usually i think that the ka's pistons and rings i think would go out first...the block itself is iron...really strong i dont think you would need to do anything to it until mid to high 400 hp
it seems to me like you have experience in boosted cars...the concept in boosting the ka is basically the same as those, im sure you had to build the f*** out of the dc2 to get that amount of power...
Yea Ive put too much money into hondas lol. But they were worth it i wont lie, See i new it was an iron block and its a closed deck also isnt it? Im use to open deck designs and usin block guards and all kinda s*** to not blow h/g . hondas dont like boost lol. but if u do it right they do.
Im trying to find a nice pistons set for it but everythign I find is 8.2:5 or 8.6:5 i wanna run straight 8.0:5 pistons so in future i can boost this thing to all hell. But either of those would work, Has ne one used the supertech coated pistons on a ka yet an had good reviews?
I will be doing a mild buildup on the block next month, Pistons rods and bearins, I still havnt looked into rods but either cp or super tech pistons and acl race bearing set with mains thrust ect..
I would like to see this thing in the 450whp range on e85 which i do believe is possible with the right combos of mods to it.. I want more than enough power to get her sideways lol.
The car itself looks like straight garbage lol also, I baught it because i can rebuild the engine if needed and its got a lotta money into the platform, My true plans are s13 front primered black with 5lug swap and 300zx brakes all round.. then all the rest is cage and motor.
The cars plans for me is to be a weekend drift/warrior car. Something to smash my dads grand national and my unlces turbo regal also lol
Also When I have the car running and idlein it doesnt smoke one bit, When I drive it she does a lil and under a load she does a lil but nothin crazy like my others have doen when i have had ring issues, But when I pull the car into my driveway on a nice incline she smokes a bit, More then when she is drove hard or ne thing, I dont have an oil catch can also I am having my father fab one like the greddy can as we speeek. But why would she smoke like that on incline??
