Welcome to the wonderful world of Nissan....... SR20det swaps are the most common......if you are only looking to make 230-250 you could also just turbo your KA motor.

On stock motor I wouldn't push anything more than 6psi.... as far as pricing, I'm sure one of the turbo'ed KA24 guys can point you in the right direction.

and if you want your car to be insane supra killer you can do the rb swaps like mine, but there more $$$ but the SR20DET is the most common easiest swap into a 240sx and still has potential
