Hello.. This will be my 2nd time building a KA24E-T. First one was really great that after selling it I just gotta build another. Here the link of my
first KA24E-T build. This time around the motorset I picked up could realy use the some basic rebuild. So first thing was to take apart the motor and inspect it. Motor had a good amount of sludge and timing chain guide pieces was at the pan. Compression did check out ok and bottom rotating assembly looks good. Since the build is to make a summer daily driver I'm looking to just make between 220~250whp and be stealthy at the same time. Below are some of the mods listed...

- Basic Rebuilt KA24E.
- New Felpro Headgasket.

- Replaced Front and Real Crankshaft seals.
Fuel System;

Turbo System;

- Stock SR SMIC and Airbox
Tuning;
