Soooo if no one saw my IG and Snaps from last weekend, my muffler literally exploded at the open drift!!!! I drove home with it scraping on the ground!

Thankfully my friend David is a really good fabricator. He had a stainless piecut turn down exhaust (dolphin tip, lobster top exhaust) sitting in his garage.

He?s now officially my go to fabricator, he literally lives down the street from me!

Saturday was a long day. After waking up at 5:30am, I had a long day at Evergreen. Knocked the KA during practice. I?m pretty sure it was oil starvation. Once I got home (thanks Jordan and Ali) I started tearing the KA out of the car around 9:30pm. Around midnight, I chugged a Nitro Brew and passed out under my car while undoing the transmission bolts.

I woke up in my bed and turned a few wrenches. It?s ready to get inspected and hopefully all it needs is new bearings.

I forgot to post an update.

Motor was torn down. We found that the upper timing chain started breaking apart. Fragments of the upper chain was found in the sump. The debris got everywhere! Cylinder 3 spun a bearing and this crank got rekted.

Jim Heald torn apart the motor and started cleaning all the parts. Checked the head and block, sent everything in to get tanked.

We have a spare eagle rod, replacing the crank, oil pump/front cover, new Tomei head gasket, and I bought a new OEM Nissan timing chain kit.

That evergreen timing chain kit was most likely the culprit for this motors failure.

Couple of photos that Tim Newport got off me during practice. I?m thankful for these. My day ended short.

We didn?t get the KA together fast enough for Villains Sportsland, but Nate ended up loaning me his practice car to run Sportsland. I was really excited to drive, this car is setup well for the 3rd gear entry flicks! I had a blast last weekend! Can?t wait to get my car out there for the fall event!

Just realized I haven?t updated my build thread since July after that summer Villains Sportsland event. I got the motor back within 4 days of dropping it off and threw it back into the car. For any locals, I went through Jim Heald at ALM. Patrick Healds dad builds stock car 240 KA?s all motor. Him and his team have won championships with those motors. I def trust him.

Replaced spun bearing, crank, rod, timing chain kit (oem this time) and had everything cleaned. Slapped a new Tomei head gasket on it and called it hood.

We ended up shaking down the motor at Spirit Peaks. The oil cooler was leaking the night before so I got rid of that. The alternator harness plug wasn?t seating properly and we did an oil change.

While I was teaching the lady friend how to do donuts, the turbo manifold cracked in 2 spots and the t2 gasket blew.

You guys probably saw this go viral. After I pulled the turbo manifold off to have the cracks welded, I said fuck it. I told my buddy ?weld the manifold and o2 elbow to the exhaust housing?

So much shit talking and keyboard warriors came out to bash me. Don?t care, I told my fabricator friend ?next time this bitch is coming off, we?re switching to vband housings and your making me a new turbo manifold?

Daniel Reed and I ended up borrowing Zach Farrars 2 car trailer. Loaded up the night before PARCFEST and hit the road at 5am.

We arrived at Pats Acres Racing Complex at about 10:30am. Beat the traffic and ate good breakfast.

PARCFEST had to have been one of the most memorable events this year (next to Summerjam) but I have to say I got so much seat time due to the low driver count!

All the homies were in the pits hanging out. I?m honestly sad that a lot of drivers I wanted to tandem with stayed at home because of the COVID restrictions. Oh well, I can?t complain over more seat time.

Looks like a blast! Turbo to manifold weld is legit..not the first time ive seen it, and it works lol!

Fuglychuki91 · 09-26-2020, 05:40 PM

Yeah man it definitely looked like a great time.

Wykydtron · 10-20-2020, 10:36 AM

Half cage with door bars installed. Also got front and rear bash bars fabbed up. My rear bash bar has a Jack point and a trailer hitch receiver.

Glad you're out there enjoying yourself, KA-T's are crazy fun when you figure out the fuckery. That red corolla on sharks is spicy.

Thanks man!

I just realized I haven't been doing a good job documenting recent changes on my car.

3 weeks ago a blew my differential. Ring and pinon left the chat! Cameron Moore sold me his extra welded diff. I had my buddy David weld in metal plates. While I had the diff out, I pulled a blow Z32 axle out and install 2 new (used OEM) fresh ones.

Here's my short vlog: https://youtu.be/y5E2nFL1yYA

I didn't really take photos, sorry. I might have a few...

Wykydtron · 01-02-2021, 12:55 AM

Here?s photos of the diff with the plates thrown in!

Awesome! Love the style

There is a reason some manufacturers build the manifold and turbo housing as one unit!

Keep it up!

I guess it?s time to go to top of the manifold? I don?t know if I wanna spend 2 to 3 grand on top mount right now. I just got accepted into Drift Week 3 so I just spent a shit ton of money.

This experiment was fun. I did it for the Memes

Drift Week 3 prep is now under way! I just received a package from Tial with a vband 63 exhaust housing and a 44mm wastegate!

Added a meme that came up in the DW3 group chat!

Robbie Erickson reached out to me and offered to build me a turbo manifold. I was pretty stoked because he lives close to me! I?m going top mount, so I?m converting my current turbo from bottom mount!
