My KA-T just about finsihed

[UNISA JECS]

Well im just about done with my KA-T finally, just started it tonite still need to get a downpipe and minor other little things but it started right up and idles like a rock, i'll get better pics tommorrow during the day, BTW this was also a 5 speed convercion along with turbo.

thats some clean ish my freind, what turbo?

[murda-c]

clean as a whistle.

nice.

[Phatz]

Looks clean... If you don't mind me asking, how much did the conversion set you back?? just curious, as I have a KA in my 93 s13 and eventually want to convert it to turbo.

[PITCH]

Stealth. I like.

SR OEM piping? Sidemount? What #'s are you expecting? I may bite you style...

SR OEM piping? Sidemount? What #'s are you expecting? I may bite you style...

Yes (but slightly modified).

Yes.

Not sure on numbers but will see I may dybo its once everything is done to my liking.

I still need to by a Innovative LC-1, I also need to venture intune tunning and learn how to do it myself because im like that...lol

[ms!3]

damn it. one more person ahead of me. haha

i like your setup. thats basically all i want. basic ka-t w/sidemount.

stock FPR (no need for an adjustable one just yet)
stock S13 SMIC w/all piping
stock KA24DE ECU
stock pump at the moment (i'll change that out to a Z32 pump in a day or so)
I have a Apexi SAFCII but i need to reinstall it since I changed out my auto harness to a manual one
I have a Apexi AVCR same deal as above need to reinstall it since I changed the harness out.
I have a Apexi Turbo Timer same deal as above.
I have a Apexi GT Spec Exhaust however im not going to run it just yet.
I should be getting a Innovative LC-1 soon also.

I been using the SAFC since before most of you had your drivers license probably lol and I know from experience how to tune it although I know its not the greatest thing however for a T25 and 370cc it'll be fine, I plan on learning how to tune do my own ECU, now that this swap is out the way I can focus on that stuff.

[babowc]

Noice.
I'm building up the motor right now..
I can't wait to get to where you are!!

im liking these setups more and more lately...
using sr parts on a KA...

would be nice for a daily driver.

[sunnys14]

Wheres your timing control?

Don't expect to turn up the boost very high on that T25 and SMIC on a stock KA. It will go boom in no time if you do.

10psi is max on what you should run on a SMIC on a KA, trust me.

[NI_YON_Zenki]

Regarding the Dukes setup, IMHO, the reason he decided to run this particular setup was to 1/ use it as a daily driver 2/use it as a daily driver. and 3/ use it to push it around Beefed up cars that are referred to as "modified" something along the lines of this craze of KA-T's all of a sudden,Well around this forum. What no SR20/RB's coming around allowing efficient Californian (Daily Driven) development due too-(emissions, tagging-Cops or trying to find some mech-tech who'll touch it for less than the value of the chassis) I feel for all the mechs & tech's around the southern coast, but a convenient conversion completed like this kat's. .. .is fresh. its pure, and it is simple.
Ummm,yeah. I think this is why he chose the KA24T. His girl prolly loves it. Nuff Said.

GOod choice Duke.

Im not running any timing control dont really need it for my setup.

Trust me im no noob to turbo cars, did this before on a USDM spec SR20DE turbo'd back in ~2000-2001 and been driving turbo cars since then and never had one blow up on me (knock on wood) and I dont ever boost a T25 past 10psi ever, if I need more power i'll buy a bigger turbo and probably go 8:5.1 on the KA.

[norcal_black240]

I must say that is one clean ass engine bay. Anyways +1 for what sunnyS14 said. you might as well get some kind of timing control even for a low boost setup. Cost is minimal and it will only help you get more power and reliability. Tuned ecu's are cheap now and calum ecu's are really cheap for what you get.

[UNISA JECS]

You see this engine here lemme give you an example of what its been threw, daily driven all day everyday, seen redline all the time, but always taken care of with oil changes when oil gets dirty (I dont pay attention to milage but rather the oil condtion) timing was set at 17 and 19 degrees threw the years and only ran 92 and 91 octane, stock fuel pump, SAFCI Apex Turbo Timer, stock SR20DE ECU.

