Does anyone make a bolt-on turbo kit for the KA24E SOHC ?

[sileightysomeday]

im looking for cheap ways to boost my KAE. when i say cheap i mean under a grand for parts. anyone make a kit or if certain ones will bolt on from other models/ manufacturers? i've heard of people taking volvo turbos and putting them in... any suggestions? thanks.

our forum sponsor IAP makes a bolt on turbo kit but for 2,999$. Do a search you'll find alot of info. What you wont find is a kit for that price. You're going to have to buy or make your own manifold and basically all of your piping. E-bay is going to be your friend for the turbo/inctercooler/fuel management.

good luck.

There is quite a bit of info here as well, but more is to be found there. Due to a higher populous with SOHC engines.

For starters...

Manifolds: All of these listed generally have T3 flanges on them.

Injectors:

Top feed/High impedenceBest average injector size and largest able to run on piggybacks or basic reflash by JWT is 550cc (Good for 350 hp)

Intercooler:

Other SOHC products that are available:

Built Block Specifics...

Solid Lifter Conversion (hybridka.com)

Forged Pistons

Rods

Crower KA24DE rods Pauter KA24DE rods

Bearings

Clevite are the best from what I've seen and heard

Cams

Valves

Si Valves

Aftermarket Intake Manifolds

No one currently offers one, so it's a one off job

Metal Headgasket

No one currently offers an off the shelf one

Crank between the DE and E are identical as are rods, so any of those are interchangeable. The pistons are interchangeable but the compression will change when that is done.
