hey was just looking on ebay at sr turbo kits and i know most dont like ssautochrome but was just wondering if this would work on the KA24de. like if i got the right manifold, would everything else work? like the turbo lines, can i use those? will they tap into my oil pan or whatever. i know theres still other stuff i need like injectors and a fpr and whatever else, just wanted to know if the lines would work and if i changed the mani. thanks

yes an no....the fmic will work...but everything isnt there...the turbo should work...there ok...the manifold will crack under 5000 mile mark...the wastegate diaphram will blow out at 2000 mile mark and will cause a severe spike and prolly blow up your motor cause you will get tons of boost and then cause detonation from lack of fuel...or it wont produce boost at all...seen both happen with my own eyes...it sucked. You can purchase a Tial BOV diaphram because they are a direct fit but do you want to pay 50 to 75 bux for a new diaphram? You can just get a tial 35mm for a lil over 200 and never have a problem. as for the bov...hope you have an safc and set your DEC. AIR settings to compensate for open atmosphere instead of re-routing back into the intake pipe....there will be alot of work put into this kit to make it reliable. Oh and the manifold flange there is for an sr20 motor...not the ka. Wheres the charge piping. I hope those 2 SS pipes arent them. They say there starter downpipes but really now...thats thin...do you expect those pipes to really hold as a downpipe. Really i wouldnt waste your time with this kit. It will cause you more problems in the long run than you really want.

That kit is far from complete for use on the KA. You're missing ENGINE MANAGEMENT, FUEL MANAGEMENT, the turbo elbow, intercooler pipings, turbo pipings, and did I forget to say engine management?
