The 200hp KA is just that simple
For the SOHC as well?
I am still debating now if I should turbo my KA or just build it up NA.
I think NA would be more enjoyable, I did the custom turbo thing on my Focus, it was fun, but I want a nice NA motor.
I was going to go with the DE, but then you have to go through the pain of the engine swap with wiring and all that.
If the above work can be done to the SOHC, and ~200whp is available with all the supporting mods, I would go that route.
I would do the ITB's, the only thing I don't know is would I need standalone? I guess if I make a plenum to put on the ITB's, I could still run the MAF.
Any thoughts on my Idea?
Can 200whp be done with a built SOHC?
