I'm seriously contemplating going to my bank and withdrawing the funds needed to turbo my 95 S14, but here's my situation:
1) I live in California
2) I daily drive my car
3) I have a high mileage engine
With that in mind, the logical choice for me would be the Greddy turbo kit, since I've read that it's CARB legal and designed for stock/mild KA24DE's. That CARB part is super important for me since I drive my car on the streets everyday, to and from work and school and my girlfriends house =)
As for mileage, it's pushing the 160k mark. She still runs rgood and pulls strong, but I know that I'm going to have to replace/rebuild the engine to get it ready for the turbo kit. Aside from the standard rebuild procedures (compression check, gaskets, etc.) a lot of people I talked to recommended Ross pistons for a KA-T and ARP headstuds. With that Greddy kit, am I missing anything else? I'm talking internals during the rebuild. I don't plan on going high boost or anywhere past 250hp - what I'm trying to achieve is a reliable, driveable KA-T that's also (???) CARB legal. Will internal strengthening affect this?
Note: I posted this on 3 different message boards to get as much feedback as possible; if you see this same post on another board, now you know why
