I was just wondering i was wanting to turbo my KA and i just wanted to see how u all did it b/c i am going to need all the help i can get

 

oh yeah and does anyone have any helpful kints or do's and donts would be great to thanks

 

Do:
-take your time sourcing parts
-take your time researching what is necessary and what isn't

Don't:
- skimp on anything
- blow up your engine

 

not the most recent, but you get the idea



key factor:
dont skimp on fuel delivery
detonation(BAD)

well im gonna be doing the same since i wont have that much money left over from selling my lude. im gonna get a nice set of coilovers first then what i have left im gonna start and piece this bad boy together. where are yall getting your de manifolds at? i want a cheap one with a t3 flange. also i havent done much research yet but can someone tell me how much power the ka will handle reliably. since im gonna go the cheapest way ill be running a fmu with inline. prob boost 8 psi for a while till i get bored. this setup is just to get me going down the road a little bit quicker till i have some cash for a sr. i was thinking of .48 ar t3/to4e with 57 trim. anybody running this size turbo on there ka? i want quick spool with decent high end. i tried both of those links but it wont do anything. thanks for any info

 

oh yeah where do yall tap for the oil feed to the turbo? on hondas we just tee off from the oil pressure sender. wheres the best place on a ka? im gonna try and boost for $800. hopefully it will be done within a few weeks after getting my 240.

 

if youre gonna rebuild the KA then dont worry about savin up for an SR, from what I have read a fresh KA with a turbo is gonna get you better power with more useable lowend, and if you put any amount of money into a stronger bottom end the head on the KA flows really nicely so if you work on the bottom end then the KA is pretty reliable for turbo,

 

same thing. T off the oil pressure sender on the oil filter plate. 1/8 BSPT fitting.
