Yea if your goals are for inefficiency!

Re read what smocan and mrgreeneyes said. you have my post.

Basically a waste of time. I find it funny the guy likes JDM stuff like sil conversions but didn't get a jdm motor when his setup probably cost him as much as any average swap motor.

boo kat

2nd KAt- all that tastey tuning and they left the engine stock...

going to blow it up fast. Either do internals and enable safer fun w/ all the boost or at least clean the valve cover LOL...

Seems like a part disposal though.. Either that or they are running low boost on both turbos..

I stand corrected obviously. I'm done paper racing, but I'd rather do all that to a square motor.

Arguing that an SR is better or that the KA isn't good cause it's not SQUARE is a futile and idiotic argument for people with no real world experience. Anyone can vomit up information they read somewhere else. The KA is a perfectly fine motor to boost. If you achieve 450whp in an S Chassis car you've already made your platform traction limited. So I fail to see how swapping in a SQUARE motor will improve anything.

Arguing the SR is better is like arguing that an apple is better then an orange.

This is a thread about a KAETT...no more talk other then that...friggin leghumpers

There is one major point to this:

BRAGGING RIGHTS!!

"I've got a KA-T. Spent $XXXX and X years on it.""Uhuh. Nice. I've got a KA-TT. It may not be faster than yours or make much sense but hey, its a KA-TT."
