finished KA-T pics

[daniel240]

well i finally took some pics of my custom KA-t today.

[MikeMurphy]

looks clean as hell. what kinda turbo? psi?

[C-Kwik]

Looks good. Juts a quick note though. I don't see anything securing your stainless steel oil feed line. Secure this so that it does not rub against anything. It WILL rub through it. It looks like it's sitting on your spark plug wires. Probably not a good idea to let it rub on that. A few zipties to tie it to the parts it is resting it on should be sufficient to keep it from damaging anything...

[1998cc]

That looks good. Is that turbo heat shield custom amde or did you buy it somewhere?

[Altiman94]

looks real clean. NIce use of the HS cai.

[daniel240]

its a XS T3/T04e turbo, planned on running 7-8psi now w/ the hacked mafs and 370's but my wastegate is overboosting for some reason, its running like 10psi now. some of the other pics aren't working, ill try to get them up.

[daniel240]

its custom made, as is the one around the manifold (which is also custom made) and the one around the brake master cylinder. i made them w/ cardboard then cut them out of sheetmetal. it worked real good.

heres a few more pics:



heres my boost gauge mounted where the old cig. lighter was. the hole was almost the exact size after i cut it out. i mounted the cig. lighter in the center console.

[daniel240]

here is my smic mounted where the old 2nd air box assembly used to be. i had to turn it to make it fit. it is very hard to see it from the front:)

[Well Whoop De Do]

What kind of power are you putting to the wheels? Any internal modifications?

[daniel240]

no internals, i would guess around 250-270 rwhp at 9psi.

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

looks siiiiickkkkkk dan!!! i cant wait to build mine off that parts/price list you are makin me :pface :pface :pface :pface

hahaha

good luck with it man, it looks killer. have fun!

[LongIsland240]

Looks great!! Love the super clean look, and the "sleeper" sidemount. I thought about using my aem intake as part of my piping but ended using a front mount, and couldn't see it working for me....

Again, looks awesome- keep us all posted on your progress. A few of us are all finishing around the same time- lets try to share tuning experiences and whatnot.... I'll post an update again once i get a nice day- and my 370s and afc get here

[whiterps13]

what was the final price? i always like to hear bang for the buck ;]

[daniel240]

around $1400

[red240ne]

I think you should rid of the yellowness...a little painful to the eyes.

Other than that, nice job. I think you should have just went with FMIC though, you'll want to turn up the boost. Are you still on stock fuel system right now?

i already took all the yellow hose covers off. i went w/ a smic because it was cheap and i wanted it to be hidden. also im running 370's w/ a hacked mafs and walbro 255 fp. the fuel system is maxed out at about 8psi w/ my t04e turbo. the smic can handle this so there is no need for a bigger fm. and i dont plan on running higher boost for a while unless i do a complete rebuild first.

[hayato kazami]

WOOO, this is a very nice custom kit! can you tell me what is the manifold made of?

For $1400, i would like to get one!

[fuzion]

$1400 is a good deal... ru gonna make a list of the stuff u got and where u got it from?

[James @ ID-M]

[catty]

Really nice man, makes me wish I had the money to make a kit right now

[hayato kazami]

hey, that's a cheap manifold, made by tubular, it should last for long~!

[GEO]

damnn NICE

[aleph1]

Damnit I wish I had a welder friend and/or some sort of connection. I dont have the time, tools, or place to weld...Those are some cheap prices. XS turbo for only 365?? Thats crazy cheap.

[Chingon]

I worry about the efficiency of that smic....do you?

[daniel240]

no, im not going to run over 8 or9 psi at the most, and ill run 6psi daily. it will be fine for that. plus that ic is pretty big. i got it off ebay, and it said it was a stock r33 smic. i didnt know they had a smic, but it could be an eclipse or something.

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

[vadem]
