and injectors and a stand alone....

and your gonna need a clutch to hold that power

You don't need a stand alone for 400hp. A tuned ecu would be a much better choice (calum/nistune etc.)

well ya of course injectors, and a fuel pump too but im surprised that this will get me to 400 whp. See im in the process of planning out a build with a goal of 400whp and like everyone else i want the best bang for my buck. So i'm trying to rule out all the unecessary or less effective mods and just spend my money on the most effective and of course safe hp increasers. I heard that the KA's cylinder head is very restrictive on the exhaust port side, would it be worth porting and polishing the head? and would i be able to hit 400whp without changing cams?

port and polish will help... but that benefits NA guys more than Turbo Ka guys.

may I ask why your goal is 400 hp.... My 214 hp was fun enough. the higher you go, the more volatile the KA will become and lets face it..... even at that range.. its not really affordable. You have to build the engines right and add all the supporting mods. You really cant skimp out on anything.

after 3 ka-t motors.... the failing part each time was ringlands...... you need pistons brother. and you will be squared away with a decent tune.


ps

if you dont plan on racing..... and want a dyno queen.... you can pull things out... but you risk blowing up on the dyno also.

didnt i say i was including pistons? i thought i did... well anyways if i didnt, i am. Pistons, rods, injectors, turbo kit, all that stuff, new belts, head studs, metal gaskets, standalone, and a shop tune, i think i should be ok.... i shouldn't be blowing anything... and 400whp.. just because 300 isn't enough and i have high gforce fantasies lol

............ you mentioned the pistons in another thread.......

which I read after this one.


Im glad you are going KA-t... its a good journey and really rewarding

diego1103

oh ok my bad, well anyways ya i'll keep you guys updated, i'm really looking forward to this build, but i am somewhat of a perfectionist and i hate doing things half assed, which is why im researching my *** off right now.

not a bad trait to have at all... more planning is good...


basically my turbo setup was built like 4 months before i did it. I completed the swap in one day...

diego1103

ya my plan is to do something similar but with the whole car. I'm currently going to school in boston but im from miami and thats where all my tools and resources are, plus I don't have time to do this car during school. So I'm going to basically have everything decided on , buy all the parts and have them shipped to my miami address before hand with the help of friends, and then during winter i have a 3 week break where im going to put it all together.

hahha same as me..


After college joined the Air Force.. While in tech school in Missouri, I had everything ordered and sent to MD... When I got home on my 2 week break, I put it together lol.
