I too have not found an alternate source but the
information from Ron below is very accurate. I run
stock intake with a larger throttle body of the 240SX
motor. Little higher fuel pump and matched injectors
with adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Currently
intercooled at 8 PSI and no problems (other than my
own silliness when I drive). I am going up to 12 PSI
Boost which with everyhting should put me into the
320-340 hp range.
the nice thing is everything has been fairly
bulletproof so far.
