word. really hard to get much more than 35hp without some tuning and/or forced induction.simmode1 wrote:I think ImportTuner and Modified Mag did similar mods and added a high flow cat for 20+ rwhp. Cam swap might get you another 10hp w/ a better powerband too maybe.
Of course all this assumes your KAde is in good condition and not beat to hell...
Well if you can't go that route, then there is always the weight to power ratio. If you don't mind a gutted car, remove some weight from the car. Won't cost you anything....srpowered240sx wrote:motors in good shape then. you pretty much have your answer. step it up and get a turbo.

the thing i like about building na first is. once you go turbo you are already set for higher numbers then on boost alone . most of those parts besides the intake and header will still be on when you go boosti240sx wrote:i/h/e/light fly/light drivetrain/ electric fan/light weight pulley/ weight reduction=a/c, tard, carpet, light seat, back seat, carbon fiber trunk and hood/jwt cams/jwt ecu/tuned/= will get you close to 180-190whp on a healthy ka... total spend= enough to go boost for 220+whp
Max psi on a t25 is 13psi and he will be making over 200hp on a boost ready KA at 12psiKento wrote:the ka24de does not responde as well to bolt ons as much as other cars. Just save up 700-800 bucks. buy a t25 from an sr20 with oil and water lines.. All the componets to make it run, Tmanifold,ECU,Injectors. You can find all that stuff used and in great running condition, the t25 setup should put you anywehre from 180-200hp depending on ur engine, psi on these turbos are max 7-8psi ive seen 9psi. with 200 hp ur 2,000 and some odd pound 240sx is gunna fly anywhich way you go, sideways or foward. It'll be a fun car that'll go quick.
