Ok, after much debate, sleepless nights and neglecting my friends and family i think ive finally made my decision.

ive decided to boost my KA24DE. I dont want to hear "go sr" or "do somthing else other than boost that engine" because i have gone through ALL the options available to me. (RB, s13, s14, everything..)

this is the most pheisable (car is 97, emissions is a problem) and realistic for my current situation. now that thats out of the way...

What is needed for doing a KA-T? (i know all the components of a turbo kit, i have made one for a honda) but specifically i need to know WHERE to get most of the parts?

who sells manifolds? where can i get them?

oil feed and return lines? (where should the feed line hook up to?) and who sells a kit with all the correct fittings?

will FMIC kits for SR's work with the KA?

i assume SR downpipes will work, correct?

is there a website for this info? there has to be somwhere (ive searched for hours, i cant seem to find anything other than SR vs. KA threads)

thanks for any input :help :D

you searched the KA-T forum? thats where i found everything out besides for some info from maximum boost but manifolds.........

revhardunstable-hybrids.comrealnissan.com -i think this is where im gettin mine frometdracing.com

oil lines, flangs, piping(not made).....jgstools.com

sr fmic kits.....i dont know if anyone has done this but i wouldnt. who knows if everything will match up. i would just buy the i/c by itself and then just get all the piping either made for you or use the link above and cut the piping yourself.

any websites that will help.......you are looking at it. you can find AMAZING info in this section. like i said before i had no knowledge of turbo kits and this site has done a lot for me. we will see how everything works out in a month when i start puttin it together
