my car's almost donemynismo 07-24-2004, 10:51 PM details at http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/633231 fmic is in, harness and radiator get here monday, and thats the day the engine's going in. wish me luck, the motor's been sitting around for years so i hope nothing's frozen or nonfunctional. Grenyaer 07-24-2004, 11:04 PM i love the before and after pics of the bay, you did a nice ass job cleaning that up. Kudos! nissanfanatic 07-25-2004, 12:26 AM Put that biatch in!!!!!!!!!! ZilverZilvia 07-25-2004, 01:09 AM mynismo, if you dont mind me asking, were did you send out your wiring harness to get rewired? Did you ups it or give it to a shop down the sreet, reason why i ask is because i live in new york and have no idea were i can get a professional to do this for me. And also, AWESOME!!! Valve cover Looks great! :thumbsup: SR20DETpower 07-25-2004, 08:17 AM why did u get rid of the 2nd one? you should have tried out KA power by the looks of it so far is this a show car? KenOhki2112 07-25-2004, 12:02 PM oh god, so hot. <3 <3 <3 rps13freak 07-25-2004, 12:18 PM looks amazing man. keep up the good work. mynismo 07-25-2004, 01:10 PM thanks for all the comments guys, wow you really like it. i like it too, but you should only wait and see until i'm finished. it'll be PHAT :grinyes: i love the before and after pics of the bay, you did a nice ass job cleaning that up. Kudos! thanks, took a good 4-5 hours to clean it up. i sprayed a couple things black, but for the most part it cleaned up really nice. mynismo, if you dont mind me asking, were did you send out your wiring harness to get rewired? Did you ups it or give it to a shop down the sreet, reason why i ask is because i live in new york and have no idea were i can get a professional to do this for me. And also, AWESOME!!! Valve cover Looks great! :thumbsup: i actually have a shop that's doing the swap for me since i'm all thumbs for swapping an engine in, but he doesn't do the wiring. he sent it out to www.phase2motortrend.com to do the wiring. i read up on them (i got about 30% of my parts from them also, great guys who know their stuff) - and the wiring comes all shrinkwrapped, tied and labeled (they label each and every wire --- what it does, where it goes, etc. they charge $200 but it's well worth it. if you're looking for a place to do the wiring and are on a budget i'd go to www.jgycustoms.com - $100. i will need to eventually repaint the valve cover. as good as it looks i think it could look better. i'll eventually get a spare one, sandblast it and coat it with some really awesome paint. i like the bronze though... why did u get rid of the 2nd one? you should have tried out KA power by the looks of it so far is this a show car? i got that question so many times... i got rid of the 2nd one because: it had been in 3 accidents i was unaware of (all major), the swap was hacked and slashed, there were leaks coming from the engine (i'd need to pull it to fix all the leaks), i was unhappy where it was going, it had roll-up windows and no sunroof, and etc etc etc. lets just say that this black one is already way better. ka won't handle by power goal without upping the internals, its more expensive, and i just don't want to. i know much more about the sr and what can be done. show car? heh. possibly, didn't think of it but all the parts im putting into it are top notch, and im doing a little body work as well (don't worry guys, nothing that doesn't look stock). i'd say by the end of winter it probably could be a show car. its going in over the next day or so. my friend's went up to check out the fmic install (i was exhausted all day yesterday, and didn't see it yet), and they said the install looked absolutely great. matt did such a good job installing it, the fmic looks like it came stock on the car, and you can hardly see it from the front. i was going to take a look at it today but im heading over to see a movie. i figure i'll be seeing this damn car every day for years to come... i can wait to see it tomorrow. mynismo 07-25-2004, 01:25 PM currently as far as speed goes, im hoping its as fast as my last one (13.6@107). i have a flywheel, header, and much better tires on top of that one, but don't have the ecu yet, so im thinking it'll be in the mid-high 13's. im thinking of a disco potato turbo setup in the future (possibly next spring), low 12's would be very nice. ZilverZilvia 07-25-2004, 03:13 PM i actually have a shop that's doing the swap for me since