KA24DET Vert new pics!

[VeloceDrift]

here is my 94 vert. you might remember it from a few months back when i first got it.. its coming along now and i thought i would share some pics of what i have done.. still needs a lot of work to be running as good as i want it but i can only do a little at a time because im not rich. hope you like it

Here is a pic of my car before i got the new hood.

And here is one with the new hood

And here is the long awaited turbo!

please put a heat shield or blanket on that turbo before your BMC blows up and cacths on fire.

nice work..

[4cedkoop]

ditto on the BMC. Also, extend those PS lines so the resivoir isn't just sitting there. Other than that, doesn't look bad.

[sviellvoicae]

looks good dude! awwww just one flaw damn that bmc! u must fix it right now! dont go anywere just fix it!

I've melted my MBC twice

[Ihiryu]

hey man aren't you running that maf a bit close to the turbo?? My ka-t ran like *** when I did that, JWT says it needs to be at least 20" away, but mine is about 8" inches away

[VeloceDrift]

mine runs fine.... and i think i would have melted my bmc by now if it were to melt

[jamesblonde82]

did you notice ALOT more power, or was it just like a good noticable amount when you added your turbo. cuz im thinking about waiting and getting an SR20det, or just throwing a turbo in my KA24de now.

[VeloceDrift]

well right now i am barley boosting a pound and it feels a lil bit faster.. my turbo has seen better days but i should be getting my new one in the mail anyday and once i get it i will turn it up to around 6. I hope its a big difference.. my roomate has an SR20 running around 6 to 7 pounds and its pretty damn fast.. so thats what i am going to compare it to when i turn my boost up.

Project looks great man...question tho. Any reason you chose to no turn the turbo housing so you could keep the PS res mounted on the strut tower? I don't see any wastegate rods, so i can only assume its been welded and your running external. Also, is that FMIC a kit, or is it somthing you peiced together? The reason I ask that is because I'dlike to know where to get those reducer pipes with that 90* bend.

[NSRsheets]

Car looks nice. Turbo FTW.

[VeloceDrift]

Well i bought the kit off ebay for like $200:) i used all the pipes from the kit except the one coming off my turbo. i chose to put the turbo like that because it sticks out like a soar from;) Power steering works the same:) i will eventually relocate it.. And the reason you dont see a wastegate is because their isnt one. thats the reason that i am only running one pound. my new turbo will be here in a couple days with a brand new wastegate.

[Deadrodent]

slightly off top question...how are regulating boost without a wastegate?

[adrianfromthecastle]

looking good!

is brake fluid flammable? I mean I can see it melting, but catching on fire?

[VeloceDrift]

lol.... i sure hope not

[VeloceDrift]

slightly off top question...how are regulating boost without a wastegate?

well the internal wastegate valve is all screwy so i dunno.. i just know that my turbo is doin one pound right now when im in it.. thats why i purchased a new turbo. I just got it in the mail yesterday and putting it in on Thursday. ill be postin new pics when the new one is in.

[VeloceDrift]
