look what i got:)

[wishing_on_a_sr]

well, to make a long story short, i was helping a friend move out of a place he rented, and i went into the garage to unhook the washer and dryer, when i noticed what looked to be a fresh ka24e head sitting on his work bench, i asked about it and he said that he had a 89 hatch in the past that he had turboed, but he had overboosted it and fried the pistons ( thats an understatement) well he proceded to show me all of his 240 stuff that he still had. At this point i had already decided that i wanted his turbo set up. Over a few beers and some cleaning he told me that i could have the turbo set up for 300 bucks... however i would have to take all of his other 240 stuff. DEAL! i took it all away that afternoon, and there was a lot of stuff:) alot of which was useless and got thrown in the spare bedroom of my house. Well... on to the pics
the usefull bits

this 60 trim is like new, no shaft play, or anything, i was told it was only on for 1500 miles, and i believe the dude

here she is with a home made log manifold


some 380 cc injectors with fuel rail


this is the head, it has damage in one cylinder, i dont think its an issue though, complete oem rebuild with 1500 miles on it


heres the close up of the damage, should i be worried?


came with a ecu, that is apparently already tuned for the set up. i need to varify this for sure though

looks like i have another diff, that makes 3, may weld this one, i currently have 2 j30s too

box of crap, intercooler piping, clutch fan, intake mani, etc

more boxes

single cam harness, that appears to be uncut. am i right?

snagged these things too

heres the piston that blew up, what would cause this? he told me he popped it at 15 psi when it was tuned for 8:/

upon closer inspection i noticed another piston cracked

so, i think i made out like a bandit for 300 dollars. i guess ill be swapping out my de for a single slamma!!! i think im going to find a block, and buy a rebuild kit and do it right. hopefully i can come out spending less than a grand without cutting corners i probably wont have a build thread for a few months though, my car is in dire need of a suspension set up, so i will do that the same time as the motor build, which unfortionately cant be now bc i am busy with my engineering job working on radio telescopes aka saving for the build
AND i want to make more power than a stock sr just because i can

well the turbo is not bad for the price. looks like one of the old T28 potato turbo. I would still rebuild it. don't know about that manifold. should go for a twin scroll. remember you still need maf, injectors, IC and piping, tune, oil lines.

good deal for 300, but not sure about the ka24de to ka24e-t swap...i would try and sell what i can and save up fot the sr your are wishing on...

i would try and sell what i can and save up fot the sr your are wishing on...

haha that does look good, but i agree, seems like it would be easier unless your de is messed up to just sell and save.

yeah, i thought about the sr swap a lot obviously, but i thought that this deal was a good one, i have basically everything save for the intercooler and piping, i have a variety of mafs, and in the box i found the old oil and coolant lines that go to the turbo. the 24e has a lot of potential too, ive been lurking on ka-t.org. my next step is to source a longblock for cheap and a rebuild kit for it.
