All over the world, Nissan products are involved in road racing, track days, time attack and autocross.

do you guys think that a T3/T4 turbo on my KA24de(t) will have to much lag for Auto X? i am getting the turbo this weekend, and i wanna know if i should still get it, or get a smaller turbo. like T28, or T25. what do you guys think?

imo your best bet for an auto-x ka-t is a t3 super 60

and mine

the super 60 will do nearly 300 rwhp with near instant response, which is plenty for auto-x

300hp is probably "enough" for autocross, but it isn't really that interesting.

My STS car is now a street mod car, and the KA is sporting a T3-based twin-scroll manifold with .78a/r GT3071R. It makes full boost by 3500rpm and well over 400hp on the top end. Works great.

Here's a video from yesterday's practice event. Apologies for Youtube screwing up the video quality:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7C6VhLZ1pA

As you can see, the boost response from the T3-based twin-scroll GT3071R is quite good in combination with the KA.
