If you bump up your idle to around 1k, a good amount of vibration will go away. (if you're okay with a 1k idle, which isn't bad) When you say runs rich 13.5 - 14.7 when exactly is it that on the wideband? (idle, cruising, in boost. also, what octane are you running?) From my understanding of tuning ...

No problem. I had a similar experience with bad/wrong nuts on my downpipe the first time. 3 of the 4 backed out on the highway lol

Is there a way you could get us a video of what your car actually does? and not what it sounds like. (Im not clicking the links of what someone else's sounds like, I only want to know what yours is doing) Do you have a boost gauge do confirm you're only running "maybe 7psi"? I personally w...

Gentlemen, ever gotten into a fight with your girlfriend and didn't know what to say for her to forgive you? Well, I have something that may help you out. I wrote this awhile back for a girl and I kinda surprised myself. It may also help you show your "romantic" side to hook up with a chic...

http://www.frsport.com/FR-Sport-Copper-Flange-Lock-Nut-8mm-x-1-25mm-Pitch_p_15671.html Reg nuts don't work too well for holding the turbo + downpipe. (for me at least) I used those or something very similar to these (link above) for my downpipe and they held great. Also, you need to heat cycle them...

I forgot to ask, what type of thermostat is it? Is it an OEM one or something from autozone or something of that nature.

Is the lower hose original? If it is, its most likely clogged. Replace it and I bet problem solved.

Dang can't believe you sold it, hope you have fun with the next project but I am sure you will be back :) I can't believe I sold it at times, but it was time for me to part with it. It was a fun project but I didn't want to continue putting money into it. Next would have been a built motor and more...

[quoteThanks shift, im looking into a TT 300zx right now. Keeping it Nissan for awhile ] TT 300zx are not cheap builds. Do you have any ideas what kind of build you are looking toward? My boyfriend has a TT 300zx that's been in the process of a RB26 (single turbo) implant. It's been an on and off p...

LOL yeah, its funnier that the guy hasn't driven a car in like a year and a half. His skill in driving is like a 2 out of 10. LOL but its not my problem now. Onto new projects for me though.

I've heard for journal bearing turbos -3AN line no restrictor -4AN with restrictor. I used a -3AN line with no restrictor on a t3/t4 50 trim and it was fine. That turbo is obviously bigger but I believe the same rule applies.

Sadly, after a 3 year run I sold my car 2 weeks ago. Took a video of it leaving, probably the last time it will ever sound like that. (He told me he'll probably blow the motor and replace it with a 1j later on.) He was nice enough to open the wastegate when he got down the to road though. On a good ...

New to forums just wondering if it would be safe to turbo a KA24DE with 140k miles with no rebuild? Compression test it and come back with the results. But fwiw I boosted a stock block that had 230k miles. Im sure your block would be healthier than mine was, make sure you get a good tune and it sho...

Synapse BOV for sure. The technology behind it is amazing. I had one on my old car, loved it.

Starting to learn towards shark a good bit. Ah idk... guess someone will buy the pig nose off of me. Btw mmmS13 what color is your car? Its black, a filter on instagram kinda messes with it sometimes hah. What you should do is paint both bumpers, make quick release/install tabs on both of the bumpe...

^My car, I like the shark nose as it makes the car seem a little more modern (sorta?)
Google Mobnes S13, he has a pignose and dam does it look sexy.

I have 2 questions,

1. What is your power goal?
2. What is the car used for? (street, drag, auto-x, drifting)

ATI 13-EZPOD-05 EZ Gauge Pod Dual 52mm

Thanks man, its a Greddy Ti-C. I like the way it sounds but hangs so dam low, I regret not doing a custom exhaust.

Hell yeah man im down. Just get your car running soon as the Navy is just around the corner for me.

Thanks guys, im really playing devils advocate with this setup but as my first car/project I feel I should push the limits of it and see how well it holds. I probably won't up the boost anymore as im still trying to figure out getting around star smog :tools-hammerdrill: which seems impossible at th...

How many of you guys daily drive your ka-ts? I gave my mom my other car, so I am stuck dding my kat, give me some reassurance that it will not blow up! I daily drove my ka-t for 9 months. It saw everything from 14 degree weather in MD to 90 some odd degrees in Cali. If all your doing is driving all...

where does everyone put their gauges? I see people use the steering wheel pod but I have 3 gauges and id rather not split them up. http://www.zilvia.net/f/chat/93275-picture-request-interior-guage-setups.html That thread should get you some ideas of where you could put them. Personally I have mine ...

Its just a basic garrett 50 trim .63 ar

Well, I've been away for a little while so I figured I'd update on whats been going on with the car and whatnot. So I finally fixed the idle by bumping it up to 1100 rpms. Now it doesn't stall which makes me a happy camper. :angelic-blueglow: Still running 16psi on the stock block :beer: :violence-r...

Congrats on getting her running!
Time for some

Its all good, this site is a lot better than others about making posts about the same off topic things. Like Zilvia for instance, there are constant links in threads saying it already exists. lol

Anyone use it? If you guys don't use it I'd say give it a try, they have really good filters than can make car pictures look 10x better.
If you've got IG post up your username and get more Ka-T followers.

So my yard used to be all weeds and stuff, then after getting all of that cleared out grass came. After my parents got 2 horses. that grass turned to dirt. Its about 2 acres and ends where the dead trees are (my neighbors don't take care of crap). We've got a horse ring and a barn for them, and I sp...
