^ Fixed it for ya

nevertheless · 06-24-2011, 01:05 PM

Yeaaaah! haha
I hate Srt-4s..

jamg · 06-24-2011, 01:09 PM

guys running with stock internals-

how is it holding up?

how many miles did the motor have before you went boost?

mewantkouki · 06-24-2011, 01:17 PM

It's all in the tune really. I got my car with 72k on it. Turbocharged it around 85kish. Drove the living shit out of it all the time, nuked one .50 trim, upgraded to a beast mode precision turbo and it handled everything I threw at it. My car was turbo from November 2007- December 2010. Then I made the decision to go with an sr to "try something new". Of course my sr committed suicide in epic fashion... Good news is, I have another ka I'm actually going to build this time around and shoot for higher power. Only problems I noticed were that the turbocharger worsened my valve stem seal leak. I attribute that to the engine being 15 years old though.

That srt4 video brings back memories. hahaha I wish I'd videotaped the smoke screen that my car let out the next day when the turbo breathed it's last.

Skraight · 06-24-2011, 01:30 PM

Just got my GT2871 .86 in the mail and my 850cc top mount RC's. Ready to turn the boost up.

jdmspooge · 06-24-2011, 04:29 PM

Hahaha it's always fun to walk on the SRT's and the STI's. Sad how those guys have puzzled looks on their faces when they get romped on hahaha. Love it daily!

wow damn its clean work punxva my kinda taste.. i am basically an sr20 lover but recently ka`s are attracting me these days becuz there is no rocker arm problems and 2.4 ive always seen good torque numbers compare to hps .. good luck

***CrimsonRockett*** · 06-24-2011, 04:51 PM

Punxva's is the only one that's really impressed me so far. The rest have been "okay".

Still waiting to see someone with a KA-T set up including a fuse box relocation, full wire tuck, PS reservoir relocated, BMC and Clutch master hardlines relocated (err, using ChaseBays SS lines or something similar), top mount manifold, and shiny TIG'd IC piping.

That'd be neat.

ke70 sr20det · 06-24-2011, 04:59 PM

i love kat torque for streets ... his setup is is simple but eye catching no mess in the bay....

punxva · 06-24-2011, 05:34 PM

thanks guys, i have changed a few things but a fuse box relocation is in the works

future · 06-24-2011, 05:56 PM

Some of you huys are making me want to just throw 15lbs of boost at the ka I have and say fuck rebuilding my spare one lol.

That would be dope to see, I would rather prefer Function > Form.

Nice setup dude, thanks for answering.

Skilz10179 · 06-24-2011, 06:53 PM

Skilz10179 KA-T coming 2012....

I already have a few parts from previous cars, currents parts pile...

Garrett GT3076R (.63 turbine housing)
Custom intercooler (Griffen core with HKS end tanks)
Greddy Type S BOV
Greddy Profec B
Turbonetics Evolution 35mm wastegate
Innovative LM1 wide band

I had my heart set on a Peak Boost turbo manifold but a friend was just telling me they went out of business, anyone know if thats true???? If Peak boost is gone what is the next best manifold other than Full Race, must be a top mount, available with a T3 flange and a 35/38mm wastegate flange and be great quality..........?

And heres a pic i snapped just for this thread to keep things exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

newslidz · 06-24-2011, 07:30 PM

CrimsonRockett

limited on tools so was forced to purchase main kit but still changing it a little and I will have some more for you later

-10 fitting will be welded to pump and 90* will be on the return so its not 100% stock

DRFT180 · 06-24-2011, 07:37 PM

AMS rebuild kit
Stock head
BikiRom
AMS GT32
FC Oil Cooler

During the rebuild a few years ago.

Engine bay soon after completion.

Some things have changed, mostly switching to a mid-mount setup. So the intake, charge piping, and recirc. setup has been moved around. I'll have to get some more up to date recent pics.

somewhat recent action shot

enjoy

***CrimsonRockett*** · 06-24-2011, 07:40 PM

Newslidz, sorry I missed yours (was a little busy when I posted). It's definitely impressive. I personally dislike having the OEM wiring/fuse boxes in the engine bay. So, relocating and tucking is on my to-do list.

Any reason why you chose E-Fan's over the stock clutch fan/fan shroud?

Thought about ordering a set of E-fans myself (cleaner look), but the fan shroud works better in my opinion.

I agree with you completely, but when both function and form are done properly, you get the best of both worlds. Shit works awesome AND it looks awesome.

Here's one I found on the net quite some time ago.

I'm aiming for something similar to this, but with the things I mentioned above. Fuseboxes relocated, hardlines relocated, and PS reservoir relocated.

DRFT180 · 06-24-2011, 07:48 PM

What I ended up doing with my hardlines

No problem I know its still not much but this isnt a build thread so i wont post before pics but the car came along way..

I do like the look of e fans just because they are close and my clutch fan had gone out and never replaced it..

plus for some reason I always have cars that like to overheat no matter how much cooling power i have so atleast i can put them on a acc timer or set them to run till its reached a set temp

This is what I've got ...
Custom Arias 8:8:1, Eagle Rods, Clevite Bearings, Apr Head Stud and Main Kit, Spec Stage 3, already ordered wideband and 550's, havent bought the turbo but it'll be a garret t04e, wastegate tial, fmic, downpipe, greddy rs, manifold treadstone, then I'll get cometic headgasket, walbro, and nistune for tuning, what else would you guys recommend me? Is this enough to made 350whps?
Jorge

Spring Break '92 · 06-25-2011, 12:39 AM

jrs, sounds good. You will also need a Z32 MAF. From what Ive read on KA-T.org, people have found the Cometic HG to be somewhat problematic and the general consensus is to go with a Fel-Pro HG. Personally I am on a Cometic and have had no problems but if it ever fails I am going Fel-Pro.

That would look really good to see, the Chasebays engine bay IMO has set the bar for the cleanest KA engine bay by far. If there was a bay that Looked like that and put down a good amount of power would be full of win.

DRFT180: High Fvcking Five dude! that looks damn good! what lines/fittings did you use?

I've since moved on from the KA but i'm going to be rebuilding that short block and throwing it in a buddies car.

GroundPerformance · 06-25-2011, 08:43 AM

^^ Config look familiar.. Looks like it will be running on running the SR Engine Management like mine to run COP. I'm doing the same thing now. Maybe a writeup soon to convert KA ro run SR EMS.

we've used Cometic HGs
if you prep the surfaces well shouldn't be a problem

fckillerbee · 06-25-2011, 10:49 AM

buddy's old setup...should be a dead give away.

sorry for the shitty pics. I couldn't find a good one that he had.
