Another S14 KA-T build

[mnofal225]

Like the title said. i will be making a KA-t build. I have been debating and deciding whether to go sr or try ka-t. But af ter being in my friends sr s13 then riding in my other friends ka-t, i immediately fell in love with the ka. this will be my first time swapping engines so it will be an awesome experience. I recently purchased my second 240 after selling my nissan 300zx which was amazing :drool: but i missed going sideways so bye to the z and hello to the 240.

It is an authentic 1997 kouki base model which is 5 speed from the factory, no sunroof, and no abs which is exactly what i wanted. The car is NA but literally has every single mod u can do to this engine except turbo. 248 cams intake and exhaust, eagle rods, wiseco pistons, 3 way port and polish head and intake mani, headers, ACT stage 3 clutch, walboro 255 fuel pump, 1 piece aluminum drive shaft, and alot more stuff just cant remember. the previous owner had it for 14 years and did drag racing.

so now gonna make it drift but i really wanna use the parts on that engine already and put a turbo on it. but first gonna build up the suspension then wheels exhaust then turbo the engine. so this will be kinda slow build because money will be kind of an issue but not a major one. the main thing im worried about is that i wanna build my car up the right way.

my brother took this picture last night. said it was an "action shot" he is just as obsessed about my car as i am but he is 11. so let me know what i should do and let me know what you guys think of my car. i am also new to this forum.

I like the start. Good job un-ricing it so far.

^ I agree, looks like it has some potential. Hope it's not too big of a mess to fix up though

Interesting to see a ka build on here.
Best of luck

so far so good dude!!

I suggest some PBM or Fortune auto coilovers. Go low, and quality built to handle track days with ease
