KA Street Faction's “Spirit of Fortune” S13 Vert (Socal Dream Super Stock KA-T Setup)

2014-08-04: FORWARD TO PAGE 7 FOR UPDATED SETUP.



☆ ------------------ ☆ ------------------ ☆

A few months ago, I decided to turbo my KA, but only if I can get it to look as factory as possible, so no shiny piping or flashy parts. I wanted this to look 100% STOCK. Luckily, a guy on Craigslist was selling some turbo parts from an SR, so I swooped them up on my way to Formula D (Beginning of October 2010). It took me about two months to find and buy all the parts, then the build started (Beginning of December 2010).

All the parts used:
-T25 Turbo
-SR Manifold modified to be used on a KA with Stock SR Heat Shield
-370cc Injectors
-SMIC w/ Intercooler Piping and OEM air duct
-Greddy 3" Elbow
-3" Down Pipe
-S14 Upper Intake Manifold with plugged PCV Ports
-PCV system modified using one check valve, tee, and oil separator
-NISSPORT Oil Pressure Adapter
-Mishimoto Radiator with Dual Electric Fans (painted black)
-Hayden Automotive Fan Controller
-R.S. Enthalpy Tuned Ecu (T25, N60, 370cc)
-Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
-Blitz DD Blow Off Valve Recirculated (painted black)
-S13 SR20DET OEM Intake Box
-JGS Motor Mounts (rubber)
-Nismo Type B FPR
-Z32 Fuel Filter
-NGK BKR7E Spark Plugs
-Isis FPR Adapter
-Greddy 36mm Radiator Temp Switch Adapter
-Bosch Spark Plug Wire Set
-N60 MAF
-Circuit Sports Thermal Plenum Intake Gasket
-Circuit Sports Magnetic Oil Drain Plug
-Innovate 3833 Turbo Timer w/ Wideband
-XTD Stage 3 Clutch

Extras Installed
-DIF Solid Aluminum Steering Bushing
-Energy Suspension Polyurethane Steering

☆ ------------------ ☆ ------------------ ☆


2009: 17x8 / 17x9 Volk/Manarays, Cusco Comp-S Coilovers


2010: 18x10 XXR 521’s, PBM Pro Coilovers, Sleeper KA-T (210 WHP)


2011: 18x10 AME TM02 Tracers, Fully Built KA-T (350 WHP)


2012: 18x10 Work Bersaglio, Fully Built KA-T (350 WHP)

if im not mistaken, i saw you car at the anaheim K1 Schassis car show/meet. correct?

yeah. there was a coupe there with KA-T, but he had aftermarket mani and piping. but they were all paint flat black, and from what he told me, cops let him pass being dumbfounded and stuff... cuz of his stock intake box an what-not, but i think yours looks much more stock than his, maybe clean up that intake piping and that zipties...other than that, it would def fool a newbie fan boy if you play your game hard. lol good shit though man.

Haha that was me.
Yeah, even with my half-wrapped Megan manifold and painted pipes he let me go.
This setup will fly under the radar no problem!

I dig this...I get a kick out of the 'stock looking' engine bay...keeps the authorities guessing right!

Awesome on the factor manifold conversion. I will undoubtedly use a stock FWD sr manifold on my next turbo altima!

Yea I noticed a difference with the solid there is no play when you turn the steering wheel side to side while you moving at a decent speed. I recommend it. the feedback from bumps is much greater but I dont mind the aggressive ride.

Yea I was at the k1 meet I ended up taking the trophy for best wheel fitment home that day. I dont think I saw that coupe, I cant remember. Are their any pics of his bay? He got lucky lol I'm curious to find out if the cops will know its turbo or not. But I'm not about to go get pulled over on purpose just to find out lol
The zip ties are all gone now, only thing i need to do is clean up the intake piping or paint the couple black.
Thanks for the feedback!

I considered front mount but still thought it was too noticeable so I went with side-mount route, I found an OEM duct for it so that made me lean towards the SMIC too haha

Look closely under the cold pipe coming out of the SMIC.

My engine bay from the 1st K1 meet.
I made my own "cooling panel" and painted it black to cover the front mount.
Currently, I got rid of all those vacuum lines at the front.
I might tuck my injector harness and stuff, and neaten up my fuel line stuff.
