If that's true, then why are you even asking this question? :down:
You will have balls to back it up. You'll be making around 220-240hp with 5-6psi.

Umm, how about you just don't talk shit, then your car doesn't have to back up anything. This seems like a really stupid question to me. Just build your car, and go race it if you want to race it. There will ALWAYS be a faster car out there, somewhere.

sounds like you'll be pushing roughly 240-250hp? i'm no expert but i think thats the general range for a mild ka-t w/ that turbo... i think
s2000 run about the same as a mildly modded sr. i'd say kat would take it out.

Sounds like you need to invest some of your time into an english teacher as well.
Also, it sounds like you need to consult the dudes at KA-T.com to see if any of them are running a set up similar to yours.

5-6psi will be more like 200-220 wheel hp
yeah, i'm assuming he's running the Greddy kit...that kit is weak :-\
If you're gonna do KA-T go w/ a T3/T4...300whp w/ low boost and some mild tuning :-D

that wouldnt be any fun though.
KA-T needs to be in a car to beat anything, a motor alone is worthless.

ive seen a ka-t beat a mod'd supra at the black 1320
Go to Ka-t.org, you will find the answers to any questions reguaring ka-t

Hey lets not get carried away now. Some LeBarons came turbo believe it or not. Besides, they are very rare and the girls drop their panties when you roll up. Why else would millionaire Tom Green get one.

race every car possible and make a list of the ones you win and lose to! and the durability/reliability of your motor.. this will help determine whether i should go KA-T or SR!

if you plan on beating anything w/a ka-t best bet would be to put it on an engine dolly and use it like a battering ram its way too heavy to pick up and throw

ppl talk about ka like they are garbage... honestly.. whats so good about sr's? with the same amount of money you put into "swaping" a stock japanese engine in to your car, you can build up a KA anyday.. my friend has a KA with not even too much mods and it kills any srs... the fact that the torque a ka producess is enough to make up the weight difference... just tired of people acting all JDM... by the end of the day.. its just a stock engine with stock turbo and everything... it still only produces 205 hp and guess what? If it blows... youll need to spend your hard earned money on another one of those... where as a KA is up for grabs everywhere for around 200$ and you can start over again...

Proper speeling and sentence structure works wonders. Gave me a headache from reading this, and I already had taken an aspirin. BTW a to4e is like a supra sized turbo. I think its rated to like 400-500hp. You will have lag like a bitch, on yeah. By that time, the S2K will have beaten you. If this a drag race, and a competent driver.

If you do decide to race I hope you do this on a closed track street racing Kills! it also attracts unwanted attention towards 240 owners (FIVE-O). If you have a lot of seat time with auto-x why would you want to compete going straight? You are wasting your money, unless you tell him to compete against you in auto-x.

You tried to discredit another person's speeling or sentence structure?
Misspelled words, sentence fragments, and run-on sentences are the suck.

Yeah, but lots of KA-T guys use that turbo. Most people are reporting 7-8 psi by 3000-3500 rpm with that turbo! I have that turbo on my KA, I will let you know as soon as its running.....
Back to the topic: S2000 vs. S13? S14? Doesn't really matter. The basic chassis is more than 15 years old. Its hard for older cars to keep up with newer cars. Its the whole package. An average Joe's "sport coupe" modified vs. a car engineered to go fast from the factory. I am assuming that this is a time trial of some sort and not a drag race.

I don't do "stoplight" racing because then I'd be one of "those" guys. IMO, they're not serious if they don't have any track time, so why even worry about what they think?

You suck at english. Why don't you pipe down for awhile and finish your ka-t project, not talk shit but race him anyway and find out what the outcome is for yourself.

and not to hate, but that is proper sentence structure? i hate when people say, "the hotness" and "the sex" but whatevers, speak how you wanna speak. its the internet. ahah.

you sir, are a dumbass. We are not flaming him for asking about his turbo KA.. (if it exists).. we are flaming him for asking a stupid question that we can't really and don't really want to answer. If the thread starter sucks at driving for example.. HIS ka-t can't beat much... this is not a forum for childish questions like "Hey, is my car faster than this?" No one can accurately tell him. Especially if the kit is home-made. Who knows if he even has good compression, or is firing on all cylinders..
KAs aren't garbage, but useless threads like this are.

You hate "the hotness" and "the sex" but you use "whatevers"?
My sentences were properly constructed, conveyed clearly my thoughts and intentions, and were capitalized and spelled correctly. As well, you almost "got" the subtle irony.
There are too many 19-22 year olds on this forum who think they know everything.

I only brought it up because you were bashing on someone because of his sentence structure. When at the same time you were doing the same. I honestly do not care whether my sentence structure or spelling is correct or not but obviously you do. So dont complain when someone has "bad" sentence structure or misspelled words. Who cares...
Im sure when you talk to someone in a conversation in person, your sentences are not proper english as does anyone else on this board.
Go to a different forum if you dont like it here. No one thinks they know everything, but I guess you do because youre over 22 yrs old and everyone under 22 doesnt know shit. But whatever man, take it how you want.
Thread should be locked soon because of everyone going off topic.

This is freaking awesome!
KA-Ts are pretty fast, but again, always someone faster. KA-T guys normally use T3/4s, and smaller, and this is the smallfry group of us, the ones that aren't super into power and that goodness. If you wanna kill anyone, get a McLaren. Or a bike.
Try this, SOHC KA-T in a 280. Or LS1!
