cx racing turbo kit?

[bees]

jw if anyone has heard or used their turbo kit? their kit claims to push 232 WHP with no tune and stock injectors/ecu. "direct bolt-on" they say.

[s13 @ fullboost]

Looks way legit =] I would buy it if I ever rebuilt my KAE

[s13 @ fullboost]

ask otis performance he is a member on here he would know

[soreballz]

^Ehh, Otis is biased since he's a dealer for them.

[s13 @ fullboost]

haha so still ask him anyways and just see what he says

[soreballz]

^Why bother asking him? He's a dealer for them. Even if its a piece of shit kit, he's gonna tell you its good because he had to sell them.

Imagine you're in the year 1976. You walk into a Ford dealership, and ask a salesman if the Pinto is a piece of shit. Do you think he's gonna tell you that its a piece of shit? No, he's gonna tell you that its the best value for the money.

Get it?

Anywho... CXRacing kit = China turbo kit. It is common knowledge that China turbos are garbage.

To add to that, if their power claim is true, how long do you think your stock motor is going to last at 232whp with STOCK INJECTORS AND A STOCK ECU? Not long... Not long at all.

If you must have it, source your own turbo, a BOV that doesn't suck, a wastegate that doesn't suck, get some aftermarket (or stock SR) injectors, and some sort of ECU upgrade/tuning device.

SR injectors will not work on a single cam.

[majuljo]

actually otis might sell the kit but otis is way legit he wouldnt try to sell you anything you didnt want. he offers what people want. but to each his own, so talk to him and if you dont like him thats your take no one elses we are just giving opinions.

Look at this thread it'll help you decide.

http://zilvia.net/f/advertiser-specials-sales/200112-new-release-ka24e-ka24de-turbo-kit.html

Also, I have their complete kit on my ka24de hatch with a JWT computer and 50 lb. injectors and have had an excellent experience with it. I'm several thousand miles in and so far perfect. I would recommend it to any Zilvian on a budget. Whetstone Performance Prototypes designed the kit here in SoCal so it's not a "Cheap China Kit" that people like to through around so easily. Kevin at CX is a honest guy that is trying to help those of us without 5 grand to blow on a kit and makes sure to include the little parts that make it a great entry level kit. I would not recommend going past 6 psi boost without a "Correct" tune, it is what makes or breaks engines all day long.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

[240cracker]

my friend put that kit on his single cam
shits legit

i have their front mount on my car too

[ZX88]

my friend put that kit on his single cam

i have their front mount on my car too

i also have the front mount it was pretty good quality only issue i has was one of the silicon couplings was too large.

[norcal_black240]

Ive heard good and bad reviews about the kit.

The bad I have heard about it is the manifold cracking.

www.ka-t.org :: View topic - You guys got your wish. CX racing manifold (http://www.ka-t.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36032)

The cost of the kit is very cheap compared to others tho. I wont bash on it cause I havnt seen it in person or heard any really good reviews on it.

[tckracker]

I fabbed up a v-style turbo support(2 bolt up to the underside of the turbo 1 to the block) on my CXR kit and haven't had any problems. I've built turbo kits before and even cast manifolds will crack with excessive heat and vibrations, just my .02
I'll snap some pix and post later.
-Shaun

[svensko]

Would never run a turbo anything with stock injectors/ECU. That's a recipe for disaster. But then again, I guess I just like my cars as reliable as possible. :wiggle:

[SimpleS14]

I don't see anything on the first link posted by the OP....anyone else get the same issue?


I look at the link on KA-T.org and looking at the going price...its stupid cheap, but I would be iffy on getting it.

[BoostSlideWayz]

Yes they are a great company!! i drove to the place to pick my kit up and they were super friendl!! everything is bolt on instead of the oil return of course. I havent taken it to the dyno yet but mines a KA24E-T and it spools hard and fast. Very good kit for drift because it give your car amazing torque. Me and a buddy installed it in about 1 1/2 days cuz the day we got back home was just tuning dark and our welder didnt start on the return flange till the next day. But so far im really having fun with the car. Hope you do too!

[bo2o]

if i still had a sohc i would buy there kit kuz dam.. its hard to find a nice bolt on turbo kit that cheap for it.

i heard mixed reviews on china turbos.

theres a second gen that china turbo have been producing. heard to have better flow in the oil seals. only flaw alot of ppl have is there front fan blade come loose. kuz of no lock tight.

def for the sohc with low miles. and rx7 injectors fit on kaE you might need resistors.
kould be bought at jgstools.com

if you have a ka24de you can source out a kit for way cheaper just bottom mount with a sr turbo. t25.

