[allntrlundrgrnd]

[murda-c]

[Phatz]

Looks clean... If you don't mind me asking, how much did the conversion set you back?? just curious, as I have a KA in my 93 s13 and eventually want to convert it to turbo.

[PITCH]

Stealth. I like.

SR OEM piping? Sidemount? What #'s are you expecting? I may bite you style...

Thanks, pretty much all the parts I got is from doing SR20DET swaps, I do that on the side as well some customers go front mount and i'll offer money for shit I need/want easy as that.

[louisdaboois]

Looks good man! Kat's are the way to go

Your telling me, I know I wish someone made a good quality and fitting bottom mount with a T2 flange.

[bo2o]

so whats your complete setup?

xo2, t25?
side mount
stock injectors?
pump?
fpr?
safc?
ecu?

[IIIXziuR]

Very nice Charlie!

It looks super clean and very OEM, I really am fond of that sort of styling.

Is everything new or just hand cleaned with serious elbow grease?
Cuz gosh damn sir, I want my bay to look as sharp as that!

[LongGrain]

that looks super clean. +1

[cxlo8331]

looks damn clean.
well done charlie!
+1 on specs.

[UNISA JECS]

100% stock S13 KA24DE

SSAC BMM
370cc
stock FPR (no need for an adjustable one just yet)
stock S13 SMIC w/all piping
stock KA24DE ECU
stock pump at the moment (i'll change that out to a Z32 pump in a day or so)
I have a Apexi SAFCII but i need to reinstall it since I changed out my auto harness to a manual one
I have a Apexi AVCR same deal as above need to reinstall it since I changed the harness out.
I have a Apexi Turbo Timer same deal as above.
I have a Apexi GT Spec Exhaust however im not going to run it just yet.
I should be getting a Innovative LC-1 soon also.

I been using the SAFC since before most of you had your drivers license probably lol and I know from experience how to tune it although I know its not the greatest thing however for a T25 and 370cc it'll be fine, I plan on learning how to tune do my own ECU, now that this swap is out the way I can focus on that stuff.

[babowc]

Noice.
I'm building up the motor right now..
I can't wait to get to where you are!!

[Bushido]

im liking these setups more and more lately...
using sr parts on a KA...

would be nice for a daily driver.

[sunnys14]

Wheres your timing control?

Don't expect to turn up the boost very high on that T25 and SMIC on a stock KA. It will go boom in no time if you do.

10psi is max on what you should run on a SMIC on a KA, trust me.

Regarding the Dukes setup, IMHO, the reason he decided to run this particular setup was to 1/ use it as a daily driver 2/use it as a daily driver. and 3/ use it to push it around Beefed up cars that are referred to as "modified" something along the lines of this craze of KA-T's all of a sudden,Well around this forum. What no SR20/RB's coming around allowing efficient Californian (Daily Driven) development due too-(emissions, tagging-Cops or trying to find some mech-tech who'll touch it for less than the value of the chassis) I feel for all the mechs & tech's around the southern coast, but a convenient conversion completed like this kat's. .. .is fresh. its pure, and it is simple.
Ummm,yeah. I think this is why he chose the KA24T. His girl prolly loves it. Nuff Said.

GOod choice Duke.

Im not running any timing control dont really need it for my setup.

Trust me im no noob to turbo cars, did this before on a USDM spec SR20DE turbo'd back in ~2000-2001 and been driving turbo cars since then and never had one blow up on me (knock on wood) and I dont ever boost a T25 past 10psi ever, if I need more power i'll buy a bigger turbo and probably go 8:5.1 on the KA.
