how the hell are u guys all running stock radiators??

i made 260 on my last ka-t and that thing would over heat within minuts at the track. fine on daily slow driving..

i had to buy after market

Just to be clear, you don't get power out of an IC
S15 sidemount are good for ~250hp
if you can track down an ARC S15 sidemount, those are said to be able to support ~300hp

S15 Core should be good just around 250whp. I'm sure you can squeeze some more but it would just start having heatsoak issues. A friend of mine made about 260whp on his S14 KAT running Greddy turbo and Blitz SMIC core.

Definitely an aftermarket radiator will be best for track no doubt about it. But since it's sleeper setup the OE looking will be better mostly for just a street car and some track. Besides most of this setup run SMIC so there is no FMIC on the front that minimize the airflow to the radiator. Certain cheap FMIC cores are also known to have very bad restriction on the fin design that causes car to overheat since it was practically robbing flow to the radiator.

How can anyone comment on how much power one will make?

doesnt matter what set up. im saying what is the maximum power a side mount s15 can handle.

i think im going to try n track down one of those arc ones then...

i want the most power possible with a stealth looking set up. trying to make a daily/track 240

since the one i have now just sits around witing for track days cuz im 2 scared to drive it on the streets anymore.

one more question ground: this might have answered it already but can you run ac with sr style ka-t set ups? i want that too..

..well if there is no intercooler in the way of your a/c components, then yes. depends on how YOU make the setup..

[GroundPerformance]

Most bottom mount setup clears AC with no issues. Just need to put in consideration the placement of the turbo drain bung so that the compressor is not on way of the oil return hose. GL!

[GroundPerformance]

You can also run RB style FMIC setup and keep the engine bay piping as the stock SR Piping. This will give you the OE look engine bay with FMIC config. only drawback is the extended piping. I'm sure with a decent spooling turbo this should not be an issue.

i love the single cam set up. are those stock sr20 piping? so freaking stealth.

[mikemontanti]

i love sleeper status...my car is not all that sleeper on the outside but under the hood it does not look all that...mostly stock haha.

[s13 @ fullboost]

Yeah having a top mount is super stealth yo

[mikemontanti]

i mean the only thing that is not a stock appearance as far as the motor goes is the turbo and piping...but i guess your right...i do wish i was a little more sleeper though

Damn bro sleeper as fuck........
Post it in the KA-T pic thread.

[mikemontanti]

ok so because i dont have a sidemount ic and a bottom mount turbo i am not considered sleeper...not taking into account the rest of the engine and engine bay (minus egay radiator) is completely stock. ok i guess...i personally dont think it looks like a 400 horse engine setup. but maybe thats just me...haha...but to each his own...

[allntrlundrgrnd]

You have a top mount with no filter and a bright pink valve color.

Wrong thread, dude.

[mikemontanti]

eh i guess so huh

[KA240SX808]

Revival....


Has any one used the S14 Cold Pipe on a KA-T Sidemount setup?
Looking for pics at how it fits.

Tell us your definition of a sleeper? Don't u think a sleeper would be like all the rest posted where the piping is close to STOCK and the biggest reason to go sleeper is so the turbo(that shiny china thing u have clear as day) cannot be seen when the hood is popped wether it be for law enforcement purposes or just wanting that look of being stock? Lmao.

[oscarsx]

I have a feeling my s13 engine bay will never look this clean -_-

[KA240SX808]

Well I hope to have mine posted in here before the end of the year.
Only thing I'm not sure I'll have is the air box.

Also looks like I'll be the only one rocking a S14 SMIC Setup also. I see everyone in here is rocking the 13 Cold pipe which I know for a good reason.

We'll see.

Truf.

Heck I turbocharged my 210,000 mile Altima and it was great for almost 20,000...only reason it even blew up was my brother decided to crank the boost controller one night when I was overseas...what a fun little 240-250 whp car.

Here's a nice sleeper KA setup for you guys that we recently did







SR manifold, KA flange (from Mazworx) for our (new) good friend Abdon. It came out SUPER slick. External wastegate may distract, but it is what it is. We can easily do these without that wastegate flange too

[matts13vert]

Yes a huge wastegate sitting right on top of the manifold may look out of place lol

I am considering going to you if i decide to go external wastegate, but is there any other location on the manifold to place the wastegate?

Just tell the ref's it's the EGR LOL

That location is really the best as you can vent from all cylinders there, as well as it being on a meaty part of the manifold. WHere were you thinking of placing it?

Does Mazworx sell the flange separately? I didn't see it on their site.

thanks.
