Who knows, I'll be running 13psi daily, i just want a decent daily the n/a vg was too slow, and too annoying to work on.

Swap was really fun overall, as for the suspension swap, i'm waiting for the machinest on that one, I have my coilovers out because I have custom top hats being made for them, so I have coilover camber adjustment on a 300zx! Other than that the rear is complete.

I'll have more pictures of my progress later today, I've only been working on the car for two weeks, so I can only work so fast.

[Weedm]

interesting indeed

[ATLspeed]

Its nice to see something totally out of the box. Its not a VGT/TT, VQ, RB, SR, 1/2JZ, LS......but....KA lol. its perfect too get all the "WTF ZOMG BBQ FAIL SWAP" ppl out to hear their nonsense negativity.

MORE PICS of engine in bay. Or the the s13 suspension parts on the z32

300 at the wheels, this isn't a race car, I have a car for that. I just want something quicker than the vg I had.

[JayDee M Rolly]

lol i had this in my mind a few months back

interested to see the finished product

[IIIXziuR]

Pretty interesting to say the very least.
Kind of cool though for sure!

[niSm095]

touche. well, keep posting up. i'm interested.

[Future_gohan]

I will, I've been doing little things to it the last few days getting it ready to go out the door for the first time. I'm still waiting on to buy a power steering line, the car is completely wired mostly, except the alt. and the fans, which i'm just wiring to a switch.

My gauges are wired and installed, almost done with the oil pan, and welding the diff and installing it tomorrow with the new drive shaft! Pictures to come

[Darkvillin]

im on board with this...very cool. my only nit pick would be the fact that i like that the vg is so much smoother, and far less noisy (timing chain) than the ka is....but im loving this idea completely. good gas mileage? cheaper parts? why did you put on s13 suspension pieces since the z32 stuff weighs less? just curious...

[Future_gohan]

No the front z32 stuff actually weighs a lot more. the rears I added 35 lbs but I also added a battery in the rear and deleted the abs control unit in the trunk. I think the added unsprung weight is a little better. Just my thoughts.

The whole point is for better gas mileage, easier to work on and far cheaper parts to to repair.


So far my diff is welded and in, i found out my custom driveshaft was wrong(the rear flange was in correct)

But finished the exhaust, tomorrow is the starting date!

[Okinawandrifter87]

You have our full interest and def are curious to see how it will turn out. Good job so far esp for being creative. Don't let us down, looking forward to seeing more!

[Future_gohan]

Haha don't worry i'm not here to disappoint. I'll hopefully start it tomorrow, i'm kinda curious how this ka will sound, This exhaust is pretty awesome.

[Future_gohan]

And plus I'm installing my wideband, and my new afc neo, and me and my friend are gonna go on a cruise and tune my car. It's gonna be awesomee!

[Okinawandrifter87]

Sweet see if you can get video clips too if possible!

[Future_gohan]

I will try my best too!

[Darkvillin]

for real, nicely done so far. keep it up and please keep us posted. show us some multimedia love! i wanna know how this warpig sounds too!

[daxnizmo]

Different is good.

[articdragon192]

You're running 6 bolt axles? Why?

[g35gabby]

very interesting.

is that cold pipe going to clear with the hood?

[Future_gohan]

I'm running six bolt because I'm using an s14 welded differential, not the 300zx Vlsd.

the hot pipe does clear, but not by much, I had no other choice with it.
