Dynos have actually proven eBay intakes to be the most effeceint in adding power/tq on the KA24DE engine...

Somebody had to say it

HAHA great you thinking i'm knocking on ka's because i said an intake won't do shit. Yeah buy an SR or dont even try to get power. What the fuck ever. I never said that or implied its no use to get power out of the ka. You can get power out of the ka but $200 for 5 whp is fucking retarded. Goddamn I love being a newb.

$200 for 5hp is retarded yet $2500 for 50 isn't?

200/5 = $40/hp

2500/50 = $50/hp

And this is assuming you only pick up 5hp from an intake and I've seen multiple dynos where people picked up near 10.

its all in ppls budget... not everyone can shell out 2500 dollars and have that sr swap. some others accumilate parts to build a ka-t.. others well they're just bloody out rich and place that srswap on a cc.. oh well intake or not it doesnt matter to me... suspension brakes and wheels should be first then any power added...just my opinion..

That 50 hp is just the baseline and then you build on that. If thats too much turbo a ka. Save your money. Ive seen turbo ka's set up for around 1000 bucks. Then you have some power. Think about it. Why get intake at all? For more power right? So save up, have patience and get 100 more to the wheels. Because Ive never felt the 5 hp difference on any friends car after they got intake.

Doesnt matter, if you have a low budget i'd buy other stuff first. Speed costs (crazy cliche guy).

You want power cheap then get nitrous. Seriously.

RBS14 · 01-27-2005, 09:10 PM

All I'm saying is that turbo isn't the only option for our cars. KA's actually make good N/A power when done right. I guess I should be a Hachi guy, loving N/A and all, but I hate those damn things. haha.

Besides, the best intake for a ka24de is......

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I'll admit, Russ' intake was the inspiration for my setup...but mine was much beter engineered and made...unlike his PVC tubing and sock filter!

Seriously, here's an old pic of Russ' setup I had saved on the HD:

And I made mine from 3" mandrel bends, cut and welded by yours truly.

Can you make one for me?

bing · 01-27-2005, 10:12 PM

the onyl way you will notice a difference is if your current filter is old and dirty...

just get a maf adapter and through a good K&N cone on there...
