someone wants to build a laggy drag car i guess, just dont see it was a good investment or well... fuck wtf is the strategy!

now that LS turbo powered s14 posted a while back I could understand that

no intentions of putting it on the streets, from ka-t.org.

so pessimestic!

if it built for drag, im pretty sure it going to have anti lag and such to build boost off the line, so the air at that part of the car would be cool.

There was a honda drag car, if you duck air to the turbo, and such in cold air, they gain 8lbs, but of course that guy was making 800+hp

Shakedown
11-01-2007, 09:06 PM
the APS kit seems like it has a perfect setup.
short headers and all.

altho the IC piping on that setup will be a little shorter.
plus the throttle body is in the front of the plenium,
assuming its connected and not just sitting there

that shits gunna stick thru the fuckin hood hella...

Bushido
11-01-2007, 09:10 PM
iirc, the turbo setup is like that because i believe he is adapting the turbos to fit onto aftermarket headers which are flipped, so that both exit to the front of the engine bay.

i also think the car is from sfl.

When I see this car, the only thing I can think of doing is intentionally driving it into a wall.

It's the same impulse I get when standing atop of something very high above the ground: I could jump right now....I'm not gonna, but I could.

Is that weird?

Obiviously most of you guys did not bother looking through his thread. if you did you would know the kind of work and time in creating and fabricating what he did.

The op could of posted up some better pics imo than just one.

its not just on the ka-t site or what ever its called, its also on hybridz.org and honda-tech.com that i know of
that car is badazz!!

That car looks like it'll be killer, some people like to use the 240s for drag cars, they actually dont make bad drag cars when you think about the light weight and rear wheel drive setups. potential for alotta swaps, but sidewaze is so much more fun. Reminds me of when I was on the evo forum and people woul make thier evos drag cars. Its all what you into.

People on Zilvia hate because there is a SMALL crowd into the drag racing stuff.

KA-T is pretty big on drag's from my time roaming that board.

Ya, that's it. You figured it all out in your what, 13 years in this World? I always find it funny that when people all agree on something, everyone holds hand, but when they disagree, they're 'haters' and get called out. It's a unique setup, true, but I personally don't like it and wouldn't run it. Guess what, that's called an OPINION. Everyone is entitled to one. Nowhere am I dismissing the skill, labor, or ingenuity involved, I just don't prefer something like that. Simple, a few other members don't either. That doesn't make our own skills worse off, nor is anyone saying they can do better.

Crying because other people disagree with what you think is cool is the single gheyest thing you can do on an online forum. So congrats for being the number one lover of cock. You like it, fine, enjoy it. Let the others who don't like it have their opinion without you shitting on the thread.

just because a car doesnt not have a SR, or has bigger turbos(TT even) or some serious HP does not mean the car is only for straight line racing or is ghey/waste of time/deserving to be crushed. I have over 400whp, I drag/Road race/and auto-x. I just adjust boost levels accordingly. my"bigger" turbo spools way faster enough for auto-x. If drifting was anything up here in ND my car could be used for drifting. It is all in how the car is built....

The fabwork on this car is amazing. Take some time and look at it

Like its been said, its a drag car. It belongs to a local, Miami240. Everything is pretty much custom and designed by him. His designs always have a purpose, they're not just random or for looks. Makes all his piping. Tunes everything himself. Crazy welding skills. Much respect from me. Very clean work, you have to respect that even if you're not into drag. His last KA-T setup made over 400whp on the stock bottom end and ran an 11.08 @ 123 in the 1/4mile. You can check drag240sx as he posts a lot there. I believe this is the setup as it runs now.

I second that. Not only will it bring some lag cuz of all the plumbing but its in a vulnerable spot if its going to be used for the track. I guess its better than a rear mounted turbo, but i mean the vq isnt that big of a motor. Might as well put them under the hood and get the performance plus it would look better IMO. But then again hes got the one up on me so all the more power to him.

edit: Didnt see it was for drag use, but still :)

Wow some of you guys are just seriously not paying attention.

How exactly is that setup going to require "tons of plumbing?" Are you NOT looking at the placement of parts?

And yeah, let's put the Down Pipes right infront of the tires. LoL are you kidding me?

Lag? Doubt it will be to bad . . . unless any of you honestly think he's gonna just slap an safc in there. LoL

Guys, it's obviously not a setup for "messin' around." It was put together for efficiency. I may not be a fan of a lot of different types of automotive sports (i.e. I prefer some more than others), but I can definitely appreciate good craftsmanship.

The only impression some of the posts in this thread gives me is that some of you guys only know how to yank steering wheels while having minimal understanding on what actually makes your car move and perform.

true enough, everyone is entitled to their opinions. but those formed on the basis of ignorance and misinformation hold sh*t for value.

