Nice... and not 1 problem ?

 

no matter how much you spend when modding a car you will come across issues..

however i have never had one down day since boosted.. issues yea but nothing major.

 

nice.. I Might get Ka-t Tuned to 8 psi... its gonna be my daily for a while Im just hoping it handles it.

 

it will be if you take your time and do it right and not rev it to 7k rpm's everyday

 

i used to rev my SR to 7k everyday >.> but ya KA-T is good cause you get more power then a stock SR and its cheaper to do. but then again after 240-250whp i think the SR is cheaper to make reliable power untill 350-400whp then its all expensive

 

How'd Your Ka-T hold up ? and what was ya setup ?

 

never had a KA-T im just basing my view of KA-T from other people that have them. i got a SR im building atm but i got my NA ka for now lol

but from what i read with a T28 or similar turbo 12psi on a stock KA with the right tune is the most you can go safely and thats most likely around 250whp

now if your goal is a safe 300-350hp the SR is cheaper cause you dont have to replace the internals like a KA would have to at that hp

 

oh I see... well ceck this out.. The 240 im buying is ka-t tuned to 8 psi for daily driving.. but its a big turbo.. not positive about the size yet.. but it has 230 rwhp... What you think ?

 

I have the TD06 20G Turbo kit, It's fine for daily driving, then again I'm only pushing 6psi and i have some internals done

 

20g aint a small turbo either...lol ...minor internals ? what ya got ?

 

i drive my ka-t every day to class and to run errands. it makes 200mile drives just fine too. only problem is that my turbo seals are shot and it burns alot of oil, that will be fixed with a new setup soon.

 

from my personal experience and what i have gathered over the years. the weak point of the KA are the ringlands. other than that everything else is stout if you treat it with respect.. now any motor beat on will have issue with a owner that neglects it.. lol i personally check my engine before and after every trip, im **** about it.

 

LoL, agreed

 

stage 2 brian crower cams; weisco 9:1 pistons; Eagle forged rods

I also have 200,000+ miles on the motor, and chassis

 

nice... So pistons rods and cams and easy on the foot and i should be good... Right ?
