The head work is nice, but not necessary for that kind of horsepower. You'd be better pressed getting something else with the money, like rods. And you're gonna need a manifold. Other than hardware (as well as oil feed and return line) you're looking good.btw, a girl interested in this stuff is so HOT!

[Nismochick240]

lol thanks-- i get head work and machining done for cheap so thats why i'm doing it... oh yea i forgot about oil lines N i think the manifold is kinda a given need! lol! Head work = 200 bucks

[nissanfanatic]

T4 turbo doesn't say much. Personally, go with a T3. I used to be all about T4, even wanted my new manifold to be T4, but thank god they messed up and put a T3 on because there is really no reason to go T4. T3 leaves you with so many options to upgrade....

What is epathy.com? Think you meant http://www.rs-enthalpy.com lol

Fuel rail...stay stock.

rewire the fuel pump: http://www.ka-t.org/tech

You'll need to factor in machine work as well..

thats what i meant on the tuning lol... not the best a spelling lol

nissanfan - a t3 for 350+hp? nismochick how far do you plan on taking it past 350hp? or are you saying just around 350? . i also think you should get rods since your starting off so good you might as well finsih it off with rods then it would be perfect. good luck and let us know if you need help

[Craving4Boost]

also i think 3" IC pipes arent necessary. id say 2.5" will do you good enough.

[Nismochick240]

i plan on more boost on the track... 400-450 is my max for a daily driver

[240DRFT]

thats a lot for a dd. and if your gonna be changing lots of things while its turboed u might want to get a piggyback instead of just a ecu so u can adjust.

[DammitBobby]

We really need a sticky for something like this. We get a lot of the same questions.

Missing boost gauge. I would recommend Zeitronix wideband because it allows for boost gauge and all of it can be data logged. Which is nice when you are tuning and troubleshooting. Figure 400 bucks + 109 for Zeitronix wideband with monitor and boost gauge. You might as well throw in a SAFCII for fine adjustments. For the injectors our sponsor Deatschworks injectors drop in no replacing fuel rail no resistors no problems. Also get a good exhaust manifold. Don`t waste money on crap not for the power goals you are wanting to achieve. Also forget open diff it gets real scary with 200 rwhp. Remember HP is expensive and doing it the second time is more expensive.

Quick question have you ever rode in a 240 with 200 rwhp and up?

[nissanfanatic]

T3 inlet flange I meant.

Obviously a T04 compressor of some sort.lol

[Nismochick240]

yea i've riding in a 350rwhp sr'd 240sx... if yall are worried about a girl driving a fast car, dont worry about me i've dragged a couple of rides in my short life time lol... i got to break the new 2006 EVO MR in like 2 weeks ago! lol! So driving hp isnt a problem

i had a list made of stuff i need but i lost it... lol... there is a sticky of good stuff at ka-t.org! but all the stuff yall are saying are bringing back memories of stuff on my list...

do i need a "t3" flange for a t4 turbo?? is soo why?

Driving an EVO MR isnt hard. It's all wheel drive, and has the active center differential. Even if you purposefully tried to drive it off a cliff, it wouldnt let you. =] Now I will say that I havent driven an EVO, but a friend of mine has one, and says that they are safe cars, even with the power they produce.

[Craving4Boost]

get a t3 flange manifold because its like a standard thing now a days for ka-t.

[Jookmasta]

um, new maf. z32 maf preferably. t3/t4 turbo should do the trick. i say get 600 or even 650 cc injectors from deatchwerks as the price difference is very marginal if any. plus since ur gettin a tuned ecu, y not get bigger injectors right? it'll leave u room for other options later down the road. a fuel pressure regulator would also help. use the stock fuel rail. 2.5" inch intercooler piping will work for u just fine. gauges, oil lines, heat wrap, and probably an ignition system as spark may become an issue. hope this helps.

+1 for being hot due to her interest in the project.......actually just for her posting this thread. lol.

[Nismochick240]

lol thanks jookmasta lol

whats the best ignition system to get?

