OEM SR Manifold w/ KA Flanges
Going sleeper ka-t and would like to keep everything as stock looking as possible.
If anyone has an oem sr20det manifold for a t25 with ka24de flanges welded to it, please send me a pm. OEM heat shield would be nice to have, but not necessary. Thanks, Aaron |

Never seen this...and I doubt it would be worth the work
ONly thing I have seen with the SR mani on the KA is making it a top mount and drilling out holes...again alot of costly custom work when you can just buy aftermarket mani for $100...and how would you have a sleeper turbo car..there is the BOV sound and not to mention the huge FMIC..and then if you poped the hood what about all the extra piping your going to have...sorry man hate to kill your dream on this. |

Its been done before. Theres a thread on this forum with a bunch of pics. He probably wouldnt have an fmic if he'd be going for a sleeper look and obviosuly the side mount setup maybe keeping the stock bov too.

A shop is recommending a cheap piece of shit ebay/china manifold for a build? The fuck....
Anyways, here's the thread over on KA-T.org: www.ka-t.org :: View topic - A KA24DE-T'ers california dream manifold And on a side note, since when has the majority of members on zilvia cared about drag racing? |

Better idea. Get a log style manifold, like the jgs one, then just put an oem heat shield over it.

Pop the hood, there's ways to make it look stock, but not look stock to a Nissan guy that knows a KA is an NA motor. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2 |

If I cared about that I wouldn't be building a t25 set up on a stock motor and would be investing in something more. I don't drag race as I find it pointless. People in my area do mountain driving, not drag racing. I'm doing a simple stock looking set up cause it'll be enough to keep me satisfied since I'm still finishing classes for my degree and I have to pay outta pocket so it takes majority of my funds. Plus my area is full of nothing but honda kids. I've already had some ask me if my motor was an SR when it's clearly a KA. |

Unless you weld and fabricate yourself getting I/C piping, down piping fabbed up is not going to be cheap as nobody makes a bolt on deal for the KA with t25 / SR manifold...All I am saying is your trying to save money the wrong way here...You can do things on the cheap but you get what you pay for...I just dont get the whole sleeper thing ...I think everyone has seen the F&F videos by now LMAO.......J/K

With a stock SR manifold, O2 housing and a extended downpipe it all bolts up, not to mention S13sr front mount and side mount piping will bolt up to a KA. |

I've actually installed a sr t25 set up on a friend's S13 so I know all about needing the downpipe extended, but I have no clue where you get I need i/c piping fabbed. I've stated I'm doing a sleeper look, and a S13 smic set up fits perfectly. An aftermarket manifold does come darn close to the brake lines, which is why a shield should be fabbed. However, if you look at those that do the stock sr manifold w/ka flanges mod, the manifold perfectly clears the brake lines and lets you use the stock sr heat shield. The stock elbow cleared just fine, but an aftermarket elbow had about a paper thin clearance. I mean if it's that big of a deal I'll just get my friend's megan manifold he used since he isn't using it anymore, buy new gaskets and studs/nuts , fab up a shield for the brake lines and just use that instead. I just like the look of a stock-ish set up personally, especially since it'll never go past 7-8psi. |

actually it's pretty easy to do if you're experienced and know what you're doing and i offer the service, having done them for another member who is very happy.

So for 150 dollars you get a OEM cast manifold or for 100 you can get ebay/china junk. JDS Performance, don't take this to heart but I don't know if there are multiple people posting from your account but this thread is making it seem like you guys have the mechanical skill set of a novice. Suggesting going with a ebay manifold, talking about drag racing and generally have no clue about a very common KA-T setup. I mean you guys are plastering all over zilvia that you offer quality OEM turbo rebuilds and other services but yet you guys post garbage replies like the above posts. Either tell these kids to get off your zilvia account or I'm genuinely afraid for your customers. |

Again take it as you will your obviously reading wrong.
And as for a basic turbo setup this if not one...this is the cheap waste of time way that will be redone in a fee months if it even makes it to completion. As for the side mount your right I am novice as I have never and will never do one...yet another waste of time and money. As for me and my endeavors..we do great and have very happy customers. But who am I to talk and what do I know I have only be doing it for the past ten years |

I will go ahead and be the man I am and say sorry for this getting out of hand. My intentions were good with a little razzing for the whole "sleeper" deal.
Was just trying to say (in aparently the wrong way) do it right the first time.. Sorry again... enjoy your turboing... |

If I were building a ka-t basic Turbo kit I would only use the OEM manifold because it's reliable, flows plenty good, is affordable and looks stock. You can even run the stock heat shield. Granted I'm building a 500whp 1j but yeah haha. I lifetime warranty my work as well.

Not everyone aims for high horsepower builds. Most would actually be fairly happy with a basic KA-T setup. Cali being the most anal when it comes to engine mods that being sleeper does make more sense. I'm sure for anyone that have gotten REF tickets will understand. It's by no means a guarantee that you will get out of it but you will have better chances than others with SR, RB swaps or messed up looking KAT setup. As for the manifold welds for as long as its being done by someone with good knowledge and experience working on cast iron it will be fine. This is for using T2 framed turbos only anyways
My previous build which I no longer own still works just like it belongs there with no manifold or other issues. I had this for years before selling it. New Owner did have some accident but no issues relating to the KA-T setup. |