To top it off this car ran @ 10psi all of its life (its still alive and kicking today in my friends B13) and to make matters worst it had a TMIC with no airflow over the intercooler, absoluetly nothing to cool the charge so in effect it was a interheater. I ran this engine close to 3 years that way and my friend still runs it that way but have since like a year ago went FMIC.

That engine is still rockin today probably has well over 120,000 miles on it from the time I purchsed it back in 1999 but didn;t actually put it into my B13 till a few years later.

See what a little luv can do and not half assing shit.

This pics is about 2 years after the fact of it being turbo'd
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u159/zilvia_album/f7be9aeb21_jpg_orig.jpg

[UNISA JECS]

I only say this because us FWD guys done this many times and those USDM SR20DE also had 9:5.1 compression and no oil coolers like the KA24DE has stock and i've seen them and owned one that ran a TMIC @ 10psi and never blew up, I know the KA24DE isn't a SR20DE but if a SR20DE can be put threw that kinda abuse im sure a KA24DE can handle a little T25 and 370cc setup all day "done right". Im still a believer that many of the KA24DE(T) done that have blown up were just done poorly to say the least.

[UNISA JECS]

and if my shit blows up you all will be the first to know....lol this is really just a tester for me what I really want to do is build a KA with 8:5.1 and thats it only for added peace of mind and the ability to run a larger turbo without worries.

[2iv0 sx]

Internals are completely stock? No rebuild or anything?

So inspiring!

Clean build man. All that bead blasting/paint was well worth it!

[mojos13]

SWEEEEET!...that's exactly the way I want to do my 95'SE, the only thing is, i'm automatic and wanna keep it that way. call me stupid but it's my

details of your set-up....good luck!

Wow, i like the neg rep comment that one of u guys left me... I left you some advice and you guys took it the wrong way.
"nice magazine quotes bench racer, shut the fuck up"

Since when did I call you a noob? How am I a bench racer? I've been building Ka-t setups for over 5 years and im just letting you know what happens when you boost 10psi a t25 on a SMIC on 91 octane.

For my first I ran a t3/t4 at 7psi with 4 degrees base timing with a FMIC on 91 octane and it didn't hold up to the California summer heat at all.

[UNISA JECS]

Wow Unisa Jecs, i like your neg rep comment that you left me..

Added some more pics of the heat shield I just fabbed up took about 45minuts to do but still not finsihed all the way.

[UNISA JECS]

Just a little update, the car feels awesome deffinantly a keeper...lol but I got a bad tranny, it shifts fine and all but whines I already know what it is but i'll either rebuild it or swap in a good one.

[longdy]

that heat shield is very creative!!... nice build man can't wait to see more updates!!

[UNISA JECS]

Well I got bad news my oil pump is failing, so it looks like imma be rebuilding this thing, but it sures does feel awesome, and yes I did put a new Nissan oil pump in BTW, but from what I gather probably my main bearing and connecting rod bearing are probably worn casuing the little to no oil pressure.

Believe it or not the engine has ~250,xxx miles on it, and it does not smoke nor does it have bad compression, just recently when I start the car it has no oil pressure and sometimes it will, this sucks but oh well, im convienced however of the potential of the KA-T that for sure, what tipped me off to the problem was a noisey valve train and no oil when I removed the oil cap and then spuractically it would come on and all noise would stop and also when I changed the oil I had a nice little gold flakes in the oil, not chunks or anything but super fine gold/bronzish dust so to speak.

[LA_phantom_240]

woooooooow.... Nice heat shield... nice work in general in fact!

[UNISA JECS]

Update:

The oil pressure problem was do to a broken timing chain guide (the big long one on the right side broke into many piece's) im sure this is what caused the sporactic oil pressure problems.

Awesomely clean build up. The sleeper setup is the best especially here in Socal. That was our focus on my buddy's KA-T setup. I'll toss up pics, eventually.

