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

damn that engine bay is CLEAN
good job on the cleaning

 

good stuff man... keep this updated. i have never reallly personally knw anyone with a sohc KA-T.

cant wait to see numbers.

 

numbers won't be anywhere north of 200hp at first.
a friend of mine is lookin to make around 400 though

I'm just tryin to get to the point of BEING turbo, then i'll be building on that

 

nice..i suggest you start ripping of the aiv and heat shield out..i plan to go ka-t, your thread will be my guide..

 

no doubt bro.. i didn't shoot for high numbers because I needed to be able to drive daily. my 208hp was good enough.

 

I'll be daily driving for a while....a good LONG while lol hopefully.
put in applications a few more places...hopefully i'll get hired somewhere...soon. should be done by the end of the school year if that happens

 

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.

 

I've done my research, the turbo is plenty for the power i'm aiming for, i've seen the injectors used on KAs..they do fit, i can and do weld...daily, and i bought the wastegate for 1/4 of the price it's worth. I can use it....i may or i may not, and the Evo FMIC was free....thus the reason i'll make it work

 

you must be thinking of the de and sr injectors, these actually do look like the right ones for the kae.

 

bah i though KA24E had the same injectors as every other nissian guess im wrong then lol

 

yeap those are top feeds.

 

nice man, ive seen a sohc ka-t b4 @ a drift event. that thing ripped, the guy said he went with the E because the head flowed better than a de. good luck, keep us posted
