Wow, and you're adding a tremendous amount of knowledge to the conversation....

 

Hey, WTF?!?! You took my avatar. My friend made that for me using the pics I took of my car. WTF? You don't just take other people's avatars without asking. That's my car in the picture just for your information! You could at least ask, jeez! BTW, sorry for the lack of input on NA KA's, just got pissed off when I saw my avatar being used by someone else.

 

I said that Jerome would smoke you because he can debate on almost anything....plus he has the knowledge to back it up with. There realy was no reason to twist it up.

HAPPY?


why are you acting like an *** i just figured i would try to get the thead back on the original topic..

 

LOL@Drifting.com

anyways, my old roommates car. 96' w/ KA24DE

JWT cams & sprocket
JWT ECU
Apex N1 Dual 2.5" cat back
Trust Headers
JWT Pop charger w/ home depot CAE

the end result??

a whopping 170ish rwhp. amazing ain't it?

 

Wow. You guys are posting results EXACTLY like I said he'd find. No more than about ~ 170rwp. And that link....doesn't it say he has about $5k in the motor???

 

it's not like i searched for hours trying to find a 170+whp na ka
i typed in google "na 240sx" and this was the first thing i found.
i'm not saying that you or project cheap13 are wright or wrong,
just because you can't find a dyno of a KA w/ more than 170 whp
doesen't mean that there isn't one.

i personaly agree w/ project cheap13 it could be done, "you" just have to know what you are doing.

and about WHP it also depends on what drivetrain mod's these people have (i.e) carbon driveshaft, lsd, light weight flywheel...etc. if you are runing a stock driveshaft, flywheel that is more rotational mass that you lose power through.
so we'll say the person that makes 170whp w/ their NA KA puts a really light flywheel in, that will free a few more hp and then the driveshaft will free up even more... so now you have a 170+whp NA powered KA...

 

Those dynos arenice, not high in power, but look at the torque band, it's relatively flat. You gotta love being able to work off that.

 

and don't forget about rims that'll make a pretty big difference.
a 45lb wheel & tire combo vs. a 25lb pair (each)




90lbs vs. 50lbs

 

Wow.. this thread took a different spin. Thanks guys for the help, i was just wondering what is the potential of NA KA. Since i plan on spending about $5k on the motor for now, i think i'll go KA-T or SR20. good luck to everyones rides. I'll keep you posted.

 

Yeah, if your lookinf for ++ hp go with a turbo.

 

go turbo

 

Man, thats an ugly power curve up top.... Looks like someone has some ignition problems....

 

Look at the parts list though... hasn't even really touched the internals. What about pistons, valves, valves springs? Maybe shaving the head, port polish, injectors? Things that produce some real power as opposed to just throwing on intake, exhaust, cams, and an ECU and expecting to see big numbers. I wouldn't expect an impressive power increase on any car with just that stuff.

 

Ok... Weigh the cost of new pistons, valves, valve springs, p&p, shaving the head, new injectors.... Wow, a basic turbo kit