i'm all thumbs for swapping an engine in, but he doesn't do the wiring. he sent it out to www.phase2motortrend.com to do the wiring. i read up on them (i got about 30% of my parts from them also, great guys who know their stuff) - and the wiring comes all shrinkwrapped, tied and labeled (they label each and every wire --- what it does, where it goes, etc. they charge $200 but it's well worth it. Wow that would really be great, 200 isnt expensive for a harness that wont break apart with everyday driving. How much hp did you get with the stock turbo and the rest of the upgrades? BaDmAn 07-25-2004, 03:22 PM Hey mynismo you have a great car on your hands. I cant wait to see it when its done! mynismo 07-25-2004, 04:18 PM ill post here when its running! im praying everything goes good! the wiring definitely wont break apart if you send it away to get wired, but phase2 is a known shop for 240's and i really trust them. be prepared to wait 2.5-3 weeks to get it back. with the last car, on stock turbo, firestone firehawk 195's and 10psi (spiking to 13 when upshift, then down back to 10), it ran a 13.6@106 with a 2.1 60' (open differential). with an lsd and some drag radial's, i would have definitely hit 12's because the car was gutted. but i think a 12.9 is still possible on stock turbo, injectors and maf with a couple more bolt ons and real good traction. i chirped every gear down the track :) prolly 250-260whp. for now im aiming for the same horsepower figures... my last car was extremely fast and i smoked absolutely everything i raced (even a c5). the last day i had it, i pulled up to a stoplight with a 5.0 who was talking trash to me. i took off, missed 2nd gear, got it in and shifted to 3rd, and i was about 6-7 cars ahead :) ZilverZilvia 07-25-2004, 04:31 PM 250 with stock turbo is amazing! Imagine with a new turbo....I LOVE IT! mynismo 07-25-2004, 05:24 PM i dont want to go above 320whp for reliability issues... past that you need head gasket, internals, etc. and its a complete gas hog. for those of you who've never driven in a sr-240, at 250whp they are fast beyond belief. my maxima does low 15's in the 1/4mi, and this thing does mid 13s with high 12 traps. to get an idea vettes do low 14's in the 1/4mi... with low 14 traps. on the hiway the thing just pulls, and pulls, and pulls... then pulls some more. when i pounced on it going onto the hiway, by the time i got off the onramp i already hit 105mph (few hundred feet!) these cars are so fun. gotta love em :) BaDmAn 07-25-2004, 06:27 PM ill post here when its running! im praying everything goes good! the wiring definitely wont break apart if you send it away to get wired, but phase2 is a known shop for 240's and i really trust them. be prepared to wait 2.5-3 weeks to get it back. with the last car, on stock turbo, firestone firehawk 195's and 10psi (spiking to 13 when upshift, then down back to 10), it ran a 13.6@106 with a 2.1 60' (open differential). with an lsd and some drag radial's, i would have definitely hit 12's because the car was gutted. but i think a 12.9 is still possible on stock turbo, injectors and maf with a couple more bolt ons and real good traction. i chirped every gear down the track :) prolly 250-260whp. for now im aiming for the same horsepower figures... my last car was extremely fast and i smoked absolutely everything i raced (even a c5). the last day i had it, i pulled up to a stoplight with a 5.0 who was talking trash to me. i took off, missed 2nd gear, got it in and shifted to 3rd, and i was about 6-7 cars ahead :) I havn't read anything on your car cept for whats in this thread so I was wondering what block were you running in your first 240 Ace$nyper 07-25-2004, 06:33 PM very nice how bout sharing? good looking i want more pix when its 100% set! pnoiSR20 07-25-2004, 07:12 PM What about your body kit, eh? mynismo 07-25-2004, 08:10 PM yo... my old car is at http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/548301 it was a redtop with basically the same mods as the one that's being built, but now i have a flywheel and header :) also note my old car's best time of 13.6 was ran at a pretty crappy track and with really bad tires. with an lsd, better tires and better track im sure i'd hit a 12.9. i went to norwalk once before i sold it, but i only got two runs in (13.8, 13.7). if i had time for a few more runs there, im sure i would have hit a 13.5. basically all i had was clutch, downpipe, test pipe, exhaust, ecu, and fmic (and an open diff :evillol: ). ill keep ya guys updated. im almost 100% positive that im going with the pdm racing sideskirts and rear valance, and getting a chargespeed front bumper. i'm doing looks late this winter though when she'll be laying around for a couple months. 