ka t-25 turbo build - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

dirtdiggler666 · 12-07-2008, 06:26 PM

well i have been working this for a while and i wanted to wait tell i was about done

my setup

ka24de stock 120k
s13 t25
s13 370's
walbro 255
megan t2 manifold
custom 3'' down pipe
custon 3'' stright pipe
turbo xs dump tube
jgs oil line and return
turbo xs intercooler and pipes
ls1 coil packs
msd 8.5 wires
haltech e8 engine management
haltech boost controller and trim knob
plx wideband
hks wastegate
hks bov
blox vacuum block

here are some of the pics im not on my computer so i will have to post up the rest later.

oil return

the bling

wireing up the haltech

oil filter relocation with a ford filter woo hooo oh dont mind the wire mess its been fixed

the coils are no longer their, i was going to run a electric fan but dicided to just stay with the clutch fan

ok thats it for now i also posted this because its going to the dyno in 2 weeks

Fries · 12-07-2008, 07:14 PM

Why the no go on the e-fan? [G20 fans with altima harness is purrrrfect]

Why did you do that to the coils?
What did you do have to do for the wiring of the haltech?
Are you having a shop tune the haltech?
Getta heatshield =]
[p.s. I'm not talking shit, simply curious]

gunluvS14 · 12-07-2008, 07:33 PM

pretty nice, u just pretty much use the S13 hot pipe and intercooler setup?
you are not running any BOV at this moment are u?

I saw you hooked up the coolant line for the T25, which route did you use?
and finally, you still have the bumper support? aka the 5mph bumper?

dirtdiggler666 · 12-07-2008, 07:50 PM

altma fans ummm i just said fuck it people allways told me they sometimes over heat the engine.

i just got a s14 sr kit and just had to mod the cold pipe

sorry no coolent lines and no bumper support

do what to the coils????

heatshield yes i will

ummm their is not plug and play kit so yes you have to wire it up yourself if thats what your asking

and yes i am going to have a shop tune it i do not have a dyno nor do i know how to tune haltech

hope that covers all the q's

kid270r · 12-08-2008, 02:33 PM

props on your setup, i ran the E6s on mine. the DOS program is pretty easy. the wiring isnt that difficult. its way better than modding the OE harness plus its way much cleaner. the haltech isnt that hard to tune once you find the base maps. i think i still got maps from my setup if you need a starting point. you can also use CBR coils also for a cleaner look besides the ls1 or infiniti coils. the cbr's fit perfect. do you plan to delete your dizzy?

s13 @ fullboost · 12-08-2008, 02:43 PM

Looks tight I want video once it runs =]

norcal_black240 · 12-08-2008, 02:47 PM

A haltech on a ka-t, nice man. How much did your EMS setup run you if you dont mind me asking?

dori_sil8t · 12-08-2008, 03:11 PM

cool shit. nice work

*NemeGuero* · 12-08-2008, 03:20 PM

I would run the feed line above the mount.

e8 and only using a t25 and 370s? I mean, legit.. but ready for more power. Especially since you went with coils.

dirtdiggler666 · 12-08-2008, 05:19 PM

well for the e8
used ls1 coils
trim knob
and the boost con i would say about 1500.00

and trust me i posed this over at ka-t.org and got shit from some people.i guess if you dont have a huge t4 turbo and a aem they dont like you.

but the why i fugured it i wanted to setup everything for when i build a engine all ihave to do is drop it in injectors better manifold and turbo and a tune and im set.

but we will see what this little t-25 can do with a haltech im sure im the first

and on top of that we will see how long this old ka lasts.

*NemeGuero* · 12-08-2008, 06:05 PM

Nice. I'm doing similar except keeping the small turbo after the build.
And not an E8. I wish though.

dirtdiggler666 · 12-08-2008, 06:14 PM

ya my plan as soon as the car comes back from the dyno to start building my other ka with all the goodies bla bla gt3071r bla bla. but i do not drive this car on the street my plan is just to track it. willow springs is about 15 min from me but tires are gunna kill me.

ill have some new pics up tomorrow night if i get time i only have a few day to get some shit done befoure its on its way to the shop.

tramp_drift240 · 12-09-2008, 01:57 PM

i wish i had the nads to jump up to coilpacks. looking very good though.

more pictures.

*NemeGuero* · 12-09-2008, 02:59 PM

Sweet. I'm rebuilding right now.

and collecting pieces.

dirtdiggler666 · 12-09-2008, 03:14 PM

cool shit well post up your setup or pm me

hows the snowboard stuff btw

TanaMU · 12-09-2008, 03:16 PM

wtf is up with the way you ran the oil return hose....?

dirtdiggler666 · 12-09-2008, 04:18 PM

well i was gonna run a t3 and a diff manifold but then i went with this setup so its kinda funky o well its really not that bad

exactly what i was thinking.

mothon · 12-09-2008, 10:04 PM

thats pretty much the same way i had to route mine when i was running a t25, never had any problems with it.

ryan hagen · 12-09-2008, 10:17 PM

the gaskets between the manifold and head you ll want to change to cometic steel or copper mr gasket, mine blew out all the time untill i switched to a metal gasket, same with the one between the turbo and manifold, i used the nissan oem t25 gasket becuase it was metal and it stopped blowing out.

importdude · 12-09-2008, 10:20 PM

u guys mean the drain?

yah i do mine over the mount also
almost same spot as in pic

isn't race gas bad for a daily driven car or something like that. cant remember what I saw concerning that.

dirtdiggler666 · 12-10-2008, 05:10 PM

its not my dd track only

race gas for a dd alone would make anyone broke but thank god a get a good deal on it

jholman05 · 12-10-2008, 05:19 PM

My ka-t with t25, sr370's, n60 mafs, and calum rt ecu put down 232whp, and 240wtq on 7.5 psi and the stock tune calum sent. I have dyno sheets and a thread over on ka-t.org same username if you want to check it out. I would go ahead and run coolant lines on the turbo. You can just take the ones off the intake manifold that heat the throttle body. Run two rubber lines to the turbo then use the stock sr20 coolant lines, cut the ends off that run to the motor. Using a brake line bender bend the lines to however you need them then hose clamp. This is how mine is and everything runs fine.
