I am actually still haveing issues with it but every time I get a chance with the fender off i mess with it and make it better but it just isn't quite where i want it yet.
have you tried fooling with the adjustment portions inside the door jamb close to the rear wheels? That's usually a little easier for adjustment.

Well as you can probably see I work at a shop called VEX Motorsports haha. The S14 is the shop drift car owned by one of the workers. It is also a D-Max car. The S13.5 is one of our buddies. As for all the other neat cars you see they are ether owned by one of the workers/ owners of the shop or just one of my friends.

Yeah I never really saw one before too before my friend bought it.

Well as far as I know the blower is from a frontier. It is a kit that was produced a while back and cost $1,500 or so. My friend bought it over a year ago and ran it in his car and made 200 hp and 200 tq w/ a mild AFC tune. It then ended up in another friends car 6 or so months ago, and now it is in mine. Right now it has an emanage so I hope i can get a tad more power out of it. and if I get bored I will twin charge it as well.

Also Vex Motorsports is looking in to developing a cost efficient kit as well if the 240 community seems interested.

I'll try and find more pics of this set up in the other 2 cars as well.

I hate to be "that guy" who posts links to "the other forum"... So I'll just say, on KA-T.org, they have a section devoted to SCed KA motors... Might be worth looking into.

So updates:

Got the car tuned a few days ago. This is with Stock intake, stock cat, stock exhaust.

Then.. after that I started blowing smoke the next day guessing piston rings and BHG. So.. I am going to build a KA in the next 2 months to put in. Current part list that I want to buy:JE PistonsBC rodsBC camsARP head studs and rod boltsMight build the head if I feel that I can afford it and if so I will get stage 3 camscometic HGsome sort of gasket set12lb pullySmall shot of NO2 to cool the air that is going in to the blower.This should be fun Any other ideas on what I need/ should get?

And I will add pics this week of how the car looks now since it looks different and I haven't added pics in a while.
