Nice setup, I'm not the biggest fan of supercharging but I love different setups.

Its funny I was looking at your dyno, because the peak numbers are the EXACT same as my stock rb20. Your KA-R has just more even torque below 2600ish.

My goal is a simple 200-220rwhp RELIABLY. With the underdrive pulley I should be starting at around 6psi and don't have any intentions of going higher. After being content with an NA for 9 years I don't think it will take much to satisfy my hunger. <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://images.nicoclub.com/forums/image ... iggrin.gif" BORDER="0">

doesn't the newer M90 use the same footprint and operate more efficiently and provide more boost? Might make a nice future upgrade

From what I know the m90 is bigger, and it won't fit, at least not where mine is mounted. As far as a newer m90 model I am not sure on that one.

Got my M62 in the mail 2 days ago. I'm mounting it over the header so I can utilize the FMIC and run more boost safely. Gonna be pretty sweet

I could be wrong but I swore I read somewhere that the Frontier VG33 guys were swaping the 60's with the 90's without much rework. I could be mixing it up

Sorry homie. Dylan is 2.5 years old now and eats up WAY more time then he used to. So I don't get to sit on AIM for extended periods like I used to.

My build will be a slow one, I'm finishing up the wire harness I've been putting off all winter this week. Then I'll get her running NA while I figure out all the mounting. I just need the warm weather to get here and friggin stay. You guys have been getting blasted down south aye?

I guess this will be the last installment on the build. Pics of it once I cleaned it up and had the intake how I wanted it. It was a blast to drive and never gave me any problems for a year. The kit is now off of the car and is up for sale.
