[jjmr2]

can you build a ka24 na that can put down some power i have never like dealing with turbos mostly because i have had bad luck with them.after hitting the track friday at irwindale i notice my s14 is to heavy and even if the engine is healthy i could use some more power the engine is stock all it has i a intake and exoust , but i was thinking of chainging cams but dont know wich ones or what can i do to feel more power with out having to go sr20 or ka-t

You can use the search button to find out.

Or maybe this crazy new thing called Google.

People have tried NA KAs but never really got too much power out of them.

Big displacement/forced induction or go home.

School me on this new thing you call Google, it sounds interesting :l101:

Just build the block and put a turbo kit on there.

Building a NA KA won't net you nearly as much horsepower as a turbo KA. If you've had bad experiences with turbo's I'd chalk that one up to human error rather then mechanical failure. Do some research as mentioned by the po-man.

^ yup.... learn how to build engines with turbos... people do it well all the time.

This thread is just filled with so much win. :bowrofl: Did you even attempt to do any type of search, before posting this?

Get some headers.
My NA KA has bolt-ons and Im putting down close to 300 wheel horsepower. On pump gas.


And by close to 300 I mean like 130ish.

Oh, and I forgot. If you want to get as much power out of your KA as possible, here are 2 things you absolutely can't forget:

1. Make sure your headlight fluid, is filled to max capacity.
2. Check your muffler bearings. Bad ones will rob mad horsepower.

Laziness doesn't get any rewards here.
