[DriftingCrab]

Could some one give me a list of products or companys that i could use for and engine build or maybe just the total setup.What i am looking for is to build a daily driven KA-T at about 250-300 hpand is it possible to do for around $2500-$3000.Thanks

Welcome to NICO!

A good place to start would be our sponsor IAP.http://www.import-autoperformance.com/

Even with your NICO discount, their kit will run you more than $3000. But at least you'll learn what you need to setup a KA-T.

You probably dont NEED a rebuild for 300whp, but if you can spend the money, its added piece of mind.

You can piece a kit together yourself for about $3000. Take some time and look around. You'll see plenty of options to consider. Also, be sure to check out the KA-T FAQ at the top of the forum. It has tons of good info to get you started.

Here's a parts list I made a few years ago. Hope this helps...

I did my turbo setup for right around $3200 and its my daily driver. I also have a IAP kit, runs good.

+1 for what IWannaS15 said. not much else to add but if you can weld, ur definitely gonna be able to make the cut with your budget mark with ease..............

Does IAP still give a NICO discount?If so, how much?I'm asking because I know a while back they did, but I wasn't ready to buy. Now I can't find whether they still sponsor NICO or not.Thanks,Alex

[91RMKS13]

I was wondering the same thing it seems as if turbo240 has replaced them as our sponsor . Also Geo what kinda numbers are you putting out and did you just buy the full kit from IAP?

[hannibal]

^ Doh! You guys are right. I forgot that turbo240 sponsors this forum now. Theyre still working on a KA turbo kit. It should be worth the wait...

myRed240, you have 28k miles on your S14?!? Thats amazing...

[myRed240]

It's actually only 26,502. I noticed yesterday that I typed it wrong.....oops!

Does anyone know how long before AMS/turbo240 finishes their kit? I was gonna go with JGS' kit, but it's ~a 4week wait at this point. I want to get it done before another semester of school starts back up. I guess I'll have to piece one together.......

26k original miles? pop that cars cherry.

JGS has a really good kit. I think its the best deal going right now. j-z installed his a few weeks ago. Just catch 'em soon. The price has been going up lately...

And there is a fairy good wait, I ordered mine alittle over 3 weeks ago and its still in production, Hopefully it gets done next week since I'm really excited about going boost!

As for a setup I've spent around $3k on parts not counting install cost. There are people who have built for less but I want a reliable setup with good power. I'm shooting for 230rwhp but could easily get 350rwhp.

Some advice would be do your research before buying parts, research about boosting KA's, and a good trusted shop!

Good luck!

I brought the FULL kit and at 7psi , it should be putting down like 230rwhp

[91RMKS13]

No he was answering my question about his kit (read above).

[Bosrudorfer]

It's actually only 26,502. I noticed yesterday that I typed it wrong.....oops!

BTW mine has less

[91RMKS13]

I hate you both. Both of my S13s have 170,000+ .

[bigbadbrad]

IAP, that's what I'd get.
