My KA24DE(t) build

[unpaintedhatch]

I am in the middle of building my KA24DE(t) here are some pics i am no good at telling stories...
Here are some pics of parts i have got so far.
First is my Wiseco 90.5 mm pistons and Eagle H-beam connecting rods

My KA24DE which has been honed with a torque plate and x-rayed for cracks i went .060 over all freeze plugs replaced and hot tanked.

I will be using ARP 10mm headstuds and a Cosworth MLS headgasket.

Here is a pic of my turbo manifold and Synapse wastegate.

I will be using a Holset HE341 for temporary when i get enough funds for a GTX3076r.

I will be using a Precision intercooler with v-band flanges.

And i have always wanted these pedals i realize it will add alot of complexity to the build but i am not afraid of work!!

My fuel set-up is an AEM top feed fuel rail with Siemens 850cc injectors and Aeromotive A1000 which i bought for a good price overkill yes!!


My fuel lines and Radium fuel regulator and fuel rail set-up roughdraft.


And the seat i will be using is the Corbeau FX1 pro with Nagaisa low seat rails.

Had my front end tubbed or whatever it's called.

Here is my intercooler piping set-up just need to get me a TIG welder.



I also got the Xcessive KA to VG trans adapter kit.

Pics of the kit installed.

I am copying my build thread from another forum because i am lazy.
Update got a few more parts.
I decided to order some 4 inch oval exhaust piping i want ground clearance.

A Mishimoto Radiator.

And some 16 gauge aluminum intercooler piping.


I started on my wiring i need more shrink wrap and pet sleeving.

I ordered a set of Deutsch DT series connectors the stock connectors were broken and it makes no sense to keep em in that pitiful state.

Test fitting fuel rail and injectors and ev1 clips out of boredom.

Still waiting for the following: Works bell hub adapter, Works bell rapfix GTC pop-up steering system and Aeromotive 15 Gallon Stealth Fuel Cell.

The Works Bell Hub and Rapfix GTC flip up steering system showed up today still don't know if i want a 330mm or 350mm steering wheel?

A pic of Hub and pop up hub installed

And the Aeromotive 15 gallon Stealth fuel cell with 340lph built in pump also arrived.


And i found a few firewall grommets to safely run my wiring harness through, I might pop-rivet these later?


Update i changed my mind on the Fuel Cell skeleton was way too heavy so i simplified it.

With my Hobart Handler 140 Mig welder and chop saw i love welding!!


Found a shop called EMS powered who welded my -16AN fittings onto my radiator and intake manifold and water neck they did a good job and were easy to deal with i am happy with the work.
Water neck.

Intake manifold.


Found me a turbo it's a Borg Warner/AGP s200sx .63 AR housing with 3" V-band


Ordered a Canton billet remote oil filter



Small update, since i am waiting for the roll cage and other work to be finished i ordered a few things.
Corbeau Forza Sport seat.

Synapse Diverter Valve

300ZX N/A Speed sensor with new gear.

[unpaintedhatch]

Many updates
The Fab shop got a few things done.

Got rid of the catalytic converter hump.

Bottom mount KA turbo manifold

AN fitting for valve cover

I wanted something different and dig floor mount throttle pedals so i bought a joes racing pedal setup.



Ordered a universal aluminum dash and had to trim a few pieces to get it to fit, but its in and ready to go.

Installed and ready to go kind of.


Installed some Tilton Reverse mount overhung pedals, I am looking forward to dancing on these mofezzies.

Installed


I went and bit the bullet and ordered a few items.

AEM EMS4 with universal wiring harness.

Racepak IQ3 Diplay dash.

Ordered 3 latching buttons for my lights,wipers and hazards.


1 set of rear z32 brakes, which i still need one more set for an ebrake/drift locking duties.

Aerocatch 3's for my front bumper, not sure if it's gonna work?

Competition clutch White bunny 6-puck clutch kit, which i ordered from Ken at Enjuku racing these guys are awesome!!
http://www.enjukuracing.com/products...de-6-puck.html

Well after some time i got the vw jetta 1.8t coil to fit into the KA valve cover.



Fabbed up a mount for the AEM EMS unit.




I got around to welding a innovate wide band onto the down pipe.

Cleaned up the piping and drilled hole for the bung.

Welded the bung i enjoy welding.

All finished and ready to go back into the engine bay.

Hey man, nice build so far. Do you mind taking some more pics of the pedal mounting setup? I may be looking at some of these pedals in the future, I dig it.

oh damn, i knew i saw your build somewhere else when you texted me that link to your other build thread haha. Love the build. Your ideas and design on your build is on the same wave length as mine, just different chassis/ engine. I hope to get motivated again once the temps come down. subscribed

[Ronald_Mcdonald]

Are you planning on bracing that manifold? Looks like a lot of weight hanging off of that thing.

Build looks pretty proper so far, man!

Yes sir i am thinking of using an engine torque brace but keep it hidden.

Wow, I definitely never expect KA-T builds to be this cool. Keep it up, I'm looking forward to seeing what this thing does. Where did you order those light-ring buttons from?

Thanks it's money that is holding me back as of right now.

v-band on the intercooler with no o-rings won't seal properly I believe. Look into wiggins clamps if you want a v-band style.


Where did you get that kit of connectors from and how much was it?

[RalliartRsX]

[unpaintedhatch]

To mount the pedals, i had some square tubing i forget the size i also used a hole bit and cut it so it would sit flush with the roll cage tubing and welded it.

I will try to get some pics later.

I am in the process of shrink wrapping the wiring harness and installing harness to the motor.

I am hoping to use the J30's vacant ABS mount for my vehicle speed sensor using a Honeywell GT101 hall sensor.


The Honeywell sensor seems to be a good fit now it's on the getting it to read the correct signal?

I am planning on using dual z32 rear calipers one for brake and other for lock up duties, I used two separate S13 brake lines just mirrored them all the way to the rear.

[unpaintedhatch]

Small up date found some 4 inch Weld on seat mounts and used them to connect my rollcage to the aluminum dash.
I stopped by my favorite shop Foddrils motorsports and picked up two 4" Weld-on seat tabs

All welded up and good to go.

looks good keep us informed
