California Speedway isn't too far, just a bit of some I-15 Southbound driving..we could set up a date sometime to go together if you want. I've been wanting to slap some thrasher DGAF wheels/tires to drift on and check out willow springs. I hear it's like 100 bucks for a day tho

hey what's up man, I think I sent you an e-mail earlier lol..yeah I used to have the USDM bumper like a year ago with the intercooler like this: ^^that was a long time ago

I can't recall if I ever seen your car how long have you lived up here? About 5-6 months ago, I remember seeing an dark blue s14 w/ kouki tails and g35 wheels, didn't see the front though.

I'm using an ebay t3/t4 57 trim .50 a/r comp .63 a/r exhaust. I know it's ebay, I was stupid and I didn't know very much about cheap parts when I bought it but it's been working really well for daily driving for the past year. I would recommend buying a low mileage garrett t3 off ebay, unless you plan to run 300+ whp, then I'd suggest a larger turbo. Or if you have 900 to 1200 bucks to spend on a turbo then you can get a badasz ball bearing garrett.

Lolz JDM rear bumper = SEX...Yea some fruittto in a Chevy 3500 was tail gating me and my bro the other day...like he was right on our azz w/ high beams on and everything...The idiot thought he could pass us cuz he was a "turbo diesel" so whenever a turning lane opened up, he'd squeeze in there and try to overpower us....We'd let him get ahead of us some so that he thought he was gunna pass us, then boost off right before the lane ended....Damn people in trucks think they own the roads nowadays...

dude the ka is already stroked in a way and already has the torque you need, and the stroker kit is $$$$. The build and turbo will depend on your HP goals, driving style and aspirations for the car (track, DD, drift)

yeah I must've gotten the one chinese turbo out of 1,000 that wasn't balanced by a 6 year old chinese boy in a sweat shop....dayum that was deep, I think i'll go pray now hahaha

cool, looks like you already have a bunch of little goodies on there like the radiator and the catch can. What's wrong with it, just won't fire up or it won't even crank over?

well the dude i bought it from said the mechanic told him that the timing chain guides are very lose. my dad thinks it somthing elcse. he said even if its lose it should try to start or somthing.it wont do anyhting at all. battery looks good. sunpro guages says bettery is good and the Apex ground stabilizer is working. Any sugestions?

ya it has tein springs, i think its agx shocks or might be tein also, koyo radiator, what is a catch can, what dose it do? im guessing its that silver cilinder thing next to the intake. (im a big nub but learning ) the intirior is good also. has sunpro guages, drifting e-brake, can turn on my fan with a swich, harness, my 3"inch exhaust and i have the silancer.

hey have you seen this turbo kit? i think it looks lugit.http://www.jgsturbo.com/index2.html

we made it start !! we put a wire (and a screw driver looking thing) from the battery to the sarter or w/e the electrical goes to turn on and it tryed to start. we kept doing it then started. my dads friends says that when the key turns the electricity isnt going through the wire to start. also the distributor cap is to redarded instead of advance so we also have to adjust that. and the timing chain is hitting the guides so hes going to try to fix the timing chain and adjust the distributor cap and see if we can find and fix the wire for the electricity.

we 1st started it with out the valve cover and oil went all over the place. we werent expecting it to start. that was fun since i didnt get oil on me . then we put the cover back on and it scared me but it turned on again.

can i cant wait till its running and im drifting

haha your dad wants to drift your car?!

Your why don't you just re-silicon your valve cover gasket, it won't leak.

40K miles? dude you won't even need to rebuild that engine, just slap a low boost t-25 setup, even with stock exhaust you can hit 200 hp easily
