I have been contemplating this for a little bit and want to know the pros and cons of both set ups. I have a KA in my car right now with 130k miles on it. The main thing i want to know is what exactly would i need to convert my KA into a KA-T?

How much would it cost for each setup/How much work would it take?
I am some body work away from starting to do anything to the engine, so am looking for the cheapest way to put down 200+
If I missed any of the other possibilities then please let me know, these are the only two that i see in the 240's these days, so let me know.

s13 sr swap(1700), fmic(300ish), fuel pump(100), 3" cat-back(150+), downpipe an testpipe( i have these for sale,100) = 200whp+ AN ITS RELIABLE

you obviously are a newb, so best advice is keep it simple.

 

This is exactly what i was looking for! What about the turbo? I heard t28 ebay turbo's is a decent one, but is that my only option? Obviously i'm not going to put the biggest/most expensive turbo I possibly can. Thanks for the info ^ and for the fuel pump, should i go walboro 255? Because they are pretty cheap.

 

yup go walboro, an you can buy a gt28r(stock s15) for 700ish these are good up to 320hp. mild cams ,rocker arm stoppers, forged pistons, arp headstuds, martin rom-tune an you will have solid little setup w/ reliability

 

I give up. Im just gonna b16 swap and ruin my 240. Lol just kidding.. But this is alot to take in. Thanks for all the help man. If i have more questions ill just pm you.

 

I've been piecing together a KA24DE turbo kit for a minute. S14 Garrett T28, bottom mount manifold, Megan o2 housing, 370cc injectors in SR fuel rail, n60 MAF, oil feed line, t fittings, oil restrictor and whatnot. Picked up my free parts tonight, Greddy FMIC core, plenty of piping (I think I'm gonna go mid mount setup) dude said it was a stock SR bov but it has a Mitsubishi logo on it and it looks like a 1G DSM bov. All I need is a tapped oil pan, oil drain line and water lines and a tune and I'm set. oh and I got 232/248 cams (budget power)

A stock KA block with good bearings, good headgasket and a good timing chain set can handle 10psi on a good tune and hold about 300hp for better peace of mind use arp headstuds and metal headgasket.

 

why the fuck is this thread not deleted?

doods asking if he should take his training wheels off, and doesn't even have the wrenches to get the nuts off..

 

lol, he just wants to be accepted.

 

Was just asking some questions, so find a new way home pizza boy. According to zman and kouki, I can post this in this section if i please.

 

The only reason it would be deleted is because this is a topic that been covered for a long time. Not only doing a quick search on TR but on google, you'll find out the info you want. KA-T.org will have all your KA Turbo q&a's. Alot of people on this forum can get pretty serious with new users asking either dumb questions or ones that have been covered a million times and flame you and talk shit.
