Xclusive_racer · 12-16-2009, 11:19 AM

im not too big on using ka"s but "YO" this set up is the first one i have seen! But im just thinking that you should do your springs in the head....either way mad PROPS!!! hopefuly my q45 project goes on a cheap budget....LIKE I SAY "MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK" concept and this is a great example!!!!

KansaiDrifter · 12-16-2009, 01:18 PM

If you can get the parts cnc'd up I think you'd have a legit setup for sale and can run a production of them easily. Even if not, I'd still take a set!

s13 @ fullboost · 12-16-2009, 01:28 PM

Thats awesome I think Nistune Would be the best way to tune this Or even EMS when it comes to the KA but awesome job I really hope you do mass produce this kit.

Ivebeenconverted · 12-25-2009, 01:47 PM

Yeah i would deffinately be interested in a kit, where are you finding the superchargers at i havnt found any cheap ones?

lv240s14 · 12-25-2009, 02:00 PM

how much power is this thing going to make?

Best shit I have seen in a while by the way.

Gordo714 · 12-25-2009, 02:39 PM

clean set up..... cant wait to see some videos of that in the street/track
keep up the good work

s13pignose · 12-25-2009, 03:21 PM

Nice work, very clean setup. good luck with numbers

S14Serge · 12-25-2009, 04:50 PM

For the mother win? What?

This setup looks legit. Might be interested depending on what the kit looks like.

Slideurmom · 12-27-2009, 01:14 AM

I just picked up my sc this week .I just need to get the plate caded so I can get it waterjeted. You guys know anywhere to get it caded for a low price?hey grant why didn't u weld the holes around the inlet?.

Omarius Maximus · 12-27-2009, 03:19 AM

Awesome build. Thinking about adding a supercharger to supplement my too large a turbo that spools at 5k. Either a g-ladder from a g60 Corrado or an eaton off a mini cooper.....

sposa · 12-27-2009, 09:52 PM

how much hp would you be putting down with this kit?

chibo · 12-28-2009, 03:18 PM

I'd be willing to pay around $1000 for a kit like this with everything included...

Chibo... Did you used to have a supercharger kit? I forget who it was that first opened my eyes to it on here...

In any case, doesnt Thomas Knight sell his kit, minus supercharger, for around $1000? Or maybe he sells for $1800 and someone was selling for around $1000... In any case, Thomas Knight doesn't list the kit on the website, but does sell it to my understanding. However, many of the parts can be bought for much cheaper if you do it all yourself.

s13gebala · 12-28-2009, 03:55 PM

build that motor, keep the supercharger and add a turbo!!

some guy did it to his sr in japan, sickness.

Grantspec · 12-28-2009, 07:29 PM

I have been on vacation without much time to work on the car. The car is running relatively well. I am just starting to work on the tuning. At 4 psi which is what it runs with the bypass valve hooked up. It runs strong with good afr's. With the bypass valve unhooked it runs 10 psi but may be a little lean in places. I am going to work on tuning when I get back from vacation and will post some driving vids most likely next week.

Thanks for all the interest and kind words.

WagDatto · 12-29-2009, 01:17 PM

Good, glad to hear more people confirming 10psi! For a while, people swore by 7-8psi, but I think their belts weren't tensioned properly.

Twin charging the motor would be no bueno. Requires remote mounting the s/c, which is silly for the dual cam if you're going with a m62. BEE*R twin charged an SR, got something like 400hp from it or something... But the time and money you put into it is beyond retarded for the power. Why not just build a standard forced induction with turbo and get more out of it?

Grantspec · 12-29-2009, 06:57 PM

It definitly makes 10 psi. It seems to make about 8-9 psi as soon as you get on it then build to 10 as the rpm increases. Even at 2000 rpm when I would go 100% throttle it would instantly jump up to 9 psi! No lag at all. This car is going to be really fun to drive.

redhatchy92 · 12-29-2009, 11:06 PM

twin charge that bitch.... use the sc to spool the turbo quicker. building the motor internally might be a good idea though. that would make for one sick ka.imo

logik23 · 01-01-2010, 03:21 PM

I'd also pay 1000$ for a 100% complete turn key kit. I'd buy it right now!

I need something for this summer, 4 summers in a row with a stock KA is to damn long! I need POWER!! lol

ericcastro · 01-02-2010, 11:34 AM

what happens if you put SOHC pistons in the DOHC block and then do this??

I did the math when I was still thinking about doing internal work on the motor I'm building. With some sort of injection and proper tuning, you should have no issues tuning the setup to work. It does put you at the upper end of what people say is "safe" to tune, but should work.

I forget all the math they say to do, but taking the compression and 10psi and adding those into the equation, it said it was good to go!

I say do it, document it, dyno it and post vids!

spooled240 · 01-02-2010, 07:42 PM

wow props for trying something different, maybe I missed it but what are your power goals?

the response you're gonna have with that setup will definitely come in handy with autoX and drifting

M11's · 01-21-2010, 12:43 AM

any updates on this. hows the tune coming along, what did you settle with

Grantspec · 01-25-2010, 07:24 PM

The tune is coming along pretty well.. However, I won a free paint job at a car show. So the car has been at the paint shop for the last 3 weeks. I will post pics when I get it back this weekend.

Jsellers · 01-25-2010, 08:06 PM

Very Clever Son!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rabboni · 01-26-2010, 09:04 PM

Dude, this is awesome. If you get a pretty decent power gain on a budget like that then Im definitely considering this as a viable option. Are you tuning this yourself?

bigdreezy · 01-27-2010, 02:54 AM

yeah any chance you have the pattern for the plate that connects the eaton to the intake so i can just go get one cut

Grantspec · 01-29-2010, 10:39 AM

Yes, Im tuning this myself with a chipped ecu, tunerpro, and my wideband. Although, the car has been at the paint shop for over three weeks now so I havent been able to work on it at all. The car is drive-able at the moment just wouldn't feel comfortable flogging on it quite yet but its getting there.

I will post pictures when I get it back this weekend.

And no I don't have a pattern for the plate, sorry!

ka-titties · 01-29-2010, 11:15 AM

hey, really cool build dude. and the install looks really clean!
