dreaming agian?
 

finally got $ saved up. looking to turbo my 92'.. like the other 53423 million. i have a 5-speed ka24de with 120,000 on it.

i dont have much knowlegde so correct me if im wrong about what i need. i would also app. it if i could get a rough estimate on cost and best sites/brands to go by? what can i get from ebay?

and since the high mileage what should i do? internals wise? pistons?

-bov
-turbo manifold
-downpipe
-fmic
-370cc SR injectors?
-emanage
-msd, im thinking?

im shooting for the 200-250 whp range



i know i need to sreach, and i am. i just cant seem to find the info i need.

check ur compression rate to determine if u need new internals or not...if that checks out ok then ur ok for mild boost setup..

get the turbo outlet/downpipe from ebay

get the greddy m-spec fmic, its only like 400 which is amazingly cheap for a good name brand

dont forget about a turbo, wastegate, fuel pump, boost controller...and thats all i can think of right now

emanage isnt necessary, just get an safc and a good tune

msd? u dont need ignition crap unless u got extra money

oh and metal headgasket would be helpful..

what are some safe internal repairs i should consider?

and as far as the turbo, wastegate, and fuel pump, wheres the bast place to look? is that pretty much all i will need to push about 250whp(including the other parts listed)?


and how much money am i looking to spend on this? roughly

oh and dont forget about oil/coolant lines for the turbo..

enjuku racing/jgycustoms/ebay/option imports ect just google whatever product ur looking for and find the best price

well if ur gonna do internal work u may as well do it all while u got it apart..but if ur only lookin for 250hp then u dont need internals as long as ur compression check comes out ok.

if i was u i would get bigger injectors.

bigger than the SR ingetors i mentioned?

SR injectors are fine. The most important part though is definitely tuning. Most KA's blow up due to people skimping on the tune. Take it to a reputable shop and have them tune it, dont just order a JWT ECU and think you are good to go because those things have some crazy settings...

what he said

great. thanks for the info! what turbo should i get if im trying to get about 250whp?

s14 t28 bb will do fine, find one for around 300bucks and good to about 16psi

You dont want to run 16 PSI on a KA with stock internals though. While it may last for a little while, it will go one day. I would run .5 BAR (~7 PSI) MAX on a KA with stock internals....

yea i never said run that high, and u can run 10psi easy with a tune

wheres the best place to bag that sucker?:ugh:

how much money am i looking to spend on this all together? roughly

check on zilvia.net and other large 240 forums in the for sale section, just search for it

im looking to do the same but my goal is a lil more whp. i just bought another engine and brought it to get cleaned and shiite. im gonna put in internals so it lasts. u might find that that would be the best route even if it cost more money short term. is that m-spec fmic good for close to 300whp?

yes it should hold that much power no problem

what kind of turbo are you lookiing at?

-ebay turbo outlet/inlet
-greddy m-spec fmic
-s14 T28bb turbo
-wastegate needed?what fuelpump?
-bc
-BOV what kind?
-turbo mani
-370cc injec's

is this going to kill me finacially?

itll be 1600-200 depending on what u get/deals...ur not kiddin about ur name lol u are cheap, u gota pay to play man and if u cant handle dedication of ur money into ur car then maybe u should reconsider ur game..

wastegate is needed, get an HKS

walbro 255 fuel pump

bov, just pick what u like, and good name brand will do fine

just get some used sr injectors, they go for around $100

it might seem like im trying to have-ass my set-up but im really just trying to spend the least amount of money, college tu. 1st, and whats left over get to go towards the car, im just trying to be smart. haha and thanks, for helping me out, greatly appreciated.

yea im in college to so i know how it is, no problem
