All motor 240 ideas.

Do it on a dyno dynamics.

I'd be really really curious to see how much actual ROAD power under LOAD any of these NA setups short of a crate motor from nismo make.

I'll hit you up for tuning when I finally get to doing my motor and we shall see (probably next year sometime)!

I'm so sick of arguing about what the better motor is on this thread! That's not the point here guys! The point is how to make more power from the KA! All the turbo, LS1, VQ, etc.... guys posting here should go somewhere else! It doesn't matter what anybody does with a KA none of you will ever care. Those of us that chose to build a KA are not doing it to have the sweetest motor in the world, we are doing it because that is what we want. So what if it costs more money or requires more actual knowledge and skill to do it? The whole point is the knowledge and skill! Sure I could throw an SR in, buy all the bolt on shit, with the right turbo, get it tuned, and have plenty of power. But where's the fun and challenge in that? It is boring and played out. The LS1 or VQ35 are the only engines that I would consider swapping into my car and I would keep both of them N/A and carb approved if at all possible. Unfortuanetly though I have yet to see a well done mount kit for either of those motors, which means making my own. Who cares about a little downtime? I just want it done 100% right the first time and I probably won't even be swapping a motor into my current chasis. I will acquire another s-13 (coupe this time) and build it from the ground-up 100% perfect the first time. I am officially now done with this thread! Nothing I say matters because none of you care and most can't even understand.

this thread wasnt about you, wasnt about your car or your swap plans. it was about sharing info though and you just take this all too personally.

lol @ your assessment of mount kits for the LS1 and VQ35 being so bad that you'd need to do some sort of complete redesign that might take you some unbelievably long time... rofl

I actually like the smog legal VQ35de swaps. I honestly wouldn't mind spending the $7000 to drop one in my schassis. More torque than a turbo sr or KA, and it's smog legal. Why more people aren't doing this swap beats the hell out of me.
I would rather do the VQ over LS-1 swap because of the gas mileage the VQ's make, you can't beat 26MPG on average, for 260WHP.
