Best of luck man! Looks rad, I've been waiting for the Tomei parts catalog to finally release so I'm about to jump on that now that they've fully released the lineup.
I'm doing the same exact build with a t3 on my ka an have the same hp goal set in mine so I'm super excited to see yours man looks like a good setup keep posting!
I'm honestly really keen to see how this goes, I live in Australia and my brother had a 92 ka24 nissan navara and we always wondered how it would go turboed, even n/a it was a pretty fun car and more so being a ute, it loved rainy days ;). Definitely staying a subscriber and cant wait for the, first drive of the Isis turbo kit ka24 240sx. :D
nice nice! how much was the RS Enthalpy tune ECU? I'm sure you had to send yours in correct? And is that a harness adapter for it also. I've been wanting this kit forever. Glad to see someone actually purchasing the whole kit. Can't wait to see it pieced up! SUBSCRIBED!
I think $500 for s14. $400 for s13. you only send it in if you have s13. The s14 ecu is harder for them to tune and have problems so theh just send you an s13 ecu with a harness. ive wanted it forever too! Lots o money aha
can't wait! I plan on getting the same kit minus the turbo since i m getting a garret gt2871r. gotta find a spare ka for sale first so I can rebuild that motor for boost, my motor is too old and burns some oil
I know you briefly reviewed some of the things you bought in the video, but can you provide a complete list of the things you bought for this turbo build (aside form IRS turbo kit). Thanks, great video!!
Just put this exact same kit on my s14 KA this summer...the only difference is I put on a mishimoto intercooler since they didnt have the ISR ones in stock at the time...also check your intercooler piping they sent me piping for the s13 by accident in which had to get some pipes custom fabricated. Other then that turbo runs mint with a good tune.
no problem, I'm running at 10 psi on stock internals, and pushing about 275 hp to the wheels after dyno with a megasquirt ECU. I didn't want anything to crazy for the street.
I was running 7 for a few weeks, and even with that the torque is really snappy. I knocked it up to 10 when i had to adjust a few tweaks with the tune....look forward to seeing your build man
Haha hell yea, mine was my daily, and my homies and I went in and turboed it in a day and a half... now I'm over here on my 4th rebuild, so just be careful, I had what I thought was everything I needed like u have here, boy was I wrong 😂😂😂
dude don't get the isr maf. I heard it's like China spec lol. I ordered one but it was on back order for like a month so I cancelled my order. glad I did
man I'm sorry as a welder those welds look like garbage. that collector and runners should be smoothed out with a good carbide bit. I understand it's easy to by a manifold but I'd definitely clean those welds up. and wrap it. it will help with longevity.
when did you receive the turbo kit? I bought the same turbo kit like almost 3 weeks ago and they told me that it's back ordered and I won't receive it until December. I'm still kinda new to this but I was wondering if you could still do a external wastegate? I heard you say that it's already internal wastegate but I was just wondering. good luck with your build. 👍
6 weeks ish. Part of it was they werent shipping it due too not having the MAF in stock which still hasnt shipped. Im new too this too aha first time modding and engine! And you could weld the wastegate shut. But whats your reason for wanting an external? The wastegate is built for it so should work great.
lots of people have done KA with external gate. more commonly taking a stock S13 SR20DET manifold, welding a KA exhaust flange on it and welding the a bung on top for a the external to sit. External gate is much better at regulating boost pressure and usually doesnt cause boost to taper off like an internal gate does. And plus, external gate sounds awesome.
if you doing the -10 an drain Id to be safe get a stainless braided hose just to be safe with all the heatt coming off the turbo :) only a few more dollars why not future proof it
I was going to buy stainless but he told me this would be better. Older guy that seemed experienced said it wont melt has same temurature rating and is easier to use.
you over payed so much on this stuff. also i dont get why no one turbos there car according to laying everything out mathematically for maximum efficiency. in that turbo manifold is horrible it's one of the worst production ones I have ever seen the welds are horrible in the inside of that is just mind-blowing how they could sell such a product that is that bad is beyond me I encourage you to go look at other high-end manifolds and you will see that that one is horrible!! I would not use that on my Turbo build
