School Project ka-t

[Florida240sx]

I'm going to school to become ASE certified. One of the classes is turbocharging. Through the grapevine somehow the instructor has heard of my past and asked me to help teach the class. I'm in his electronics class right now. So talk a bit with him and one of the school's donated cars is a 95 zenki . So as of right now I brought in my spare ka-t mani and they have a tdo5 turbo from a mits that is mint.I'll post pics up when it starts. Which the class is over december 16thish so shoudl ge trunning pretty quickly. I was wanting to forgot the class and just do it myself during my class lol. I started grabbbing tools and got told to go on break lol.This is a Auto zenki btw

[spooled240]

man what a coincidence! Donor cars are usually '84 lebarons and other sh*t lol

sounds interesting/fun, keep us updated on the donor ka-t project!

My brother's community college class had an 04 Viper, lol.

I'll subscribe to this! Just let us know if you post another 'official' thread...

This school has 3 alignment machines 9 lifts All snap on tools and much more.

[boznuttz]

We had about 40 transmissions laying on one side of the shop. It was a sick place, but it's getting shut down soon since there isn't enough interest in ASE certifications in the localized area.

As for the Viper, the kids that were there had no idea what they were doing. Maybe 1 out of every 30 kids there knew their stuff about cars, but most were ricers just trying to get through.

.....sounds like us over here in the KA-T Forum

Wow Florida thats the exact setup im planing on doing. but i have my s13 zenki so i guess we will se how it works out. what do you have in mind for injectors? I'm thinking about running the stock dsm TSI OR GSX injectors which i belive is 455cc. What do you have in mind for the tuning device? Ya im going auto too for now Let me know how it goes.

[boznuttz]

Lol, we all might have been in the past to some degree...but then we got ourselves edumacated!

[S14toRPS13]

coming through!! CAn't wait to see the progress.

[480sx]

That really makes me want to buy a junker 240, body work it, then donate it to the turbo class i would take. That would be fun as hell, IF the instructor knew his ****.

Make sure you get a DIY tuning system, wideband, and an EGT gage. That would be awsome to get a car to practice tuning on. Since KA's are so cheap it wouldnt be a big deal if it blew.

[boznuttz]

As long as you aren't out to make that KA a predetination whore, lol.

[spooled240]

yeah, have it run decent for the time being, then crank the boost up to 30psi on the last day lol

[eazye2000]

...crank the boost up to 30psi on the last day lol

I agree 100%!!!! To the moon bishes!!!

[S13FX]

I can just see this now. As soon as the car starts running, and all the kids see it, next day all you will see in the parking lot are 240's :-p

But it definitely sounds like a bad *** project.

When I was in high school or so many years ago, I helped my buddy rebuild his engine in his Camaro IROC.

First engine pretty much I ever laid my hands on and ripped a part. From then on it was pretty much instant love with auto mechanics hehe.

haha, yeah then the ricers emerge that want to put down 500+hp on a ka w/ 200,000 miles puffin blue smoke

a turbo a/t would be a pretty fun ride, especially launching and doing burn-outs when you can spool the turbo on the brake while the car is at rest.

[Florida240sx]

If anyone has a set of 370cc injectors let me know. Going to swap them into the car. Taking my NGK wideband in to see if it's safe. Going to talk to him more and see hwo far he wants to go. I have a safc II I could throw on it too. Will be getting all the parts back.

[Florida240sx]

Anyone needing turbo ka help just ask me. I've been through almost all of it.

[Florida240sx]

It gained 30rwhp at 5psi. stock ieverything,crappy fuel, 0 tuning, etc. I'm taking my camera to school tomorrow.

[distantcrowd]

Are you going to UTI in orlando for school...

Just wondering I didnt think anyone had any cool classes like that or I would have re-thought going to school and getting certified.

Where exactly are you in deland I would love to see some of your cars to get an idea what kind of setup I want/could to do if thats cool with you...

[91ka_240]

hey eazye2000 jus had a question about your picture below your comment. why don't you have a fan next to your pullys? cuz i do and was just wondering if u took them out or what? thanks

[DeXteR]

... they have a tdo5 turbo from a mits that is mint...

14b? 16g? 18g? 20g?!

tdo5 doesn't tell us mitsu guys anything... can i get dibs on that when you guys are done with it?

[eazye2000]

hey eazye2000 jus had a question... why don't you have a fan? just wondering if u took them out or what?

I have a 16" electric fan for my main cooling fan. It's directly on the radiator. Also have a 10" for the 210+ degree turn on and A/C fan./threadjack

So Florida,Let me know if you are allowed to have visitors. I need to drive my car down before weather gets sheetay'. My house down there is in Citrus. I wouldn't mind stopping by and checking things out.

[zerepdivad]

wow this is definitely a thread i'm gonna be watching.

[Florida240sx]

As in bring oyur car in? I could always throw my tag on it in the parking lot and say it's my car . What you wanting to do? I have a wideband to tune cars on my own.

[spooled240]

hey florida, are you gonna try and get the max power out of all the stock components like the ecu, injector, mafs,?? Cuz i heard 7 is about the max psi and 5 is probably getting up to about all the stock injectors can handle right?Time to throw the 370's on lol

[Florida240sx]

5psi is max without any kind of tuning, just walboro fuel pump. Anyhting after that you must have fmu safc injectors or whatever.distantcrowd what you doing sunday? I live in the country club by gators dockside. I'll have my ka-t s14 back from the shop. And I can show you my set-up I have for sale. I even got the tools at my house and can swap it for ya. Won't even charge ya

[eazye2000]

Hey, where the hell are the pictures?

I wanna see an abomination of a 240 man. I want it to look even more gnarley than the one old dude put together a while back..

[Florida240sx]

I fail. My finals were yesterday and was in a rush... I brought my camera but no battery I had charging for it lol.Just picture top mount mani, small turbocharger with a couple couplers that route directly into factory intake plumbing. Where the mafs hook up they connected it right there.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

14b? 16g? 18g? 20g?!

tdo5 doesn't tell us mitsu guys anything... can i get dibs on that when you guys are done with it?

I have a Tdo6 20G strapped to my KA. Its actually stamped 23G... but I've never heard of that, and ordered a 20G.

Justin,how much are you willing to pay for some 370s?
