d.p's 95 KA-T Build
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 1:14 pm
First lets start with a little background. I still have all my other 240s, the TT SBC S13 and The Vert, but when my friend (s14tan) said he was getting rid of his car I had to jump on it! His plans for the car was to drop the SR and build a badass KA-T. Well he got started on this, he pulled the SR and dropped in the KA. Well I guess some stuff came up and then he got his priorities straightened out a bit and decided to get out of the 240 game for a bit.
When I got the car I found a few things that needed to be fixed before I even took it home. Car needed a battery, some chewed up wiring fixed, and some grounds that needed to be re connected. I added some fuel and found out that the tank has a massive crack in it and the lower timing guide broke. This wasn't going to stop me from getting the car home though.
Well I had some parts originally for the vert, but they got donated to the S14. First off the wheels were swapped over and I lowered the car more and rolled and pulled the fenders. I then took a long hard look over the vert and realized that the KA-T setup needed to go onto the S14. So I took it apart and remembered that I had a pretty beffy ram style manifold from an old S14 with a KA-T.
I know I may not seem to care about the looks of my car, but I wanted this on e to be a little better than all the other 240's that I've owned. I added some ricer stuff o make the car a little more me lol. I added kouki skirts, roof wing, and took off the se spoiler.
Okay back to the motor. I had been lurking on here for a while and decided to start asking questions about things I needed to complete the setup before I started. I slowly bought some more stuff for the car that I felt was necessary for the setup (MAF, Injectors, JWT, etc..)
Here is now.

Topspeed Pro1 was a sponsor for my S13 and decided to hook me up with some parts to test out on this car.
So far I have pulled the stock intake, stock manifold, and swapped out the battery to a smaller power cell. Installed the new turbo manifold, turbo (clocked to fit) relocated power steering reservoir. Tried to install the coldpipe only to realize that I need a S13 SR cold pipe instead of the S14 SR pipe that I have. No biggy though, I'll take it from the vert lol. After I figure out some of the oil feed/drain stuff, I'll get started on that next. Weather pending I'm going to wire in the z32 MAF and the injectors.
Here's a pic:
I'll add more pictures as I continue to make progress.

Updated the parts list a tad... pics on page 6 :p
