t25 on ka24de input

[Rekless KA]

hey, i have a 96 240 ka24de, today/tomorrow i will be installing my 255 fuel pump, 370cc injectors, t25 turbo, fmic, ect... i have a few questions, i have a safc 1, its super old school, if anybody has one can u please tell me what to set everything on it at. im totally lost and am praying to have my car done and run it at this weekends import wars im Milwaukee without it blowing up of course, so just please tell me any imput at all that u can give, or tips. thanks.

[lilskyline240]

have u installed your t25 yet?? if so, you should be fine on the stock injectors with a walbro fuel pump for awhile....i live in milwaukee and also have a t25 ka-t.....ran the stock injectors for awhile and it worked good....as long as u dont push it youll be fine....otherwise for the 370cc injectors they compensation is -27%

[Rekless KA]

thank you, i will be at import wars sunday, maybe we could meet up, or line up, i know i wont do too good, what about a safc 1, i dont know what to set mine too, unless u think that if i dont put in the injectors and put in the fuel pump and dont tune anything i will be fine, but i really dont want to blow or serisouly damage anything on my car, get back to me, thanks man!

with the t25 on 7psi you should be under 200whp so you should be fine....

[SHIFTrl240]

i tried running my t25 with stock inj, no management

my afrs were way too lean, and pre-ignition ensued.

eventually it meant the death of the motor

If you don't have a wideband, then don't attempt to boost. Which you won't be able to not boost, trust me,lol. Got to get a wideand on your car to be safe.

[lilskyline240]

IAP runs no management on their stage 1 kit other than a walbro fuel pump....i dont see why you shouldnt be fine for a little while

[GEO]

But its not reccomended! If you are spening all this money, spend alittle bit more and get the proper fuel management. $300+ is better then a bombshell!

They give you a choice between the Walbro of an FMU. If I had to choose to run one or the other, the FMU would be first. Both would be safest. Consider the Walbro is not going to increase fuel pressure at teh injectors unless it exceeds the fuel pressure regulator's ability to flow fuel. The factory FPR is designed to keep pressure constant relative to manifold pressure. So, you would ultimately end up with the same fuel flow as you would with the factory pump. The only way to increase max fuel flow is to increase injector size, or increase fuel pressure. An FMU is designed to do this. The fuel pump is not. Considering the factory injectors will probably have you running lean at 4 psi, I would not recommend trying to boost with nothing more than a higher flow fuel pump.

STOP about the IAP kit. I have the kit and I tested it. Could of been a fluke on my cr. but that still means that it needs to be checked. Because just one car fialed the test that might be the only one or there will be more.They sent me the wrong tial spring and I was at only 5psi. I was fine at cruising but rich. Under boost I was @ 12.5+ I could never hti redlien because the numbers kept getting leaner. Ran like a bat out of hell though I'm sure there is someone in your town that has a Wideband. You only need it for night matter of having a power wire and ground wire that's it. Got mine from injected performance innov Lc-1, and my 2nd one from sparkplugs.com NGK

[lilskyline240]

the only reason i said run stock injectors is cuz he just needed the car to get him somewhere...im guessin its his DD....if he didnt boost it, he would be fine...prolly could rev it to like 4k wihtout doin damage...the best bet is to get fuel management, but if he really needed to drive it, and didnt boost, he would be fine

[s13rb25det]

how could you not boost with a t25 turbo? they start making boost at like 1200rpms!!!

[Tulsa_S-13]

The t25 would start making boost as low as 2200rpm I believe and, if your like me, when you drive around town you shift at about 3k.

Never skip out on fuel management.

[Rekless KA]

thank you very much, any more imput is good, just let me know what everybody recomends i get to keep my car boosted. thanks

[lilskyline240]

i know, dont skimp out on fuel management...i didnt...but if you absolutely have to go somewhere in the car...and you shift before boostin...and accelerate like a grandma....you can drive it

[Tulsa_S-13]

One of my points was that the T25 produces boost at such a low rpm level that even shifting low you will more than likely produce boost.

One of your options could be not to turbo it until you have everything needed. There's a right way and a wrong way, its not my car so do whatever you want with it.

[lilskyline240]

i can drive my car which has a t25 without goin past 3psi of boost...jsut dont get on the throttle very hard

[boost_creep]

can someone please fill me in on how to run the water lines for the t25.wheres the feed come from,and where do you return it?thnaks alot.

[SHIFTrl240]

i never did hook up my water lines to the t25, been runnin it like that for a couple months now with no problem

[boost_creep]

really?any one else?

[Kaion]

You should be fine without them. I've been running without them for over a year... Just make sure you give your car and turbo a minute to cool off before you turn it off to keep the oil from coking up.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

I got mine from right underneath the throttle body.

not a T25 but you get the idea.

use the throttle body coolant lines. you've got to run a long hose tho or don't run it, but cool your engine for 1-3 mins before turning off or install turbo timer. other option is your heater line.

[boost_creep]

cool.thanks for the replies guys.i know to leave it running,cause i have a sr now,but when i upgrade the turbo,i wanna put the t25 on my altima.haha.

[Mustangs_Suck]

I have a T25'd KA-T in Milwaukee as well and I boost at 7psi. it dynoed with 200rwhp and 205rwtq.

It has very nice response time, and you can always shift into boost which makes it fun, but it dies out at 5000 rpm's or so and has no top end.

Nice cheap boosting though until you can beef up your motor and go all out if you care to, just make sure you get a good condition T25, and not from generic ebay brand names.

another fellow WI 240 ka-t guy....im from Milwaukee...im gunna be at culveres on hwy 100 this friday if u wanna stop out there

[Florida240sx]

If you run your water lines the turbo will last longer, but if you allow it to cool down it will still last a long time....

[Mustangs_Suck]

If I go out there I'll look for ya.

[kphout]

Just had a question im gunna be boosting my ka24de next week and just wondering if my only fuel mod was 370cc was good enough.

t3 turbo, costum manny, 2 eclipse side mount.
