lrb...why dont you enlighten us as to your awnser.

Just a week ago you said you are new to turbo's( you dont even know how the oil feed & drain likes work) yet you say

"ummm, clearly a turbo if you want to make any power".
Can you explain WHY a turbo makes the power?

I'm not trying to blast on you. I just think people should learn before giving advise. Because what if he asks you "what type of turbo. What electronics will I need, ect"? What will your awnser be?

alrighty! well, my plans so far....i want some decent power for fun. just to have a kick in driving. at least 235hp...around there. maybe a little less...but you get the picture. i also plan to get some new suspension ofcourse. i have this turbo right now down in my storage closet. just the turbo charger from my brothers 180. it has 25psi. it was from the semi trucks here. his 180 gave out quite a lot of power. but back to it. i want decent power, and i also want the engine to run good and reliable. that's down to the point. thanks for the help in advance guys! i really appreciate it

search the forums for "ka vs. sr" and you'll find a lot of pros and cons as well as user experiences and opinions on both motors
