Does anyone out there have a 98 with a KA-T in it. I would like to talk to you about your setup. I am trying to get an idea of how complicated/expensive it would be to do the same. I have been told and found in searches that you can run 7-10 psi no problem on the stock internals with no ecu mods or new injectors.

I have a 98 with 66k on it and it runs great now, no problems at all.

PM me or respond to the thread.

Search on here, and check the Freshalloy.com Advanced 240SX forum...

Doing a KA-T on a '97-98 only has 1 difference as compared to any other year with a KA24DE...and that's the ECU setup. If you want to run JWT, then you have to use a '96 ECU (you can't re-program '97-98 ECUs) and move 3 pins on the wiring harness (at the ECU plug)...

But stock internals have proven to hold 12psi daily for years, so 7-10 is a little low. The beginner setup uses 370cc injectors from an SR and the stock KA MAF, and can get you to ~250rwhp.

For more, SEARCH.

brian I know you're sick of explaining this over and over but you say the beginning uses the stock maf and just upgraded injectors? So they wouldn't even need like AFC or JWT ecu or anything? I thought the stock MAF didn't work after like 5psi, isn't that why you hacked yours?

What I meant was that the typical beginner KA-T setup usually uses a stock MAF and 370s (with an AFC, JWT, or Hacked MAF to get the A/F trim right...).

Stock MAF is good to 7-8psi, depending on the turbo. Mine hit 5.11 volts at 8psi from a T3/T04E, which is MAXED...

Hacked MAF allows 8psi easily b/c it's not metering the correct amount of air, so it reads less voltage at 8psi (mine was hitting ~4.8 volts)...so no MAF cut.

Thanks for the info. I will do some more searching. I am really looking for a complete parts list for the beginner setup.