240's can easily lay down a hurtin on the road. now i know why nissan never brought the sr here... the 300z would have never sold. J SPEC SilEighty 07-25-2004, 10:38 PM That valve cover is so dope.... mynismo 07-25-2004, 10:53 PM it'll look more dope when its in the engine bay, with the fmic piping installed can't wait! klohiq 07-26-2004, 12:36 AM very nice... im still hoping to get rid of my current car and get a 240sx at some point...an mr2 turbo would be more what I want though... SR20DETpower 07-27-2004, 12:27 PM man that video sucked, thats some of the worst driving in the history of 240sx's and drag racing.......... maybe its the driver.... maybe its the parts I been telling you to get ever since you wanted a turbo but never listened.... anyhow that STI raped you hard, if you had a good launch he would be toast easily. that was a pathetic lil tire squeel from you and you didn't even go anywhere, did u stall it or something? hahaha I mean good bro, practice up on your launches and get some better parts... bronze valve covers and cool turbo manifolds that are nice and shiny don't mean shit if you can't even launch as hard as a stock civic. Unless you going to tow it to car shows, then have fun if thats your perrogative... I feel u doing the mods all wrong AGAIN.....3rd time now... mynismo 07-27-2004, 12:31 PM man that video sucked, thats some of the worst driving in the history of 240sx's and drag racing.......... maybe its the driver.... maybe its the parts I been telling you to get ever since you wanted a turbo but never listened.... anyhow that STI raped you hard, if you had a good launch he would be toast easily. that was a pathetic lil tire squeel from you and you didn't even go anywhere, did u stall it or something? hahaha I mean good bro, practice up on your launches and get some better parts... bronze valve covers and cool turbo manifolds that are nice and shiny don't mean shit if you can't even launch as hard as a stock civic.

I've launced a 550hp El Camino 383 cu in all motor street car 600hp Camaro 350 all motor drag car made a 10.80 pass myself and to top it all off a T66 powered Grand National...... whats your little stock turbo sr20 run 13's? LMFAO learn to drive before taking out a nice car and looking like a rich asshole who doesn't know shit about cars, oh wait that is you think before you speak I work on cars for a living lol mynismo 07-27-2004, 08:10 PM lol lol im a fag lol someone please lock this thread... SR20DETpower 07-27-2004, 08:44 PM Ace$nyper 07-27-2004, 08:46 PM another thread hijacked by my buddy SR20DET no really your cool in my book that was freaking funny SR20DETpower 07-27-2004, 10:39 PM thanks man, I just stopped smoking ciggarettes last wednesday so a little stress relief that doesn't involve a trip to jail is always good LMAO. besides, did I say anything that is not true? turbo2nr 07-28-2004, 01:14 AM just wonderng what are you power goals? 1 mynismo 07-28-2004, 01:43 AM on stock turbo with my bolt ons and (future) cams i want to put out 290whp. then i'll add in a disco potato :) a good 350whp. without the cams right now i should be putting out about 270whp. more than enough for the time being, i'd rather spend the money on suspension and looks. turbo2nr 07-28-2004, 02:02 AM you could of coxed 270whp from a ka.. well it was ur choice 1 klohiq 07-28-2004, 02:16 AM you could of coxed 270whp from a ka.. well it was ur choice 1 I agree very much so and you don't have to spend 4000 for the engine and install...but it was mynismo's choice. 400cc is a lot to lose imo...but even a ca18 can compete with the ka and that's 600cc difference. I guess whatever you choose you can make it a decent powerplant, but the ka is already in the car and it puts out 133rwhp stock (I think...)