PICS of your KA-Ts!

[fiznat]

I know we have the KA-T websites and there has probably been a thread like this before, but hey I'm bored and we gotta break up all these old posts floating around anyways huh?

So post up the most recent pic youve got of your KA-T, maybe tell a little about it too.

Pic I took of mine today:



She cranks over now, but not gettin any fuel or spark just yet. Hopefully I'll get it all sorted out soon- my tax refund is going towards professional tuning so its gonna be up and running very soon I hope.

i have some cleaning up to do after the winter when i pull her back out. only visual thing missing in this picture is the MSD 7al-2

both of you guys have some sweet IC piping.

FIZ- i think you had your piping welded by CIP? where did you get the actually piping and/or how did you get it to shine so nice? i want to make some new piping just like yours

Daniel - what was the process you did for your valve cover? i want it to be a mirror after i install my new headgasket and studs after the winter

God the KA is an ugly engine... lol.

It's a good thing looks doesn't matter.

Lets try to keep every post containing a pic of your KAT. So we don't end up with a thread full of crap. It started off nice until the moderators chimed in...lol.

[Jookmasta]

hey structure, was ur cold pipe custom or did u get it from a kit? im looking to run my cold pipe while still maintaining the factory size battery. what size diameter is it? and what diameter is the rest of ur piping?

[daniel240]

To polish the valve cover i used steel wool and mothers polish. i suggest removing it first. get a few different grades of steel wool. theres like 5 or 6 ranging from course to fine. I used the more course stuff. start with the course steel wool then move to the finer and when your done buff it with mothers polish. the longer you spend on it, the better it will look. i think i spent a good 3 or 4 hours on mine.

[daniel240]

well this summer i switched to a jgs manifold and i went ahead and got a front mount since i was going to have to redo some of my ic piping.

Yeah Jeff at CIP did the welding for me, I actually got the pipes through him as well. The pipes themselves were already mirror finish aluminum mandrel bends: VERY nice looking I gotta say. My end of it was pretty much to not scratch them up as much as possible. Thats why the intake pipe looks the best out of all of them heh, cause I had to touch it the least. Give Jeff a call. His prices on the pipes are semi-reasonable considering the quality you get, and (although I wouldnt reccomend doing the welding via mail or anything) he did a pretty nice job with the tig work also.

Oh heh and to keep this a photo-rich thread, another shot of the KA-T in progress. lol I swept the floor in the garage today so I had to take a pic. Usually theres crap everywhere:

[Tictakman]

daniel- you can clean up the positive wires next to the fuse box. if you open up the fuse box there is empty space inside. i did this and it looks a little better under the hood. just a thought. im gonna have to try to buff up my spare valve cover. thanks for the tips

LOL, I think you've adequately protected your engine from the alien mind altering waves!

Hail KA-T monger from Houston.

[koukiKA240]

LOL thanks, what can i say i have an EXTREME FEAR of all things hot (even though i live in houston).

But the heat blanket on the hood was more for looks, better than my tired old black one. And i just dont feel like bubbly P/S, and esp brake fluid.~Sam

[Structure240sx]

jook it is from my nsport kit. thats what my ka-t started with. i plan on making some new piping in the spring or go with a greddy IC kit.

if you interested in the cold pipe or my entire FMIC kit let me know. maybe ill will jsut switch to the greddy sooner

heres another pic to keep with the rules

Built engine ready to go in

Long live KA-Ts!

[daniel240]

Wow maxtype240 that has got to be one of the cleanest kat's ive seen. did you polish your intake manifold? im going to pay to have mine done.

[daniel240]

hey thanks a lot. i will have to do that. I also want to get rid of all the extra emissions vac hoses and stuff but i need to do some more research and find out everything i can take out. i think it will look 10 times better if i ever get all that stuff removed.

[klattr1]

setup is in transformation again.

[chad ka-t]

[doriftomunkee]

man u guys got nice setups...i hope mine was as nice as u guys...keep the ka-ts going hhe=)

[MaxType 240]

Daniel, I polished it by hand. That was 4yrs ago before I was introduced to power tools...

Everything else, I've done w/ air tools...

Jesse

PS - Wait until I add my polished injector caps I think I'm starting to cross that unspoken line...

[240SXmotoring]

here is my s14....been like 4.5yrs and going strong



here is the Race car.....still well under construction and these pics are very old....motors are done and intake manifold made, along with a new custom exhaust manifold.....and the engine bay looks 1000x better

[240slidekat]

[fiznat]

Woah haha Jeff- I see you didnt even TRY to make the front bumper support work there huh? Hahaha slick work, I cant wait to see either or both cars in person!

how are you guys getting the intake mani's to look chrome? Is it by hand with steel wool? or by some type of air tool....I have a spare intake mani and i wanna do that for my turbo install....Thanks guys, any tips would be helpful. Nice setups by the way

[Toahk]

heres mine. kinda dirty i just finished

Lol! is that a water hose? Nice!
