Same ol s13, but now in delicious boost flavor

[SloS13]

Its running open downpipe, non-intercooled, and non-idling, but that'll be fixed by tuesday.

Its fun!. Got the install done basically by myself in about 20 hours

[fiznat]

comeon man say something better than "it's fun!" Its always interesting reading reviews of people's KA-Ts... Makes me want to do mine even more!

[SloS13]

It pulls like a son-of-a-whore compared to NA. The turbo iself is freaking insanely loud, which is cool. The feeling of getting pushed back in your seat is awesome. I just went for a ride in the rain and couldnt keep my new falken ziex's planted on the road. Earlier today, me and my friend went rice hunting and blew by a mid-ninties celica. both of the guys in the car's jaws dropped. It was fun as hell. I've put a good 60 miles on her today revving at stoplights to keep from stalling while using my parking brake to keep from moving.

Oh yeah, did I mention i have 200k miles on my KA? lol is that a record?

[pstickne]

200k? On a Nissan? On a KA24DE at that? Record?

Hell, no :-)The KA isn't some american 4-cyl. <grin>

[SloS13]

No, i meant somebody turboing a KA24DE with 200k miles

[Structure240sx]

damn i thought i was good at 122,000mi. why wont it idle?

[SloS13]

i figured out the idle. it was a vacume thing. runs soooo much better now. Killed a modded civic

[Structure240sx]

good job

[Structure240sx]

meant to ask was the vacuum problem with the bov?

[SloS13]

i didnt have the idle control hooked up.

Hey, i could use a bit of help.

The stock intake tract has a bunch of vac lines on it.

I got a question on the botton one, its freaking huge, like 1.25". What is that, and what do i do with it?!?

Thanks!

[Structure240sx]

not sure which one u mean. not the one that goes to the valve conver right? that one isnt t hat big. i know s13's have another one near the mafs right? i dont know what it is AIV maybe

[lbrowne]

so did you purchase junkyard/salvage yard parts for your set up?

how much boost you running? how much did all this cost you?

I believe you are talking about the idle valves intake track. I'm routing my a few inches away from the TB as Dennis did...

[SloS13]

Thanks for the vacume advise. Its NOT a junkyard setup. Here's a quick rundown

Turbonetics t3/t4 Stage III, 360 degree thrust bearingFMAX manifoldFMAX downpipeTial 35mm wastegateCustom IC pipingCustom 3" exhaust with dynomax 3" mufflerTurboXS HP Boost controllerTurboXS RFL BOV (i know...ricey )

Crane ignition with rev limiter and boost retardMSD Blaster II coil

Falcon Ziex tires on stock wheelsKYB AGX's in the mail ST springs in the mailJDM VLSD in the mail

No body work, no paint. just dings and oxidation, and its going to stay that way. Total sleepr

[Trppen37]

woah cool...so at first were there any leaks and stuff??? how about removing the oil pan?? was it a ******??? and hows ur timing?? are you goin to make a FAQ....?

[SloS13]

timing is stock, but is retarded automatically when boosted.

leaks: yes, but havent figured it out yet. need to degrease the motor.

Oil pan. I didnt remove it I just tapped it and gave it 4 oil changes, ran it for a minute, changed it again. gonna change it again in a couple days and add a magnetic plug and filter attachment. This might be unheard of, but it's been done on many cars successfully, as long as you're careful. Im not suggesting it to anyone though

[Trppen37]

by automatically when boosted..how did u do it?? and what did u tap the oil pan with....regular drill???

[SloS13]

I used a unibit for the drilling.

Retard according to boost isnt anything new. My ignition is a Crane and has rev limiter and boost reatard. It has its own map sensor which can see boost and retard timing accordingly

Here's a short, crapy vid of the 240http://67.33.14.41/240/images/vid/boost.wmv

Here's a unibit. ~$35
