Very nice car, I would like to have a KA24DET, if I had the money.
So what did you do to your engine to set it up for the turbo??

Also can you make a list of things you have done to your engine or things that you recommend I do to my KA24DE to have a nice powerful engine.

20psi!? Holy mother of god u have too much $$$! Personally I plan to use a straight T4 on my KA, 2.4 litres is easily enough to spool it up, hopefully I can squeeze out around 300hp...

Before you blew your engine, did you rebuild the KA before bolting on the turbo??

Why did you use a 300zx fuel pump and J30 LSD?

UnderAge- I would rather have a full T4 as well, I just stumbled upon this turbo used only 1 month from a friend at a good deal so I bought it.

GTspecR- It was a completely stock motor and it lasted for about a year and a half. It probably would have lasted alot longer if I would have left it alone. I installed an Apex Super AFC and had someone adjust it that obviously knew nothing because 30 minutes later I melted a piston. It ran lean and got to hot.
Why use a 300zxTT fuel pump and J-30 LSD?
300zx TwinTurbo has a high flowing fuel pump from factory and it bolts right into a 240sx. I only paid like $70 for it
Infiniti J-30's come with Limited Slip Differentials from the factory, therefore I knew I could get one from a junkyard relatively cheap, hell alot cheaper then a KAAZ. I paid $300 for it and it bolted right in. You are supposed to have to shorten the driveshaft 1" but I didn't and it works fine. I went to the track the week before I installed it and ran 14.2@98 the very next week with unbloted exhaust and the LSD I ran 13.4@103 with a 1.9 60' time. This was all before the rebuild.

So the 300Z fuel pump should be good for all boost apps. Or at a certain amount of boost will a new pump be required?

300ZXTT fuel pump bolts right in does it? Hmmm... very interesting. How are they compared to a GT-R pump? I was planning on getting one of those, but if a 300ZXTT is just as good, I can save mucho dinero

Thats one hell of a ride you got there man! Just wondering how high where you (PSI) when you made that run of 14.2@98? My brother plans on get a turbo for his 93. Did you have any real problems with the car before the engine blew?

Thanks

SilviaSpeed- the 300zxTT should be good enough for very high boost levels, I run 20psi no problem on it.


UnderAgeEnthusi- The GT-R pump was actually a little quieter than the 300zxTT and the car wasnt as rich with it so I put the 300zxTT one back in, they both bolt right in.

642642- I was running 10psi at the 14.2 run and also the 13.4 run, the only difference being that I removed my exhaust and installed a limited slip differential. No problems before the engine blew, ther only reason it blew was having an inexperienced tuner work on my car, adjusting the AFC wrong.

The inexpirenced tuner would be rebuilding my motor and replacing whatever needed it, or have a nice lawsuit.

He's one of my good friends who knows alot about what he does to his car. I am not mad, I wanted more power anyway.
