Hey guys I'm thinking about buying this from another NICO member that currently has it for sale in the classifieds but just wanted some opinions as to what you think about it good or bad. I currently have and afc neo installed on my n/a ka.I know i'm still gonna need a boost gauge, downpipe, wideband, an intake of sum sort and thats all i can remember at the moment. This will be done on the stock DE maf

Cheap turbo, cheap manifold, no downpipe(you will have to fab one yourself), and an Entance ecu? Is Entance the Ebay company?

Find out some more info about the ECU first, if its the Ebay ecu, your taking a risk. I mean the kit seems pretty complete, minus the downpipe. If you got a great deal on it it might be worth it.. That kit also will only be good for at max like 200-220 hp if i can remember the injector spreadsheet correctly..

This is what it says word for word. I'll ask him about the ecu. I'm really only looking for like 220whp just for a fun dd and sum quarter mile track runs.

This is the 3rd time ive turboed one of my 240's and the car makes great power with this setup. I would keep the kit, but im swaping in a fully build CA for higher revs because my car is a track car. Kit contains: Pulsar GTiR t28SSAC t28 manifoldStainless 02 elbow JGS SS oil feed lineJGS oil return line Ka24de oil pan with return line bung welded onEvo 8 FMICall intercooler piping with tbolt clampsintake pipe off turbosr20 370cc injectors in ka24 railEntance tunded ka24de ecu for 370cc inj, timing retard in boostGreddy type S BOV (not installed but included)

this car PULLS HARD at only 8psi. Many guys on ka-t.org are making around 250whp with the GTiR turbo at 8psi. with some 555cc inj,z32 maf and 12psi guys are makin around 300whp!!! right now with 8psi i have STOMPED on evo's, STI's, EVERY SR20 ive came accross. the only thing left you would need to install this is any sr20 downpipe ($70 on ebay). im keeping mine because i have a bung welded in it for my wideband. the kit cost me over 1800 to make and was only used for a short while and all parts are in great condition. Right now not looking to part out

The entrance ecu was bought from sum1 on ka-t.org.

I asked a few questions about the ecu and this is what he said.
lilskyline240 wrote:I believe the tune pulls out like 10degrees total i think. so you should be alright up to 12psi if you run 93 octane. your timing at the dizzy is set at stock. the timing retard is all in the tune so you dont need to mess with the stock timing. AFR was around 12:1 at full boost and 14.5 cruising
Im 98% sure im gonna buy it but just want a few opinions.

I have never heard of a "entance ecu" before.

Does he mean "E-Mance" tune?Because Jason at E-mance is an awesome guy and does some damn nice tunes for an awesome price.

IDK, you could just peice one together for that price.... if he is selling you ebay stuff just get your but on ebay and price everything together(including D/P), get a junkyard oil pan and bung from jgs,find a good turbo, not a ssac one though,make damn sure his isnt, if its from nissan it has a lil badge..... ssac t28 horror story from my boy I got my t25 from... 1800 dollar turbo.

first off, YES THE TUNE IS E-Mance like i thought.YES he sells his stuff on ebay.

I beg to differ. The owner of E-Mance is VERY knowledgeable, and knows what he is doing.

His customer service is amazing, and his tunes are damn good to.

I havn't heard bad things from anybody about him, and if something goes wrong, HE FIXES IT!

Along with his tunes, he offers lifetime support on the tunes and will even re-tune them for you!

Don't talk smack on things you don't know about please.

Also, if you dont mind me asking, what is this horror story? I'd like to hear it.

maybe its adifferent guy but the ones I've seen look like scam... I'll admit I dont recall the name of the person but dont think it was emance, I just personally dont like BLIND tunes, same(well close enough) for jwt, they dont come to your house and hook up to your car, so the tunes provided are mild or weak(safe though)....

the turbo horror story isnt mine but I will share, a friend bought a turbo from someone on eghey selling a t28somehting or another, he got it it looked legit form the "interwebnetz business" site, drove a few miles, let a friend drive, it starved from oil form a piece of ish(we assume inside the turbo), and the damn shaft moved(seperate problem) almost an inch digging into the housing.... 1800 dollars later its a real garrett.
