i'm finally KA-T!!

[a240sxpinoy]

so after a long time awaiting, here are some pics of my turbo kit.

custom sr manifold to fit the kasr t25sr 370cc injectorsaem wideband afr gaugeside mount sr intercoolerjgs oil draincustom ss oil feed -3anemance tunemegan adjustable fprwalbro 255 fuel pumpstock sr dp (bolted right on)stock sr elbow









so with the stock intercooler piping, i messed up and cut next to the bend. thats why there is two blue silicone couplings! lol

the stock sr manifold was cut at the flanges and then welded the stock ka24de flanges. my friend welds for a living and said he knows how to work with cast iron...



ill post more pics later but so far is been about 500 miles.

afrs on idle is between 13-16 (i need to find out why it fluctuates so much)crusing afrs are between 14-15and when i am boosting its around 11-12

Nice bud, i love that manifold.

So how much did you spend in total?

Your emance tune seems to be working out O.K. Do you have a good o2 sensor? That *could* be why your idle afrs are so bouncy idk.

[nismo_power]

how much boost are you doing???i got almost the same setup and was planning on doing 10psi but kinda scared of it blowing up???

[kouki_hmongster]

Looks bad@ss bro! i'm still trippin about the manifold, never thought it would work and espcially bolt on to sr dp.

[D-UNIT]

That side mount piping is the nuts. I can't tell from the pics but that vent tube coming out of the valve cover needs to be routed back into the air stream. Preferrably after the maf and before the turbo. Your car will idle weird if not.

[1mansho]

nice build! where did you get the coupler connected from the intake pipe to the throttle body and the 90 degree elbow from your hot pipe to the turbo?

[shimizu_17]

cool budget setup. Id like to know the complete price list of your parts if you don't mind sharing.

[abc123omg]

glad to see ur up and running man, an di se eyou got that fpr. make sure its set at 1:1 and whats your idle?

i know im working on it, there is a extra spot on the stock sr intake piping that im planning to route it back into there. ya the side mount piping would have looked cleaner if i didnt mess up.

how much boost are you doing???i got almost the same setup and was planning on doing 10psi but kinda scared of it blowing up???

im just boosting stock right now 7psi. im scared too of blowing it up, its my daily and im checking everything constantly.

Looks bad@ss bro! i'm still trippin about the manifold, never thought it would work and espcially bolt on to sr dp.

i know!! im going to post pic of how it looks. lol i was suprised when it matched up. lol

nice build! where did you get the coupler connected from the intake pipe to the throttle body and the 90 degree elbow from your hot pipe to the turbo?

ok the one that connects to the throttle body has two different couplings on it, and one straight adaptor from homedepot. i just angled it a little here and there to fit. lol

cool budget setup. Id like to know the complete price list of your parts if you don't mind sharing.

i've been parting piece by piece for a very long time. lol maybe a year or two worth.

[red_rain]

love it....keep it up yo....

[nelson8708]

looks like a factory boosted ka...

[sommmatt]

I'm fairly sure if you got rid of the blue couplers, on first glance, someone would think it's supposed to be that way. props.

[a240sxpinoy]

thanks! ya im planning on getting rid of the blue couplings.

Here's a picture with the stock heat shield. it not bolted cause i need to get bolts to bolt it on.

[-RJ-]

im curious, when do you hit full boost?

[240sxvaj]

looks nice!

i'll come by and check it out asoon as i get my car running.

hows tha E-Mance ECU treating you?

[BoostFab]

the stock sr manifold was cut at the flanges and then welded the stock ka24de flanges. my friend welds for a living and said he knows how to work with cast iron...

that's a pretty neat idea, i never thought about that. looks like the runners line up perfectly.

[a240sxpinoy]

ya they line up ok. i needed to even the inside out a little..i took pictures of that too.

i hit full boost pretty quick. its my first turbo car so ya. i know i hit full boost faster than my dad's stock 1993 Mr2 turbo.

ill try to get some vids.

ill post more pictures of the manifold asap.

[slipknot555_666_69]

how much hp is that baby running?

[esahuque]

how much hp is that baby running?

with a stock sr setup, I going to guess about 220. thats what my friend put down with about the same setup on his ka

[slipknot555_666_69]

not to bad though i like how you customized that header and came out so cheep turboing a ka

[xrproto07]

Very cool and budget friendly setup you got there bro, spools pretty quick i bet, i love your set-up!

[a240sxpinoy]

thanks guys! im planning to dyno it once i get the little bugs worked out.

[red ka-t]

So how do you like your car now that its boosted? Do you have any kills yet? Are you going to turn your boost up? Jst wait till you boost that baby to 12psi your going to love it.

[a240sxpinoy]

yes i like it a lot. very fun car to drive now. and good in gas!

its weird though, before i was turbo a lot of cars picked on me, having the silvia front end and what not, but now ever since i turboed, no one has? really weird though, i run the circulated bov and stock side mount so nothing that stands out. lol

[S13FX]

Kick *** idea with the SR mani. Iv been telling people forever that the SR mani works perfectly with the DE flanges welded on, and I'm glad someone finally did it.

Plus using that bottom mount mani has room for a bigger T25 flanged turbo in the future depending on what your power goals are, but since you mentioned this is your first turbo car just gotta say good job and youl get power hungry soon hehe.

Happy Boostin.

[WDRacing]

Lovin the setup man

[s14derrick]

its almost all sr parts like a sr24det lol.i wonder what power compared to an sr with the walbro pump and a tune would be

[40daws]

That is so innovative with the manifold ! Kudos to you sir,kudos. You have inspired me to look at going KA-T again.

[a240sxpinoy]

update>>> still good and runnin! 15,000+ miles!

[neverlift]

nice update!SO any issues along the way? I had plenty of stumbles in the past, but keep on truckin
