Manifold Choice's or Suggestions

[side waz]

Hey everyone.

Well Im gona do it! Im turboing my KA.

So now I would like some help chosing a manifold that has good flow, solid construction and will fit an SR T25 or T28 turbo.

I also don't want it to break the bank. Im only going to be running 10psi for a while so it's not like I need a full race one. I would take one used to if anyone has it for sale as long as it's in great shape.

So please let me know and thanks, I appreciate.

I can't wait to say I have a KA-T

Take care guys.

Easy

i will be turboing the ka with the sr t25.

the manifold i am going to use is the SSA manifold that places the turbo in the same location as the sr so i will be able to use the sr20s downpipe and not have to custom make one.

How much do they go for?

[kamikazestorm420]

you can get them from ebay for like 300 including the o2 pipe

I'm still edumacacting myself on Forced Induction, but isn't that turbo way too small for the 2.4L KA?

yeah, but it depends on who ya talk to, I would think for road racing it would be ok because of spool, right?

I don't really know. Looking at compressor maps for a Garrett GT25, it looks like it would be very inefficient for our engines. Then again, I believe Aceinhole made a tremendous amount of power out of a T25.

As I said, my goals are modest power (230hp to the wheels), quick spool and relatively linear power delivery. I'm definitely not aiming for monster top end numbers.
