Help with KA-T project!!!

[eazye2000]

I'm in desperate need of help with my KA-T project.I'm in New Hampshire because my wife is in the military. My car is in Florida...I'm taking this time to buy everything I need for my car, and sending it to my place down there. If anyone can help out, please let me know where I can find the majority of the things I need for the swap/mod. I have the XS Power manifold, T25/28 turbo, turbo-back exhaust, Front Mount, and other misc doo-dads/fittings.I need to know what kind of ECU to buy...I need FMIC piping for the KA-TIf I need an SAFC 1 or 2Turbo timersblah blah etc. etc.

My AOL is EazyE4YouMSN is [email protected] 40467151

Any info would be great.I've been reading the KA-T boards, but I don't want to clutter anything up.Hopefully I can get ahold of someone who's done a few of these. I'm an old school V-8 Junky that is trying to go ricer/import. lol

But yea, everyone has been great on here with their help so far. Maybe one day I can give someone else advice, rather than leech info for a change.

Thanks again,Eric

Stock ECU is fine as long as you get a SAFC1 or 2 until you start throwing big HP numbers down. Just make sure you get it wideband tuned at a dyno when it's ready. You can find a SAFC at apexi's website, (www.apexi.com) or you can search the classified forums/check out the sponsor's of NICO - people sell them from time to time.

As for FMIC piping, look around your city for places that make piping...they'd probably be able to rig up something - otherwise try out some of our sponsors here at NICO - they'd probably be able to hook you up with what you need.

Turbo Timer is kind of pointless for such a basic set-up in my opinion, if you want to extend it's life just take it easy and don't really let the turbo boost for the last minute or two of your drive.....just changing the oil religiously and getting into synthetic is usually enough.....once you start upping boost and getting bigger turbos and you want to whomp it all the time...then a turbo timer might be a good idea - but if you really want one - again apexi or greddy make good ones, or search the classified sections/put up a WTB (want to buy) ad - you may find what you're looking for.

The only thing I'm not seeing in your list which is crucial are injectors. With your set-up the injectors from a SR will do fine (370cc), otherwise if you want to some nice 550cc injectors would be great as well, but aren't neccessarily needed - but you WILL need to replace the stock ones from the KA motor, they don't work for **** when you get into boosting. Again - search the classifieds, or look at our sponsor's - you'll find em.

Good luck with your project!

I appreciate the info. I was thinking the stock 370cc in the sr20det's should work. I'm not looking for more than like 6psi to just get my setup running. I checked that Jim Wolf website and 600$ for a 'non adjustable' ECU is kinda steep. I want something a little more adjustable cuz I plan on tearing it down eventually, putting like 8.5:1 pistons in it, and going like 14-16psi with those 550cc injectors. I gotta dual ball bearing GT28 or whatever it is on the back burner that I'm trying to get off a friend of a friend of a friend...etc. lol And the local Muffler/Exhaust shop doesn't do mandrel bends, so I gotta travel outta town to do the FMIC pipes. Or go to home depot and buy some dryer ducting. hahBut yea, for now, I want a boost car that is solid and dependable, and then I can go ape$hit from there. Just gotta get all the right part.Thanks for the help everyone, keep it comingEric
