while some may be looking for the 350 hp level... about what level would a ka-t be pretty reliable and not break all the time?
reason i'm asking is that my realistic goal is to make a car that's simply fun to drive. i'm figuring that around the 250 whp is where i will want to be. however you people are making me think that even 200 whp out of a nissan motor is dancing with the devil.
my background is in honda motors. i've seen stock GSR's and even lower end LS modle integra's run for years on 8psi of boost and pushing anywhere from 170 to 240 horsepower. what is weaker in a nissan motor that honda does better? i always figured that if i increased cooling, tuned like a mother, swapped out weak engine internals and had backups that a nissan motor would be much stronger than a honda motor. where does my thinking go wrong?
(and before someone says it i'll go ahead and say it first, "you prolly went wrong when you started with honda's." ok ok... now seriously
)