[Nismochick240]

BUMP* I COMPLETLEY EDITED MY FIRST POST. I DIDN'T WANT TO START A NEW THREAD SO I JUST REDID THIS ONE HAHA! ANYWAYS, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

I ONLY HAVE 1 QUESTION THIS TIME: WHAT SIZE WASTEGATE WOULD BE BEST FOR LETS SAY AROUND 12PSI?!?

[nissanfanatic]

-> HEAD STUFF <- port n polish 3< valve job valve stem seals nismo headgasket (heavy duty hehe) (prolly not going to buy aftermark springs+)

Never heard of a Nismo head gasket. Cometic head gaskets are pretty much the standard past 350ft/lbs of torque along with ARP head studs.

-> BLOCK <- 8:5:1 piston (wiseco more than likely) Forged rods block is getting bored if needed to match the new pistons. but i think the pistons may come to match stock bore.

Don't do it. Go ahead and do a .5mm(.020") overbore no matter what. Safer for reliability and overall performance of the engine. First of all, have the block/head hot tanked. A clean foundation is key. You'll need bearings. OEM or Clevite only. You'll want to have the entire rotating assembly balanced. You'll want to have everything blueprinted. You'll want to have the head and block machined flat to a MIRROR FINISH! That is required for the cometic and most metal headgaskets to seal. Go ahead and decide on rods. Crower or Pauter are pretty much your only choices within reason. Have the crank micro-polished even tho they come micropolished from the factory. Have them shim the oil pressure relief valve to up oil pressure some. Get all new timing components. And make sure it is assembled right. I'd personally pop in every so often(unannounced) to check on progress. Keep them in line...

-> FUEL <- 650CC injectors (just in case i wanna upgrade a bigger turbo) walboro fuel pump FPR wideband 02 z32 MAF

Cool deal. Make sure you rewire the Walbro. And a FPR really isn't needed..

-> TURBO PARTS <- T3 turbo .48 exhaust/.60compressor manifold (hopefull revHARD) 3in downpipe FMIC w/ 2.5-3.0 piping wastegate oil lines

Bigger turbo. Nuff said. 2.5" intercooler piping is as big as you need to go. And a Blow off valve. Greddy Type S or RS are pretty much the norm along wiht HKS SSQV and TurboXS valve. Then you have other ones like 1st gen DSM valves, Bosch valves, and valves of that nature.

-> TUNING <- RS-ENTHALPY flashed ecuSAFCII MSD BTMIf i could afford a laptop i'd prolly go stand-alone lol

BTM and SAFCII are not needed wiht the Enthalpy tune. I only run an SAFC to do very fine tuning/Dec air. My level of fine tuning really isn't even needed.

-> MISC <- gauges (boost, a/f, vacuum (if not w/ boost gauge) couplers for ICP bolts and other stupid stuff i'm gonna need along the way.

A credit card for your local hardware store.LoL Trust me, you'll be going up there a lot...

Anything will prolly cover you in terms of wastegate. I run a Turbonetics Evolution 35mm just fine up to 14psi. IF you recirc, do it right. I prefer to just dump to atmosphere.

Quote »do i need a "t3" flange for a t4 turbo?? is soo why? [/quote]Turbos will always be labeled. May it be:

T04BT04ET04RT04S

Those are all T4 flanged turbos

Then you have

T3 super 60T3 60trim

Those are T3 flanged turbos

Hybrid turbos combine the two. T04 compressors attached to T3 turbines. This can provide quick spool without sacrificing top end efficiency.

T3/T04ET3/T04BT3/T04RT3/GT40

those are all examples of Hybrid turbos. They all use a T3 turbine flange.

Without question, the best turbo, with efficiency in mind, for the KA is the T3/T04E 50trim. For streetable powerband, a .48ar Turbine housing will provide quick spool and decent power up to about 300whp. A .63ar turbine housing can give you quick-decent spool up and good power up to about 400whp. Past 400whp, you'll need to be looking into a different turbo setup anyhow, so I won't go much further into detail on turbine housing selection, but there are larger sizes avaliable.

A well designed tubular manifold will compliment any turbo you choose very well! More power at lower boost. That means less stress on the engine to make good power.

[Jookmasta]

well cory covered it pretty much. ill just say that the msd blaster ss coil wouldnt hurt throw on also. gonna need good spark at that level and use cory's ignition write up when installing it as it helps.
