[the_professor]

Are you crazy Im about to roll out with a fully build SOHC in the spring WOOT WOOT. Right now Im almost completed boosting my stock block gonna run her at 8psi get used to it. And then in the Spring on a full built Im going to try somewhere around 20psi. WOOT WOOT

theres acutally quite a few sohc turbo'd ka's on this site you just gotta look for them.

im actually doing a ka24e-t build as well so heres a couple of links to help you on your way

Hay wild max, if you send me detailed info on your A/F ratios and that chip, I can try to lean that tune out for you a little.

[wild_maxx]

Hey man, I forgot to send out that damn MO to you... but I still have your address. I'll send ya the MO and the chip with more info and maybe you can rewrite it for me.

I am doing my research for the parts to turbo my sohc because your outcome on the car is pretty impressive... but did you guys actully pay 449.00 for you pistons and 675.00 for your rods..thats not even all of the parts does setup come out to be around 1500-2000 dollars assuming or am i going crazy(prices from amsperformancer)

[wild_maxx]

just buy the ams rebuild kit with their rods and pistons. Great deal and you get everything you need.

[BMAR240SX]

I was thinking of just putting in the turbo and getting the basic setup that has 180whp.... i have a turbo and manifold already..i wanted to know what are the chances of me messing up the engine with that type of power w/o changing the internals

[wild_maxx]

If the engine is on good condition then you can make some pretty good power on stock internals.

EVERYONE will tell you that tuning it VERY important for the safety of your motor. Concentrate alot more on the tuning part of the setup and you will be happy with the results.

FYI: there is a ka-t member making 357HP on stock internals with a damn good tuning setup. http://www.ka-t.org/cory.php

[BMAR240SX]

that video he has is pretty inpressive i want to rurn 180whp as a dialy driver...my internals are going to be soon in great shape my father got me a stock rebuild kit for my b day... what type of tuning are you talking about?

[lucky03602]

also as far as using stock internals with a turbo set up, what wasnt said and is actually common sense is your engine would be fine as long as you dont put alot of boost to it, you say u want 180hp so im assuming your gonna run 5-7psi of boost which is fine on stock internals.

what kind of a setup/parts you think your gonna be using for your car btw??

[BMAR240SX]

I dont know honestly i kind of stop dreamin and cam into realty im am but my plan was to get everything on the ka-t site anything esle i should getTurbo Manifold Blow Off Valve Turbo (T25) Downpipe 2.5" is perfectly fine Pipe to connect turbo to throttle body FMU DSM 450cc Injectors or Comparable Apexi SAFC2 Greddy Emanage

And one question http://www.ka-t.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5597 if u go down to that web site theres a pic of the turbo setup in the intake manifold where does the pipe go down to..is it being used as a custom cold air