I put the car together to be fast in a straight line. The car will be driven on the streets two or three times a week when i bring it out to play late night. I read all of the comments on here and just don't understand some. To those of you with your tons of plumbing comments:

http://www.drag240sx.com/datas/users/109-dsc02306.jpg

Where do you see tons of plumbing? My i/c piping is shorter than 99.9% of all turbo setups. I will not have a full exhaust that runs out the back. They will be very short downpipes that come out the side of the front bumber. Same goes for dumptubes. Manifolds were made with large long runners, 15 degree double slip collectors, 2.5" to t3 transition to the turbo and prioritized wastegate placement all for the fact that these heads flow great and unlike everyone else with a vq, i plan on utilizing that advantage by making a setup that will allow the engine to breathe. Yes, they are at danger in case of a crash but i didn't make this with the intentions of crashing it. I do not drift nor do i like drifting. The turbo placement allows for there to be less i/c piping, cool outside air delivery, and lower under the hood temps. Just because my setup doesn't seem practical to most does not mean it is not practical for what it will be used for or that i lack the knowledge or skill of making a better drift or track car than most on this forum. Even though i do not track race and don't like drifting, i can still admire good fabrication.

Look at the pictures he posted.. there IS hella plumbing. Look how far away the turbos are from the exhaust and intake ports.. everything has to be plumed back and forth from the turbo to the engine.

thats a lot of plumbing. the placement of the parts is the REASON I said it would be a lot.

haha

Its cool, its just said that its only for drag. Thats all I've said.

I still don't understand what you mean by alot of plumbing. generally when people refer to plumbing, they're talking intercooler piping, and if you refer to his post above, you'll realize the amount of intercooler piping isn't very much at all. In fact, I think . . . collectively, considering the way the entire setup will be when it's complete and the rest of the piping is finished . . . will still be less than a lot of setups out there.

Maybe you can take a look at the rest of the pics and then offer your suggestions. :)

Probably nothing. I figure with the turbos out of the engine bay and the big cowl hood it's going to have, i just don't see the under hood temps being very high. Plus i'd like to have easy access to the manifolds in case they crack. I want everything to be easily repairable on the setup.

^^ you gotta look at the other way tho.

to some of us, we want to run short manifold runners

top mount under the hood

and run v-mount.

but again, you think drifting ain't all that great, and well some of us don't like drag all that much..... and there are a few that hate both and rather do a road race.

just the way some are on here.

BTW, here is a picture of the car before when it still had the KA. I went [email protected] with a stock 120k+ mile KA long block, stock 5spd tranny, stock suspension, stock diff, axles and driveshaft, and drag radials at 18psi. This was my first time at the track in about 3 years. I had the boost cranked up a little more and went back the following week but only got two passes in which netted 125.x mph traps.

miami 240, is it true that you flipped a set of vq35 headers? or did you make those manifolds from scratch?

also what kind of engine mgmt are you planning on running the vq?

im also interested in what your setup was with the KA, impressive power.

Flipping some 350z headers was my original plan and i actually had bought some stainless DC Sports headers and had them on the car flipped but i just wasn't going to be able to live with myself if i skimped out on such an important part of the setup so i sold them and made my own. Engine management has been the main thing keeping me back. Until just recently, there wasn't a system out there that would control the VQ's VCT system and stock cam/crank sensors and all of the other capabilities i was looking for. I am now planning on going with the Haltech Platinum system.

Miami240
11-02-2007, 11:47 AM
The KA had a full-race t3/t67 HO turbo, 46mm wg, 3" dp and i/c piping, custom intake and turbo manifolds made by me, walbro pump, rc 750cc injectors, and a AEM EMS tuned by me as well. It was my real first fabricated setup and there were tons of things i would have done differently now that i look at it. I am currently applying some of my new ideas into my buddy's kat. He goes by the name of [email protected] on other forums.

The KA lasted quite some time, it actually is the same motor that went into [email protected]'s car, and still is in [email protected]'s car. It never "blew up" if I remember correctly, although I believe it IS built now, the only thing it ever went through were a couple of trannies. LoL

besides fitting big turbos, are the longer runners on the manifolds to help increase boost lag to help with traction?

That is some amazing stuff.... I do have to say though. Everyone complaining about where the turbo's are placed and the plumbing is hilarious. Honestly the IC piping is extremely short and I don't see how he could have made the Exhaust manifolds any shorter or smaller without putting a log on there that will choke off his top-end power(where he wants it). A 240 with a VQ in bay is cramped enough..add two manifolds and those turbos under hood. I can't even imagine what that shit would look like. Miami240 you have skills for sure. Any interest in fabbing SR topmount manifolds??? LOL

BTW, here is a picture of the car before when it still had the KA. I went [email protected] with a stock 120k+ mile KA long block, stock 5spd tranny, stock suspension, stock diff, axles and driveshaft, and drag radials at 18psi. This was my first time at the track in about 3 years. I had the boost cranked up a little more and went back the following week but only got two passes in which netted 125.x mph traps.

We've all established that some people like drifting, some like drags, and some like road racing. Doesnt mean we all have to agree on what's the "best."

We've also established that his setup works well for what it was intended to do, whether you think his intercooler should be mounted on top of the engine, in front of the engine, or in his passenger seat.

Neme already said that the plumbing doesnt look bad now that its done, so everyone can stop with the plumbing comment nonsense.

