lol i agree man. Thats pretty sick. Not too many people supercharge the KA, but seriously, it's got the low end grunt you already feel, plus the supercharger... Its made of win.

SimpleSexy180 · 12-11-2009, 03:35 PM

This peaks my interests. I'll be checking this thread for numbers. If it looks pretty good, i seriously wouldn't mind SCing a KA.

nissankat · 12-11-2009, 04:11 PM

I'm loving the build. It came out great, I cant wait to go for a ride in this thing.

Id do the same if you get good numbers.. ill even be building up a s chassis very soon! cause of this!

nice job bro!

Shadowhunter · 12-11-2009, 04:26 PM

I'd love to see some final and tuned numbers off of this. From viewing previous S/C threads the numbers are always disappointing. I'd love to go S/C but my Hp/TQ goals are 300-350 to the wheels and I have not seen one of these S/C projects get anywhere near there, but who knows with good tuning it may be possible.

Without an intercooler I'd doubt that this supercharger is capable of more than 230-240 hp.

I didnt really choose to go supercharged to make big power though. Honestly I just thought it would be a cool project and something different than the average turbo set-up.

run E85 no IC necessary, should be good for another 20whp with the timing advances etc.

Im right there with you man, but dont worry it only means you are doing it the right way

trust me lol

*ManoNegra* · 12-11-2009, 05:10 PM

heat soak from the SC is typically what limits power on this projects
from what I've noticed and gather from talking to people
the lay of the set up on DOHC is both an advantage and a limiting factor

For sure man, the response of the S/C is mainly why I would want to do a project like this. At the same time I want my car to be competitive in the events I take it to and that's why I Have set a goal of 300-350whp. If I thought it was possible with a S/C KA setup I would go S/C all day. Possibly finding a pulley that can upgrade the S/C to produce more boost may get the numbers up there and for sure an intercooler will help. You can try to pick up a godspeed intercooler for cheap on ebay. Good luck and can't wait to see the results!

thrax · 12-11-2009, 05:24 PM

Good thread. That's the best attitude, to make the part your self when you feel you need too.

fcdrifter20 · 12-11-2009, 05:31 PM

cant wait to see the numbers on this thing. great job

IHasLongTorso · 12-11-2009, 06:01 PM

e85 isnt that available and it uses about twice as much as 91 yeah you get more power and you run waaaay cooler but an intercooler setup would be ideal. then if thats not enough and its only a track car. then id say go e85. I was thinking though wouldn't it be better to run an m90 for higher boost because after all boost is resistance and the m90 would have to spin slower to move the same air to get the same resistance making the same boost? and with a supercharger slower means less heat and more efficient. But after all this is all of the top of my head and i could be wrong. lol. What do you other guys think?

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 12-11-2009, 06:10 PM

this is pretty cool. you could probably have someone write the CNC code for those brackets in an afternoon and make some money.

drift_limo · 12-12-2009, 01:50 AM

nice set up..

mrchomponthis · 12-12-2009, 02:03 AM

If i had a ka i would totally run this setup.

Nezahualcoyotl · 12-12-2009, 02:21 AM

i like the low growl of the exhaust note. put out a group buy...
where do i send my money?

WagDatto · 12-12-2009, 03:28 AM

Glad someone out there did it and finished! Mine is still on-going... I refuse to finish it without all the proper paint and powdercoating done, so I'm just waiting on money....

The real thing to think about is... Do you really NEED much more than 250hp at the wheels? For most of you guys drifting with SR's, you're running about the same power with no issues. Obviously as you up the level you compete at, you'll need to up it... but for a reliable, daily driven, street car that can go out there and hang with the rest of the kids on the track, why not?!

Plus, if/when the motor fails, you're out $400 for a new one, haha!

Kougeki · 12-12-2009, 03:40 AM

Imma book mark this page for future reference. Great build, and I hope you get it running to your liking.

out of a balanced little import, no, you definitely don't.
now, if you're just trying to blow the doors off anything that tries to keep up with you from stoplight to stoplight, that's a different story. but that's not what our cars are for.

Otto347 · 12-12-2009, 04:24 AM

Fucking killer price for your setup!

that whole, "do you need" hp statement is always dangerous on here.
Most of these people think they do, lol.
and shit,
Your giving these guys to much credit.
Most SR's on here are between 180 -200 HP, lol.

Grantspec · 12-12-2009, 09:25 AM

Thanks for the props everyone. I want to look into running the m90 charger down the road. But honestly when I want more power than the m62 will make I will probably go ls1.

Thats exactly why I love the KA. I recently bought a KA for 60$ with a fidanza flywheel. hahaha That motor is currently on stand-by in case this one lets go on me.

WagDatto · 12-12-2009, 09:52 AM

With your tensioner setup, do you think you'll have any issues throwing the belt? It looks a little scary with those two skinny rollers pinching it together... That's exactly how I plan on making my tensioner, though, because it puts the most pressure around the boost pulley. If the belt doesn't slip, you end up making at or just under 10psi, from what I've seen from other people's threads.

I don't think it will throw belts but I did notice that the alternator was squealing a bit when I would blip the throttle with the lights on and the e-fans running. The alternator has a lot less belt wrap now. The belt is already pretty tight.. Might be able to get it a bit tighter though.

Yeah, I actually live by Waterford. It's maybe 20 minutes up the 417. Just let me know. I have a decent set of tools at the house if you need a garage too. I'd like to check this thing out.

Bushido · 12-12-2009, 10:36 AM

get this thing on an dyno and get some numbers...

hmmm, SC KA or KA with SR turbo bits??

S13 curtis · 12-12-2009, 10:54 AM

this set up makes more power than a T25 Ka-T and is more effecient. nice build

Mita Orange · 12-12-2009, 12:41 PM

Wow looks awesome, nice work. I'd buy a kit!
