Well, *hopefully* I'll be picking up a S14 within the next few months as my daily driver to replace my beloved Saturn which is falling apart more and more everyday.
First off, I have no real intentions on heavily modding the current motor in the car I purchase. I was considering perhaps a WAI (aka noisemaker) for a little added kick. However if I get that dire need for more speed I'll probably purchase an NX 75 shot wet-kit. How well would the KA handle with such a shot? I did a search and most of the posts were pretty vague on the KA's handling capabilities without any added fuel and whatnot.
Now... as for my project... I have a bit of a hard choice.
I can either pick up a second KA24DE, rebuild it for light boost, hell maybe even heavy boost or I am going to pick up my friends 84 Fiero and swap in an LS1 which will be quite costly, BUT, not much more expensive than building ANY motor for high boost.
Assuming I go with the KA project, I first ask are there any forums dedicated to KA-T's that actually have MEMBERS posting on the forums. I'm a bit curious as to how well the KA takes to low boost, high boost, fuel and timing issues, PCM issues etc etc.
I have been told that the KA internals are good for about 300HP, but then I've read elsewhere that it's only good for 7psi. I'd really like to clear up my confusion.
If anyone here can help answer these questions I'd REALLY appreciate it, from I've read this board seems more geared toward the SR20DE-T just like most other 240SX forums.
Hopefully I'll have my S14 soon, it's taking a while to sell of all my parts on my current car.
