very nice man, that engine bay is one of the cleanest i have ever seen, is that the KA24DE(T)?

[Zemus]

get a clear hood, that would look so nice man, oooo

[TEIN240]

Looking good!!!  Which front end is that?

later,

[tnord]

well, i'm not a fan of big bumpers like that, but it does need to be painted regardless. but i'm sure you like it so it really doesn't matter. my main suggestion is get that heater hose or whatever it is you have running from the turbo to the intercooler replaced. no need to polish it er anything, just some basic mandrel bent aluminum piping would do. but hey, at least you got a turbo right?

My guess would be omega.

damn those clear hoods are pricey <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

Nice car. I'm thinking of turboing my own KA. Prolly will get stage 1 somewhere this year if the money allows. Whom did you get your turbo kit from?

[dt89s13]

Very nice Boosted! Very clean engine bay. It looks great. Have you rescheduled the race with the Viper?

[boosteds14]

yes, i have a date, two fridays from this week

tnord.-in person the bumper is small and not big at all, same size as stock, the sides stick out but i am fixing it. and that hose is from the blow-off valve. it has to be flexi hose because of the vibration.

the bumper is off an omega, like the r33 and it is getting painted next week

i have a carbon fiber hood so no need for a clear one

AND YES IT IS A FULLY BUILT KA-T DONE BY MYSELF AND I AM PUSHING AROUND 380-420whp at 25psi
and alot more when i spray it

[BadMoJo]

Nice! Make sure you have someone take some video of that viper race. lookin' good so far though. keep up the good work. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

[Grumpy]

Very Nice....... &nbsp;One of the cleanest turbo KA I have seen.

I really like the "RAG" over the MAF... &nbsp;hehehehehe &nbsp;

Post some more pics when you get it painted..........

beautiful engine bay, 400 whp huh? how much did all the work run you?

[boosteds14]

YES 400whp
i did all the work myself execpt the machine work, boring put port and polish, etc. but i put it all together (from valves to pistons.)
i have every receipt from every part and the grand total for the motor is
$10,623.83

its alot, i kinda got carried away. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
i have yet to dyno the car, but i have every thing done as Chris May's 240sx and he dynoed at 438whp @ 22psi, I am running 25psi and nos so i believe 400 is atleast given

[sykikchimp]

Have you done anything to the rest of the car? &nbsp;lets get some pics of the rest of her.

Nice work on the engine. &nbsp;Is she a bear to drive? &nbsp;how are her street manners?

Get the Bumper painted, and get thatsticking out fixed, and she'll be gorgeous! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[boosteds14]

yes i have other pictures on my webpage
My Webpage (http://boosteds14.tripod.com/1997nissan240sxturbo)
the bumper will be painted soon. i also did the interior and trunk.
still on stock wheels but i got slicks for the track. it is alright on the road, definitly not a daily driver, idle is rough and gas mileage using boost is horrible.
i am putting in a bigger turbo(t60-1 hifi) soon so i will be making stronger topend power and awesome midrange. but of course it will bring more lag. this turbo is for sale and it spools at 2800rpms

[boosteds14]

not to mention stock suspension.
i will be doing some setup this summer or fall. right now i need to pay off my credit cards. &nbsp;
after that suspension, wheels, and a roll cage

i was gonna say, that's an awfully odd and ineffecient intake tract. i take it that's a recirculating bov then? and for curiosities sake, what causes the vibration? the rapid pressure buildup from the bov?

[boosteds14]

vibration--well it is hard to explain but i will try.
since there is a sturdy pipe from the compressor to the intercooler, movement is to a minimum, the blow off valve piping can not be to fixed because it will act as a brace and will cause for alot a stress on the connectors. if i move the direction of the bov, then i problably can use a hard pipe.

[BlackS14]

Very nice car indeed my friend.....I'd love to hear some solid numbers when you finally get to dyno the car...and some 1/4 mile times as well.

....gosh I can't wait to do my rebuild.....*sigh*

-Bill

..forgot to ask..what manifold is that..F-Max?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

[nrcooled]

The ride is looking sweet! I can't wait to put a kit on mine.
Good luck with the Viper. &nbsp;

How is the reliability with 25psi?

[boosteds14]

it is an fmax manifold, and at 25psi, i dont know if it is reliable, i guess so i built the motor to withstand it

[uuninja]

Wow that bay looks just like mine sans the valve cover and add a little extra dirt and grime <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Looks liek you got the intercooler thing worked out. Cris emailed me a few weeks back with questions about my inter cooler. I am guessing that you are the same guy that the questions were for.