And finally, if someone says "jdm tyte" one more time I'm going to start taking an online hacking course just so I can send you a virus that makes your computer burn in hell because it drives me fucking crazy every time I see some douchebag who has nothing useful to say post up that gay ass fucking phrase now please go kill yourselves for forcing me into typing this extremely long run-on sentence.

The KA had a full-race t3/t67 HO turbo, 46mm wg, 3" dp and i/c piping, custom intake and turbo manifolds made by me, walbro pump, rc 750cc injectors, and a AEM EMS tuned by me as well. It was my real first fabricated setup and there were tons of things i would have done differently now that i look at it. I am currently applying some of my new ideas into my buddy's kat.

:rolleyes:

hahahahahaha. Awsome comparison.

In all reality the fact that his manifolds are a foot longer than ones from aps kit does not really make any noticalbe difference. The exh gases are moving so fast it would not be noticable.

The ic piping looks to be about the same as a stock sr when combined. I am impressed with his fab skills, and execution.

Thanks for the comments so far guys. The car won't be running anytime soon. The project has been put on hold so that i can work on my buddy's kat and my g/f's car along with saving up some money. I do all of my own fabricating, including 99.5% of the welding. Sometimes i'll hit a spot that my torch is too big to reach so i'll take it to a local welder for a touch. Even if it's not the nicest or fastest, i take pride in telling people that i designed, fabricated, built, tuned, and raced my own car.

It looks great! I find it kind of funny that people complain about lag, when most front mount SR/KA setups end up with more overall piping (charge and exhaust combined).

One quick question: how's your oil drain setup? I'd imagine you'll need a couple extra sumps with a pump feeding back to the engine?

The return stuff isn't set up but basically it'll consist of what you said. I'll make a couple of little sumps to sit right under the turbos and a scavenge pump drawing the oil from both of them pumping it back into the pan.

but, gaddamn... isnt there a less complex setup available? pipes all over the fucking place, especially on the jun car. which, i might add, is not a fair comparison. the jun car is complete and fully functional, while yours is not and the engine bay still has a lot of pieces left to be installed (should you chose to run PS and various other things).

when you start doing this much work, it makes me wonder if there are other (larger) more powerful motors that will be less complex and simpler. afterall, its a car.. not a space shuttle.

ps: will it have cruise control and air conditioning? >;-)

dude not trying to start and argument, but this is the way I see it. To each their own, we all admire his craftsman ship, that is a bad ass set up IMO, and to answer your questions he said this would be a drag car track only with the exeption of maby 1 or 2 days a week he'd take it out ont eh street to dick arround. so that will answer your AC question. power steering IDK. I'm thinking he might run an electric set up like Miata's :loco:

In regards to mike's post: from what i saw of angel's ka build he likes to do things his way. he likes it when people talk about how this set-up or that set-up is better and/or easier than the one he's doing only to prove his case with real numbers. I can't tell you how many times i saw ppl tell him his KA wouldn't hold up to what he wanted to do only to see it suceed. I've already seen a few naysayers in regards to his VQ set-up, talking about how it wont reach the #'s he's looking for b/c so and so couldn't do it.....i guess we'll just have to see.

Mike, the owner plans to drag race this car mainly. He stated that he may take it out for an occasional night romp. I highly doubt he'll install A/c or cruise control. However he may powersteering, but it looks like a tight fit and probably unlikely as well.

nah nah, i know.....

i was fucking around, hence the big smiley face at the end of that post. when turbos are facing the front of the car, you already know the owner said "fuck power steering, cruise, air, etc"

i mean no shit, its a stripped down race car.. its not going to have much of the amenities. However, the JUN car still does keep some of those items.. which is just a small detail i wanted to point out when comparing the two engine bays. Not that I care though, because i dont have much of a need for power steering in any of my cars.

Seriously all of these types of post are getting rediculous. He doesn't have to ignore the haters, b/c after some clarification no one has really "hated" on him or his set-up. Everyone has stated that the quality of work is great, and the set-up is good, FOR WHAT HE WANTS TO DO W/IT. No one has to like drag, drift, auto-x, street racing, show car, trailer/dyno queen, or any other set-up that anyone post. To some ppl drag racing takes no skill, to some drifting is gay, to others building a car w/track proven components only to dd it is a waste of money, but when its all said and done who cares! In Angel's case its his time and money, in the case of ppl who track their car its also their time and money, and for ppl like me who just drive their cars on the street it is once again my time and my money. This is not a direct shot at you, ok maybe it is, but also at everyone who wants to disagree just b/c they don't see eye-to-eye on the true purpose of a particuliar platform and what it's "meant" to do./

I don't really have crazy goals with it yet except for maybe going mid 10's with the stock engine. Keep in mind that i'll never put an automatic trans in my car. I will stick to a manual H pattern even if it means going through them like i used to go through KA trannies. I might be a drag racer but i still like to DRIVE my car. Honestly, i don't have personal experience with VQ's so i'm sure there is tons of shit for me to learn up ahead. Eventually, my final goal will be to build the motor and reach a very reasonable 4 digit hp figure but mainly drive it around at about 600whp on pump gas. I'll probably then try to sell it and start on something else.