[txrxs]

rx7 injectors fit on kaE you might need resistors.
kould be bought at jgstools.com

$4 gets the job done:
RadioShack.com - Cables, Parts & Connectors: Component parts: Capacitors & resistors: 1.0 ohm 10W 10% Wirewound Resistor (2-Pack) (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062290&cp=2032058.2032230.2032267&parentPage=family)

I'd say building your own kit would be cheaper. Although I purchased mine from another member(not the cx racing kit). I already had another kit pieced together for around $300.

Is anyone running this kit that has a wideband installed? They claim it's safe, but I'm really curious how the stock ecu, fuel pump, and injectors hold up to 232whp?

[Marcus]

yea that sounds too good. maybe initially. probably for a while.

[BoostSlideWayz]

mines running fine with the kit. only cost me 1297.00 pretty dam good deal. and when it spools it wants to spin the wheels just by taking off. and thats taking off conservativly.... im having lots of fun with this kit. everything was welded nice and strong. manifold internaly looked perfact, The only thing is with this kit is im spooling reall early. I cant tell exactly what RPM is spools yet cuz my RPM guage was broke ever since i got the car. but yeah the kit spools really hard, i love it. It seemed too good to be true but i think there a good company.

Im on stock injectors and i hit 9 PSI. soo thats pretty good for me

so u didnt upgrade anything besides the kit itself? how many miles do u have on the kit? and do u daily drive?

[svensko]

I already had another kit pieced together for around $300.


Can we give a parts list? My NA KA is on its way out (198K miles) and I'd love to put a small turbo on it to it's not completely slow.

[johnksoy]

I know hp rating isnt a very accurate term to use, but does anyone know the hp rating of the manifold?

[K's_silvia s13]

i'm thinking to get me a kit for my ka24de ....the price is great and i've been researching on it and i've been reading good reviews.

i guess if anyone have the kit and post something about it niether its good or bad, it will clear alot of questions..

more good reviews and ill prolly be picking one up lol... sr swap cost alot and u don't get that much hp to the wheels on stock swap so you have to do upgrades and shit....i have alot of friends with ka-t and most of them say u have to build the motor if you going over 8psi, ka's aren't new motors my car is a 93 so my engine is 15yrs old so u know one day it will have to go. with that price for the kit ill prolly be able to save money to built the motor down the road..

[Shadytrixta1]

so anything new on these? or this company?

[xKennie]

i was actually looking at that kit earlier today before i purchased mine. i searched for a couple days for a "cheap" kit to just get my feet wet. i know the turbo aint the best on these for sure tho. however some say they are pretty good i guess.
anyways i was pretty conviced to get their kit and i came upon this company.

AdvancedJDMParts.com - Performance Parts and Accessories - Advanced JDM Parts (http://advancedjdmparts.com/home.php)

They have a bottom and upper mount kit for the ka24de.
i believe the kit for the bottom mount is 849.99 and upper is 945.99.
anyways i decided to go and pick it up today and the guys there are pretty cool.
heres a pic when i took it all out of the packaging at home for a pic
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/krballer2/240sx/DSCF3407.jpg
im getting my block machined at the moment and picking it up monday. once i get this installed i will post pics and reviews. i am also only thinking bout runnin 7 psi. reading more about psi and informing myself of more turbo knowledge as im typing =] the old man is helping me learn to.

[HellaSlowAndOld]

if i were u i would change the "ebay" turbo for the sr20 t25/28, because ebay turbos r a hit or a miss, most of the time its miss... and the sr t25/28 alreadt run 7psi, so u dont ever have to worrie about over boosting...also recirculate ur bov(if u have one) i really wouldnt drive with out a tune as well, just my 2cents...good luck :)

[LA_phantom_240]

Their stuff looks pretty legit, I just purchased a CX Racing radiator for my S14. 1/2 the price of a Koyo, how can I complain? Should be coming in this next week.

what do you mean as "a tune"? the ecu automatically tunes the vehicle based on exhaust gasses. are you suggesting to have the ecu reprogrammed?

