SOHC KA-T Build LOLWUT?!?!
I'm new to the forum, but i figured i'd start a build thread just to let you guys know what i have in mind at the moment for the single slammer. Also, i'm sure i'll have millions of questions to ask, being 17. As of now, it's a pretty basic single cam KA, with a pep boys cone filter. When i got the car the body was in great condition, all original paint, and some ballin' american racing wheels. lol. Here's the current progression of the car since i got it, the parts i've got for the build, a checklist of the build for the most part, and a list of the few mods the car does have as it sits.
Engine:
"Custom Intake"
Agency Power Catback exhaust
Suspension:
GR-2 Shocks, and struts
Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs
Megan Racing Strut Tower Bar
Exterior:
H4 Headlight housings
8000K HIDs
Piggy Front lip
17" BSA 349's
Roof Spoiler
We'll start from the beginning. Skyjacked, on Baller AR wheels. Bone stock, but well kept
Engine bay shortly after the car was bought
and the engine bay as of now

damn i see alot of problems.
first off those injectors wont fit in your stock fuel rail.
second that turbo is a stock sr turbo wich uses an actuator waste gate not the type you have. although you can you the turbonectics one you have but you will need to weld the plate **** in the exhaust side of the turbo. but its stupid to do when u can just get an actuator.
third apart from that turbo almost positively needing a rebuild it is too small for a KA. your gona choke it out.
you need alot more research b4 you spent your money on stuff you cant use.
also on the evo intercooler it has weird outlets so you will need custom piping or cutting the entanks and rewelding new ones. and if you cant weld then this will cost you more then your entire turbo set up lol.
imo go on ebay and buy a $200 fmic kit

for low level setup you can use the turbo.... if you try to boost high you will choke.
with the turbo also.... you can block the internal gate and run external with no issue.
