I dont care what you make your header out of , you think it doesn't let heat in the engine? The best quality headers I have owned still burn your fingers when you touch it so Im not sure what you think wrapping headers is for? But it is not to strengthen the header. But arguing on the internet is l...

you dont need header wrap on that type of manifold or any manifold made of GOOD quality materials...!!

very well put... and another great quote from another fellow ka-t member...

Anyone can build power, but how long can you make that power LAST.....

I really really don't think i could ever see a t25 making 300. EVER. its just too small after about 13psi its just blowing hot air. the sr20 guys have done it...!! Hell, enjuku racing ran an12.6 on stock T25 turbo... Sure he had TONS of mods to support that turbo, but the turbo was the weakest link...

The guy is on crack, looking at his manifolds he buys ebay **** and re-welds the flanges at a better angle... well i didnt wana be the 1st to say anything but YES that is an EBAY manifold.... then buys an ebay turbo and tries to sell them for 680$ right again... and then proceeds to take stock ka o...

That was a great post. It kind of disappointed me because i am almost ready to install a cheap t25 setup with sr20 injectors on a 200k miles 1995 block LOL. It's almost hard to believe you had so much troble with a 95 block. I always tough all KA blocks are the SAME! there is nothing wrong with a t...

Seeing really hot egt's can be caused by lots of things...

i have the blue & i love it.... i have full control of fuel and timing...!!

Great post and it was needed for the NOOB's but most of us already knew this and we all know that TUNING is the most important part of an engines life... especially when we BOOST a motor that was not intended for boost by the factory hence the ring lands... With that being said, the stock block is v...

yep doesnt hurt to be safe. I guess I'll run stock timing to about 8 psi then back off 1* for every psi after that. I will have two boost levels tho 12 psi low (daily) and 15 hi. Yeah I was told we could prob do ~12 psi b4 having to pull timing... But I guess every motor is different so each tune w...

Hey bro I still havent made it to the dyno yet, I'm waiting on a set of ID 1000's to arrive. You spoke about keeping timing down, would *22-24 be a safe amount ? That's 4-2* below stock timing. I'm planning on running a max of 15 psi on a t3t4 50 trim turbo. to be really safe, Id pull back like 7 d...

I was thinking of using it for EGT since it should be the hotest cylinder on the car. It was just wierd to me that is came with a barbed fitting. i dont know of any other manifolds out there that come with those types of bungs or fittings on the #4 runner or any runner at all... EGT probes are old ...

I got an XS power top mount exhaust manifold and it has a vacume/pressure line hook up on it . Any know what is it used for? ahh, those those match up... an exhaust manifold wont have a vacuum or pressure port to it. i think that port that you are talking about should unscrew from that BUNG that is...

hmm
8.5 compression
370cc inj
12 psi... and 322 whp = ~385 crank hp....

Maybe timing was bumped up quite a bit..??

Let me repharse my question. If I want 350hp how big of an injector do I need while we can give you X injector size to reach your goals.. you can run a smaller injector and have fun with timing cause E85 apparently loves timing, and you can get higher numbers... So while you loose 30% of total hp o...

Enthalpy right now until I figure out WTH is wrong with my car. The best numbers I saw at 20psi were 297whp and 330tq. Somewhere in that range with the stock cams with detonation. Tossed the Kelfords in and still didn't break 300whp and my torque went down below 300, but I wasn't detonating so bad....

ahh not really sorry

Ok so I read this whole thread and from my understanding it is pointless to run anything under 1000cc's min injectors for E85. Why is that..?? Why can i not run anything smaller..?? Ok my question is what kind of horsepower am i looking at if I run the 565cc's that I have at 10psi, or do I have eno...

DeBoy wrote:found out my 90k original ka engine's compression is **** across the board at around 60-80 psi.

that low across the board and it runs..?? I had 2 cylinders that were at 60 psi (blown rings) and the idle was crap, it ticked, it drove like sh*t and smoked really bad under boost (the obvious)...

So let me ask you guys this... The local tire shops and or mechanic shops... what size guns do they use cause everytime i go to one, they never have issues yanking off lug nuts from any studs... They pull them off with ease... and they use the same guns to tighten those same nuts back up to the stud...

About the BOV...make sure it is getting a dedicated vacuum line from the intake manifold. If it is a T'd line to some other device it will not actuate as well. :twisted: while ur above statement is preferred, tee'ing off another true vacuum source will also work cause all my components are fed off ...

best way to check if its closing under boost?? simple.. if your running off the wastegate with NO boost controller, how much pressure were you running..?? Now since your blow-thru, do a few pulls in like 3rd gear and see what pressure level your at... If they are the same, then your bov is NOT leak...

my bov has two springs as well but ive never heard that theory before.. which one did you take out and whats the purpose? how does that make it recirc any better? yea i heard that same theory b4 on another forum..

Does your Greddy have a 2nd port on the middle section of it and it's aiming down..?

when my bov opens it shouldnt sound like a Train lol it should blow off "pshhh" not "chchchchch.." :) well you'd be surprised by how many people out there think that chchchch sound is their bov... And not knowing that it's compressor surge... Well according to that video, it's w...

alright so last night we hacked up the car.. now running blowthrough.. we plugged the hole on the comp housing and one hole on the vacuum block. (one hole goes to boost controller, one hole goes to bov and one is plugged) the hole in the piping that the bov flange was welded over was only like a 1/...
