Grantspec · 02-10-2010, 01:48 PM

Hello all, Thanks for the continuing interest. And I appologize for my lack of updates.

I got the car back from the painters 2 weeks ago and was pretty discouraged. It looks pretty good in the pictures but In person you can really see a ton of flaws.

Here is a pic I took when I first bought the car 2 years ago.

Here is a pic of the car as I received it from the painter:

The lack of updates has been due to the fact that the car is at my parents house and I go to college in a different city. As you can see I haven't even had a chance to put the blinkers and such back on.

I plan on going to pick up the car this weekend and bringing it to college with me. Keep your eyes peeled for some updates within the next week or so.

Thanks again!

-Grant

Nezahualcoyotl · 02-10-2010, 01:57 PM

looks very clean from the pic too bad it didn't turn out so well as you said...
looking forward to the end product

SDS13COUPE · 02-10-2010, 02:05 PM

Awesome thread. I've got my M90 supercharger that I'm putting on my SOHC. Hopefully I'll put together a build thread soon. Good luck with your setup.

sokodu · 02-10-2010, 02:42 PM

Not here to thread jack but that kit was also known as the "Thomas Knight SC Kit." Me and a few of my buddies ran it back a few years ago. Good kit, keeps the car looking stock which is really good for us here in Cali. I ended up selling my kit for $1800 without management so if you can get this kit together like he did, it actually ends up being pretty cheap. You can find the Eaton SC's on eBay for around $100-$150, either off an Xterra or Frontier. I actually made the cad work for all the brackets and adaptor plates...just haven't gotten around to putting them through my CNC machine...too lazy and sold my car so I lost interest but I just recently picked up another s-chassis so maybe it's time to bring the KA24DE-SC kit back to life!

you mean the thomas knight kit we have been talking about for 5 pages?....don't worry...you didn't thread jack....just looked like a noob.

^^ lol took the words right out of my mouth!

Persona · 02-12-2010, 04:55 PM

Be careful where you park that thing when you bring it to college man. If its anything like my university people just dont give a flying truck.

S14Serge · 02-12-2010, 05:42 PM

Supercharged KA ftmw!!! Really would like to see how the finish product turns out, something about superchargers that is really interesting to me.

Great build bro

MomentumGT · 02-12-2010, 06:19 PM

Guess it takes something original as this to bring an old timer back to Zilvia. Nice build. . . and very interested in the final numbers.

Hashiriya415 · 02-13-2010, 01:00 AM

How are you hooking up the IAC

Bushido · 02-13-2010, 10:24 AM

you don't go to college in gainesville do you?

nism014 · 02-13-2010, 11:57 AM

subscribed +1 for you.

what size are the mb battles you're running?

Grantspec · 02-13-2010, 12:44 PM

The battles are 17x9.5 +15's with 235/40's all around.

I go to college at UCF in Orlando. I wont ever park this car at my college. My friend has had 2 integras stolen right out of the garage at the college in broad daylight.. This area is really bad with car theft.

Thanks for the interest everyone.... Unfortunately, I was not able to make it home this weekend to get the car. My next couple weeks are pretty busy as well so there's no telling when I'll be able to work on this thing. Kinda frustrating.

S14Serge · 02-14-2010, 09:27 AM

Dang hopefully all goes well and you get to work on this beast pretty soon bro, can't wait to see some final numbers and good tuning so we can see what this can really produce....

hegamiz · 02-14-2010, 11:29 AM

Can't wait! this is something i'd definitely be interested in doing, subscribed!

fckillerbee · 02-16-2010, 10:35 AM

anyword on it this week? lol.....still sooo interested.

S14Serge · 02-16-2010, 03:03 PM

Yeah it's so sweet seeing the Ka taken in different routes to make more power!

More updates soon plz!!

Devil Man · 02-17-2010, 02:54 AM

yea post some updates on building a kit or something!!

Grantspec · 02-17-2010, 09:22 AM

Geeez okay already... haha

I plan on building 3 or 4 of these kits within the next couple of months and putting them up for sale here. The plates will be water-jetted and should be pretty quality... It will be on a first come first serve basis and I'm aiming for a price of 350-400 dollars for the adapter plate, tensioner, and intake pipe. Pretty much would just have to add the supercharger and fuel management.

I will keep everyone posted.

Devil Man · 02-17-2010, 11:14 AM

gahhhhh ok make sure you send me a pm when you make them!! try to keep it as cheap as possible! lol.

now i gotta sell my turbo stuffs. lol

P_856 · 02-17-2010, 12:30 PM

ill be interested in the kit too

KA_t FTW · 02-17-2010, 12:52 PM

As will I. Currently selling my turbo mani/dp to fund one of these bad boys....

mrmooseman · 02-17-2010, 01:08 PM

hey sick set-up and well done on the fab, just curious for your sake...does the supercharger have a 4 rib pulley...if so wont that give the belt play room to walk around during higher rpms?

Grantspec · 02-17-2010, 02:00 PM

The s/c pulley is 6 rib and the belt is 4 rib... I don't think the belt is walking around it is pretty tight. There doesn't seem to be any slippage issues.

AnotherZenkiKid · 02-17-2010, 02:14 PM

Its different and different is good

nice job mann keep it running strong!!
