The reason no one has responded to your thread is that the questions you asked has been talked about many times before. Also, there isn't a lot as far as turbo kits but there is plenty of turbo parts. The power you're looking for doesn't require a rebuild.Greddy makes a kit but it's for the s14. It will fit the s13 with some modification.

Do some searching on here, there is a lot of good information, and then ask questions on stuff you don't easily find answers for.

nice car..

as stated we dont hold everyones hand, you must do the leg which is a ton of reading. Thats a might fine budget. IF you compression results come back good, I would say go ahead and fix anything that may be suspect on the car or has been overlooked by the previous owner. After the car is running great go forth with the build.

Also noticed no talks of the cars goal, track/drift/quarter/daily toy.. that helps us help you.

A 4k budget could build a car including suspension, with a safe rom tune on a stock ka, big injectors for overhead/weekend destruction, and have a little money for dyno runs and beer. but remember you are not going to get 4k back

This is a tech forum, we use caps and grammar here. I can't even read what you typed because it's a run on sentence with no breaks. Take the time to type clear and precise questions and we'll take the time to help you.

Read the stickies and you'll have all the answers to your current questions.

As for painting, take that one to 240Gen.

The SOHC only has a couple manifold options. I suggest buying the JGS kit and then matching that with a FMIC kit from eBay for the S13. For engine management I suggest buying a Rom tune and the injectors to match.
