This is a really excellent post, i loved reading through it, whether it be in the U.S. Or the U.K. the questions are always the same.
How much will it cost to get my Motor to run ... so and so Whp. What parts can i get cheap that do the job.
Simples, cheap parts do not achieve the aim unless you are lucky enough to be in the trade and someone needs the money desperate.
Ebay Turbo's $200 etc are **** and should be left well alone, also the $500 turbo kits ....
I personally have a KA24DE in my Mini Van and i opted for the Greddy 240SX kit, I ended up only using the Fuel rail
I read alot of posts on here because i am still finding good information and some differences between the U.S. KA and the JDM Largo KA engine. For instance you run the dizzy of the front of your engines using the worm gear on the chain pulley where as mine is running off the rear.
The front covers on mine are different to yours, i had to chop the top cover in half and weld it to the U.S. Bottom half.
Our inlet manifold is a 4-1 branch manifold and yours is a single collector and drops down into the head.
So far i have completed the first mapping session and achieved a good result, I am looking at achieving 550+Whp on the next session.
My setup so far:-
Fully forged(Eagle,CP)
Headwork
BC Cams
Rc 750 Inj
Greddy Fuel Rail
Fuel Lab Reg
One off Exhaust Manifold
Garrett Gt 30-76R
Precision Turbo 46mm External Wastegate
3" exhaust Turbo Back
2.5" -3" FMIC
AEM Series2
AEM Water Meth
AEM IT Sensor
AEM 3.5 MAP
Greddy Boost control
And much much more, The down side to the above setup is it cost me $20K+
It is the only KA24DE-T Largo in the UK, possibly the world.
Please keep the good posts coming fella's you have been invalueble to me.
Cheers
