[SR20DETlover]

i was wondering what the max horsepower you can get out of the stock KA engine?

[ca18guy]

Max HP out of a stock KA24DE would be 155HP &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>

All you will get is peoples guess's. &nbsp;With enough $$$ anything is really possible. &nbsp;Most I can think of is Duy's cars, I think it had 550rwhp or was it flywheelHP, i'm not sure.

DSC, it was 600+ at the flywheel.

With max bolt ons, new camshafts, higher compression and JWT ecu, I think your good for almost 200HP.

There's a company called paeco.com, there website suck but if you order the catalog they show everythign they do, and one of the things is rebuilt upgraded motors, the engines go in stages,
stage 1 for the ka has 160 hp
stage 2 for the ka has 232 hp
stage 3 for the ka has 268 hp
stage 4 for the ka has 298 hp

They say stage 3-4 are not streetable, but eh .. whatever.. i think the guy told me that stage 4 takes race gas and it will need tune ups almost one every 2 weeks, The motors are high rev engine, i think tthe paeco guy told me up to 10-11 rpm.. There sell everything for Nitrious shots for out cars, to roll bars. Everything motor piece they will have..

Trying to make a under square motor like the KA rev to 11K would take a whole lot of work and even more $$$.

I don't think that even Sunbelt's KA's rev that high.

If you want lots of power out of a NA 4 banger you must have A. Deep pockets, B. a spare car. But I think this applies to any highly modified car.

I think that going turbo in the form of a KA-T or SR is the most practical means of gaining significant power.

270-300hp NA really isn't going to be streetable, I believe it.

whats the point in stage 1? thats only 5 more horses that stock.

that 160 is at the wheels. stock ka's dont have 155 at the wheels, only at the flywheel. it is a good 30-35hp at the wheels increase over stock, which is a decent increase in power.

[Jeff240sx]

Stock internal KA motors have been to 350 and 360rwhp daily.
Just add a turbo and gas.

I just orderd one of those catologs, it sounds cool, i would love a KA that revs to 11 with 270HP, mmmm

[s13fastback]

man, i wonder how long a KA would run at 10-11k, thats like a spoon engine ....

[Zemus]

jw but are those stage engine ka24e or ka24de?
