Just thought I would share this picture of Non Fujita's OS Giken KA motor. I emailed him awhile ago trying to find out about the carbon fiber valve cover but he never responded, at least i am pretty sure its carbon fiber, looks like it to me

Man, if OSG marketed a turbo kit that would rock. Pricey, but options are always nice.

Actually what they have is the exhaust manifold pistons and rods. the turbo is just a garrett t3/t4. on a side note the manifold is 1200 bucks

Rrright... cause so many KA-T owners pony up for full race quality manifolds.
