High 14sec NA KA

[98koukile]

Well I hope whoever neg repped me for calling the KA a motor got everyone else in the thread too, sorry its an "engine". And for anyone thinking I'm just a boost happy 240 owner, mines NA and I love it that way. I was just stating that dollar for hp, boost is the obvious winner. As for my second point, if you're staying NA for legal reason, like my car is OBDII, why not just make it legal for when you need a new sticker, its easy enough to swap parts out... or is that just part of the challenge? I'm not sure how other states are, but MA doesn't really care between smog checks

That was my point exactly.
I was taught old tricks from the datsun L series owners back when I was young. I know how to magically pull lucky charms numbers out of the KA and it doesn't take alot of modifying. People that give up on this engine obviously didn't do there research or follow basic fundamentals. GT3 owners quote this engine as being the dominate engine in GT3.
So to hear options coming from people that don't really go through building with this engine just need to sit down, shut up and listen and let the guys that actually do, do all the talking.

Modest much? haha. Pulling power out of a motor for the quarter mile isn't always doing internals and shit. A lightweight flywheel, driveshaft, rims, pulleys, electric fans, these are all things that will take a 15.1 car and pull a 14.8 out of it. If you want high revving though, leave the crank pulley alone, the extra weight is better at preventing resonance and vibration making it better for your bearing at those rpms. Being more into sprint cars than street cars there are infinite ways to make you faster, find the biggest rotating masses you can, and lighten them. You wanna be faster, cut your parasitic loss by 5%, and it's ok to count in oz's instead of lbs sometimes

I can read just fine thanks. I quoted your post in my reply to give context to what I said.

It all came from you.

Don't talk about something you haven't done. You threw money at a problem you couldn't handle.

"Let's try to make some NA power from dis hur KA motor"
"wait, i dun sucked it all up"
"fuck it, LS time!"

I said I "looked" into NA/KA I didn't end up investing any money in it because my power goals kept going up and ended around ~400ish

I still don't see any where in this thread where I said turbo charging the KA would be more reliable by the way. It's not even in the post you quoted...

You need to build the head to the point where you can rev it to 8.5k and actually HOLD the power band up there. Once you do that, you'll be making decent power.

As far as power to weight goes, yeah, you can make a low hp car quick in the quarter mile if you shave tons of weight, but just keep in mind that the faster you go, the less it power/weight matters, and thats when aero and just pure horsepower starts taking over.

For example, my car weighs in a bit over 2600lbs, and I'm putting down 227whp. I can pull on a lot of heavier, higher horsepower cars down low, but when speeds aproach triple digits, they start pulling away. EVEN THOUGH I have a slightly better power/weight ratio.

Also you have to keep in mind that nowadays there are Camrys, and Accords that can do the quarter mile in the low 14 second range. It's a bit discouraging for NA ka guys.
