Whats the deal with the PCV hose, I likey. It looks like cotton braded hose or something? It's black braided hose from Summit Racing...connects both valve cover and PCV outlet (straight fitting) to a 2-port Moroso vented catch can (baffled) Very clean setup. I love seeing quality work. Interior loo...

honestly you cant say 23 psi is to much when it depends on the tune . Tune is everything to a engine + i run methanol injection... It is too much on 93 octane along unless you: a) like having an air gap between your head and your block b) like running single digit timing but now that you mention yo...

dude, 23 psi on 93 octane is WAY too much...that head won't hold long on the block at that level...you won't see too many KA's making 600 whp at 23 psi...

guys, call Rick at Import DPS to get pricing on their sleeved block program: 215-227-6000

i could just toss in another stock block and roll the dice.. but that would suck if it cracks again. Like i said im not the first guy to crack one. making 70-800whp on the dyno is one thing.. but to have the car in that power band for the whole 1/4 mile is hard on it. I completely understand your s...

Brad, will you be street driving your car any? If not and you are all 100% drag, then I was going to suggest just hard-blocking (grout filling) your engine (even without a sleeve)...that should be keep the cylinder walls durable under extreme pressure...but then again if it's a street car, then you'...

don't switch motors...the RB26 has inherent design flaws (as I'm sure you know) that you'll have to accomodate for when building a motor for this level too...and when it comes down to it, the KA setup will be cheaper in the long run. i'm wondering if yours was just an isolated problem or if your cyl...

that's right...ah ok...probably Arias .020" if you got it from AMS

NPD, what modern "smart" ignition coils (S2000, 350z, etc) would be long enough for the spark plug holes and would offer the best fitment and hood clearance? I can't remember exactly, but you tapped your valve cover or welded on a plate to secure your coils in place right?

Brad, was that with a .020" overbore?

I've used many different platforms from JWT ecu's, tuned on piggyback systems like Greddy E-Manage, tuned w/ AEM standalones, and now Nistune - for 90% of the builds on this forum where the end user has some knowledge of tuning, it's definitely the way to go...nothing better than sticking with OEM h...

i still have the other S14...it's got a new 10 pt cage in it, parachute mount, etc...just need some extra funds to finish building the motor since i had to yank the motor to use for my daily driver S14 (i bought the car with a blown motor)...and to answer above, that's the car that gets the GT42R

Brad, how about both? Ivan swears by the L19/H11 alloy 11mm studs...and he was pushing further into 800+whp at the tail end of the car when he was doing 158mph trap speeds and said the head wasn't lifting at all.

which meth kit are you going with? some of them have an external wire/ground that can be used to trigger a solenoid or could possibly be wired into your AEM as an input. That would probably be more reliable than AEM depending on the data/temp from the AIT sensor to dish out more timing/less fuel to ...

Hey something I think you might want to know I just found out today. Not sure how your fuel lines are run and where your fuel filter sits, but I was changing mine today and apparently the s/c heat can really tear up those lines. Mine were cracked to the point of leaking fuel! And I had just replace...

good for you...i love turtles

Is that intake pipe the 'new' on that I have been hearing about? Looks really really good. Is that valve cover from your turbo car or did you have another sprayed? this is the first version of the intake pipe...it is in the process of being hard piped all the way to the supercharger inlet...i'll ex...

Looking good, you've been driving that thing for a while now haven't you? Glad to see it holding up good. Having that low end torque sure is good for the daily stop n go traffic lights. Yeah I've had it since last September I believe. I've made significant changes to the car including tuning, wirin...

here's some photos of the setup so far...i'll be cleaning up some of the wiring, installing top feed fuel rail soon as well as powder coating the intake manifold and other things. Photos of the exterior to come as soon as it's freshly re-painted. For more on dyno numbers from late last year, visit t...

i've toyed with the idea on my daily driver supercharged KA but what always holds me back from doing it is the reliability of the system depending on the route you go....these M62 superchargers create some awesome response and power down low but along with it the inevitable problem of controlling th...

Is the ECU throwing any codes? (you can read the bulb sequence directly at the ECU) So are you saying it runs good once the engine warms up? do you have a wideband on the car? if so, what afr's is it idling at after you fire it up? this will help us diagnose if it's just running too rich at idle for...

It might be a little off topic but I can't locate my consult port on my 95 KA also my cigarette light fuse burned out because of my GPS and I can't locate the fuse either. I want to be able to scan the Jim Wolf ECU using a Solus.BTW I don't have my crank agle sensor hooked up and I been having cold...

that sucks that they skipped out that much in the casting....so much for the universal rule of thumb in engineering/machining of thread engagement vs bolt diameter

Not many people know that it is a re-packaged Cometic headgasket.

what kind of timing numbers are you running in wide open throttle from full boost to redline?

I'm assuming the NGK equivalents are the same over there, but I would definitely use a minimum heat range 7 plug for what you are doing...6 is too "hot".

sounds like you got the correct mechanical parts to keep the head on the block under ideal conditions, but even beyond that, you can still have head lifting if you are running too much timing, have lean spikes, not enough octane, too hot of plugs, high IAT's, heatsoaking, etc. How is this thing tune...

the ID of my Q45 TB to around 83mm at the flange side

the "ebay" unit I was talking about that shared the same bolt pattern as the Q45 throttle body was made by "KU Engineering"...it had a blue anodized finish.
