Sleeper KA-T Photos. Post them up!!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I know we have threads regarding chassis and engine bays. I figure start one specifically for Stealth KA-T setups. This is all about being sleeper status regardless of how much HP your making. Hopefully this will be able to help future KA-T guys. Quick specs are optional just pics. Enjoy..!!

ZilviaKid · 04-30-2011, 05:20 PM

iamtheyi · 04-30-2011, 05:46 PM

I disagree, headers too high n shiny. cop will point at shiny object and will bust out their binder or immediately notice the snail that it's sitting on. then a fun trip to the referee! (atleast how i imagine it'll go down in CA).

also the dial thing for what im assuming is the fpr, and the red amp wire brings too much attention.

just my opinion. swap is very very very clean. but it's not very sleeper.

jesse_s13 · 04-30-2011, 06:50 PM

Good god these are clean setups.

ZenkiKid · 04-30-2011, 06:55 PM

matts13vert are you the one who cut up a oem sr20 turbo mani to work on a ka24de?

Yes I am, OP got it done by the same guy that did mine as well. Still using his manifold and not one problem since.

Hopefully I can join this thread sometime soon. Nice bays guys

'97 S14 SE Turbo · 04-30-2011, 08:59 PM

Very nice! Like what you guys are doing with the OEM look! If something like this was readily available back in the days, there been more KA-Ts out there.

Making me tempted to do that to my DD S13. Love the OEM look. Is there a thread where most of the info on the modified SR manifold exist?

Check out my build thread.

http://zilvia.net/f/chat/358251-matt...fold-used.html

I agree the tubular manifolds are a dead giveaway. :/

hellion240sx · 04-30-2011, 09:23 PM

the clean stock look is just simply amazing!

!Zar! · 04-30-2011, 09:29 PM

To the people using tubular manifolds and posting it in the sleeper thread, you are failing.

And aren't there companies selling iron ka-t manifolds on ebay for like $100 now?

'97 S14 SE Turbo · 04-30-2011, 09:37 PM

And not to mention the melted brake master cylinder reservoir...

haha you guys are both wrong, I got 3 years on the engine you see in that picture (its been a daily driver that drives almost 700 mile round trips twice a month up north towards sacramento) without one single problem, there was a heatshield that I made for the manifold and a custom heatshield for the BMC, I put alot of thought into my setups, those pics arent of the final setup lots of things changed. Oh yea it gets over 420 mile per tank full.

well im just saying its a risky move

but the way i drive they would never hold up ik from past experiences when i first got in the game in 07-08 and built a ka-t u melted the same kind of oil return u have on there in the first week

Been in this game since 1998 "turbo charging my cars", but bought my first 91 B13 Sentra SE-R in 1995 when I was in the Marine Corps, imma big ole SR20DET guy but I sure do love me some KA24DE-T.

I dont take risk, trust me this is why I had zero issues with all of my setups cause I never cheap out or jury rigg stuff, I like reliabilty and good gas milage. I beat the shit out of this car on a daily it see's redline all day every day, but i treat'em right. KA-T reliability is all in tunning and I know how to tune my own car.

That was my KA-T thread back in early 2008

This is a picture of what the final heat shield looked like but even that I made lil changes to, alot of pictures were lost.

A slightly bigger turbo may help.. T25 spools almost instantly on KA24.

KA?

My SR is technically a SR22 but I still get 30mpg lol.

PS-Forged internals really really really kill gas mileage. In the mornings when I warm up I'll probably get 24mpg cuz of the warmup.

I have to admit these are some clean KA-T setups. I usually see them done shitty, quick and half assed

The tank is ~15 gallons but not quite 16 gallons so thats between 26-27mpg.

But my calulations of 420 miles per tank full are based on using 14.5 - 14.9 gallons of gas because I didn't want to run out of gas obviously so based on that almost 29mpg's so its not to bad bad.

My bone stock S13 KA24DE sucked in the MPG department but that was mostly do to the knock sensor shielded singal wire which very commonly fails on teh S13's and shorst to ground via the shielded cable making contact with the singal line inside this multilayer wire, but thats a whole other story.

I guarntee you hardly anyother KA24DE-T will even come close to my milage and I bet they will agree.

i get 29mpg on a top mount forged setup with big injectors making 400whp

its not hard to get good mileage with a good tune and proper driving
