem...that and the fact that the trucks aren't worth crap, so it is hard to justify dumping much into them....i am waiting for mine to die so i can leave it on the side of the road....only it won't die, lol. I Have seen a lot of 4.3L chevy motors dropped in them as well.

Hey Ian -- The Conquest/Starion have alot more then drivabiltiy problems. Just about every problem possible they have
Daniel, I was looking into picking up a SOHC 240SX and doing a low boost turbo setup last year..seems so cheap. I'm looking into it again and just remembered this site:
