Superchargin the 40

[ShifDown96240SE]

I am soon to come up on some money. And I need to redo my engine. I need something new, but not too crazy. really streetable, with good power. I dont like drag racing ( i almost hate it). But i was thinking of soing a rebuild on my KA, but with forhed rods and pistons, performance rings and seals, nice set of ( i think nismo makes some for thwe ka) cams. a nice port and polish with like a nice 3 angle valve job, or 5, im not sure on the detailed differences. and then putting a nice blower setup on it. Then id probably take it down to Jim Wolf for tuning. I dont know how much power i will get ( im hoping for around 275-320), but i like the idea of the blower, i mean everyone has a turbo in one from or another(KA, CA, SR). i want to have a different exhaust note, etc. I have alot of hookups on part prices and engine work, and even the piping and customizing of the blower setup. does anyone know who i could talk to about this, or someone that has done this kinda thing, or any kits out there?? any info on this subject would be appreciated. i have a zenki s14 with 124,000 mi on it. im goin to UTI soon, and i want a reliable setup to have at school. thanks

You might want to use the search button, this has been discussed before.

[ShifDown96240SE]

i already did, and it came down to an insufficient amount of info, plus i want any new info i can get, i read everything possible in the search of the supercharger

[ShifDown96240SE]

im tired of everyone here not wanting to help you out anymore, ive been coming here for almost 3 years, and i know it used to be alot less people, that were also alot more helpful, times change i guess

chill out man.I know for sure there is a very long thread about supercharging a 240.I dont know if you tried searching in the technical section but I do know for sure there is a very long thread somewhere.

[912.0turbo]

try here

[midwestdrifter]

yeah there was someone here working on making a kit but i dont know. i have heard that it is very difficult, but then again i have heard that about the rb swap. check out the technical section, thats my only advice.

Difficult to market and hard to support product, not to mention expensive.

Do it if you have the $, otherwise follow the Turbo-ed herd.

i like the idea of constant power, no lag. and i was also wondering about the options i have for puting a 6 speed transmission in, like maybe from an S15???

Why would a 6 speed transmission be beneficial?

[ShifDown96240SE]

the gears are shorter, that way i also have a little higher top speed, and it would be all around better for drifting. Like if i downshift from 3rd down to 2 with the six speed, my wheels are really gonna spin

6 speeds are to weak

[chandler]

for one, what the heck is a FORHED rod........ ne ways, area 51 farbications was making a kit for the 240 id contact them , and there was a guy on here that did it, but I think he had to get rid of his AC, and the six speed doesnt have a higher todspeed, just another overdrive gear for fuel milage, fourth gear on most or all trannys is 1:1, direct drive, anything over that is a reduction and overdriven. and for performance, stick with the 5 speen imo

[ShifDown96240SE]

well it was an idea, but i guess ill look into it more seriously in a few months. but yeah sorry i hit the f***ing button right next to the one i was supposed to hit. maybe i dont spend all typing and editing everyone elses statements.....geez man

[ShifDown96240SE]

and just to throw it in there, what if i also changed my final drive ratio. like swithch to the z32 or the j30 LSD. maybe get a kaaz, that would change a bit about the six gears, just a thought, im probably completely wrong about this. but doesnt a supercharged KA power plant with a six speed transmission and the different diff, sound kinda unique, maybe even with a custom body kit. but i see all your points, thanks for eveyonnes info....

Its nice to dream

convention vs. uniquenessproven vs. theory

All I have to say is, mod with a grain of salt, keep in mind there will always be haters. No matter how much $ you waste getting to your final destination, it'll be worth it. (maybe)

Just Internet Rumor.

It would be a utter waste of money to put a SR 6 speed on a KA. At least $1000-1500 to get the transmission to your house = too much money just to have an extra unnessecary shift.

[ShifDown96240SE]

true true, i just talked to one of my friends and we both came to the fact that its a waste of time and money, but are there better 5 speeds around than the one i have with 124000 mi on it?? it costs sooo much to rebuild one like 1500 bux or more

[Onizuka]

beat it till it breaks, even with 300hp it will still probably last at least another 50,000 miles. Nissan wasnt joking around when they designed this transmission

[chandler]

I was just givin ya crap man, i knew the button was close....., I would rather have the OS giken gearset for the KA , and yes they did make 1 , prototype or production im not sure, but i got the pics to prove one was made, it was with their prototype turbo setup with a turbo bigger than my head..... aahhhhh dreams

[ShifDown96240SE]

OS giken gearset?? whats that... i wanna see theese pix man, and i would wait until mine breaks down b4 gettin a new one, i just want a clean unique setup, im not too cool with the whole turbo idea, i know ill probably get one someday tho...hahaha

[chandler]

OS giken, a manufacturer in japan that makes very good gears and gear sets, at some show they made a close ratio gear set for the KA and a turbo kit for it also, got one mounted and one all pieced out on a table , its pretty sweet, give me your email and ill send it too ya

He won't do it, shut this thing down. I'll bet 10K he'll absolutely never do this successfully, probably not halfway. The kind of people that do these things actually do them and don't go on a forum to ask people how to. Pure and simple.

[chandler]

just let him be man, thas just harsh

[trpower7]

We've had this discussion twice before. Just search for it. I'll be harsh if I want to be.

I agree, this kid's history of posts indicates he's a few bricks shy of a wall.

[xxtrizz]

actually I dont knwo if anyone 3ever mentioned this but if you custom fabricate the A/C mount to fit the supercharger on the late model MR2 then it works. Ive seen it on a sr20de b4. Looked pretty sweet.
