KA24DET turbo question

[yankee_TOP-END]

Hi have a big ass question, would be any problem if i put a turbo kit on my ka24de the only thing is that my s14a is automatic, is the turbo kit going to work fine with my aut s14a??

I really need your help or do I better left it N/A just motor power on the inside???

tnks!!!

[Folken]

Dude you don't need a turbo kit if you really asking

[yankee_TOP-END]

why is that? I mean, I have my engine stock right now , but I have the money either to buy the turbo kit or all the engine parts to left it natural asp.

[sr20boostn20]

if you want your car to be nice and fast you need it.

n/a ka is garbage IMO

[Gertid1]

what are you going to run turbo,etc.

[Gertid1]

and unless you're goin to tune it right and spend good money turbo is not goin to be any help all it would be is problems

[LimitedEdition]

Being Automatic has no bearing over whether or not you should go turbo.

You will have more power loss at the crank, but it shouldnt be a problem.

What turbo setup are you using? If you say SSAC or one off ebay, just save your money.

[yankee_TOP-END]

does it really matters the fact of manual or aut tranny on the turbo??

Im just begining on this turbo stuff , I was wondering if I can get some tips with my s14a automatic.

[Folken]

well it's just seems like your asking if a turbo kit will work on an auto tranny, but I love my turbo now and it was totally worth the time and money, do alil research and do it right. remember you get what you pay for, and it's hella cheaper sometimes to just piece your own kit together

[yankee_TOP-END]

my plan its to get all the pcs one by one and put them together, well now I feel better knowing that my car will do just fine with a turbo even with my aut tranny.

[LimitedEdition]

You might want to look up how much your auto tranny will hold. But judging by your post, you are going for low-mid 200's right?

Hows your torque converter?

[Gertid1]

ok i was runnin a T3 on my single cam auto unless you run low boost the stock tranny will give out

[yankee_TOP-END]

now that you menitoned , can I get a better torque converter?? , im planning to put a T25 turbo on it hoping to be on the 250's hp more o less with 7 or 8 psi , how or what pcs can I get for my tranny ? I don't want to blow it hahaha

[LimitedEdition]

Just go 5spd man. I am selling a whole conversion for cheap minus tranny.

As far as upgraded torque converter, I dont know. I dont fuck with autos.

And with a T25 laying down 250hp, expect 200-225. Get a bigger turbo if you want more.

[Gertid1]

yes just google for it lol or go to KAT.ORG but in my opinion if you plan to run a t25 is not really worth it on the KA just get a t3 and be happy lol

[Skullavera]

You clearly have A LOT to learn regarding turboing your KA. Research it first and submerge yourself in information before you buy anything or else you will just blow your motor. Seriously man, you needed to ask if a turbo would work with an auto tranny? That in itself says it all. And for 250 hp you will definitely need more than a T25 lmao.

ill agree with almost all of that

BUT

a t25 on a ka24de will get 250 hp with out a problem.

At least you're admitting you're a beginner at this and not trying to rattle of opinions/nonsense as facts, but especially if you're thinking about piecing together a turbo kit, you really need to do more research before you get anywhere.

And don't always look to upgrading your engine to be "faster." Getting a differential (assuming you don't have one), and lightening the chassis will give you an edge off the line.

Anyway, research, research, research. NissanPerformanceMag is a good place to go. Check out the Revenge of the Nerds section. It actually requires more effort to create a thread than to read and click buttons.

[yankee_TOP-END]

well yeah , like I said , Im a begginer in all this turbo thing , Im gonna take some time on buliding this thing, thank for all your help , I'll try to keep in touch, and let you all know the progress of my car !

[jholman05]

If your car is mostly stock, I wouldnt worry about putting a turbo on it anytime soon. Do springs/struts, sways, strut bars. Then brakes, wheels, tires. Then exhaust, clutch, lsd, maybe a 5 speed swap then think about boost.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Fuck a T-25, get yourself a T3/4, they can be had for fairly cheap now since everybody wants GT-series turbos now. Get a better torque converter or better yet, do a 5 speed swap, then get your turbo kit together and get a decent tune for it.

[bo2o]

do a 5 speed swap. then a turbo.

but turbo can be done on a auto car.
just get s13 cams, 300zx fuel filter, walbaro pump if yours is old, and a adapter for intake.

if you do go turbo on a auto your going to need alot of power just to get off the line. because ppl with 5spd na ka's are going to take you. civics can still take you.

I agree with all of U , I m going to make SR20DET red-top swap I think is best choice , now I know this comes from an S13 , would im going to have any problems to put it on my S14a im buying the full swap! harness,ECU,tranny,headers,etc.

[smurfgcr]

what happened to auto ka-t? you seemed so set on it... your going to throw down a lot of cash now if you want a dependable sr in your car.

[yankee_TOP-END]

well, I know I'll be spending a lot of time and money but it woll be worth it, I already have the LSD, this december I'll be ordering ,im just with this question , will be the same supports on the engine ?

[unicoladron]

before even thinking about turbo, read and understand at least 75% of this:

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...ch_center.html

[unicoladron]

and yes, the x member and the motor mounts are the same exact, use whichever ones are in better condition, or if you have the cash, get nismo hard rubber mounts and tranny mount, iyou will be happier with the nismo mounts.

that is why this engine swap is so popular/easy. everything bolts in

turboing ur ka is going to easier than swaping a sr20 , just swap 5speed drop those s13 cams in and go from there . 300hp isnt to hard to get with an ka-t

[89dc240]

Glad to hear you're goin with an SR. Couldn't be happier for ya.

[AlwaysSideways240]

Hey man u still going kat or sr i have a 95 s14 all stock expect brakes coilovers rims with a ka i was looking into a swap because of 194k miles help would be appreciated.
