Your Ka-t Setup

[Nismochick240]

Some of you guys know that I am planning on going Ka-t. I had some financail difficulties but now i'm back on track!! Okay, so I'm still deciding on what to get (sizes, brands ect...) so if you guys dont mind, post your CURRENT SETUP (not "i plan on goin ka-t soon w/...") AND if you would recommend the products you used.

thanks guys!

how are you liking your manifold? cost/who'd you buy it from? that's the same turbo i'm thinkin of running

[Import_Ant]

I'll be the first (and hopefully not the last) to reccomend the IAP kit

very solid kit I loved mine before I tore the car down for the winter.

MSD blaster 2 Ignition coil< Also loved it. VERY good bang-for-buck upgrade

Permacool fan/Oil cooler < oil cooler came as a complete kit at jegs.com, i liked the fitment of everything and had some extra Goodyear hose left over even :-D. I got a 14" fan but in hindsight if i had it to do over i'd just get a fan set from an integra or altima and make it work. lower cost and better cooling power

BRM 3" SS exhaust w/ resonator and dual tip muffler/ 3" test pipe < the pinnacle of quality and at a great price. great exhaust note too Thanks Greg!!!

everything else I bought over the summer I havent installed yet so no reviews yet

I highly recommend the products im using. everything except my injectors. as i told my friend so that you dont run into a roadblock with upping the boost, get bigger injectors. if ur only gonna use a SAFC, get 550cc injectors. 370cc are good for small power goals but once u've accomplished that goal, what next? lol. and i would also suggest an ecu upgrade so that u dont have to worry about changing ur base timing whenever u vary ur boost. as i just recently thought about, u can't really effectively use an ebc unless u have a btm or an upgraded ecu to deal with the whole timing thing.

best thing about my setup is no lag so if that is what ur looking for, then my size turbo will offer that.

Hey girl what's up.

Well this is me,

system consists of an SR T25 turbo, Stock SR turbo elbow, Megan Racing 3 inch flex/downpipe, hallow cat, (3 inch stainless steel exhaust, madrel bent, coming soon), SR 370cc injector's, stainless steel oil feed/return lines, misc fittings, Megan Racing fuel pressure regulator, 300zx fuel filter, walboro pump, SR side mount intercooler, GReddy Type S bov, Sparco 10 gauge wires, NKG G Power plugs, Megan Racing Oil pressure gauge and sending unit, air/fuel gauge and boost/vacumm gauge, SAFC 1.

Right now the system is only running on stock boost (7psi) and as soon as I get my exhaust I'm gona hit they dyno for a proper tune. Based on what I was told I should be running somewhere between 210-240rwhp. This is Phase 1 of an on going project with my sponsor.



So far I've had no issues with anything and I could'nt be happier. Well actually I will....when I pick up my T28 BB turbo soon .

Well good luck with your project and if there's anything I can help you with just let me know.

Take care.

Quote »how are you liking your manifold? cost/who'd you buy it from? that's the same turbo i'm thinkin of running[/quote]Love it. I bought it from Rick(95 240sx) and the guys at GroundZero Motorsports. Great piece. Read about it on ka-t.org for a complete description of it, numbers to call to order, and prices.

IDK how many times you have heard this, but girls that are this into cars are so ****ing cool... Donate DNA to clone research.lol

Another good way to find this out would be to look in our stickeyed info thread "look here first!" In there is a link to a thread that lists a whole lot of member's KA-T car websites, which include setup information as long as photos, dynos etc.

I can't think of anything else right now.

The turbo is small and isn't really efficient much past 10psi, but this is a tight course/autoX/daily driver, so it's incredibly fun when used for it's purpose. It spools incredibly quickly, thus making the power super predictable. I get full boost in 1st gear by 4krpm, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th make 10psi by 2500ish. I'll upgrade eventually, but I'm not in a tearin' rush to do so right now.
