i just put a newer ka-e in my 90 s13 we got everything working and the car running good but it is horribly slow. this is the second one ive owned and thier is somthing wrong with this one. it like after partial throttle it doesnt matter, it feels like i am only throtling it a quarter to the floor. it has new dist. dist cap plugs and wires. some of the hoses might not be in the right spot if that helps. if thier is ant certain hose that would do that. it is just really sluggish and agervating. please help this is the last problem i am down to. oh also has new fuel pump...filter....and its not the injectors. any other ideas?

make sure that the sensor by the header (exhast manifold) is connected had the same prob and it was loose put it back in and everything was gravy, oh yeah try messing with the round thing with two house's connecting to it directly above your intake manifold make sure those are connected correctly or just try disconnecting them and putting little screws in them f either of these dont work i really can not think of anything else but the compression might not be where it is supose to be......

ill check those to, but i found out alot of it was bbecause my alternator had to be moved, my spark timing was off. i moved that and that already made a huge diffrence. but i will check those sensors to.

im poor:-( but serously ill probabley turbo it and the ka-e is better for that.
alright i got everythimg worked out and it still doesnt have all the power that it should......the motor is from an 89 and the ecu is a 90 would that have anything to do with it? are the motors from an auto and man. the same (cams....ect) im sure that they are but just if any one has heard anything diffrent let me know,thanks.

yay i got it....2 of the plug wires were backwards, in the wrong spot? it was like that when i got it.....it pulls amazingly hard, i fishtailed it in 2nd on dry roads and i wasnt even trying to. just goes to show if you put money into the sohc you can get good results :-)
