Sick build man! Im from cincy but I live in Louisville now. Im up there all the time though. Glad to see a Ka-t being built right and the whole car for that matter! Keep it up man, and I hope to see this thing out on the road soon. You said its gonna be a drag car right? Taking it to Edgewater?

ID2000s should be here soon and finish up the little things like vac lines and finish my turbo feed and fuel lines and then off to the dyno at tpr hopefully in the next few weeks...
BIG THANKS TO ROB @ TOTAL PERFORMANCE RACING FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND DOING A AWESOME JOB AT GETTING THE PARTS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS BUILD WORK.. For sure the best place to go for aftermarket work in the Cincinnati area...

as for the above, if you're referring to your intake manifold.. dont paint it. shot peen it, it will look super nice. thats what i did to all my parts, blasted them clean and then shot peened them, it seals the metal real well and gives them a clean shine.

only grips if anything, the roof needs to be black (paint, not that vinyl shit)... the spec clutch... and uhm, nothing. nothing else to say, just good job.

i like the puppy dog too

Thanks alot for the positive support... It means alot... as for the roof I think I am gonna paint the whole thing black and not just the pillars.. the more i see some cars the more I like it..

and for the manifold I did paint it somewhat just a light dust kinda its only temporary.. I plan on getting a gato mani but It eliminates the iac and stuff but I kinda am just trying to throw it all back together for now before i have to many things to figure out if i have to do some troubleshooting....

gato mani below and ill use a q45tb

bad move bro.

twin turbo the research first. That will help you decide on what you want. All the motors can take that number. Ka,sr,rb,1j,2j,ls..... any of them.

Well there is nothing like signing on and seeing your thread bumped lol Well I guess when your not expecting to update it yet... Anyways ill give you guys a little idea where im at.. car is almost on the road its been a long year finally moved back home to florida but the car is still in ohio at the moment. just got a job down here so it will be finished hopefully by the end of jan and I am so ready to go drifting lol to many cars down here that I can enjoy.

ended up selling the peak boost mani because it sat way to high. so I went with full-race of course

well I had Christmas in like Oct





still needs a roll and pull and some slammage but you have to start somewhere





For a little I thought about doing a rear mount turbo system lol






DONT FORGET THIS IS HOW THE CAR STARTED yea its been slow but doing what i can do to not cut corners and make sure things are done right or not done at all.

Yea it all comes down to what you want.. It comes down to you picking a platform and then filling all the spots for the things it needs. the strong internals the good fueling and make sure you dont skimp out on tuning. but besides that there is so many options of engines or what ever out there