[tckracker]

Read this thread ( http://zilvia.net/f/advertiser-specials-sales/200112-new-release-ka24e-ka24de-turbo-kit.html )and you'll find all the answers you're looking for. You need to reprogram the stock computer(Jim Wolf, Enthalpy, etc.) because the computer can only 'compensate' for so much with the various sensor input.

please fix link. it wont let me acess the page. says i dont have the privilege to do so

[gsxr141]

i've had my eyes on this kit for a while now. i've spent countless hours trying to find the parts to turbo my sohc.as far as i can tell, it's the best way to turbo a single cam. i tried to calculate the cost of making my own kit, but i can't beat their price. also, i've heard the kit goes right on with no issues. you can't say that about alot of other kits. if you're worried about the turbo, just replace it when it goes south.
as soon as i get my kit, i'll post up pics and vids.

[traded13b-4-240]

ive been eyeballing this kit as well. i plan on rebuilding a single slammer then getting this kit. seems pretty legit.

[Exas Spec D]

I have pretty much cx racing everything on my KA24DET except the T25, 370cc, Walbro, Emance, SAFC, Blitz SS bov, and JGS oil line kit. Running super awesome, spanked some arses here and there.

[zenki.life]

id say hell no. i know someone whos engine caught fire from using it. however who know how they put it on and what they did so it could be their fault. so its anyone game really. just my 2 cents

[tckracker]

I'm Running their complete kit on my 240sx KA24DE hatch and LOVE it. In addition I have one of their T3/T4s on my turbo Thunderbird and also LOVE it. NO problems. High marks to CXR. My .02

are u running the complete kit without the tune and bigger injector/ecu setup?

[Tearlessj]

Yea please input on the turbo, bov and wastegate some more. I was planning on getting the kit but replacing those items.

[slick_s13]

Yea, ive been doing as much research on thier stuff as possible myself. Finally started saving a week ago lol. im half way there, so in about 2 weeks i should have it on my SOHC. Plus i talked to Boostslidewayz a while back about his kit, and thats what really made me want to buy it. So far hes the only person that ive ever talked to that actually has one on a SOHC. but i cant really seem to find a bad review on cxr's stuff at all. Atleast not from people that have actually used thier products. I'll post pics and vids as soon as i get it on :]

[tckracker]

I run their COMPLETE kit. Turbo, BOV, and Wastegate included. I haven't had any problems and the fit was great. They actually work with the same manufacturers that the big brand names buy from. I have an additional brand new KA24DE kit that I was going to put on my coupe but my other projects need $$. So if anyone is interested let me know.
-Shaun

[slick_s13]

Oh, awesome. Did you get compressor surge with the BOV that it came with? And also, around what rpm do you hit full boost, and how much boost do you run? lol sorry for all the questions. I know im going to get some injectors first, but idk if i can really trust the BOV and wastegate that it comes with. Those two things are my only real concern because it seems like a good kit.

[kalypso123]

CX racing!? I cant believe you guys are for real with this

I can understand the manifold atleast... and then maybe going over the welds, but I wouldn't touch a cx turbo....

buy a HOLSET!

[240cracker]

any updates with this kit?

i was talking to james at g.dimensions a while back when i took my sr out. he told me the turbo has been tested and is actually alright. that u cant beat it for the price.

i ran there front mount/dp/manifold on my sr and everything was good.

i just want to know anyone who actually has the kit and is running it as it comes

[VATOCLOWN]

I live in LA next to Rene Motorsports (rms) and he always has cars from cxracing and is always making manifolds and down pipes piping ect. great quailty! the only thing i would do is change the turbo but thats it. ive seen the red 240sx s13 up close and heard it running the car now has a sr20 redtop with the gt35 topmount kit on stock ecu 9psi and at wot he said it runs 11.0 afr.

[VATOCLOWN]

oh and i run there fmic and radiator works great for me so far

[240cracker]

what about the turbo makes u think u should change it?

[Sergio180sx]

i just had gilbert from amerikajin put mine in its a t28 from cx racing and right after i drove it to vegas to break it in and it works and pulls hard i love it!!!

[tckracker]

Just an update still running my kit and still no problems. Well one problem... I go thru tires FAST!!! :) And yes I'm running their complete kit... including the turbo, actually I'm still running their T3/T4 on my Turbo Coupe T-Bird too. And crazy, no problems there either. I'm actually thinking of upgrading both of my cars to the GT35. I'll let you guys know if I do.
-Shaun (CX supporter)

[Chue240sx]

are you running this kit: Turbo kit 240SX S13 S14 KA24DE GT35 Ball Bearing Bolton : eBay Motors (item 370299643362 end time Jan-29-10 18:25:41 PST) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Turbo-kit-240SX-S13-S14-KA24DE-GT35-Ball-Bearing-Bolton_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem56379425e2QQitem Z370299643362QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fA ccessories)

or what kit are you running? How's everyting in the kit holding up? Any cracks on manifold or downpipe or boost creep or over boosting with the wastegate?

