[bsilvias13]

TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK OF THIS I GOT A COMPLETLY SHAFT PLAY FREE UNCHIPPED FIN GARRETT GT17 IM GONNA MATE IT TO MY KA24DE. SPOOLS SUPER FAST LIKE AROUND 1500. SO I SHOULD HAVE PERFECT POWER AND TORQUE FROM THIS MOTOR WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK IM ASSUMING IT WILL BE ABOUT 250RWHP AND AROUND 300FT/LBS. OH AND I BOUGHT IT FOR $50.00!:fawk:

um... wow...

No comment from me. Nice caps btw...

I love KA-T's but the KA's aren't known for their top-end power. I don't think a GT17 turbo will help out too much in the top end. That's like the turbo size that's used on our little 3 cylinder generator engines.

You will be boosting all the time. Good bye gas.

[bsilvias13]

it came off a saab so the turbo should last the 3.5 months i need it tooo then its sr time this is just something to get me by and i dont care about gas. i think this should be an awesome combo personally it will always be spooled and ready to go. and it will make power all over the rpm range. DOPE! i just cant wait to see the numbers on the dyno. and what the power curve looks like i let you guys know how it turns out who knows this could be gem and no one knows it yet.

A gem that will choke way before redline? Its way too small. If you really want to do it, go ahead, but dont cry when you throw it on the dyno and dont see productive results. 250/300?? Nice Dreams!

If you want those numbers on a KA, why not just run a T-25? You'll be sure to get numbers like that...

saab turbos unless off a Vigen or Aero are JUNK!


all down low, runs out of puff way down in the revs.


deff. look into a t25, or t28, then you'll forget about an SR.

OK im not the smartest person or anything, but if the turbo is spooling all of the time and therefore is constantly boosting, isn't that bad? Your engine would heat up a lot quicker and be HOT. You'd probably have to upgrade your cooling. Not to mention the amount of gas it will be sucking up? correct me if im wrong

OK LISTEN! oops sorry caps lock was on, dont want to piss of the caps lock police. *fuckin retards*. anyway this combo is gonna be awesome if you dont think ill get 250/300 youre on drugs i got the turbo from a friend of mine that works at a performance shop hes one of the mechanics and he had an altima with this motor and he pulled 260/297 on 8psi so whos the retard now just cause you read superstreet and watch initial d doesnt mean you know cars. I also could care less about gas (dicks) and i was really hoping that zilvia.net guys gave helpfull info not spend there time giving neg rep points but i guessed wrong. way to rep a good forum guys. u should all be proud. oh im gonna run 10psi.

[OptionZero]

whats the point of this thread? you ask what "we" think and all you can do is scream about how awesome it is (cuz ur "mechanic friend" said so, no less).

caps lock make you look like the dickhead brat you sound like.

Seriously, wtf, we dont need that kind of attitude around here.

[s13rookie]

You started this thread asking for opinions, i.e. "what do you guys think". Dont get offended when you dont like WHAT PEOPLE THINK.
