KA-T question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

since the death of my last 240 Im thinking about going KA-T on my new one....I only want to be at around the 250whp range since this will be my daily driver. I have been looking for manifolds and I was thinking about getting a cast manifold and a T28 or possibly a 2871r, but all the manifolds Ive been finding are for T3 housing...so can anyone point me in the right direction? also my only concern with this is that a T28 would hang too low for me to keep my AC and like I said this will be my daily so is this true? also I have been considering possibly going with a T3 with a 50 trim as an alternative since I can easily find a manifold and I already have a wastegate and dumptube from my last car. Would a T3 be a better option for my car considering my power goals?....sorry for all the questions but I figured id get them all out of the way instead of making different threads

Go with a t3/ 50 trim! it will cheap/easy and you will have lots of room to grow in the future if you decide you want more power/a different turbo. Also you will have the ease of not running coolant lines that the gt series turbos require. Thats just my opinion! good luck
