Looks great.. well done

[bottlefed97]

The quality of this build is incredible, nice work. I just went through your IG and fell in love... would trade my Z in a heartbeat for this.

UPDATE!

finally dynoed...

Got up friday morning and make the 2hr drive to the tuner. Got there changed out my plugs went over the car and strapped her on to the dyno. The tuner Jeff evans he was pretty happy with the setup and how quick the response is with the turbo. He dialed in the 2000cc injectors perfect at idle afrs are right around 14.3-14.8, idle is at 1200 due to the fact that i do not have iacv. Did a few low power pulls off wastegate..

Right off the bat with some minor w.g. creep to 18psi (holding 15psi creeping to 18psi) at redline (7200) care made 430whp.

After realizing i forgot to install a boost solenoid and taking some time to wire one in we were back on the dyno.. We have to stop at 22psi because we were reaching the limit of 93 and my stock cam head -___-. So on a very conservative tune with ALOT more in it final numbers were...

502WHP/428FT/LB.



you can see the power band is very linear. The motor has alot more in it the setup wants to keep going but I seriously need to do some major head work and switch over to e85. The tuner feels like after I do this and switch to a z33 trans we can possibly touch 800whp.

Anyway on to some pics.. BTW can someone post the Vid for me I dont know how.. here is the link:

All and all im very happy with the car and its performance. Its a blast to drive very fun. very easy to control and feels very strong up top. I cant wait to keep going forward with the car.

Some snap chat fun...

Awesome results Drew! Not only is the car a beauty she is also a beast. And kuddos for sticking with KA power.

[MikeisNissan]

Ka-t never die. This car is legend status.

[rbs14kouki]

Great numbers .... men i love the torque of the Ka

What adaptor plate do you have for the ka to vq swap

[turbo2nr]

Thanks,

i plan on running the maverick Motorsports adapter.

This winter is going to be very busy with building a head and tending to the transmission.

[greenmachine300zxtt]

sick build, if i have to redo it all over, would have done it your way instead of RB25 route. keep it up.

[spooled240]

I'm a little confused with your powerband. Usually ka-t's with a stock head and cams will see a power drop off around 5600 rpms, but yours keeps building after that.

Could it be that intake manifold? Or were you experiencing a continuous boost spike to redline which kept building more hp?


Great looking car/setup as always. My car wants to be like your car when it grows up lol

[turbo2nr]

^thanks man, I was also pretty shocked to see the car making power up to redline even tho the head is stock. I know I had a tiny mount of creep but i dont think it was enough to keep the power up. If i had to guess I would say it is the effectiveness of the setup. Ither way I cant wait to re-do my head and address my trans and hit the dyno in spring again for an e85 tune and hopefully 700+whp

[R3b]

Those numbers and band are really clean! You should do a write up over at ka-t.org. Everyone there would flip at those numbers.

Any plans for the rear end once you get it up to 700whp? If you look up vrfabrications, they have a ka-t drag setup with 9k rev limit ka24e. I messaged them awhile ago if they can do some headwork like that more my DE and they said no problem. Ka's arent very rev happy motors so a nice little head would do wonders.

Do you have an aftermarket harmonic balancer, like an ATI super dampener? I know those will eliminate some hp-robbing vibrations that the stock crank likes to generate at higher rpms.

[KAT-PWR]

Only rev'd to 65 that and creep are probably why it didn't drop off although the short piping probably helped. This is the .82 hotside right? I'm curious how my hx40 will compare to this. 264's really made a big difference for me.
Solid numbers, as i told you i'm a huge fan!

I dont but the motor was balanced to 9k on the stock dampener. I plan to eventually get one as I go further in the build.

Im actually running a twin scroll 1.06 back housing on the turbo, I didnt want to choke it up since Im actually running a 40r wheel in the front, I know my turbo is kind-of a mut. It was custom built by pureturbos. Im curios to see what power it makes once the turbo is actually in efficiency range.

Im thinking about ditching my bc264 for some kelford 272 since I plan to go all out with the head.

Any thoughts on over sized valves for the ka? Is it worth it, I've read a lot of different things. I know with some motors it can lead to more lag.

Great update on this build thread. That's decent power right there on pump.

FYI I sent you a pm.

[ehhhregartless]

I'm not surprised that Evans Tuning worked his magic. I've been there a few times and i don't know of anyone that has something bad to say about his work. I'm looking forward to what's next.

[smellslikecurry]

This car is beautiful like its owner.

[turbo2nr]

It was a good season time to put her down for the winter.

hopefully ill be updating with the progress with the built head/ new brakes/ 1.5lsd and new wheels that fit properly.

now a few pics :




My wing is very functional as you can see:

[mugenjibz]

In for new wheels that fit properly.

[vJilly]

I know I'm late but how did the rack bushing cause a power steering leak? one of mine is gone (havent gotten to address the issue yet) and leaks like crazy on that side.

[tuzzio]

Curious if you could PM me screen shots of your dwell settings and such for the LS coils on your AEM.

[ehhhregartless]

What's going on in the back?

No my leak was caused by a bad o-ring when installing the s.s. line into my rack.

I will try next time i plug it into my computer

Just normal 2jz thangsss

havent made any progress with the car this winter, funny as you get older you have less and less time for hobbies... I barely even drive her anymore.

Hopefully soon ill get back into the swing of things with the car, OR sell her and buy a fd

[2muchboost]

Nice....too bad Mikey from M&S is gone but his crew knows their ish when it comes to the 2J.

You hit the nail on the head....turning 32 this year I barely have time to drive the cars. Picked up a Kouki in early Jan and have put about 85 miles on her total lol. Thats what I used to put a day when I had more time.

[turbo2nr]

no real updates, except I blew up my ka trans now I need another one
havent had any time for this thing.

Pictures don’t work, thought you were running a z32 Trans?

[turbo2nr]

Still running a Ka trans, but it was at its limit, one hard shift from 2-3rd on 25+psi and 3rd gear deiced it had enough -_-

Not really looking to spend more money into the car as of right now, so going with another stock trans. To get me through the summer, then I can put the car in storage in the winter and address the transmission correctly.

Damn I didn’t know you were on the stock trans

I’ve broken a couple at 400hp

Output shaft that is

But now I went with CD09 & Mavericks plate

Aiming for 800-900hp on new setup

[turbo2nr]

So new version coming soon car is off to the shop for another round of mods, here is whats happening:

Fix transmission
kaaz 1.5 install
Evo/z32 brake setup
painted hood
Uras grill install

and just a good once over the whole car, turned out one of my diff bushings were busted, my engine mounts were loose, and most crazy 1 side axle only had 1 bold let in it, seems like the rest of it vibrated off, very scary.