[jay pee]

cx racing is s good company n there stuff wrks and its all for a fair price. im running there radiator and front mount for my sr20 and they wrk just as good as any other brands no issues wat so ever...so it dosent surprise me that the turbo kits are legit.


for sale: apexi avc-r electronic b.c. $195 _( missing boost pressure sensor)

[IMSLIDIN]

so would u guys recomend this kit im looking into getting the ka24de kit (on a budget) and plus i figured later on i could upgrade the turbo and get more power (along with the pistons and all that other stuff)

or is that jdm kit xkennie got better?

[s14fbs]

fuck cx racing i wouldn't even use there shit for a coffee table

got the kit

it all broke in under a month

first the waste gate stuck open junked that
then the waste-gate flange broke off the manifold and my brand new tial got destroyed cause i lost it on the highway
then the turbo blew and left me on the side of the road
this is all in under a months time

the turbo placement is shitty and the manifold blows gaskets like crazy

and who ever welding everything must have been either a blind person or a 12 year-old with a welder

the inter-cooler is alright thats the only thing that never broke but a few clamps broke off

maybe i got a bad WHOLE KIT but i would never even consider buying anything from them again

[blackoutt]

Not a bad kit but you should clean up the welds on the inside of the mani, add strain relief cuts in flange between primaries, go over some welds and/or add bracing, some better gaskets, and better hardware. Solid for 7psi. Don't run higher on stock motor for too long. Ask me how I know.

is this how you know
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t72/easternbikes1990/get-attachment-3aspx-5.jpg

but on another note my buddy runs 21psi on stock internals makes 415 wheel drives the piss out of it for a little over 2 years on stock internals with just a cometic headgasket arp head studs so sometimes you get lucky

[blackoutt]

^ Wow looks familiar. Agreed; sometimes you will get lucky. God only knows the abuse my car saw before I rescued it, it was definitely not well kept.

[fckillerbee]

i just wanted to confirm...you can buy "x" kit...bolt it on....and go?

What does this come with that make the turbo work with the stock ecu?

I'm sorry i just keep hearing people run other forms of ecu... and other people are saying they just bought it and mounted it up to their vehicle.

[!Zar!]

Any changes in induction needs to have fuel and timing adjusted.

different filter? or are you talking maf and sensors, throttlebody, that stuff?

[s14fbs]

different filter? or are you talking maf and sensors, throttlebody, that stuff?

induction means turbo

u need a tune afc or rom tune emange ect also need a z32 maf and highly suggest bigger injectors

but the way i look at it turbo setups are not in anyway meant to be cheaped out
if you dont have a enough for a full setup you dont have money for a turbo in general

you gotta pay the cost to be a boss

according to the previous posts....you don't need a different maf or injectors....this is why I was being very specific.

I know forced induction means being forced into something....and superchargers aren't turbo.....so please...be specific.

the reason why i'm asking, is if this is a strait bolt on no tune application, then that would be benificial for the price...if it isn't and you still need to buy some engine management system, it would be just the same as any ebay stuff out there with ebay parts....

like some of the previous posts mentioned, they are running on stock injectors and stock ecu....but did not list parts such as a power fc or something of air fuel mapping device.

And if this cxracing turbo kit comes with a engine management system that you could splice into your ecu, or connect to...then that's great....it's a complete package...i'm just tired of researching shit to find out its not all there....as i am a turbo noob.

[!Zar!]

There is not a turbo kit that will last if you are running a stock setup.

Maybe if you are running like 1 or 2 lbs? But what would the point be in that? And even then, unless you have a wideband, even that will bite you in the ass.

YOU CANNOT TURBO A KA24DE W/O SOME KIND OF TUNING AFC / ROM /ECT
AND W/O INJECTORS AND A BIGGER MAF YOU WOULD MAKE NOOOOOOO POWER AT ALL

AND cx racing does not include any kind of ecu engine management if you read or research

[Devius]

Heres a good question for anyone to answer. If you wouldnt pick up the "Bolt on turbo kit" from CX Racing. Whats a good basic/starter turbo kit that you would buy for a KA24. and by basic/starter i mean bolt on, few part swaps (Injectors, MAF, tune, etc.) package like the Cx kit is advertising that a turbo noob, like myself, could actually work with.

i can vouch for the cx racing turbo kit...i worked on the cx racing car...the motor did run on stock ecu and injectors but is recommended that you upgrade injectors..

we maxed the single cam turbo kit up to 300hp 305tq using RC 550cc and AEM FIC...

this is a final product in test built
and tested @ RMS.This Bolt on Kit is
distributed by CXRACING.com and Rene's Motorsport.com.

