im looking to spend maybe $500 over a period of time doing this, thats if i even decide to stay KA. i might just save a little more and do your na-t setup. who knows. i thought it would be cool to unlock some tourqe in the ka and possibly get it more response.

 

there no good cheap standalones out there. megasquirt is cheap but its the biggest piece of shit ever. I wouldnt get that unless you can build it yourself, know your electronics, and dont mind riding around with an oscilloscope. Rom tune or bikirom for the best bang for the buck. I might have an s14 ka rom-ecu with a 2 step wired in for sale soon.
Are you swapping out an s13 ka for an s14? you shouldnt have any problems at all. I just did my wife's swap in a day it was painless and easy.

 

nope just stock replacement.

i might just do the whole piggyback thing.

 

call me when u do the swap i wouldnt mind help lemme kno

 

probably make some progress on it tonight, then finish up tommorow. my engine and tranny should be out tonight you can come by if you want to help!

 

i work till 7 if i have a car buy then ill b there

 

looks like it might rain. who would have thought?

 

im doin e-manage... not stand alone but it does a lot of shit

but the best standalone by fat in my opinion for the KA is AEM EMS. ivans 9 sec ka s14 is using it...

 

$2000 for 200hp???

(PROOF) That NA KA can make 200CHP on $1000 - Club240.com | Forums Index

and thats not doing fun stuff like SOHC pistons. Something is telling me that at 11:1 compression,along with the mods in that link, would yeild more than an sr swap and you would still have money left over for gas and all that jazz

 

as for the swap itself, the only thing you have to watch out for is different brackets. we got a KA that we thought was an S13 and didn't realize it wasn't until nothing lined up right, the A/C and power steering brackets are different.... but only sometimes, cuz i've heard that everything is the same too.....
my advice is to just pay attention to details. its not a hard swap as long as you pay attention to the little things.
good luck and have fun
