Here are some pictures of my 240. I finally got it running and I just got past the 500 mile mark on the break in. I celebrated with some pictures.









Don't mind the paint job. A sanding is in due. Just waiting for the weather to get better. I hate nothing more than wet sanding a car when its cold outside.

Yup, in the Army I am. I don't know if I've meet her, and honestly, there is 80,000 (no typo) people that work on post so the chances are kinda slim that I would.

nice setup, im looking to go a similar route with my ka24de

a few questions1. is that stock compression with those pistons2. any other electronic upgrades in order to run your car with all the parts, mainly the turbo3. 50lb injectors, what is the cc rating4. did you do all the work yourself and if yes, details and pics please!!!5. psi and hp ratings or approx. ratings???

Thanks

No. Stock compression is 9.1:1.Quote »2. any other electronic upgrades in order to run your car with all the parts, mainly the turbo [/quote]If your car has a single cam stock, then yes, and mostly just swapping in a dual cam wire harness. Besides that, not really.Quote »3. 50lb injectors, what is the cc rating[/quote]There are right around the 500cc area.Quote »4. did you do all the work yourself and if yes, details and pics please!!![/quote]No. I have had 2 different shops do the work on my car. I did all the research while I was in Iraq, bought parts via the internet and then had then shipping back to Texas. Since I'm back though I do do a lot of the work now, but its all post-build stuff.Quote »5. psi and hp ratings or approx. ratings???[/quote]Right now I'm at 7psi because of the break in. Horsepower should be near the 400 area once I get it broke in, turn the boost up, and smooth out the bugs.

wow, thanks for the fast responseim looking to make around 350-400hp with my motori want to get new rods, pistons, cams, valves and springs, and then go with a t3/t04e turbo with 555cc injectors, walbro pump, maybe an upraded fuel rail if need be along with other electronics

could you be able to give me some advice in researching for the ka-t.Some website or other helpful tips??

You don't need new valves or springs. You can use your stock head, rebuild the bottom end with aftermarket pistons, and rods. a t3/t4 turbo or gt30 or higher turbo... then all the basics like fmic, 550 injectors won't get you much past 350whp. No need for a new fuel rail unless you want to go with top mount injectors..It's really easy to make power out of the KA. I was making around 275whp on only 8psi from a gt35. I had my 440cc injectors maxed out. I have 810cc's now though. lol.

also, thank you irb_2000 for the info, so looks like i will be looking for injectors in the 600-700 cc area. But i am keeping my ka-t a daily so.... looks like more research, off to the search button

Nice turbo setup! I'm hoping to start building my first turbo SOHC within a few months here.

I have to ask though, who the hell painted your car and why? :P
