I'm going KA24E-T... need help to install - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

MidnightRice · 09-10-2004, 06:12 PM

hi i just bought a custom turbo kit off another KA... its a Borg/Warner GM3 turbo w/ a front mount intercooler...

i need to know where the fuel management, the boost control, and how to set up the wastegate... i am really a beginner at this... i also need to know if i have to remove the AC because the AC lines are in the way... and also there is this other thing in the way i dont know about... i think its the vaccum lines... dont know where to relocate them

if there is anyone out there that can help me install this turbo or has a full intruction on putting in this turbo kit that would be really great.... thanks!

note if you have any picutres that would be good too... PLEASE HELP!!!

the only thing is i dont know a lot about turbos and how they are put together... this is why i want to learn how to install it myself to know if anything is wrong... and thanks for the help but im not going to save up money to pay a pro...

jesus maria. if you dont know how to do it, then search, I know you didnt search, and I know you wont get all the info you need when u search, thats when u come back to the forum and then ask less generalized questions, I dont think anyone here is willing to tell you step by step how to install it, good luck.

ps-why did you buy a turbo kit if you dont even know how to install it?

I have a JWT ECU fro a turbo KA24E.. if you want it let me know PM or [email protected]

MidnightRice · 09-12-2004, 12:28 PM

thanks for all the tips... i got most of it done... since the front mount intercooler is so large i now need some hood pins... it was all pretty much easy... now for the FMU... i'll see if i need any help later... thx

FMUs are poopy.. which ratio are you using though? 6:1 is about perfect for ka-t (as good as you canget for an fmu)

i wouldnt trust an fmu though, id recmonend just some bigger injectors (NA S5 RX7 are nice) and a fuel controller. good luck -mark
