Anyone Seen This Joke?

So, its the same kit. But one is $3,500 and one is $1,800. On top of that, they advertise its a complete kit and you can make like 225whp, but they offer no tuning with their kit. Nor is there any pics of the actual kit. Just general pics of KA24DER setups that don't show you anything, and a pic of a dyno that doesn't even go to redline, or look real impressive. They also call it a Jeff Knight kit. lol

Is this someone on here? Is it for real?

Man that is a rip off. The second pic is stolen from nico's knights supercharger install on the 240sx tech pages. I remember that install from a long time ago. Back before we even had a supercharger section. Member please stay away.

the price is one is a complete kit other needs the charger. as far as no tunning they probably include a vortex 8 to 1 or simmer unit.

The thomas knight kit has long since been discontinued. And when he was selling them they were sub $1k.

it has an fmu which is more than enough tuning for a roots style blower at that psi. i ran my eaton m90 off of an fmu and stock computer with an adjustable fpr as well and at 15 psi the wideban read perfect the whole way. its the benefit of a constant linear boost presure. so please dont be ignorant and do read things all the way. some ebay stuff isnt garbage the people that buy it are just idiots.
going fast, i can do that... this going sideways thing is tricky.....

It may keep the AFR's decent, but what about timing? Several guys have destroyed ringlands with M62's at only 10-12 psi and a conservative tune. Nomadtrash went through 2 sets of pistons and 240cp destroyed his ringlands as well: viewtopic.php?t=44024

um its a distributor.... grab ur timing light and dial a few degrees out. its not computer controlled anyways. how dumb are u seriously

and he was running 12-13 psi unintercooled. that is not a smart idea on cast pistons no matter who you are or what u do for tuning

you are seriously a complete ***** idiot. BASE timing is conrtolled via the distributor. Timing under load IS controlled by the ECU! If that wasn't the case, then how would companies like JWT and NIStune and Enthalpy be in business?

I'm glad you feel so confident in your knowledge that you need to tell everyone else to do some research. If you don't know what you are talking about, keep your mouth shut. (You obviously have much to learn.)

I'm smart enough to know that tuning a car the right way doesn't involve FMU's and retarded base timing. How about you?


You seem awfully defensive of these kits. If I was a gambling man, I would bet that you're the one selling the kits on ebay.

Read his replies very carefully... I think he's the one selling the kits. Why else would he be so defensive?

HAHAHA :lol: Well then I guess that megasquirt that you love so much was just a total waste of money huh? Youve got to be the biggest idiot in here to really think grabbing a timing light and dialing some timing at idle will carry accross the whole map. Im with adaamky....you are the seller of this bullsh!t arent you.
