Ran the KA-T at the drag strip again...

first run was the fastest

60ft-2.3782
1/8 ET-9.6796
1/8mph-73.78
1/4 ET-14.7868
1/4mph-96.59

second run was 14.85 at a whopping 98.47mph.Third run was [email protected] ([email protected]) had a passenger on the last run.

I am very happy now.Not bad for a home brewed $1500 setup.I had alotta ppl ask me if I was runnin an SR20 http://www.ka-t.org/forums/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif ...They were all surprised when I told them it was a KA http://www.ka-t.org/forums/images/smiles/icon_twisted.gif They were even more surprised when I told them the motor has almost 160k mi on it! http://www.ka-t.org/forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Also on the way to the track I smashed a GSR swapped Del Slow and after the drags were over I shut down my buddy in his LS/VTEC Integra.

Not bad for a "truck" motor http://www.ka-t.org/forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Damn man some awesome runs there. Sorry I couldn't make it.

that's hot...

btw you got a clean motor for 160k

sorry but i must say that im kinda dissapointed with the runs...i honestly didnt think that an stock sr motor would school a ka-t that bad...dont take that as doggin on your runs...just that i would say something...what do most ka-t's produce rwhp #'s on top of that what type of turbo set up are you running T3 turbo?

just a follow up...i really need to run at the 1/4 track about 2 hours from here...i think i would be hoping for low 13's or high 12's

ET means jack shit for power. MPH is what matters.

Nice runs ghostchild. Don't listen to what anyone says. 97mph in the quarter is hauling ass. You know what you have and what you are doing. THats all you need. ROCK ON!!!!

Stock SR20 runs what?....

my stock sr...besides intercooler and exhaust is running a 8.8 in the 1/8 at 83mph....like my sig says...and like i said before i wasnt knocking the run or anything like that i just thought that ka-t pulled off some crazy stuff becuase of the torque advantage over the sr....sorry if it was misinterpreted

Stock boost? 7 PSI?

acutally...i lied...thanks for reminding me i was running about 12lbs that day...

the Stock SR is a high 14 Second car.

the T25 will take you into the 12s... but your MPH will be trash.

your engine is clean... but you can tell its got some miles from your Ubar Blowby... unless you've had those breather lines for 4 years.

yea it gots some miles on it...partly why my stock t25 has some crazy issues (prbably hella shaft play)...but and engine build and new turbo to come soon...

yea those lines are old but its all i had:icon16:

Well fellas,I ran my car again

my last run was my best which was at 4:30am this morning...http://www.ka-t.org/forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

60 ft - 2.2450

1/8 ET - 9.2790

1/8mph - 78.55

1/4 ET - 14.2699

1/4mph - 99.03

The car ran like a champ most of the night.There was one time I missed 3rd and i still ran a 15.1!

Remember,I'm still running that dinky hairdryer and a FMU...I wanna dip into the 13's before summer is over.I'm saving the 12's for next year http://www.ka-t.org/forums/images/smiles/icon_twisted.gif

Yes FMU.I'mma try to get 600cc injectors and an enthalpy tune before summer is over and challenge my buddy with his SR swapped silvia clone.His best was a 13.5...

and Yea Cory,Imma continue haulin ASS!!!

I'm running a straight T3 .42/.48ar.I got it from a salvage yard...

I also got a question for you,How much did spend on your SR swap?

Id be happy if all i spent was 1,500 on that. Nice work.
Cant wait till you get that ecu and injectors.

honestly i didnt buy the sr...i was unfortuate in not being able to do the swap myself...i found a decent deal on my car for 7g's...i personally think for the condition my car is in and the stuff that have been done to the car that it is a decent price...anywho...i like the 14.2 run alot better...that seems to be what a t3 should be running...and like i said before i wasnt trying to knock your car...just thought it would have been faster...sorry

A T3 is smaller then a T25 is that not right?

i believe it is just by alittle bit

T25 is smaller.

do you have an open diff?

yes open differential and stock replacement clutch.stock suspension.only mod to the drive train is a SPLparts tranny mount

Great stuff on the KA!
Keep us posted

nice work on the runs, just keep us posted =)

thats hell of good for $1500. nice job.

what made you go internal wastegate? just wondering what experiences or opinions you had between internal and external WG's..

are you using the stock MAF? ... 14.2 is hella good for that setup.. i'm impressed.. makes me want to turbo my KA even more.

I went with internal WG because that is how I got the turbo.I stuck with it because it saved me some money and it is also adjustable.I will upgrade in the future to a Tial 38mm and stuff a 3in DP in there.

I dont really like it,I mean it works and all but it is not perfect.Every once in awhile I get the dreaded boost creep...

Yes stock MAFS.If I had better tires so I can get better 60fts,I'd be well into the 13's:smile:

Same here.

I want to hit 13's before summer is over,but I would rather do it on street tires.I also want to go more than 100mph in the 1/4mi.:biggrin:

Earlier today,I raced a prelude.I couldn't tell if the guy said he was running a h22 or f22.Either way,it was an easy win for me:evillol::evillol::evillol:

i got a question for fanatic and ghost, what RPM are you guys launching with your open differentials at? just curious and what clutch are you using. I think that is awesome setup with stock MAFS and runing a 14.2! The stock TT VR4 runs a 14.2, that means you damn fast with a 1500$ setup, nice job!

I launch at about 4k give or take a lil. From my understanding, its best to launch at peak torque. I do a quick slip of the clutch as not to slip too much and have a weak launch but also not too quick to bog. If I encounter wheelspin, I let off teh gas real quick and then back on it. Wathc the ultimate KA-T video and watch Duy run. Thats what I do.

Since my boost is back up at 11, I'll try adn get out to the track this saturday and get some 13s in.

I launch at the same RPM as nissanfanatic,but if I start to get some wheel spin I keep going on the throttle and feather the clutch instead.
I'm running a stock replacement clutch.I'll prolly go RPS when I need it:)

preludes are pretty slow of what the power they're supposed to be putting down... an h22 is supposed ot be like 205hp or something... yet it barely runs a 15.. oh well, they weigh a lot I guess..

i wouldn't consider running mid to low 15's and trapping over 90mph to be barely in the 15's. running a 16 flat to high 15 is barely in the 15's. and preludes make from 190-200hp.

damn you launch at 4k on open diff. I cant launch at 3k on open diff without getting serious wheelspin, but that tire is getting pretty damn bald maybe thats why. It just burns up that one tire whahhahaha the "one wheel peel". Or the "one tire fire", as i personaly like to call it. But i havent really been trying to perfect a certain rpm launch yet, i need to change my brake pads so i dont drive it that much. THey squeel like a pig getting slaughtered. Most embarrassing/annoying thing is squeeky ass brakes. Everyone looks at you at the light and is just like wow, midas is right there why dont to whip on in and take care of that.

lol chuki.

for me personally, i usually go just short of 3k. theres nothing like the feeling of a good ass launch in my slow ass car. makes me feel fast. :)

Yea if I launch anything lower then that I kinda bog.I feel comfortable lanching at 4k.Plus 225-50-16 Eagle RS-As kinda help too after doing a burnout to get em sticky :)

Burnouts never help me any. I just go around the burnout box(AKA where they spray water) and do a dry burnout to get any water/gravel off of my tires. Nothing big. Prolly WOT peel out for 1-2 seconds. Also you guys have to realize that VHT is some serious shit. Its way better than launching on the street. On my first run last night, when I was rolling to the starting line, I hear this scckkkkkk noise. I was like "oh shit, whats wrong with my car?!?!?!" I hear it from the four corners of my car. It was my tires sticking to the ground.lol
