much , much quieter....!!!! :D also better for the preservation of your "underhood components"...... all the exhaust gases tend to rust metal parts faster than not...... if you want it really quiet you can run it into your exhaust, but it's easier to just run it straight to the ground........

once the old pilot bushing is out of the crank, just put the new one in and lightly tap it in with a mallet or a hammer w/ a cloth over it...... you don't want to damage the edge, and also make sure it goes in straight..... "that needle-like thing......" I think you're refering to the alig...

not sure about the wiring but the bottom radiator hose on the KA24DE does not have a water temp sensor on it.... I would just match the colors and leave the other 2 there, at worst case scenario you have to switch your connectors or jumper them..... trial and error, trial and error ........ !!! good...

main thing is they have a headstart on what does and doesnt hold up. exactly my point! 8 second SR's are fairly common these days because someone has already done the trial and error over the course of time....aside from the variety of parts available for the damn motor...... to buy an already turb...

there was a big "nissan" meet in south florida a few weeks ago, at markham park..... me and a buddy of mine decided to go out there, we thought maybe there would be some KA guys.....there were a few, but mostly SR ...... so we saw a group of people huddled around a gold fastback with an SR...

does it idle at all? even for a second?

to me it still sounds like timing, but i could definately be wrong......

someone else on here would prolly be more knowledgeable than I...

good luck.

In all reality, you can find out pretty much anything you need to know via the internet, it is a beautiful thing. Questions are nice, but research is a better teacher than any person on a messageboard. That's why countless hours of my time have been spent ADD'd out on the internet, with friends and ...

hmm..

check for spark
make sure distributor rotor is on correctly http://www.ka-t.org/distributorinstall.htm
any misfire ?...... out of curiousity..


it sounds like a timing issue, but i'm not sure....

anyone else wanna chime in ...

are ca18det 370's low impedance?? be sure these will work for you before you purchse, but i'm pretty sure they will.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSAN-CA18DET-370cc-TOP-FEED-FUEL-INJECTORS-LOW-IMP_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33554QQitemZ8055481789QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW and this should give yo...

i've never seen that turbo on a ka, but a buddy of mine had a 1.8t jetta making close to 400 to the wheels with that turbo..... spool up is pretty quick .... due to the ball bearings... post results in the dyno page after you are done with it, i'd like to see the outcome..... I just bankrupt myself ...

take off your oil cap, and see what the oil looks like........

does it have a sludgy, milky consistency?

Extensions and Swivels... I never appreciated a 3/8 swivel adapter until I swapped my tranny! Makes it super quick for getting to the top bellhousing bolts... other than that, I think all else has been said.... drain fluid use one of those super floor jacks if you have one, the higher, the better. w...

I like the feel of the OEM flywheel, but there's nothing like an aluminum. Though keep in mind, the less rotating mass, the faster rpm's rise and fall, to me, that's where driving gets fun! That's just my opinion, but I truly love my fidanza..... even better paired with an aluminum driveshaft... but...

sounds like a damn good piece of equipment to me ..... thankyou.

okay... thanks for the info... by the way, as far as you know, is it "from scratch" tuning (like megasquirt), or can you transfer over the stock maps and alter them...persay... a bit new to DIY tuning, but I have a good understanding of compression/combustion cycles, and I pick things up p...

I spoke with someone (overseas), I guess that's where the company is based... He said within a few weeks he should have a bunch of new boards, also with new features.... This is the new version they speak about on the website. ( boost control, turbo timer, solenoid switching ... etc. ) Does anyone h...

might I ask if that turbo is internally wastegated? If not, that is another area you do not want to cheap out. tial makes a good proven wastegate. could most likely get a used one for 150. 200 new. Also, not that it really matters so much at 7psi, but you may want to consider a z32 mafs. check your ...

i've had the same problem 1000+ times. check the distributor rotor. for some reason it likes to spin 180 off. fools the **** out of me sometimes. maybe clean up the contacts on the inside of the cap? another thing, after flooding the injectors, have you tried taking the spark plugs out, taking the i...

I would agree with coating the downpipe instead of wrapping it. As far as the brake reservoir goes, the mitsubishi eclipse uses a hose-type reservoir instead of a fixed position one like on the ka. This enables the reservoir to be moved as far as the hose can reach (about 4-5 inches). I tucked mine ...

I don't know about the enthalpy tuned ecu, but I do know what i've seen... On a stock motor, for some reason, the rings have proven afew times to go pretty quick. On my buddy's first setup, we used 370's, an safc, z32 MAFS, and a walbro 255. He made 394 ft. lbs. @ 14psi, drove it home from the dyno,...

that was basically already answered here, conclusion was.... the stock ka rods are fine as long as you aren't trying to boost 30 lbs. race duty... i would say go with crowers, but thats simply my opinion. good luck.

that sounds right. thanks cory. i will take this into consideration. block is being checked out. crank is being knife-edged, and treated. head bolt holes are being drilled and re-threaded for 11mm ARP's. arias 8.8:1 pistons most likely stock rods (shot-peened and reconditioned) clevite bearings come...

awesome thanks alot. yea. my power goal is 350 but i want super reliability, thats why i'm rebuilding fully. let me ask you another question... just out of curiousity, what oil would you recomend for a built ka... is it risky to run synthetic? before my rebuild i was ruunning 20-50, and of course wa...

What's up guys.. I'm working on a built ka-de, i've done a few friend projects with built blocks, and each time we used the stock rods... i've done alot of research on it, I already am pretty sure of what I'm going to use , but I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on each... Stock Rods: I've seen the...

i love my flywheel. period. a little sicker to get used to, but well worth it. my revs rise and fall so quick it's not even a joke. of course with an underdrive pulley and a lightened driveshaft as well. If you like doing sideways burnouts then my setup is for you. haha.
