one day mark.. one day... i am still working on a good oil supply solution for my motor project. btw.. i think I will be able to do the 1/2" studs locally, but if it falls through I will need you guys to do the head / block stud work for my motor. Thought of anyone that can do a 90, 91 or 92 mm gasket other than cometic ? Out of curiousity.. how much do the alum rods weigh you guys run ?? Just want to compare to my ti rods.

keep your sr in good shape I am going for a ka freak motor. tak $4k ka engine will be jealous.

 

dave ranjo and i all have something in store for you all. we are just keeping everything on the dl.

 

u better tell me! lol. im going to a job interview in tampa near veterans. if u around in the PM, maybe i stop by and czech it out. i need to come help one day, but i decided to tear my car apart

 

Jonas if it is anything like your sr car (condition) I have no worries because I wont be making it a multi-purpose car.

I plan on making a ka that likes 8k rpm and a turbo that eats small children

 

sounds nice Jonas but I would trash the log manifold and the injectors. Have Glenn build you a indestructable manifold like mine. The log mani will choke and make lag. My 35R cracks the wastegate @ 4600 rpms on the mani. Protect your investment get some nismo/tomei injectors instead of douche works. What about cams/springs and plenum? These are most important for a no topend KA IMO and nobody has them.

 

i am thinking of trashing the injectors. i havent heard anything bad about these jgs manifolds so far. i am also not planning on pushing as much as you so i am hoping what i have is sufficient enough. but ther eis still time to change out those things. thanks for all the input!! as far as head work, i am still debating. i might. i might.

 

CAMS !!!!!! V. Springs !!!!!!!!!! Log manifolds kill tq everywhere. Really look into a tubular.. like Hybrid Dynamics or Full Race. I have tuned a lot of cars and can tell you that they kill about 15-25 % of your power at identical boost levels. Douche Works like tim said.. thumbs down. 550's get a KA to about 380 rwhp getting close to max. I run 740's on the Bandit @ 22 psi w/o any problems. One real big thing I have noticed about KA's Jonas... they like to lift the head... get the updated ARP head studs.. I don't think the old ones are even sold anymore, but make sure you pick up a good set. We usually stock them, because the Bandit chews through headgaskets pretty quickly. You can get a built KA to 450-500 fairly reliably on pump gas @ about 19 psi.. but you have to do cams... have to have to have to. No cams = 80 less hp. Last time I did a stock cam / built bottom KA with a .63 35R like Tim's it struggled to crack 400 on 20psi... and that is a serious fucking turbo.

thanks for the input. what cams do you suggest? will the 91 ka be sufficient enough? as far as injectors. i bought these 660's about a year and half ago.

 

crower cams ftw on a ka .. at least a 262 w/ about 11.5mm lift.. shim the head to 16 / 18 and hit 450 like its going out of style. KA turbo feels like it lacks something w/o cams.. no matter how much boost you run.
