looks good man, i just got my ka-t back in the car after popping a piston a while back. Rebuilding the ka is a really good experience

what kinda seats are those?

[GTR PrYdE]

Glad you got yours back on the road!

The seats are stock, but rebuilt/upholstered

[Chris28]

Spooled god to hear your back to boosting.

How are the DW injectors treating you? I've heard to stay away from them but I forget why haha. Maybe something about how they are made?

Looking good man. Why did you change from blow-through back to suck-through?

[jeff420]

lookin good. nice to see im not the only one rocking that shifter. lol

The injectors are good so far, but they are original coils, so they can fail at really any time a stock injector would.

As for the blow-thru, my tuner advised against it... I could go back but it's fine the way it's set up.

You might be the only one again lol. Went back to the stock shifter, too damn hot for me, and the stock knob felt better overall. Was good while it lasted tho lol.

[jeff420]

yea mine gets hot as hell too. i like it because mines got a button for my nitrous.

[spooled240]

thanks guys, my ka is running pretty good although the timing is giving me problems to adjust

How much hp are you shooting for? ps those seats look pretty sweet!

[GTR PrYdE]

Thanks!

I just wanted it to be safe, and according to my power to weight compared to a friends, it should be around 270whp, which feels alot better than I thought it would lol. If I can get a good E85 setup i'll def push the stock block to at least 350-400whp

What timing issues?? I had my dizzy a tooth off, that was about the only timing issue, because I put it in a tooth off two times haha

[spooled240]

nice, I was making about 270whp and 280 tq a while back on 12 psi and it felt fast enough

my timing was weird, the dizzy was either way to advanced or way too retarded...i couldn't get any where in between. Idk if I screwed up the idler sprocket that it spins on but i had to rat tail the adjustment hole on the dizzy so i could advance the s*** out of it just to get it at 18-20 degrees

[neverlift]

guys fix the timing! that degree or so could kill your motor my sohc ecu powered setup cost me several rebuilds, and I assure it was the timing. I guess if its retarded you will be alright...

anywhonice ride, what wheels are those, black/polished? offset? they fit good! assuming no spacer?

Thank you! wheels are sportmax 006, 17x8+35 17x9+35. No spacer, however i'd like a 15mm or 20mm's all the way around

[GTR PrYdE]