...while the sr puts out like 166rwhp stock I believe...and it's a turbo...so really I can't justify 33hp for ~4000 dollars...even if it is whp. 270whp is a decent amount for the ka to make though...the sr has proven it can make that much a little more often. DIY and a few others have made ka powered cars (240sx and otherwise) that can make decent figures like that, but how reliable are they really? mrflip69 07-28-2004, 02:29 AM 270whp is a decent amount for the ka to make though...the sr has proven it can make that much a little more often. DIY and a few others have made ka powered cars (240sx and otherwise) that can make decent figures like that, but how reliable are they really? Very reliable, on stock internals, but the SR has the aftermarket going though. mynismo 07-28-2004, 01:03 PM ka's internals aren't as strong as the sr's. im looking to get a little above 300whp, and the ka can't sustain that without built internals. please don't tell me otherwise... i've asked about 10 different shops, went through tons of research and everyone told me that if you want between 250-400whp, the sr is of choice. anything below or above that, it's the ka. anyone who tells you otherwise is blowing steam up your ass. and yes, the sr does come with only about 160whp, but you add an exhaust, fmic and boost controller and it's up to almost 250whp (and that's reliable power). the ka on stock internals would be maxed out and wouldn't be too reliable... while the sr has at least another 100whp that you can get out of it reliably. and the engine in my car was blown, no way in hell i'd throw in another ka. im not a ka hater but the sr is a much better engine imho. there's a reason why people swap it in. SR20DETpower 07-28-2004, 01:24 PM actually upon further investigation and I've said this before stock for stock I believe the KA is stronger.... and yes someone has made over 400rwhp on a stock internal KA..and thats whats only been done so far...defintely not the ultimate First off even the block material is better, the mains are constructed better, I like the cam design better, the crank is stronger, the rods are forged...and lets not forget it has more displacement stock, the head flows more stock then the SR20 now lets look at this, some people can justify spending 5grand just to try to be cool. I can't. Why is there any reason to get a SR when you have a bigger, better constructed, stronger motor ALREADY in the car? That would be like taking a SS Camaro and putting in the 3800 v6 motor instead of the LS1...it just doesn't make sense when you think of the big picture. If you don't think anything I have said is true, I've found all this information either here, at 240sxforums.com, or FreshAlloy.com I read it all for myself to gain some knowledge, if you really want to know you will do the same also... so don't call me a bullshitter SR20DETpower 07-28-2004, 01:31 PM there's a reason why people swap it in. there is also a reason why people put on s15 headlights or ITR front end to our Acura Integra's...... because its the cool thing to do, its in all the magazines. They think that they or their car is automatically "cool" because it has something that is "in" lol. Why is there any other reason to swap it in? I can name one other. If you were some japanese person, who now lives in the United States, and owned Silvia/180sx and knows a lot about the SR20 from working on them, or just really enjoyed that motor for so many years, then for them swapping in a sr20 is on a different level then what kids in US are doing with 240sx's today. the people who build their own shit, have dirty fingernails, and spend as little money as possible to make things go fast, not because thats the way it has to be, but because thats the way a true enthusiast is. Working on the car is atleast 75% of the enjoyment of owning a car that you like turbo2nr 07-28-2004, 02:26 PM Working on the car is atleast 75% of the enjoyment of owning a car that you like :werd: i deffinatly agree on that one. my car isnt the fastest but i love working on it, it is soo fufilling. btw i see the future of this thread ka vs. sr20det lolz o0o well let the fight begin :icon16: 1 TheLogikal1 07-28-2004, 05:35 PM go SR!!!! haha ive never ridden a turbo ka before.... Chuki_breath 07-28-2004, 06:41 PM all i have to say is check out the phatka-t.com site....weak internals huh???? well they have KA engine with over 100,000 miles with stock internals punching out over 400hp on 16psi.....i guess they just got lucky.....or not. yes sr has more aftermarket but i can see the future building up with more and more KA equipment with this car becoming more popular. Didnt yashio factory take this idea into consideration???? dunno only time will tell..... Chuki_breath 07-28-2004, 06:47 PM o wow how weird there is a post on yashio factory and ka's down the threads list.... mrflip69 07-28-2004, 08:04 PM Who the hell keeps telling you it's unreliable? Try asking people who