Longblock was super clean already. Just need a new Valve Cover as previous cover was shaved and running Coilpack setup.

Also prep the Intake Manifold for boost so most ports are plug and only running necessary lines.

Here's a pic of the simplified version of the KA Manifold. I'm using S14 Upper Half so I don't have to worry about butterflies being removed and plugged. The turbo water lines are the one that goes to the TB. I'm routing that now to the turbo and just sawed up the ports on the TB.

Just an Update...

Last week I ordered an ISIS V2 KA24DE Turbo Manifold. For it looks more solid than what I currently have and seems to have better clearance from the BMC as well. We shall see once I received it.

I'm also debating if I should just shoot for High HP for I do have a Built KA ready for it. Over the weekend I came across a deal hard to pass up which was a Good Condition Holset H1E turbo. Had a little play so I decided to go ahead and rebuild it anyway. Rebuild kit has been ordered and shaft and turbine compressors has been re-balanced earlier today " Thanks to Yoni_Nismo". Just to show you guys how big this turbo is check the pic below. I know going for High HP will lag but for these project being High Comp and Twin Scroll hopefully it should be enough to help with spool time. I may just save the 20g and Isis manifold on my S13 Vert Project. Either way I'm still undecided for I don't have a solid drivetrain that can handle that much HP.

Good thing you asked this question. I intend to go back and start attending local drift events again. With that in mind I had to re evaluate my turbo setup while Holset would be powerful it would most likely be too laggy even on a high compression motor. I'm sure it would be great for a drag car.


With the Holset I have currently being too big on the a turbine side and requiring to spend more money on Twin Scroll type turbo manifold. I'm actually selling this turbo as well as my 20G bottom mount setup. I know with the 20G it would be powerful enough to make low to high 400whp numbers. I just want more room on the turbo side plus having the footprint for a better turbo like the PTE6262 in the future. For now I was able to put together T3/T4E 60 trim top mount setup on a good flowing turbo manifold with boost regulated by 38mm Tial ext WG. Currently awaiting my Big Blue spring...

nice, i can finally understand every single thing your doing since i have gone through my build already. and yea you dont wanna wrap that exhaust manifold..its asking for crack. haha

that oil return line, is that your old set up or did you just put that together in this build? because when i did mine just like yours, it seemed to point at a slight downward angle.

You should buy my bottom mount and build it.. LOL

Oil Pan was already done when I got the long block. But it's basicly an weld on 10an bung.

Looks dope.. Can't wait to see it done.
Me too.. Hopefully soon, But I'm not necessarily rushing things.

I don't recommend wrapping a stainless steel manifold... Mild steel sure. But not stainless...
Depends.. If your rocking cheapo bottom mount manifold with BMC clearance issue and high engine bay temp. It make sense to wrap them and should it crack I'm sure you'll get year usage out of it and then replace it. But since the new ISIS V2 manifold has better clearance and thicker piping then it would be best to leave it unwrapped.

Thanks,

Why.. Weight out what's important to you and decide for yourself..

The Oil Return line is something I put together which is 10AN 90degre hose.

Except for the part where stainless and heat don't play nicely together. And wrapping it only keeps the heat in....

Doesn't mean every single one will be like that.
Plus. You stainless steel header is VERy VERY different from a stainless steel turbo manifold.
One sees way more extreme conditions than the other.

No one has to take my advice. Nor will my advice be correct in every situation.

I'm only giving my recommendations. Based on my experience with stainless steel. Since I work exclusively with stainless steel everyday.

Haven't updated this thread in awhile since I've decided to slow the build process for the KA24DE-T since this require more $$ and rather wrap up the smaller build so atleast I won't have 2 cars down. I'm currently finishing my basic KA24E-T Vert build which should be done soon since its summer after all. As it stand I made the final decision on the turbo selection. I ended up going for the H1C/HIE Hybrid Holset. I'm using the H1E Compressor housing and H1C 12cm Turbine housing shaft. After some measurements there wasnt a big difference on the turbine wheel size between the 2 turbos but significant on the compressor wheel. anyways below is the pic on the motor as it stands and a preview of the KA24E-T build as well.

Currently still debating on the Ignition system to used since they're all nice and just have to weight out the pros and cons. I have collected below and will be posting pics shortly..

Ignition Choices

Option 1 " Isuzu Coilpacks "
Pros: Fairly cheap and can produce a decent spark for high HP Application. Uses the same ignition timing and easier to wire.
Cons: Requires some fab work to be able to mount the coils to the Valve cover. Not a very clean look but otherwise work well.

