Man I'm wanting to build KA now and my SR hasn't even blown up yet hahha. Then I need a CA, and a FJ, and a ... damn you Nissan (BAKA NISSAN!)!

So, I'm open to hear some budget KA'T builds. I got a good idea of what I'd do to build one but I wanna hear what sorta goods you guys got running on yours.

Yeah man thanks ALOT!

I think I'll be looking to do a KA24DET swap into a hardbody if I can find some decent suspension for them. My uncle still has my 1st Nissan/Car ... which was a faded blue hardbody w/ no powersteering w00t! I'm thinking of trying to buy it from him.

You can have my Greddy kit. :) It's just sitting around on my blown motor. I don't think it'll be on a budget though.

Ive seen healthy KAs with onbly Nismo Cams and ARP Head Studs make well over 400rwhp! Its all abou tuning.

I also seen Over 320rwhp start to bend rods. So Id say some crower rods, Wiseco Pistons and some nice cams and head studs, n port match the head. And say hello to 500+ ponies...TUNING IS KEY THO
