Hey, I"m wondering if some of you single ka turbo guys can post your pics, your hp/torque number/ psi, and what turbo and other mods being ran on your single slammers. Thank you, I could really learn if i saw a few and saw which turbo's all of yous are using to make decent power near a 230whp.

thank you

You can use just about any turbo you want to acheive that goal. T3/t4 will give you tht power at around 7psi. Top of this thread there is a sticky with links to member's KA-T's it will have their setups and power.

[S13 240SX]

I understand but a T3/T4 turbo is wayyy out of my ball-park i need something a little cheaper to get me there.

[SeVa-S13]

Z31 T3. Cheap and proven.

[S13 240SX]

I can't find any z31 t3's... they came in like 84 to 86 years... none in junkyards and none on ebay... I'm gonna something else.

[sunnys14]

I've got a T3/TO4E 50 trim factory rebuild I'm willing to part with. Still has the Garrett tag on it.

$400 takes it.

Riiiight. It worked fine for me on my SOHC with a log mani, along with plenty of other people.

buying a used 20 year old turbo just isn't a smart move. I made the mistake.

[S13 240SX]

yeah toki ur right about that,, **** its sooo ****ing old I can't even find it!!!! not even on ebay for real cheap!!!!! that's how old that 20 year old turbo is.. but oh well i'm getting a turbo tomorrow,, it may not be the best for the KA cuz i herd it cutting of power at 5 grand but oh well its a turbo for now.. I"m gonna get a SR20 T25 in perfect fine condinton for under 100 bucks if everything gose well tomorrow.

[SeVa-S13]

I would never suggest running such an old turbo if it weren't rebuilt somewhat recently. I got a hold of one for $100 with about 3.5k on the rebuild (supposedly). But of course this was back in the day when not every ricer in the world was trading in his Honda for jdm dori pwnage.

[BobWithBoobs]

i have one rebuilt and i have'nt put it on yet... (pretty much new)

its a z31 from the late 80s in flawless condition , shoot me an offer at my e-mail if ya ant it... i wanna go to a bigger turbo

[S13 240SX]

well i'm screwed now, all my money saved for a turbo is going into a stage 1 xtd clutch kit, my stock clutch died tonight.

[thekawaii]

my t3 is fine.

[A34D4ME]

Do you have pictures? What kind of condition is it in really? Shaft play, etc?It comes with waste gate right? I might trade my T3/T04E if you sweeten the deal a little.

[Chezedik]

Toki, that's weak, it's cool to be a naysayer. No, I mean that. The 20 year old T3 from the Z31 is effectively the same as a modern T3 using journal bearings. Plus, it's a Garrett. So, it seems to me that your arguement of it being 20 years old just stems from your head being up your ***. As I have told you before S13 the Z31 is good. You can also use any Saab, Ford, Chrysler, or GM T3, if you need a cheap one. Search for an SVO mustang turbo, or Grand Prix turbo, or any 900 or 9000 turbo. But a T25 should be fine too. I still don't think you understand how easy it is to rebuild and hybridize one of these things. You should think hard about a hybrid. They are inexpensive, easily made, and do things that no one of them could do alone.

[S13 240SX]

okay but a t3/t4 hybrid like i say is out of my ball-park maybe in 2 or 3 years i'll get one when i rebuild the block. but now i just want a cheap turbo, damn! but I can't get a cheap turbo now, because my clutch died, and all my money saved up for a cheap turbo is gone now due to buying a new clutch kit.

[Chezedik]

yes, but you can upgrade a T3 when you get there. Like I have suggested before, for what you want, I would think about making yourself a little T28, and then you would have your T3. With diligent tuning you could make your goal with relatively low boost. I don't think you will come in quite as low as you would like though, without the larger turbo. But a T28 would be a good starter. Also, for a cheap mini-upgraded clutch, you can use one from a 73 240z, it's clamping force is greater by about 60lbs (and cheaper than stock). You could use it with a turbo for a little while, but expect it to burn like a stocker when you get to 230HP.

[S13 240SX]

oh cool but i already ordered a clutch kit... its F1 Stage 2 clutch kit.

[Chezedik]

Who is F1, I have never heard of them.
