the manifolds aren't interchangable. but you could use an sr turbo on a ka.

This can be found by searching. Luckily for you, energy drink makes my sympathetic.

You can use the T25 from the SR20DET along with it's intercooler piping, and intercooler. It will then bolt up to the SR20DET downpipe, if you use the appropriate dump.

Basically, if you go with all eBay gear for the SR20DET (or whomever they are counterfeiting) then you will be able to use the turbo setup no problem.

my recomendation is to go to japan power or jdm and get the whole sr20det swap. It would be easier and you car will perform better.

I changed the title of the thread. The topic title should reflect what the thread is about. It also helps the search engine find threads by title match.

Your best bet is to buy a turbo kit made for the KA. Whoever says doing an SR swap is easier then installing a turbo kit...well I'll just say that it simply isn't true.

Locate a kit made for the KA and you'll be all set.

Read around some, breeze through the FAQ in my signature block.

I try not to make disparaging comments to the noobs...they don't know me yet

But I guess high would probably be a fairly accurate estimation

so that will be a yes and no answer rite? because my cusin have a stock sr20det turbo kit + intercooler kit, i wanted to buy it off of him because he has a new turbo kit etc. and its just sitting in his house takeing up space, and i want to stick with the KA24DE. i dont want to go with and sr20. yea so what things might i need if he gives me every part of the turbo that came off from his motor? (remember im still a noob about turbos sry.......)

Well, I was referring to the other guy, not you when I said the noob stuff.

You'll need fuel injectors, a way to control them, a new manifold and hopefully everything will line up on the exhaust side. Which it should assuming he gives all of the right parts.

As of next month, I think I may just lock threads where the topic starter doesn't atleast use basic grammar. Caps and spaces between sentences, I don't think thats to much to ask.

Sh*t, I am STONED; and I still even know that installing a turbo kit is a lot easier than doing a complete motorswap, he must just be straight retarded.

No, the SR mani will not fit the KA head. There are, however, a number of counterfeit mani's that are sold on ebay that place the turbo in the exact same place as the SR's mani will. They are basically just a DC SR mani counterfeit that they changed the flange on. After that, everthing else will just fall into place. It is a very cheap way to turbo, but the power is extremely limited. If you can be happy with only 200whp or so, then it is for you. The rest of us will be using T3/T4's or GT32's.

Here's thing thing I have against small turbo's. Especially the stock SR T25. That thing is to small for the SR20, let alone a KA24DE.

Installing a turbo kit and tuning everything is alot of hassle to go through for a few measly horse power. For that you could just install some nitrous in about 2 hours.

If you're going to do somthing, then do it right the first time. There are shortcuts and money savings to be had. Just not when selecting a turbo.

Worlds longest word, and bad grammar?

NICE!!!

IDK, I can see using the T25, but myself, I would get tired of only have 200hp, when I could have more. Then again, you can do okay with a T28 later. Or a GT2871r, which has shown time and again to be a large enough wheel to support the KA.
