hey tx-sx..... how much boost are you running? what did you do about timing just retard it?

im interested cause im going to use a t3 or t25 and im just readin up on similar setups

The engine is complete and sitting on it's stand, the 93 S13 hatch is waiting right next to it w/ an empty engine bay. All I need is time to get it together and money for that standalone!

Completely stock and untouched engine. I have MSD 50# injectors, JGY fuel rail, and awaiting a JWT ecu to up the boost to a solid 1 bar. And yes I know that is a lot on a stock bottom end, I don't care.

[Tx-Sx-FS]

im gonna be running about 7-9psi soon...thats my setup but isnt completely assembled on car...still have a few parts to order and piping to be made...but the timing will most likely be retarded a few degrees...im not sure if im gonna buy something that does timing YET unless my SAFC II does that...anyone have input on the SAFC??

[midnightclubbaa]

alright now how much has your setup cost you so far and what are your best times to date?

[koukiKA240]

My setup has cost me more than i care to say and i dont have times yet.~Sam

[HolyShiznit]

My times are listed above but my total cost was $3,200 in parts/labor. Well worth it.

just missing the downpipe, the jwt ecu, and the oil lines.and of course a whole bunch of money for installation.

[candela]

Im just curious, but I noticed a lot of you guys are runnign a 50 trim w/.63 AR hot (i assume standard stage 3 wheel to).

I know this turbo is teh damn shizzle to cause i had one on my DSM. I kow its more efficient than 57 and 60 trims...

Im just curious how it does on a stock compression KA24DE.

What kind of boost threshold is there, full boost (what psi) RPM and boost response between shifts.

Hopefully some will have experience with other settups so you can compare. Thanks,

[midnightclubbaa]

another question is where did most of you get your turbo stuff from

[fiznat]

If you look on the top of the KA-T section there is a thread with compressor maps of various turbos (including the T3/T04E .50 trim) with various boost pressures already plotted out. I know this for sure because when I calculated this turbo's efficiency for myself I posted it up here along with an excel spreadsheet so you can plug in whatever you like.

As far as where to buy parts, there really isnt anything that's all that hard to find. Check out the sponsors here at nico, especially ka24de.com and heavy throttle. Besides that, places like summit and jegs are good for various fittings, pipes, etc etc etc. I got my turbo wastegate and IC as a package from cheapturbo.com.... You kinda gotta shop around but there are parts everywhere. Dont forget the buy sell trade section here as well! (Thats where I got all the items marked with a "U" for used).

Ok enough typing... good luck!

[candela]

Yes but i did not ask about the compressors efficiency; i know how badass the 50trim is already...

I want to know REAL world results with the KA (which, no offense, you cant really answer unless you have a runnign one or have experience with another)...

Threshold, boost response, real world results of full boost/rpm and overall liking of this turbo. Thanks!

[HolyShiznit]

Well mine is a 57 trim which is less efficient or whatever. I don't really seem to notice because.....hey look, I get .6 bar of boost by 3200 RPM on a stock block/head with stock cams and a LOG manifold. Turbo runs like a champ. Around town drivability is great because pretty much in any gear I can start pulling boost with just a touch of the throttle.

[midnightclubbaa]

any updates on setups also where did most of you get the majority of your parts from

[D1 guy]

You guys have some awesome setups!!!!! Heres mine:

tx are you running E or DE. If you are sigle cam I have a question about your injectors

the safc dose not have a specific timing adjustment function. but there has been some discussion about the safc in this thread: zerothread?id=106376

some information there about it. check the apexi site for information also.

btw, just a few more dollars and this drifting auto will be boosted

updates? haha I've spent lots more money and my car still isnt completely ready to roll! Waiting for out of stock parts suuuuucks

[boringdrifter]

everyone... i give you mad props. i love everyone's setups. me, i'm still boring for right now, but mid spring my car is going into the shop to be worked on, so hopefully one of these days i can be up here with ya'll talking about my setup.
