hey if its up and running thats great man....are you gonna post any pics up? we love to see

[Import_Ant]

awesome! and at a third of the cost (looks like the only thing holding you back is what is holding me back. fuel supply + tuning)

good numbers for 4psi!

[s86d]

Its running nicely; no stalling, surging, just smooth idle to redline. I will post a pic of the dyno that happened @1 today @xat when I find it.-Dave

[SlidnSideways]

Nice job bro...cheap or not its still cool. Glad to hear everything is going good with it and its idling like a champ!

Post that dyno for sure!

i was wondering what happen to you and your car dave, great job on finally getting it together

[Jookmasta]

nice job. i wonder if at four psi, does your car feel like its begging for more boost?

[214kka-et240sx]

really good job , i spent 1200$ on my ka-et and made 185 rwhp and 203 trq and it's not much but my car can move fast and like how it pulls you back to your seat , good job man props for you what kind of injectors are you using?

[s86d]

stock injectors with a 4:1 vortech rrfpr

I have tomei 555cc and a z32 maf I just need to save a few more $$ for an enthalpy ecu tune but I am not in a hurry. I have small stuffs that need my attention first. (alignment, valvecover gasket, the maitance items)

-dave

EDIT: canned that idea some guy bought my maf and plug for $200 so $80 profit cha ching

that sounds good! I live on USF Tampa Campus, and Im currently gathering parts for a KA-T kit myself.

[s86d]

I think the dip between 4500 and 5500 has something to do with the vortech fmu but I am not sure.-David

Its amazing what 4 psi can do, good job on the setup, its actually cappable of alot more with very little money spent.

So why leave the motor of the S14 stock?

[SxMachine]

Cheap, grimey, and boosted just how i like it. How many miles were on the engine and did u rebuild?

[koukiKA240]

if you shorten that intake pipe 1 in on both ends it would fit a lot better.

car looks good for so cheap. ~Sam

[1WheelWonder]

Nice numbers for the amount of boost.

[s86d]

Custom making an aluminum one in the near future to work with my z32 maf and it will be mandrel bent with tig (what bishes) welds.-Dave

[DRIFTEADOR]

what turbo is that again? straight t4? car looks good. who needs bling when you have boost

[turbo98_240sx]

who needs bling when you have boost

I couldn't have said it better myself and those are some great #'s for 4 psi and dosen't boost rock, its like the most addicting drug out there IMO. anyways keep up the good work I'm diggin the getto look on the outside, sleeper is the way to go..........

straight T4 S-3 trim

3200 sounds right for a kit. Let us know how much it puts down.-Dave

I left the S14 alone because If I detonated on the S13 I wouldn't be devastated for the next 6 months but now that I didn't blow up the S13, the S14 is most definately next.-Dave

[hannibal]

Looks damn good for the money you spent. Not bad numbers for 4psi and automatic!!

[s86d]

ok I am just going to keep updating this thread as my work progresses. As of all of last month the car has been rattle can painted (panda style) switched to 5 speed. (fidanza, RPS 475 TQ clutch, B&M SS, new mandrel intake pipe) Pics hopefully today or tomorrow and new 4psi dyno #s within the next 2 weeks.

hey I have a question

where you get the nismo boost gauge?

you don't mean this do you?

[Nismo_Freak]

awesome! and at a third of the cost

LOL...

[Import_Ant]

LOL...

funny, nice thread ressurection. I was pricing an S13 blacktop from HeavyThrottle at the time and that's what price comparison I think I based the statment off of.

[s86d]

hey I have a question

where you get the nismo boost gauge?

you don't mean this do you?

nope 60mm or phi boost gauge as they call it. goes to 1.8 bar black face glows led green with red nismo lettering looks hawt. but that went in my SR s14 I have a decent gauge setup in the panda. one second.-Dave