know wtf their doing... enough people on Fresh Alloy are running KA-Ts as daily drivers for at least 2 years w/o any problems. Take care of the KA's pistons and fuel system, and that should take care of most of your worries about "reliability". And those 2 alone, won't dig a hole in your pocket. Isn't the SR's stock turbo past efficiency at around 250hp anyway? turbo2nr 07-28-2004, 08:59 PM i driven in a ka-t and raced 1 it is fast as hell! tat2 has one i seen his car and he gave me a ride in it he is easily putting down 250+whp on his setup.. go ka! 1 shi shi bog 07-29-2004, 06:20 AM whats done to your engine? was it a black top? if not what turbz? OrangeCrush 07-29-2004, 08:22 AM Good Lord in Heaven. Would you leave the engine choices up to the person thats doing the swapping? No need for yet another SR vs. KA war here. Its ridiculous. Im proud you got the SR man, thats what you wanted. Im getting what i want. Hmm an SR20det. BlingBling. And im swapping it myself. Ill get grease under my fingernails and be proud of it. logik23 07-29-2004, 11:29 AM :iagree: Let the man make his decision! And to whoever said it, yes the turbo loses it's efficiency at like 14psi (about 250whp), or something like that, but the internals can hold more. mynismo 07-29-2004, 01:15 PM :iagree: Let the man make his decision! And to whoever said it, yes the turbo loses it's efficiency at like 14psi (about 250whp), or something like that, but the internals can hold more. thank you... btw, enjuku has 544whp stock internals, stock bottom end :smile: and as i said turbo2nr, the engine was blown when i got it. i basically saved $2000 right there. and... http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/9/web/633000-633999/633231_36_full.jpg a little prettier than the ka... Chuki_breath 07-29-2004, 09:31 PM a little prettier than a STOCK ka yes how did u save 2000? you could of bought a junkyard ka rather than that junkyard sr for like 500. Then spent the other 1500 on what needed to be done??? 1500 can go along way if you ask me. i dunno maybe im missing something. Or did you get a deal on it? but yea i dont care sr is still bad ass and it is your car...like i said in the other thread...i like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mynismo 07-29-2004, 10:38 PM 1500 on a stock ka can't do much.. all the turbo kits available for the ka are around 3500 and put out 260-270whp.. i can spend that much and get about the same out of the sr. and then i have another 200+whp to go on the sr before it runs out of room.. i got the car for $800 with the blown motor. i'd much rather spend another grand and get an sr. SR20DETpower 07-29-2004, 11:14 PM uh 1500 will buy injectors, turbo, manifold, intercooler, wastegate, bov(god I hate to say you need one of these to mynismoricer) piping and lines/flanges for you to weld 1500 in parts, 0 in labor depending on the turbo you buy, t hats more then enough hardware to make 350rwhp, lets see a SR do that for 1500 in total cost after buying a stock 240sx mynismo 07-30-2004, 10:32 AM just my intercooler alone costed $750. injectors are 500, turbo (bigger than t25) is going to cost around $500, wastegate $100, bov $150, piping $200.... im sorry its around 2k for a baseline turbo setup. then you need some sort of fuel management or ecu... another $500. add in some tuning, $200 and an exhaust... $500. ok up to 3k for a bottom line kit putting out 260whp. im sorry but i'd rather have the sr. mynismo 07-30-2004, 10:34 AM i might have even been exaggerating above http://shop.store.yahoo.com/phase2motorsports/grs14katdboo.html 225hp at the motor.. not even at the crank. and it costs $2800 without the i/c. screw that. i can get the sr20 motorset AND a fmic for 2800 and push out 250whp. yet another reason to get the sr. Chuki_breath 07-30-2004, 03:26 PM thats a fucking KIT thats y it costs so damn much!!!!! who buys a kit honestly????? peice the shit together yourself. Plus that kit is rated at the lowest possible setting for warranty issues...i read somewhere that that kit can easily get you 300 hp to the ground. so um yea......... it comes with a 20g turbo right? my friend had a 18g and many other mods and that thing would go, on an eclipse though. My other friend has a 16g, tial bov, boost controller, safc, turbo timer, and 3" exhaust on his eclipse with stock intercooler and he hangs with comaro ss's. OrangeCrush 07-30-2004, 03:32 PM i read somewhere that that kit can easily get you 300 hp to the ground. so um