Hey just bought a ka engine dirt cheap from a guy local here who blew his head gasket. When I took the transmission off i saw this https://scontent-a-mia.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t1.0-9/10423719_10203982970352510_242369129277899230_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/t1.0-9...

If you had a perfectly running ka before turbo I doubt your valve timing is off. I would start with good ol brake clean and start spraying around the intake manifold for leaks. I remember when i first went kat even the smallest vacuum leak caused all kinds of issues. Also double check ur maf wiring ...

it worked with great success! yellow map gas and big fn pipe wrench from home depot 20 bucks. worth every penny thanks for the tip

great ill give it a shot today, thanks for the help fellers

Hey im in the process of my build and Im wanting to go with AN lines for my radiator. So Ive got an xcessive manifold and as you can see in the pic the water outlet is threaded in. But from the inside you can see that they used paste for a water tight seal. I had numerous people with heman strength ...

Hey im finally starting my build which im going to post soon, but was wondering if anyone is running e85 with id1000s? I plan on making around 450-500 hp with a gt3076r. Curious to see what other people are making on e85 on their kas and what size injectors their using. Thanks

hey i just picked up an actual xcessive mani. heres a rough estimate i took for ya it has the q45 tb flange
11.75 inch width
14.25 length
4.25 height
hope that helps for whatever ya doin

OK So I am ready to send my head out which is already built with bc cams springs retainers and bigger valves. The only thing left on this head is it needs to be ported and polished. Now I was talking to a friend who was telling me that a port and polish is really not worth spending the money for a t...

yea prolly didnt seal had a 14psi spring in there hard to compress where its located. Guess its a 2 man job thanks for the input!

So I upgraded to a tial 44mm and the boost creep is gone! Rock solid boost level car almost feels faster or its in my head. Now ive got another question for you guys running vband wastegates. When I installed mine I did use the valve seat, When I start the car for the first couple minutes it leaks w...

get a set of gauges hook them up then post, maybe we can help

My ac blows ice cold even on the hottest days hear in florida. I have a top mount setup but im sure its still hot in that area. Having a fan on the condenser really helps too. I ran without turbo blanket or any downpipe wrap for months here and still blew ice cold. A good functioning compressor also...

^ hey thats some good info! i never had this prob w/ my previous turbo which was smaller. Im gonna try to upgrade then to a 44mm to help control more exhaust flow. see if that helps out with lower psi numbers nice to switch to to save some mpgs.....thanks

Hey reason im asking cause i have a fairly new 38mm turbonetics deltagate and a get boost creep after 10psi w/ 10psi spring. Jumps to like 13-14 and keeps climbing after about 5k rpms. Almost finished building my spare block wanting to push about 20psi. Just wondering if my wastegate is just junk, a...

so supa which route did you end up going?? did u have to machine your block and head again? use copper spray? was the cosworth 90.5mm work ok, if u used that one? just curious ready to put mine on just unsure of which route to go

i never really paid attention to it.... now i listen for it all the time! turn radio up works like a charm though

i like the idea of the t at the oil pressure sensor. i find it a pain in the ass to replace that sensor, with a t much more access and you can get rid of the plate. But i guess either way it works just fine

when rebuilding the bottom end do you guys also by the idler gears/ oem cam gears too? is it necessary?

cant see any pics. copy image location from like facebook or photo bucket etc, click image button then paste address between it. Also u should probably wash the whole engine down first then recheck for leaks with car running.

no problems here i use sandwich plate with prosport gauge and oil feed to turbo. i read 20psi at idle when warm. Im pretty sure thats factory spec. I like prosport but they seem to go about every 2 years...

down here in fl after sitting in traffic for a while my engine started to get hot not over heat but gauge moved from middle. I used to not have a blanket and dp wrap. after blanket and wrap even after long driving and sitting in traffic temp stays good. def worth every penny

craigslist prolly ur best bet for decent parts/prices. also forums r great! Even better when people just want to get rid of their stuff

have u fixed this problem yet? with exhaust flowing a t25 its hard to believe its not building any boost.taking off that wastegate line should let u know if the turbo is good.

im assuming this s13 cause of 93 block? for sure I would swap out the cas with known good one. That gives signal to injectors.

Mine is kinda like that i have one line coming from under distributor and the other runs under the car. although one time some how it got a little loose and rubbed on my belt. i just cut off that section and reattached, been good for now. I just dont like it running like that, when i clean up the ba...

i had the same issue for a while..... trick was getting in spotless and the right size bead. dont go to big though u dont want that stuff dropping big chunks in your engine. wait half a day(little excessive but it leaked twice for me) start and drive for a few days recheck. u can do it!

sweet write up may have to do this to mine. i go through walbros like every 8 months

lol im down 90 + shipping.

maxima coils look factory on the ka! nice numbers

This was pic of my old setup https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/168493_1787220958220_804765_n.jpg Here is my new setup. I plan on cleaning up wires and engine bay after building it. Thats the newest cx racing manifold its got a lot of support bars for strength so far ive been happy with it ...
