BACK INTO THE 240 WORLD :D

Just got a 95 SE
~ImportAutoPerformorance Stage 1 KA turbo kit
(http://www.import-autoperformance.com/t ... 1plus.html)
~Z32 brakes
~Some watermelon shooter exhaust etcetcetc.

I chose a V8 for a couple reasons. Turboing/tuning working on the Ka is getting very old to me. Everyone and there mother father sisters brothers rabbit has a SR. rb's are getting very common.. etc. Plus 300hp Na out of the box is sweet.
Didnt go Ls1 bc well..its just to damn expensive for what my needs are. LS1 was a option but i stuck with something more close to home, The VH45de out of the Q45.

Nothing over the top as of yet bc i plan to daily this. Right now its KA-T and staying like i get it (putting on coilovers and wheels) til i start the swap. KAT will either be forsale after i swap it or im gunna hold onto it and throw it in a s13 and drive it at drift events and not care what happens :chuckle:


Plan for 2011 Season:
~VH45DE V8
~Z32TT 5spd
~Custom header with resonator and Magnaflow Dual tip Muffler
~Custom alternator relocation backet
~KA24de Power steering pulley (so it clears the rail.)
~New guides/Headgaskets etc
~Xcessive VH Swap Kit
~Xcessive VG 5speed Shifter Short
~Xcessive VH to VG Transmission Adapter
~ARP 151-2801 Flywheel bolts
~ARP 202-4303 Head bolts
~Supertech Springs/retainers
~Stage 1 ECU
~Mishimoto Radiator with E-Fans.
~HeadWork
~BC Coilovers
~Wheels

Pics of the car when i got it.

I like the BRM style exhaust. I have a magnaflow dual tip muffler on my S13. 240's just don't look the same without dual tips. I plan on getting the ISIS duals soon.


LOL. I had to look closer at the engine bay pic. I couldn't figure out where your cold pipe was.

I did the same thing and mistaked it for a coolant hose at first. haha. And i agree i had the BRM on my S13 and it couldnt have sounded any better. im hoping for the same response from the S14. Should be Fun trying to make a Y pipe and tucking it in there.
