Oh and here is a pic of my bike (and ol lady) and no there is no fur on it just $5000 worth of paint.... Its different on both sides, 8" stretch, sway arm doubles as air tank for air shifter, all kinds of cool shit. I just want to do something crazy with my new toy any help from people that already have done shit to a 240 would be a + in my book

Are you Ready.... This is for stunters. Why repaint your bike when you dump it when you can go to the local fabric store and buy some crazy ass zebra striped shit or bear fur or leopard fur. And yes I am subject to this craze also I will post a pic of my last bike that was all furred out so you can get a good laugh. But it was cool as hell and fun to get a look at. Especially when my buddys mom has a scanner and was hearing about a chase one night that a cop was in a high speed chase with a zebra...... 178mph and I never saw him again. Needless to say I changed the fur the next day.... Again also with the old lady she loves the camera.... Not so good pics though these were in the gerage with shitty light.... LOL!!!! |

You may need to refresh after the animation.. something wrong somewhere and I'm too lazy to figure it out. No pics, but you can kinda tell it doesn't have to be a ricer car. -Jeff

anyway, ok... i'll try to make a decent contribution... i would go with an SR if i was you...for the following reasons: the KA does have potential, but the money you would spend getting it to reliably handle the turbocharging (i am basing this off the avg age and mileage of 240s around here) would be more then it would cost to put an SR in the car..i say this because if it was me i would not simply slap a turbo on a n/a motor with 120-140K+ miles...i would want to build internals and work on fine tuning the engine management system...this takes time and money...the time, honestly, is more important to me then the money...since it can be done for about the same price if you seriously bargain hunt..but the effort and time is money to me.. granted, the KA-T with simple FMIC, Exhaust, Intake, etc will produce more hp and tq vs a stock redtop SR...but with minor mods i like the SR's ease over the KA-T...there are not as many variables...replacement parts are pretty available these days and SR's are decently reliable and quite tunable for more HP should you want it... so i would choose the ease and quickness of the SR over the KA...then again i never did have much patience for anything...  good luck with it... edit: and yes, my car was a POS..  ..my next one will be too.. |

I slapped a turbo onto a 70k mile KA with no additional fuel, no ecu, no intercooler, nothing and ran 4.35psi for 6 months until the wastegate line blew off and I overboosted. I'll bet that for the $2200 in turbo parts I bolted to my engine (stock exhaust, stock everything but a turbo hanging off it) I would have made (reliably) what a stock redtop would have made. About 180-190rwhp. Orion made 250rwhp on a $2k kit with a hacked MAF. Ace made somewhere near there too. It doesn't have to be expensive. The elusive 400hp club is what gets expensive. As it does with an SR. And then bring up Enjuku at 544rwhp, or Secret Services with 539.4rwhp. And Enjuku has a few spare engines laying around for the race season, as does SS, becuase they know they're on the brink of destruction. SS doesn't know how long the sr will last, but is building a replacement as we speak. NOT A KA v. SR THREAD! Just saying, it doesn't have to be as expensive as you think. -Jeff
