Post by **spooled240** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 2:55 pm

must be that short torqueless stroke and tiny balls, erhem I mean *displacement* haha

Post by **neverlift** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 3:35 pm

turn for the lol I have not owned an sr but thinking about it logically the ka is a bigger engine so its bound to create a bit more power at the same boost.... I know my t25 pulls friggin hard, and has a BIG powerband, no fall off issues up to 7000rpm limit I set... IIRC a bolt on ka will hang with a STOCK sr,with less then 200whp. trq owns

Post by **480sx** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 4:29 pm

Iv got a stock redtop in a gutted out s13 with the t25 maxed out and i swear my ka at half a bar of boost feels faster. The ess arr just falls on its face untill like 3.5-4k rpms, then it starts to pull well but till then your just sitting there waitin. The ka just has that snappy torque curve. Both are fun engines to have in a light car though for sure.

bolt on SRs arent the fastest thing in the world david... i had more mods than you on my SR plus more boost and it didnt feel very fast to me... (s14 T28, z32 maf, s15 480cc, SAFC2, Greddy intake manifold, HKS turbo manifold, FMIC, MR pullies, MR turbo elbow, full exhaust @ 17psi).

i dont need my sr to be the fastest in the world TRUNG....i just need it to be a lil faster then urs. haha

sounds like a good old rively.

i have one of those going on with a honda buddie. Cant wait to see what happens. KA-T vs B18-T

Post by **sunnys14** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 8:15 am

ok guys, enough of all this KA-T vs SR rivalry.

we all know who will win now don't we?

Post by **spooled240** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 11:39 am

that's funny you mention that, my buddy in his 06 sti thinks he can beat me. Should be a good match tho: stock 06 sti vs. ka24det @ 9psi, we both should be around 240rwhp but idk why I think I can beat him

Post by **Florida240sx** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 11:51 am

Because he can't drive

Post by **spooled240** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 12:27 pm

he fried his clutch in the first yr practicing launches, that was pretty crazy so if he doesn't get me off the line, he ain't catchin me at all hehe..

how can you tell a car is KA-T by just looking at it?

easy: if the car is not rev'ing its balls off to get from point A to point B

That would be sound, not a visual....Anywho who is going to do a next ka-t related write-up?

so i take it that is your car, my friend sam said he thinks its kat. but he was right

Post by **sunnys14** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 1:15 pm

was it a wild guess or what?

Post by **driftmyke** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 4:05 pm

no he said he knows somebody who knows your car.

Post by **spooled240** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 10:06 pm

what's the ka-t write up going to be on? anything specific??Or is it just a profile of someone's car?

Idk if it's just me but it seems like ka's have a different sound than the sr's. it seems like ka's have more of a rumble(truck motor?) when they are revving and sr's have sort of that "v-tec" sound. SR's have itb's right? cuz this may be why..but then again I may be wrong-4 banger's a 4 banger

My KA sounds kinda like a SR (MR manifold, straight 3" all the way back to my RSR straight through muffler), i think its mainly due to the manifold im using. What exhaust manifold style you use GREATLY effects your exhaust sound. My friend switched from a MR exhaust manifold to a Tomei tubular log style manifold and his exhaust sound changed GREATLY, sounds more like wrx....

SRs dont have ITBs (not the RWD ones anyways), only the FWD AWD pulsar gti-r came with ITBs.

my kat sounded like a f350 diesel. all my sr buddys said it was unique.

Car is beautiful brother. We are almost twenkies

You had open wastegate thats why.

Post by **spooled240** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 11:52 am

i just have those ss flex pipes for my wg dump pipe that's clamped down but it's not exactly sound proof, so my car sounds like a race car. But of course it's pretty quiet with the wg closed, i love it lol

some guys w/ those 4-2-1 split headers sort of sound like a boxer engine..sr's don't have itbs but maybe i'm thinking rb? I know itbs or a good manifold will change the sound of your engine as well. I'm not talking about exhaust just that growling sound you hear from 350z's and v-tec's

so i ran some SR20's tonight
