Not bad for an auto. How many miles are on your S14 again. You should have years of fun with this setup. Enjoy the blessings of the boost gods!

Looking good man, try the Ebrake + power brake combo for building boost on the line and launching.

It is working out very well with the T3/T4! I know alot of people online have questioned why I went with a SR 52FOO MAF but the shop said the SR 370cc injectors are easier and better tuned with the SR MAF. I know the car has 11.4 fuel ratio (and 11.5 is perfect)

In the far future I will upgrade to some 550cc injectors and a Z32 MAF. But for now we are going to switch to the Emanage and turn up boost to 10psi or so.

I would recommend:

Wastegate: JGS400 wastegate! But have it recircuiltated, otherwise its way to loud!BOV: I went with a Blitz SS open vent. If I could redo it I would go with something I could recirculate.Injectors: Get some SR 370CC injectors otherwise get QUALITY 550cc injectors like Nismo.MAF: Get a SR 52FOO MAF (I bought mine for around $40 bucks, but I have seen them sell for over $125 so be careful) otherwise go with a Z32 MAF.FPR: If your going to get it dyno tuned or have a shop install it also get a Nismo adjustable FPR.

AND the best thing I learned. Buy NEW PARTS or parts from a VERY trusted shop (i.e. like the one that installs your kit or something). I bought several pieces of crap online... *cough* TONY VU who sold me a supposed SR MAF

hm..how much does the sr maf differ from n60 or n62? and importantly, the stock maf??i was thinking i'd stick with stock maf + 370cc until i can get some $ for z32 maf and 550ccs...

The SR MAF has the same limit as the KA MAF which I believe is around 250whp << that's why people said it was a stupid idea to buy it, but it tunes easier and better with the SR injectors

Nice numbers!How does the boost build on the auto? I'll be finished with my build in the next week to week and a half. I'm anxious to see how my auto/turbo feels.....

Thanks, the nice thing everyone loved was the partial throttle response and boost!

My only beef with the automatic is top speed is around 90mph before I have to turn back on overdrive but that keeps me from speeding.

Thanks! BTW My car is a daily driver. If you get quality parts and installed and tuned correctly you shouldn't have any problem.

hek1620 - I already have the emanage.

Nope,

Emanage has more tuning options and always greater tuning.

Its more of a pain in the *** to install and tune than the SAFC-II but yea... more tuning choices and its more stable.

very nice build up, though i have a question for you...if you had to start over with the whole turbo setup, would you stay with the automatic turbo or swap over to the 5 speed? Because this is one of my issues and I have be searching the pros and cons about it. And everyone has been leading me to the 5 speed but i want to hear it from someone like you with an automatic KA-T. Thanks.

but again very beautiful setup.

Why not have both? Use the automatic and when it fails do a 5 speed swap. The shift from 1 to 2nd gear is too soft on my car so I was told repeated hard runs will put stress on the transmission and eventually led to faliure. But until then I'm going to enjoy it and when that time comes I'll do a 5 speed swap with upgraded clutch kit.

nice kouki.

im also goiing to do a auto ka-till be using a t04b (.63/.58 a/r) with 52lb injectors, and z32 maf w/ a tuned ecu, i wana boost 14psi and hope for 300whp..

well some questions, what did you do about the egr issue on the obd2 ecu? do you throw a code?

also when you get on the gass lets say in 3rd and the transmission kicks down to 2nd b/c your on the gas, do the boost kick in instantously? or is their like a 2-5sec delay after the car shift down into 2nd? i always wondered about this with the auto..

but yea you got some nice numbers, 190 is very respectable with safc and stock.. btw is your wastegate vented to atm?

when you do your exhasut you should be over 200whp..

good luck

the shop did that on purpose, its my boost controller for now... according to one of the shop guys. I asked about that... I'll have to ask the shop owner himself since he built the motor and was on vacation when I had asked....