yea......... You read that somewhere...where? Find it. Chuki_breath 07-30-2004, 03:38 PM ill try but i read alot of shit but as i think about it, i think someone told me that. ill try though. But just think it was tested a 6psi whahahaah both my friends have bumped up to 15 psi on smaller turbos during race days so.......like i said they recommend there settings so you dont go out and blow your engine then try to sue them. just have to tune your shit right and be reasonable. mynismo 07-30-2004, 05:15 PM back up your claims... i did. SR20DETpower 07-30-2004, 05:30 PM wepl its common fact that stock SR's usually cost atleast 2000 for the motorset, plus someone like you mynismo has to get it installed, which is usually another good 1,000 dollars, plus thats not even all the parts you need to complete the swap, you paid 800 for a damn intercooler because you can't turn a screwdriver, nor weld. YOu bought a JDM Tyte yo intercooler kit, you can buy SPEARCO intercooler cores for about a hundred bucks, end takes for VERy cheap, and spearco intercoolers are lot more effecient then that JDM shit(Greddy). its also common fact that stock SR's put about 166 hp to the wheels, most will agree with this, the others are dillusional elities jdm tyte yo people. MANY people have built low budget(under 1500) KAT's that run for years everyday on below 10psi that are putting out a good 225-250rwhp. If you never heard of this stuff being done you don't read a lot about 240sx's.......atleast the good information. so lets see, SR motorset, installation, extra parts, atleast 4000 for a SR20 into a 240sx, some would proclaim 5grand. sr20, 5 grand, 166rwhp KA24det, $1500, 225rwhp and thats even being on the high side for price of a KAT and on the low side of power still a comparison that makes the SR look like pussy shit OOOOOOOOOOo my nismo ricer ran a 13.6 with about 7-8000 in parts for his motor on his old 240sx, meanwhile, someone with a sub 2000 dollar invested into motor KAT putting down 259rwhp ran a 12.9... but thats an unfair comparison, Derrek Greaser is about the best 240sx drag racer I've seen, and MyNismo is about the worst 240sx driver I've seen LMFAO owned again this punk don't know what he talking about, can't drive worth a shit, is a ricer, thinks just cause its JDM its cool and fast, and likes blowing off his BOV infront of kids to scare them while he goes down street.... these are the facts we have learned so far Chuki_breath 07-30-2004, 05:52 PM well there you go... SR20DETpower 07-30-2004, 06:40 PM this whole fucking SR20 craze started with a bunch of internet surfer's who found out about drifting and what they used. They think, wow all these cool drift cars have sr20's not one has a KA24.... so KA's must suck atleast this is the only REASONABLE explination I can think of then one begins to read up about the thing they like or want to know more about, this is human nature to educate yourself. But you see where most go wrong, you never base your opinions on one source of information. You don't want your car to be just like the JDM cars or etc.. cause in reality, whats to say a 240sx is not better? So you have to learn about both sides of the story, people started turbocharging KA24's on 240sx's as of lately(they werent the first people to ever turbocharge a KA24, but if your not an asshole you will see my point) you begin to wonder about those as well. Welp when you start knowing more about the KA24de, the more you like it. It's materials, its construction, its OEM. LOL.Don't rule the KA out, they were racing the SOHC one way before the SR came out. lets not forget, the DOHC ka24 is made for the 240sx, this is what car used it first to the best of my knowledge. so the engine was built for a sports car. all the facts point to this. Do you really think nissan would put a SHITTY motor into a sports car? this is NISSAN we are talking about let us not forget, to agree that the KA was a shit engine would be like saying the SR, VG, or RB are shit engines too, after all those are engines built for sports cars too.... Dollar for Dollar the KA makes more power then a SR. Aftermarket companies make every part you would ever need for a KA24. not too mention it has more displacement, that hasn't been said this thread the KA can rev faster then shit, it can rev very high, and it can make more power then anyone of us here could handle using on the street. KA24DEpower should be my name, but they won't let me change it and keep my history from what