Re: Thinking about getting a billet FCW for my KA..

Do you guys think that we can benefit from a crank shaft like this? http://www.par-engineering.com/images/crankshafts/crank4cyl.jpg ABSOLUTELY YES. If they make it stock stroke, that would be REALLY nice to have available for the Ka market. Wow, explain to the guy first that the Ka community is a b...

You dont need a custom turbo.

One of your best options for 380 hp and under is a t3/t4 50 trim .48 ar stage 3 turbine.

For 450 and under, go with a .63 ar housing on the same turbo.

Anything higher than that and you should get a Borg Warner or something.

Sava, the ignition system on the Ka is painfully simple. Do your basic tests and check the whole system out.

The internal coil on the S14's are pretty bad ass. There is no reason to go with an aftermarket coil at all.

Just get a BAS if your really worried about it, or gap your plugs down. Otherwise your pissing in the wind.
