VERRRRYYY FUNNY READ !!!!!

[Dtoys S14]

sup guys , check out April 06 Super street magazine , it has a very amusing article about KaT on page 160 ! "The ka is such a great engine. The Ka24 is the way to go ! YEAH RIGHT !!!!!!!! The sr guys would get a kick out of this article , well here it goes .I am going to write this exactly as super street has it !

Reader-

Whats up , super street dudes? I am about to buy a "93 Nissan 240sx and turn it into a drift machine . I've been searching around for motors and have found a couple places that have the SR20DET motor for pretty cheap . But i want to know which one to get? Should I spend the money and spring for the s15 one like Rikdaddy or go for red top and build it up ? I have the money to spend .Let me know . Thanks

Super Street-

Congrats on getting ready to buy a new car . But are you seriously thinking about swapping in an sr20det motor ? Why ? the ka is such a great engine , Not only do gain 0.4 L of displacement , you get weak pistons and rods to go with it . High revving is overrated. Lond stoke with 6,500 rpm redline is the way to live life . Not to mention how loud and clunky sounding the ka is . You'll always think your motor is blown when you start it up in the morning . Then you can slap together a turbo kit , boost 4psi , and hope the engine doesn't blow . You must be out of your mind . the ka 24 is the way to go . If you must swap , throw in a single cam ka24e from the '98-90 models . that'd be SWEET . LET US KNOW HOW IT GOES ~!

Not sure exactly what it is you're tryin to say here? I hope you dont agree with the editoral response there because, well, those are some of the worst/most bogus anti-KA comments I have ever read in my entire life.

[whiterps13]

if you read super street for technical information your an idiot.

[StricNyne]

i own a rb25, and if i didnt have it i would mos t def go with a KAT, building the block and head is almost just as much as the stroker kit for the sr20 minus the iron block

[S14tat]

hahah just like how a few years back when they did a 240sx show down and white rabbit's KA-T out dynoed rick daddy's S15 swapped 240sx. it was gold. yeah 4 psi, what a bunch of tards, i know way more stuff then those idiots do.

Super Street

Well at least this could mean more available spare KA's out there for us since they're worthless

[SuLoS]

why did they waste the space? couldn't they have put a riced out honda pic in that space

maybe someone should point out many of the KA-Ts that own. I am thinking of going that route when i get enough cash. http://www.ka-t.org700whp, ya sure ka's suck right? they are boneheads.

[s13rb25det]

super street isa bunch of tards!! the first 240 I ever had had a black top sr20det in it and I did not like it at all!! it cant boost very high because of the aluminum block and you have to rev it like a honda to get power! and another thing that poeple never think about with any jdm swap is these motors sit in junkyards for months some times years!! and if any of you guys have been to japan you know that is a bad thing! the humidity and salty air, mess these motors up and then there is the legal part of it how do you get it smogged, etc,etc, it just doesnt make sense when the 240sx comes with such a great engine! oooh yeah the only tuner mags that are worth reading are sport compact car and turbo mag, all the rest are just sad!!

The old SS used to be informational, they used to answer peoples questions with thought and good responses. Nowadays they just bash people like that article.

[amolao]

I stop buying the magazine years ago, there photos and feature cars are great, but the crappy and inmature articles are really a waste of reading time.....Performance Modified magazine is the way to go....

[SeVa-S13]

It was an appropriate response to the question.

Also, people smart enough to use a computer still read Super Street?

[ddgsxr504]

The only thing Super Street is good for is the pictures and wiping your @ss!!

[dickie]

^ i tried but the pages were too glossy and i made a mess.

[240Knightrider]

im kinda disappointed...I was expecting a funny

[struckinc]

i look at the pictures in super street...the articles suck..they did a writeup on how to turbo your own ka and their solution was a junkyard diesel turbo.. but they have pretty decent pics...

[nismofly]

if you read super street youre an idiot.

quoted and edited for truth

[Alfador]

if you read super street for technical information your an idiot.

if you read super street for technical information... well... you dont, because it would be a miracle if you could read...

[nismo dreaming]

I am an avid reader of super street and i have to say, they dont know a durn thing about the KA. I almost puked when i read that comment and im not to happy with the lack of knowledge that they believe that they must give to the rest of the world. I mean come on, the put the b18 and b16 as one of the best 10 engines.......

wasn't it scc that did the junkyard turbo in the ka?

[l3ooherS14]

Ha! My car sounded like it was going to blow up this morning!

[s13rb25det]

yeah it was sccthat did the article with the turbo diesel and that ka made a lot of power!!

[Alfador]

Magazine staffs are made up of several writers and editors. Some mags just choose to hire idiots to fill a percentage of that staff.

[xekushnr]

SS is fun to read when you need a laugh. there is no way you can take that mag seriously while you are reading it.

[corey240]

hey it came with a free dvd how can you pass that up? haha just another way of trying to make more sales they cant get lol

[steve s14]

wow, now i know not to read that magazine except for entertainment value, and a good laugh.that's got to be the automotive magazine equivalent of the National Enquirer.

[Iamjohnhayes]

i think one of the only mags worth looking at is Grassroots Motorsports. Its nice to read a mag with out tons of rice in it.

[Red coupe]

That was the stupidest damn thing Ive read in a while..The reader didn't even mansion KA's either.

I would build a KAT just so that I could separate these idiots out from true enthusiasts quickly...

[sunnys14]

i think zilvia and super street should combine forces to make the best company ever...

[emperor_lunchbox]

what month was that article in? I would be interested in reading it.

[PantherRacer]

that's the automotive magazine equivalent of the National Enquirer.

QUOTED (& certain words removed) FOR TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