FYI about oil pressures. Maybe I overlooked the info but I didn't see any mention of an oil feed restrictor for your T25. Many have argued that you don't need a restrictor with -3an lines but without the oil restrictor overall oil pressure can drop down to 10+ psi below OEM spec. Where's my substantiation? Both my buddy and I experienced this but never ran into any issues because we caught this before it was too late. We're both running oil pressure gauges (Greddy electric warning). We religiously monitor our oil pressures and temps.

Oil pressure @ 3,000rpm should be at least 4.2 kg/cm2 per manufacture spec (roughly around 60psi).

Oil pressure w/no turbo
15-50 Mobil 1 - Socal summer temps from 75-85 degrees
Oil pressure @ 3,000rpm measured 4.0 - 4.2 kg/cm2


Oil pressure w/turbo no restrictor:
T/25 has -3an lines
T04B has -4an lines
15-50 Mobil 1 - Socal summer temps from 75-85 degrees
Oil pressure @ 3,000rpm measured 3.3 - 3.5 kg/cm2


Oil pressure w/turbo AND restrictor:
T/25 has -3an lines and JGS - 0.05'' restrictor
T04B has -4an lines and Function 7 - 0.06'' (1.6mm) restrictor

Just wanted to chime in since there's quite a bit of interest towards folks considering a KA-T setup. He's logged in more than 40k miles on a 120k motor with track time, and I stopped counting miles and started counting years...4 with track time.

I know you mentioned your timing chain guide was the culprit to your motors demise. Hopefully you get all squared away and back up and running soon, Happy Tuning!

have fun for the couple of months to a year that it'll last. KA's just dont last...and on 10lbs your just dropping the life of the motor. I ran a 13 @ 106 on drag radials on my old t25 hatch with tuned ecu, sr 370's, fmic spiking at 10.6lbs. Now i have a modded SR running low 12's...

eh its not too fast on 6, it just depends if you have the mental power not to raise it. i didnt lol

[dirtdiggler666]

stock ka's are not bad with boost

its just people use a safc and

the engines got about 150k to 200k to start with

[undercoverdjay]

Yeah my old KA-T setup was great
T25
XO2racing.com bottom mount manifold
FMIC
SAFC
11lbs fidanza
SPEC Clutch
SR 3inch DP

My setup ran GREAT, however a T25 is quite a bottle neck in the upper rev band. I found the car started to fall flat around 5,500 RPM. A GT28RS on a healthy engine and a PDMracing.com tuned ECU and BPUs will net you 300whp without a problem.

[JohnJohn86]

Nice and Clean. Exactly what I want. Do you think you can do my car?
pm me how much

[eclipse_dsm]

Key thing about KA-T is tuning. I have been running t25 from 8~11 psi for a year and personally that snail is too small for a KA. I now have a T28 and still somewhat small but at least it doesn't choke on the top end.

[UNISA JECS]

Yea diffenantly the T25 is much to small for the KA24DE.

[UNISA JECS]

Just thought i'd bump this and report that the KA-T is still running strong as ever and gets good gas milage, gotta love NISTUNE, been up towards Sacramento and back (~770 miles round trip for me) atleast 20 times since turbo'ing my KA.

[SilviaSR20DET]

Dang great news then, congrats! Is this the same tune that your using, the one you posted on the nistune thread awhile ago? Any changes to the bin?

nice build maaan. im planning on doing that to my car too. just until i have money for my sr swap. can you tell me what you did exactly? could use your help haha. did you tap your oil pan at all? and where did you tune your safc? lmk thanks.

if you actually read, he is not using SAFC, hes using nistune and tuned it himself. reading comprehension PWNS you

The fuel pressure is that high because im running a Q45 fuel pump same will happen if you run a Z32 TT fuel pump dont wanna go into details of why it runs this high but the short of it is because the S13 doesn't have a Fuel pressure control module on board like those to mentioned chassis above do, teh FPCM regulates the voltage to the pump down around the neighborhood of 10 volts which greatly affect the output of the fuel pump and idle and low cruise conditions and also extend pump life gretaly to.

The valve cover is not anodized I painted it myself with a product called POR20 Brilliant Aluminum.
