[95s14Zinki]

ok im doing ka24de-t in my s14

t3t4 turbo

front mount

255 pump

stock injectors or should i do the 370 sr injectors ?

and i know im going to have to do a tune....

im thinking of running 7 or 8 pounds of boost

STOCK INTERNAL KA 24de

Heard You Can Push 300-350 Hp On Stock Internals? Is This True?

My Compression on the motor rite now is in the 170's


just wana get some ideas /suggestions from some ppl before i go and do it


dont say go sr please lol i already thought of that but i dont wana get ref'd i live in valencia cali and they are dicks out here sr is ez ref.... ka i can get away with it


of if u have any ideas of what way i should take my ka build

be helpful :)

you'll need at least 370s, as they are good only to about 10lbs. The engine (block, crank and head) are all good for all the hp you need. Old engines will need bearings and rings. Your 170 sounds high... high compression and turbos don't mix very well. you actually want a little less compression to handle the boost. I ran 274 hp on a Greddy kit with 8 lbs boost, 370s, 3 in exhaust, etc until my rings blew out.

Uhh guy above is kind of right about most things......

either way, for your goals of running 7-8 psi, stock injectors will max out before that so you will need to upgrade

With that upgrade you need to get a serious tune, you can do the SAFC thing but will probably eventually blow due to not being able to tune timing

But it all comes down to how much money you have and are willing to spend

That said, you should do somewhat of a rebuild on the motor, replacing seals, checking clearances, etc. Or just dump it on and see how long it lasts. :)

370s are at about their limit around 260whp which depending which t3/t4 turbo you're running could easily max out those injectors. I'd go with something bigger if i was you. At that horsepower level, you should also be looking into another MAF. Compression numbers and compression ratio don't directly relate to each other as so many varibles can affect cylinder pressure. Your compression numbers at 170 just means it's running well. You can push 500whp out of a stock block if you wanted to, it's all in how well the engine is tuned. Thing is the higher the power the less reliable it's going to be. While one could push that 350-400whp on a stock block, they're just not gonna know when it's gonna blow up. The things you should looking into getting for having a decently reliable engine is at least bigger injectors, MAF, and a tune along with everything you plan to buy.

im not looking for alot of hp... i only want about 250- 300 i just wana have a lil pick up n go.... along with being semi reliable

i was gona do 370 sr injectors tune fuel pump and then throw it on

yea the compression is suppost to b good from 160-180? on a ka rite?

but this input is good thanks guys still looking for some more imput if possible

Check for good compression.

Go with 370cc or bigger injectors.

Should be a good setup.

mkay cool.... yea i have done some research and i know what i need to do i just wana see if theres any suggestions ppl have learned from trial and error

GET A GOOD TUNE (SAFC is not good enough for that)

ill take this into considderation... i do plan on getting a tuned ecu for what i got... unfortunately ill b paying alot lol
