Re: ka-t wont run

Ok, before you started this build? Was this engine in good running condition? Whats the milage? Compression / Leak down results? Age of sensors, harness plugs and wires? Whats the condition of the vacuum hoses? Ignition system? Timing both cam and base set right? Exhaust system, no leaks? I only ask...

Re: Battery tray cutting for cold pipe

4" saw is what I used, then sanded, and treated with Por-15/paint, used a car door edge "bump" guard to line it.. Larger holes helps to clear clamps, couplers, and wiggle the pipe in & out.. Take care and beware of that battery tray area, and drivers side cuts, those are famous ru...

Re: Wastegate won't stay closed.

This is a famous problem with custom set ups.. I have ran my pressure source lines from after throttle body manifold ports, never gave me a problem... There is a pressure drop with intercoolers from ebay/china... Did you do a boost leak test? Pressure test the wastegate also... Check the spring too!...

Re: INFAMOUS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

Should be on the rear, left side/passenger side (looking in) of the engine.. A small stack of vac hoses leading from the intake manifold to three sensors will point you in the right direction. Its a strange looking Map sensor, mounted under a plate.

Not sure if S14's use the TPS as a idle switch also... But on S13's the idle switch signal will cause weird idle and low RPM bog if n...

If you suspect the TPS check voltage to FSM specs, sounds a bit like harness trouble if vac leaks check out good.

Re: two different size feed line holes. what do i do?

All my Turbonetics had oil restrictors built in, if thats what you mean? Some also have filter screens. On my last set up, I simply removed it, and added a aftermarket plate and restrictor minus the screen. Id really call them to ask though.

Re: BOV Questions

NGR Type-S blow off valve. Solid, leak free, no hassles for me. Had a genuine type s, and RZ, this in a performance and lasting aspect beats it by far. Blows off with just 12-19 vac, but wont leak during idle. But as with any blow off, it has a sound that you may or may not like.

Re: slow boost/ not holding boost

When mine did that, it was a bad turbine shaft. No smoke, no strange sounds, just lower boost here and there. Look from the downpipe side in the turbine, use a flashlight, look for scraping. But yeah, hopefully a boost leak for you.

Cxracing made some pretty cool parts for going turbo on Frontiers. Also a nifty cap to make custom intakes on the strange intakes we have. I say, piece it together using some of the parts they have, with additions to a good solid turbo and a tune!

Re: 93 ka-e hardbody, no CEL baffler

Check everything on the ECU/check engine light circuit, look in the fsm for a diagram to help trace it. Ive never heard of a ECU that gave problems this way but better to not rule it out.
