Ventura Racing now owns his own shop, I belived is in his home town of kissimmee florida. "Diesel Tech & Import"

[Boricuanology]

Sure!! What else you guys want to know, I will ask Ventura Racing,. Im gonna try to get the slip from the track to get all the informantion from the passes.

Ok here we go! The first picture is the one for the Turbo set up, and no this is not my set up, is the set up of Ventura Racing a Toyota Starlet which unfuntally was total while tunnig for more power to break into the 7's keep in mind that the 8.1 and 8.2ET's where the first time that this car went to the 1/4 of mile track. Some body ask for the HP of the set up, According to Michael Ventura: 703.89 HP@30 PSI.

As you can see in the picture I think i have enouth space for the turbo manifold.

I think you do, I REALLY like how your polished valve cover looks. I was planning on getting mine powdercoated while I'm doing the rebuild but I REALLY like how that looks... I think im going to polish the bling out of it now.

[veilside180sx]

keep the pictures coming I'm diggin' it...

[veilside180sx]

On a side note, what are you using for a headgasket?

[Boricuanology]

Im gonna be using a cometic head gasket, Ventura Racing spec. Michael Ventura thru tunning his car find the weekness of the headgasket so he order a special order with his spec. PS- I finally got the head and main ARP studs for the single cam, couldn't get as a kit so the price is a little more , around $300 thru Ventura Racing.

[Florida240sx]

Need to see more

[veilside180sx]

how much was the cometic too...?

what's Ventura Racings contact info?

[SxMachine]

Go Dats go. I've been debating on whether or not i wanted to build my sohc ka (maybe not to that extreme) for my 510. I would luv to know more about ya cars.

[Boricuanology]

Correction! It is not a cometic, its another brand, he mention is a very good one that top racers use, but he canot remember he will let me know tommorow (monday) since he got all that info. in his shop, speaking of his shop here it is,"Diesel Tech & Imports" Tel. (321) 697-0044 Ask for Michael Ventura.

[Boricuanology]

This is my opinion, a lot of people will go to swap a SR20DET, but I believed that the KA24 is an excellent power plant, for the price that i have seen the SR20DET engines you could build the KA24, in this case the KA24E 12 valve engine. I know the SR20DET is an excellent engine, but I have seen what the supposebly "Truck Engine" KA24E engine can do and this is an engine that pretty much u can get anywhere. I will let the 1320 feet be the answer to the question, which engine is better the SR20 or the KA24!

[veilside180sx]

Can you get me a part number for the ARP studs?

[Boricuanology]

As soon as I get the part number for the ARP stuff I will let you know by the way the head gasket that we are using is a "SCE" which have been use for years by top racers.

[veilside180sx]

Thanks, ahead for when you get me the part number. I'll look into the SCE gaskets.

[veilside180sx]

bump, still need part number

[Boricuanology]

Sorry, being very busy at work, + Michael Ventura "Ventura Racing" had a family emergency in homeland of Puerto Rico. As soon as I know u guys will know.

[veilside180sx]

No worries, thanks a lot.

Had a buddy order pistons and arp studs from him the other day too.

[Gavster]

Im excited by this discovery of ARP hardware and also a headgasket! Let me know how the stuff looks when your buddy gets it!

[ColumbusDrift]