Option 2 " CBR / AEM Coils "
Pros: Really clean look and simple wiring. Did I mention its cheap on eBay.
Cons: Wont be able to support the same HP as the other options but still within a good WHP limit.

Option 3 " LSx Coilpacks "
Pros: Cheap and widely used by most tuners. Will support some really good high HP application.
Cons: Require some more wiring work and fab work for remote mounting the coils.

Since they're all cheap I ended up picking up parts for all 3 till I finally decide which to go. Currently this is how I rate them.

- LSx / GM Coilpacks - Better
- Isuzu Coilpacks - Best
- CBR/Aem Coilpacks - Good

Thanks! Very possible and been done several times. Just not a very popular option since most will run standalone EMS at high hp application. I'll post some pics of the finished product by adding an Excessive Manufacturing cover on it.

FYI a rb25 tranny will bolt on with those 2 hole drilled ... but the shifter position is more forward ... we had to cut the tunnel abit and not run a shifter bezel on my friend car !!!

sweet KA...but why such high compression if Turbo?

High Comp + Big Turbo + Big Injectors + E85 + Competent Tuner = MF*FTW

so sexy hats off to you guys
your vc looks kinda like mine lol


I Can't paint for shit so Wrinkle Paint plus is what I have always used on all of my builds for awhile now.

I'm liking this thread! I can't wait to turbo my s14.

Do it..

Since your friend is using the regular RB25 tranny you will need to do exactly what you said. I'm using the VG30 rear which is internally the same but has a different shifter style. I will also be using shiter bracket relocation from Excessive Manufacturing..

p.s: just finished the rebuild (stock ka spec rebuild kit) and i want to know if it's safe to install turbo to non-forged internal engine. if it's safe, what kinda of turbo you'd recommend?

^asking the wrong questions

you should find out what type of driving you plan on doing, then select your turbo. Here I made a video that is going to scare you...

update-Turbo Math, and what helped me - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AasEZE3IK_w&context=C312d674ADOEgsToPDskKAIddGhArZwYfGEn6zagez )

I won't go into details, because honnestly.. I don't know everything, but the first thing I know is to take your time. Read lots, read more... then read a bunch more.. then ask a question.

I'll give you a tip. The easy way to achieve the HP goal you have in mind is to find someone that has done it, and has reliably kept the car running at that stage for a few years.... then copy the ish out of his build. Sure it will be un-original, but who are you trying to impress? yourself or a bunch of hellaflush/murdered out/2 fast 2 furous/ whatever fanboys that are raging on about.

note: if you wanted to turbo safely, you should have installed lower compression pistons, and anything over 300hp, you should have also installed aftermarket rods. I have crower, but many people have had success with Eagle.

I'm using a home made Poly Urethane mounts to sit the motor lower and I may even still need to uses hood spacers. From what I can tell that mounts should do it but we shall see. I'll post some pics later this evening for the mounts.

Currently still debating on the Ignition system to used since they're all nice and just have to weight out the pros and cons. I have collected below and will be posting pics shortly..

Ignition Choices

Option 1 " Isuzu Coilpacks "
Pros: Fairly cheap and can produce a decent spark for high HP Application. Uses the same ignition timing and easier to wire.
Cons: Requires some fab work to be able to mount the coils to the Valve cover. Not a very clean look but otherwise work well.

Option 2 " CBR / AEM Coils "
Pros: Really clean look and simple wiring. Did I mention its cheap on eBay.
Cons: Wont be able to support the same HP as the other options but still within a good WHP limit.

Option 3 " LSx Coilpacks "
Pros: Cheap and widely used by most tuners. Will support some really good high HP application.
Cons: Require some more wiring work and fab work for remote mounting the coils.

Since they're all cheap I ended up picking up parts for all 3 till I finally decide which to go. Currently this is how I rate them.

- LSx / GM Coilpacks - Better
- Isuzu Coilpacks - Best
- CBR/Aem Coilpacks - Good


Once you figure out which coils work out the best, please post back! I intend to run a hx35 on my dual cam with megasquirt and I plan to run a distributor-less setup like your doing.

Soo much win going on in this thread. Favorited, and looking forward for updates!

Looks real nice man! I'm just starting up my KA24DET build and i was told to stay away from isis. Im not sure how much you paid for the isis turbo manifold but megan makes a nice one for around 180$ but keep up the good work! :zombie:
