as far as KA tranny VS SR tranny

they are identical. The only difference is the bellhousing.

clutches are NOT interchangable between the two motors though.

internals, shifter, etc... are identical

do you need the turn key ignition from a 5 speed? i notice that there is a release button for 5 speeds. im about to start sources parts, and its be thrown back and forth about needing the 5 sp ecu or not... Is it really necessary, or is it a simple plug and play matter versus rewiring and making you...

the only thing i would think would be the same differences as in the new ka's and the older ka's

drivetrain is obviously gonna be geared lower

im assuming thats with a rebuilt KA correct?

I searched everywhere, but couldnt find the answer.

So are they both a direct swap into the S chassis?

Just exploring ideas for a built KA, just in case u can find one cheap

what kind of fuel mgmt do you run? and how much boost and whp are you workin with

No, I'm not THE JDM RICE, just someone who also drives another very similar car :) Though, this setup is about my newly acquired S14 kouki The thing about boosting the current KA, I wouldn't want to rebuild it. I would just boost it as it is. If I did that, I really dont think 250whp w/ constant bea...

I'm still debating whether or not to go KA-T or SR. My SR proved to be very reliable even after hard beatings on it, especially from drifting. I'm looking for an equally reliable motor, but I would prefer to go KA-T, just for the sake of doing something different. My KA in my S14 has 61k miles, so t...

I've got an S13 redtop SR in my S13, and from eyeballing it looks like you can almost use the S13 SR hotpipe without any problems since the location looks almost exact, though it might be off a degree or two that way you can buy polished hotpipes with a bov flange already welded for those people who...

thats awesome, good numbers.

My buddy is running a similar setup, but making close to 260whp and using the just the S-AFC as his fuel setup

Great setup though.


Any problems with it whatsoever?

how much whp do think you're putting out with that t25 setup?

the GT2871R makes 350whp at 14-18 psi on SRs

I'm not sure how different it would be on the KA though

actually its quite simple you litteraly just unbolt the bell housing from the bottom half i took a rubber mallet and tapped it loose. Now all you have are tranyn internal parts. I did the same swap, except, a KA-E tranny internals into my SR housing Its easy. I recommend doing a clutch all at the sa...

The SOHC tranny should be fine. I'm almost sure they bellhousings are the same I did the internals swap from a KA-E to my SR tranny, the only difference was the bellhousing. I'm glad I came across this thread! I just bought a 97 SE, and I need to do the 5 speed conversion. I'm going to find out if a...
