Hey guys, this thread hasn't seen much action here as of recent, but if anybody has any experience building these motors for boost I've got a build to bounce off ya. So here's my idea:

Rebuild the current motor as it wasn't running when I bought the car and will most likely need some love and affection. I've had my eyes on the Tomei Arms MX8270 turbo kit which was originally showcased in an S14 Zenki. However, considering the KA24DE was stock in the S13 SE hatchbacks (what I own), I figured the kit should work just fine in mine. Tomei does recommend using the Greddy intercooler and suction kit, but they are listed as an S14 intercooler and suction kit. So my main question before diving into more parts and specific details, is will this set-up work? I'm concerned due to this kit being designed for an S14 the intercooler may have issues fitting. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this kit in a S13 hatch?