Well congrats on the turbo and have fun!

[Broadwayblues]

I am willing to trade you my 92 coupe for your car. it completely stock. let me know if you are interested.... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> you have all the practice you need now.be quicker/easier!

ewwwww.

I like the idea of lexan hood, but paint it, the thing looks ugly as hell in person.

I also know the owner of that eclipse, Joe. &nbsp;he's a scam artist. I hate that guy, and the fact that his car is the biggest rice machine I've seen.

[bing]

awesome car man, your only 19<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?

how are you doing all that, your family must have crazy loot &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

you go to school???

i can only dream of owning such a high maintenance vehicle...

i would also like to see you woop the viper

[boosteds14]

uuninja

u got pics of your engine???

[XylathaneGTR]

omfg!
That is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice dude...very clean engine!
props to yah dude...nice job nice job
That intercooler looks so...dominating. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
looks similar to Skyline Bumber.
anyways...i think im in &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> &nbsp;with your car.

[boosteds14]

bing-my friends dont believe me either but when they meet my parents, then they believe me.
my parents are totally against it, they want me to sell.
i work full time and i go to school at night. and me living with my parents is awesome because i have no rent or shit like that, just insurance and credit card bills.

[XylathaneGTR]

wow...Your only 19?
I woulda thought your at least like...24 dude...having a car like that.
If they somehow force u to sell...let me know...and in 2 months i can make payments on it (when i gets job... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> )

[boosteds14]

the bumper is a vis racing r33 bumper (omega)
the intercooler is alright. i want to get a bigger one.
but what is most impressing to me that no one picks up on is that i did all the work myself, i had the machineing of the head and block done by a proffesional but as for everything else i did myself. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[boosteds14]

and to add---
i will have more pics this weekend <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

[XylathaneGTR]

Wow...You did that all that yourself? im impressed.
Nice job...What do you do for a living...if i can ask.
You should work at a speed shop or something.

[boosteds14]

i have two jobs, one is 9-3 monday-friday working in a cubical purchasing products for this company and 3-5 and 9-7 on saturdays i work at an import store selling parts that i own.

[Kreator]

[boosteds14]

[mbmbmb23]

Nice car, I like the polished valve cover.....looks sharp. &nbsp;The bumper will look sweet once you paint it.

(lets see some pics from the side....what kinda rims do you have??)

arnt you tired as fack by the end of the day tho? like...damn...
All that and then nightschool? bah

[2xsess]

Looks sweet. Can't wait to see it with the bumper painted. Very impressive that you managed it all by yourself, along with working 2 jobs.
How did you get your valve cover lookin like that?

[mrfly]

All I can say is that it is beautiful. I wish that we could drive it too though &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> Now all I need is time and money (don't we all though) and I will be on my way.

[misnomer]

I'm not a fan of the bumper (even painted), but hey, nobody's perfect. Big fan of the specs, nice looking bay dood.

It could use a hood.

Keep it up, you may approach Duy's ex-car <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[boosteds14]

ok, more pics will be up either monday or tuesday.
and to answer a question- yes, i still have the stock rims and i will be rocking those for awhile, i kinda like them.

to keep u guys updated with the viper race--today he came over my house to take a look at the car and i took him for a spin. well i decided to play with the boost controller. i got 589miles on the motor so i thought it was broken in enough. well yes it was. OMG-- first i was just boosting at 6.5psi with the boost controller off. turned it on and set it to hit 14psi, wow what a difference. but i wasnt through. i used the high mode on the boost controller and tuned it for 24psi.
i never expereinced anything so violent. i was in third gear and it pulled. then shifted into 4th and i was gone. the dude(viper guy) said he couldnt believe it. &nbsp;
so i was very glad today's test and tune went very well and i am confident that i will kick viper ass.

[guidot]

Nice car dude...You go to QU huh? &nbsp;My g/f goes there, small world isn't it? &nbsp;Someday when I'm down I want a ride!! &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I'm still suprised that your 19, I'm probably a few months younger than you and my car is completely stock. Working two jobs and night school must be crazy, how do you find time to work on your car??

I can see why your parents want you to sell it, I think its kinda messed up.......unless the car is registered under there name.

If only I could be focused and determined, maybe I can have a phat ride like yours. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

But I probably will when I'm 22 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>

How many cars do you have?

Seems like your family is loaded or atleast very well off. &nbsp;Also seems like you know how to manage money.....i think its the whole finance major that made me think about that.
