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

10psi is max no matter what the IC or turbo setup you run for a stock KA twin stick.

Pank · 06-02-2008, 01:15 PM

are you saying you cant run more than 10psi on a kade? ever? really?

importantone · 06-02-2008, 05:14 PM

an_orange_s2k · 06-02-2008, 05:43 PM

KA240SX808 · 06-03-2008, 12:50 AM

Damn thats nice, looks like an OEM set-up, props man

Modrified · 06-03-2008, 12:54 AM

that is the cleanest KA i've ever seen.

hondanissan · 06-03-2008, 01:25 AM

clean, clean, clean....clean. props on the clean setup

turbo_dreams · 06-03-2008, 09:04 PM

Awesome build, i'm shooting for the same setup but wanted to run 14lb's daily, but may reconsider...p.s, heat shield is simple yet amazing. +1

try again! How about engine condition and tuning just someting to consider.

Better yet check out KA-T.org and post this comment.

LetsKillKevy · 06-03-2008, 10:07 PM

I like the setup... Pretty much what i'm looking to do in the near future aswell. Nice, simple, most likely reliable, and fun as hell.

ByeByeSti · 06-03-2008, 11:37 PM

+1 for a clean ass engine bay!

mistamacadamian · 06-04-2008, 01:15 AM

S13_SideWayz · 06-04-2008, 05:57 AM

dat thing is clean. bt i would like some color into the valve cover bt thats just me. and yes more than 10psi on stock motor goes KABOOM! bt theres one guy down here that has a 500+hp ka-t pretty sick.

mistamacadamian · 06-04-2008, 06:29 AM

have fun for the couple of months to a year that it'll last. KA's just dont last...and on 10lbs your just dropping the life of the motor. I ran a 13 @ 106 on drag radials on my old t25 hatch with tuned ecu, sr 370's, fmic spiking at 10.6lbs. Now i have a modded SR running low 12's...

S13_SideWayz · 06-04-2008, 06:35 AM

i dont beleive his running 10psi all day everyday.

mistamacadamian · 06-04-2008, 07:10 PM

eh its not too fast on 6, it just depends if you have the mental power not to raise it. i didnt lol

dirtdiggler666 · 06-04-2008, 08:04 PM

stock ka's are not bad with boost

its just people use a safc and

the engines got about 150k to 200k to start with

undercoverdjay · 06-06-2008, 09:26 AM

Yeah my old KA-T setup was great
T25
XO2racing.com bottom mount manifold
FMIC
SAFC
11lbs fidanza
SPEC Clutch
SR 3inch DP

My setup ran GREAT, however a T25 is quite a bottle neck in the upper rev band. I found the car started to fall flat around 5,500 RPM. A GT28RS on a healthy engine and a PDMracing.com tuned ECU and BPUs will net you 300whp without a problem.

JohnJohn86 · 06-06-2008, 10:15 AM

Nice and Clean. Exactly what I want. Do you think you can do my car?
pm me how much

eclipse_dsm · 06-06-2008, 10:15 AM

Key thing about KA-T is tuning. I have been running t25 from 8~11 psi for a year and personally that snail is too small for a KA. I now have a T28 and still somewhat small but at least it doesn't choke on the top end.

UNISA JECS · 06-06-2008, 01:05 PM

Yea diffenantly the T25 is much to small for the KA24DE.

UNISA JECS · 12-23-2008, 08:01 PM

Just thought i'd bump this and report that the KA-T is still running strong as ever and gets good gas milage, gotta love NISTUNE, been up towards Sacramento and back (~770 miles round trip for me) atleast 20 times since turbo'ing my KA.

SilviaSR20DET · 12-23-2008, 08:32 PM

Dang great news then, congrats! Is this the same tune that your using, the one you posted on the nistune thread awhile ago? Any changes to the bin?

pondmotorz · 12-23-2008, 08:33 PM

Props on the clean setup still running strong
