[1WheelWonder]

Looks really good.What size intercooler piping are you running?

[KATwo40]

Gratz! What boost pressure are you running?

Also, where did you get that turbo blanket?

Looks good.

[SeanC]

i am running 8 psi, i am not sure where i got the turbo blanket i will look through my invoices tomorrow.

[j-z]

looking good. another sr killer on the street.

Only if it Gernades on the starting line...

I like the garden hose it's Baller!

[Florida240sx]

How do you keep coming back in here????Go away Kenrik, go jump on your bandwagon...

[j-z]

why would it do that? hes running on bikirom. i swear, you sr fanboys need to get over your jdm goodness 2L of a motor with a OH SNAP t25

[Riubens]

that was funny..

this tard is back again....

[lilskyline240]

Dude, i walk circles around SR's with YOUR stock t25 and stock SMIC

[lrb_2000]

I know,.. that's funny ****... a stock KA with sr parts.. turbo, sidemount, injectors, etc, at the same boost level as the SR, will still make more power.

[gaehrings13]

Lol, wait till it breaks and he has to find some parts. Then he has to special order them.

[Kenrik]

Haha you guys are funny... My SR is not stock and I'm not running stock boost.

anyway... have fun with your KAs.

[lrb_2000]

"look, i made a boost controller and got a ebay front mount, now my sr is fast! i win!"

you should probably get some pictures of you drifting your sr instead of the ka.

haha you think that's all?? How about the New oilpan, water pump, 3inch DP and 3inch catback? Koyo Radiator, Nismo thermostat, F-A-L Fans, SAFC II, 6puck clutch, FMIC, HKS SSQ bov, gauges etc..

My full mod list would fill the page..

Anyway don't forget I was a KA guy before I got the SR... I'm just kidding about a lot of it, but I like the 2.0l of the SR, it runs a LOT smoother and is a LOT quieter then a KA.

[Florida240sx]

It's quieter because it has less torque..... Coem out to the track on Friday...... I'll be there.....Too bad I can't go past 5800rpms though....o well 15psi makes it happy up to 5800rpms

[lilskyline240]

i find it funny that KA guys are running more boost on the stock KA bottom end than SR guys are on the SR bottom end.....

and teh SR is a turbo motor....

any why downgrade displacement??

Nice... but I don't see what's going to makes the "engine" so much better than stock.. only thing I see is a fmic, and 3" dp + exhaust... i'm sure it's ran you a lot more $$ than doing the same to a KA... but some people like revin' the **** outta there engines..

and wasn't your KA rebuilt just prior to getting the SR?

anyways, I think that's the turbo i'm going with (GT32) but I have a rev hard manifold, and think it won't fit...you should try and get some videos or something...that would be sweet.

Oh I also have a walbro, solid polyurathane mounts, new transmission, + more I always forget everything I installed haha..

Anyway with the stock turbo she's good for 230ish whp.

Injectors and a big *** turbo + tuneing and I'm over 300 without having to worry about the bottom end. Yeah it's expensive, about the same as doing the KA-T the right way but I'm a rev happy SOB.

And no the KA was not rebuilt.. I had two cars and I bet you're thinking about my other one (the drift moible that I blew up *rod exit block* three KAs in...)

it will remain sleeper except for black 17's and 245 rear tires no stickers along with satin black paint. BTW i stayed right next to a lightly modded 5.0L mustang today at 6 psi once i get it tuned its time to go v-8 huntin' i will be taking the downpipe off to wrap it this weekend so i will snap some pics.

BTW can we all just agree that both engines have the capability to be great when built right? the fastest KA and the fastest SR are both in the 9. all in all the engines perform great for thier size and still get 30 mpg

Agreed.

I have had both, I worked on KAs for years I have nothing againts KAs. I'm just inlove with how smooth the SR feels.

[aaronsnocker1]

Any word on where the turbo blanket is from?

[240sxbobbis]

i like iot it looks good another iron block here to rule soda can motors

[hannibal]

Where does the garden hose from the valve cover lead? I totally forget what thats called, but most guys seem to put a breather filter or a catch can on there...

[SeanC]

the blanket is from enjuku racing.

Kenrik you coming up to the jax meet on saturday night??? What about Nopi??? Thinking of entering the burnout contest...Sucks I can only go to 5800rpms....Owell I'll hit peak torque at that so I'll be good......
