s12 KA-T build

[josho]

Whats up guys. Its been a loooong time seens I posted on here. I recently got back into the Nissan game. I picked up an 87 200sx a few weeks ago and decided I wanted to drop a KA-T in it. So far its just been swapped. I've got a few turbo parts laying around, just gotta get a couple more things togther and she'll be going under the knife. I dont have many pics right but Ill snap a lot during the work. Here's a few to hold you over.

Thats her little sister there beside her, 1993 Silvia.... Yeah, its real




Thats all for now. If anybody has any ka-t parts they need to sell, hit me up! I've got a turbo, manifold and injectors.

Im only going to run 370's.... Praly wont work for me right now. But Ill let you know if my plans chane. Thanks

Still looking for ka-t parts but heres a little update for you guys; I got a few things done to the s12 today. Buffed out some of that 23 year old oxidation and changed the valve cover gasket. I snapped a few pics before it got dark but here's a few!

Before buffing













Just a little taste of what it looks like buffed. Still have to run over it with some wax.

Looks so much better! I'm digging the valve cover.

370cc's are a bit too small for your power goals. 250whp is about the safe limit of the stock maf and 370cc combo. If you're dead set on 275 whp you might want to look into s15 injectors, they are 460cc IIRC. Even then the stock maf is about at it's limit however. I'm assuming you're going bottom mount with a t25 or t28?

250whp is more then enough in an s12 though, you'll have plenty of fun with it. If you want more info just head over to the KA-T section, lots of help to be had over there.

Very nice, i enjoy the look of the s12 actually lol, Goodluck

[josho]

Thanks man. The valve cover paint was just a last minute decision while I was changing the gasket. Just a little rattle can job. I was just thinking about my injector yesterday. I've got some sidefeed 450'c.. That should be enough right? I also have z32 maf so thats not going to be an issue.
I also love the look of an s12 coupe. A lot of people dont like them for some reason...But then again, most people dont even know what they are. lol. Im abou to get to work on finishing this wax job and change the oil. Ill update with pics later!

Man I just love the old boxy cars like this one! Good luck with this, and definitely make her pretty!

[josho]

Ill do my best. I really wish I had taken pictures when I first got er!! She was a mess!!! But ill keep this thread updated with pics. My plans should be coming together very soon! I guess Im going to have to put the Silvia on hold for a little while

[josho]

well i got some freshly buffed pictures but my camera died whie taking pics. Heres a couple that I got.







More pictures to come very soon. I have a ka motor that im about to start building so Ill post TONS!! of pics of the progres.

[Hoffman5982]

what color did you paint the valve cover?

[josho]

I went to the autoparts store and got rustolium wheel paint. Its gray with a little metallic. The valve cover is very smooth. But that may be becaus eof my awesome rattle can skills. lol, jk. I know you're from Dothan so try to keep this car a little secret...if you dont mind?
