Decided on turboing the SOHC :)

[supra brit]

I will probably get flamed, but my original plans were to find a DE and turbo it, but I decided I think I want to try something different and turbo the E...the motor will be rebuilt first. I think my boyfriend said I could have his blown sohc so I will use that...

I just wanted some opinions from people who are wiser & more experienced than I am...

I'm aiming for about 250-260hp.

I know JGS has sohc manifolds: anyone runnin one of these, or know about them?

Any help or advice would be great, thanks!

good choice

My suggestion

:-) good luck on your project. You're definitely in the right community to get any help you might need!

my advice: invest in ALOT of PB blaster. those 15 year old bolts like to stay put.

Kit looks very good...but are you sure that manifold will bolt up?

Does look sketchy, but it is a Ka24de kit

[supra brit]

It says it fits a sohc...Import_Ant, let us know what happens!

ka24e's don't have to all be that old, they were put in the nissan trucks all the way up until the frontier came out, and they all had lower compression. I would grab one of those and go to town, imho.

that is a sohc kit, not a dohc kit,lol, should work for ya.

have fun installin it, and get some pics/vids of when kickin ***.

the truck blocks don't have a girdle on the crank.(iirc) All truck sohc-t truck guys I know are switching to 240 motors before turbo. I have the JGS manifold and it is very well built. The pic on their webside is of my personal one, and I am very pleased with Lance's work.

The manifold in one of the pictures looks like a dohc, but I may be wrong...anyone have any pics of a KA24ET car??

it bolted right up. fit perfect only gripe is if you want to keep the AC the wastegate will hit on the line. you'll have to remove AC line or relocate the wastegate.

scroll down to the bottom of the link I provided.



I didnt feel like starting a new thread when I did the install so I just keep posting on the existing one.

Ouch, I like my AC.

Brit, the JGS is a very good manifold. It won't ever have issues with cracking. They do excellent work.

You can easily put 250- 260 whp with good tuning.

[DRIFTEADOR]

hell, you can make that with bad tuning
