Swap a 200SX for a Nova Turbo? 
 
No thanks.... 
 
300-350bhp, even 500bhp, the question has to be asked... 
 
Why spend loads on fully rebuilding a turbo engine only to sell it straight away.  Also, £2k on a Phase 2 chip and turbo rebuild??????  either he's been so lubed its made him blind or he's blatently lying.  Doesn't like a brand new standard kkk turbo cost like £700???? 
 
For that reason, im out.. 
 
Depends, but if you have an S14 SX, theres no way in hell i'd swap.  If it was an S13, i'd be more interested.

It actually says all the work, which im guessing the conversion costed that much as well as EDS phase 2 and a turbo rebuild for £2k.

Nova is only going to hold its value wheres the 200 will continue to fall. Cant see the nova being a great daily drive though which you will get with the 200.

Seems a little over priced to me but I'd have it over any Japanese shite anyday.
