On a 92 coupe I got Injen intake, Hotshot headers, Apex n1 catback w/silencer, ngk wires, Unorthodox racing underdrive pulley, SAFC II, with advanced timing(not quite sure how much) a 300zx fuel filter and still keeping a stock cat. Not much for addons really, but the results were pretty decent. Surprisingly we were able to squeeze about 3hp to the wheels with just the SAFC, I know its kinda pointless, but I just wanted one
Running at approx 90 degrees weather with no fans on the motor the max power I got was 146 hp to the wheels and 142 torque. I normally goto dynos and just get disappointed everytime but honestly with all the bad talk on KA's I hear I was expecting 120-125 hp at the wheels so I can't complain. Ill get the charts scanned so I can post for anyone that cares. Also this was on a ka24de with approx 155k miles.
You were expecting 120-125whp on a modded KA? I put down 129whp and 131wtq on a stock 175k KA24DE (missing a muffler) running rich (dipped around 11.5). It's got 199k on it now, damn my job puts a lot of miles on it. I need a rebuild
EDIT: I shift at 6k because I get even richer after 6k and lose massive powa
