No, wait to put everything on until you have all the parts. And why the hell are you getting an AEM when you're using a FMU and a bunch of other cheap crap?

Get rid of the FMU. Buy bigger injectors, like the 370cc's from SR's. Buy a AEM if you want, nothing wrong with them. You have other cheaper options too.

Go to KA-T.org - The Home of 1000+ whp/7 sec Turbo KA's (http://www.ka-t.org) and check it out.

interesting.

Another perfect example of why the KA has such a bad rep being a turbo motor..... If people boosted these motors the right way, we wouldnt hear so many bad things about them being boosted!

FYI, doing shit the right way the first time ALWAYS saves money....

Why don't you have a choice? Do you have to turbo the car? Who's holding a gun to your head? Sounds like you want to turbo it, which is fine, but you obviously have no clue what you're doing. Going ahead with your plan will net you more downtime after you damage the engine with a janky setup. An FMU is only go to about 5psi anyway and is a shitty ass way to provide fuel.

And why did you buy a T25 if you planned on a GT28R later? Why buy shit twice? Saving the money the first time would net you the parts you want. That makes no sense.

Leave the car alone. Buy the correct parts, including injectors and some form of management, then turbo it.

There is a ton of well versed, detailed information if you actually bother to research. Getting an itch for speed is no excuse for being a moron.

This thread hurts me.

Just keep the stock motor sell EVERYTHING you just bought.

[s13shifter]

Thanks guys for the heads upp
I'm selling a 240 soo with that money I'm going to be getting the aem and fuel injectors and redo
My fuel management.
I got a bunch of parts to be sold so hopefully ill make the money off that and upgrade my turbo
Thx

[s13shifter]

With the aem setup
Wats the most I will be able to boost and
What are hp ranges with out blowing the motor with stock internals and a good tune

[kandyflip445]

Depends on a few things. Turbo size, injectors, how good your tune is... you really should do some research into turbos and particularly the ka-t side of things before you dive in.

Most people agree that for the street and with a good tune, on a stock block the piston ring lands usually go around the 300-350whp mark. Though there have been a few that have gone WELL above that with good tuning. After that the rods usually bend around the 400-450whp mark IIRC.
