Jesus...
I went to lunch and this thing blew up
As far as Plasma goes, if you're prior Military or Active Duty and have had the Anthrax vaccinations you can sell your plasma for $50 a wack, 2 times a week and you get a bonus at the end of the month, totalling $900. That's how it works here in TX. Check your local yada yada yada...
Koshin, are you on the mainland or? I was at Kadena for 4 years. I was a GTS-t guy though In hindsight building a few SR's and shipping them home with me would have been the thing to do.
I like all cars and all motors that make good power and do the friggin hula. With that said, I'm a KA fan because it's every bit as good as the SR and it already resides in the damn car. The SR is a great motor, I've driven Silvia's over on Oki and some of them dudes were damn quick. But my general rule of thumb is, if you're gonna do a motor swap, install something that's gonna make real power...such as any SBC or 351 and up Ford motor.
But I have the KA, so the KA is what I'm using.
My first motor tossed the #3 rod at about 20 psi...at least that's what the setting was when it went. It was an oil problem, I'm sure of it, since the stock rods and pistons for that matter have been proven on the dyno to be good until roughly 500 ft lbs. That's where the rod starts to bend. The pistons really haven't officially reached the peak power point yet, on a dyno at least because people swap them with the rods long before they get there. That's all fact ladies and gentleman.
My new/used motor got a new pump and I shimmed the relief valve for more pressure
My only real limiting factor will be the FMU. I know it's not generally something anyone would use in any type of competition. Then again, I've never been one to follow the herd. I just have no real working budget, so the 4:1 FMU is going to take me to 10 maybe 12 psi of boost. I have a inline pump and a 255lph intank pump that will supply the fuel. I'll use water injection to kill any knock that shows up I might even run a 2 stage setup with one nozzle preturbo and just get rid of the intercooler all together...we'll see. Short piping might help spool my T4
In the end though, not only will my car make more power with less boost but I'll be quicker down the 1320...again all fact