The bolt on Kit Produced [email protected] 7 psi boost.Using stock ECU and MAF sensor.Using 91 octane fuel and 3 degress retard ignition(manual retard distributer)SETUPS MAY VARY ON ALL CARS,this was tested with a pro lamba AIR METER and results showed 11.0 air mixture throught the power band.

..Thank you, I understand...which is why I thought it was a little odd seeing this...I've never reasearched the pro lamba air meter.....this is a section from a youtube dyno video on a ka24de.

I thought maybe cx racing offered it with their kit....thats all. Thanks for the clarity....take a breather.

[Sleepiedaze]

save the money and buy something better. i purchased this kit on december 2009. KA24de with intercooler and T3/T4 turbo. installed the kit and added the following

850 injectors (yes i know big ass injectors i know)
Fuel pressure regulator
Greddy emanage (blue box)
ARP head studs
different oil return lines
gaskets and misc stuff.

the problems start from day 1 of the install and are as follow.

manifold does'nt fit properly.
down pipe rubes with brake lines.
no clearance after waste gate is installed.
oil return line was to short and did not reach.
intercooler piping was to long and needed to be trimed down.
the turbo hits the brake resivour

after all these set backs everything was installed and the car was able to idle fine took about 4 weekends to get everything installed. took it to Church automotive for tuning ... and the turbo leaks oil when getting to 5 pounds. of course i could not continue.

called CX racing to let them know that i purchased the turbo from them and less then 200 miles (driving from SD to LB for tuning at 55mph) the turbo was no good. in short there exact words are "we dont do refunds your fucked."

if your looking for a turbo kit i say go with JGS manifold. get a good turbo and piece the rest together. dont waste your money on this CX racing crap. just my review and my 2 cents.

850 injectors (yes i know big ass injectors i know)
Fuel pressure regulator
Greddy emanage (blue box)
ARP head studs
different oil return lines
gaskets and misc stuff.

the problems start from day 1 of the install and are as follow.

manifold does'nt fit properly.
down pipe rubes with brake lines.
no clearance after waste gate is installed.
oil return line was to short and did not reach.
intercooler piping was to long and needed to be trimed down.
the turbo hits the brake resivour

best way to get kits from them is actually show up and inspect them. I drove there and picked up and looked everything over my self. i installed the kit with no problems at all. the waste gate was really close to the shock tower but they said you dont actually need the top hole at all and just to leave it alone. the turbo kit seemed to run good on my car. my buddy ordered piping from them and intercooler and there was only 1 correct pipe. its just better to go there cuz then when your watching them assemble the kit they really pay attention.

I don't understand why you guys are willing to go through this, You should all know what everyone on here is going to say. It's cheap, It's poorly made, It breaks, It has to be modified, Guys you pay for what you get... Keep that in mind when purchasing parts, Live and learn... Buy the kit try the kit and if it blows up in your face... Just remember, you were trying to invest money in a cheap product from a place that uses cheap parts and cheap construction.

I dont know if me and a few others were lucky.. but i didnt have to modify anything.. kit bolted and lined up perfectly with no issues. I do agree that there online services suck.. and they send you the wrong parts. Maybe theres just people once in a blue moon that have good experiances with the kit.

[tek_88]

wouldn't reccomend if you want your power steering, ac, bmc. Downpipe and manifold sucks. Their refund and service sucks too. Don't buy it you will regret it.

Still have that kit on my ka, but since then i've built the motor.

Only issues i've been working out is electronic but as far as the kit goes i've not had anything go wrong. I like cx racings radiators and intercoolers, i think they do a pretty good job. And alot of their stuff now days even though its not as good quality as name brand companies they are doing alot of their production and fabrication in the states now. If you look on their FB page they do just about all their production here in California.

I'd say their KA manifold is decent, even though i haven't had problems so far it may be because i dont go on long drives. I'd personally suggest the wastegate flange be re enforced with some sort of brace.

Obviously this is an extremely old thread so im sure the OP isnt interested in this any longer. But its nice to see an old thread pop up.

4 year old thread.

Welcome back.

i'm thinking about buying the cx racing turbo kit with the t3/t4 turbo, intercooler, etc. for my ka24de
i would run stock injectors and ecu if i could but according to this thread it sounds like I should upgrade injectors and my ecu...
what size injectors and what ecu do you guys recommend?