I understand, if im wrong please tell me logik23 07-30-2004, 06:50 PM Yes, were talking about Nissan of America here, the same company that had to be saved by Peugeot because they were going bankrupt, Nissan of Japan is a godlike company, but stateside, they sucked ass in the 90's. The 240SX was a small try to make some money by being the only (or one of few) companies to have a RWD car that didn't cost a fortune. Why is it that the SR powered Silvia and 180SX sold like crazy and the KA powered 240SX didn't sell dick? SR20DETpower 07-30-2004, 07:32 PM thats all of Nissan, and its by Renault damn maybe it wasn't just america you know they stopped making S chassis, Z chassis, and BNR chassis all in Japan too? LOL mynismo 07-31-2004, 01:48 PM derek greaser has direct ignition ($2500) and lsd... you can't compare his car to mine. if you do you are plain foolish. you CANNOT build a ka-t for under 2k. if you think you can you are either: 1. on crack 2. on crack 3. on crack tat's setup was rigged, and you don't remember all the posts he had with everything wrong with it. i remember when he lost the car... he said he's through with 240s. i've never met an sr-owner that wasn't happy. you are just saying a lot of bullshit that isn't true. ghostchild316 08-01-2004, 02:24 PM Yes you can have a ka-t for 2000 or less.SOHCturbo did it on another forum using a 14b and doing all the labor himself. Oh yea and remember tat was also too lazy to change his fuel filter... mynismo,don't knock my KA's.I love'em thats why I have three of them.1 SOHC and 2 DOHC motors.its gonna be awhile before I turbo my ka24de because I'm not made of money like you but its gonna be one helluva ride when its done.I'll post up time slips then and we can compare logik23 08-01-2004, 04:17 PM Why don't you sell 2 of your 3 engines, it'll get you a little closer to having the turbo. mrflip69 08-02-2004, 01:20 AM i've never met an sr-owner that wasn't happy. you are just saying a lot of bullshit that isn't true. You weren't happy w/ your last SR car. Of course, that was a sloppy swap, and the frame was fucked anyway, right? mynismo 08-02-2004, 10:53 AM i was VERY happy with my last sr car. the ONLY reason i sold it was because the frame was fucked, the paint sucked, it had roll up windows and no sunroof. if i was going to keep it i'd have to pull the motor and fix all the leaks... i dont think it was worth it because the chassis was fucked.... and another 1.5k brought me to the car i have now :) rps13freak 08-02-2004, 11:18 AM i love no sunroof and roll up windows. mynismo 08-02-2004, 01:34 PM good for you i cant cope with taking a girl out for the night and her seeing and actually using the rollup windows. not gonna happen. logik23 08-02-2004, 02:10 PM Why not? If she can't open or close a damn window manually then...... :loser: sidewayzS13 08-02-2004, 06:45 PM this is turning into another sr ka argument we all know both engines are good and we are all happy w/ whichever engine we have chosen to use. so just be happy that we have a choice of 2 badass engines that easily drop into our car and once again be happy that u dont have a mental problem that causes u to like civics ghostchild316 08-02-2004, 07:05 PM Why don't you sell 2 of your 3 engines, it'll get you a little closer to having the turbo. BECAUSE... KA24E-It's running in my fastback right now.It's what gets me around. KA24DE #1-Is being prepared to be dropped into my fastback then turbocharged later. KA24DE #2-Is still in my coupe.it'll get pulled out later.It's gonna be my back up motor incase the KA-T blows up.Possibly be rebuilt with forged pistons and rods to REALLY turn up the boost.also serving as a parts motor for now. Chuki_breath 08-03-2004, 07:50 PM good for you i cant cope with taking a girl out for the night and her seeing and actually using the rollup windows. not gonna happen. so your saying girls could give two shits about you they just like your car????? if the girl likes you she wont mind having to roll up some god damn windows. i mean ill treat a girl like a queen, but she has to realize im the god damn king!!!! ZilverZilvia 08-03-2004, 08:20 PM i mean ill treat a girl like a queen, but she has to realize im the god damn king!!!! :spit:AHAHA THAT IS THE ALL TIME BEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!!:rofl: Chuki you kick ass! rps13freak 08-03-2004, 10:58 PM girls are great and all but if they are going to complain about rolling up/down window then they got some problems.
