Re: Phlebmaster’s 98 Frontier Evolution ka24det
I’ve been running the Apexi Neo for a little over a week and now I have some things to share. Keep in mind that what I am using isn’t the best setup for a turbo, however it is doing it’s job for the most part. The ideal setup is to run a tuned stock ecu or a standalone. The other options are piggyba...

Re: Phlebmaster’s 98 Frontier Evolution ka24det
I have some updates. I typically don’t post until I have something of value to share. Anyway, I finally found my Goldilocks turbo after trying a few different configuration options. Here are my observations for each of the 3 I have tried. Keep in mind, this was my experience and opinion with my spec...

Re: Phlebmaster’s 98 Frontier Evolution ka24det
Okay so I just wanted to update you on my experience with the A/R 48 small turbine turbo. It’s actually pretty fun and it’s about as close to a supercharger that you can get in a turbo. The one drawback of course is that you reach higher boost level sooner so if your system is not set up for that it...

Re: Phlebmaster’s 98 Frontier Evolution ka24det
😂 I didn’t think I would need the flat o rings at first but I guess they are needed. I’ve got everything Installed. It’s a .60 AR and 48 trim eBay T28 knock off but it works good and gets into boost very quickly, it feels perfect. AEM FIC6 piggyback with stock fuel pump for now. I logged and mapped...

Re: Phlebmaster’s 98 Frontier Evolution ka24det
This truck is badass man. I’m In the process of installing a turbo on my truck also. Just a heads up though if you are going to keep the truck intake and fuel rail. Whenever you swap injectors, you will need to swap over those flat O-rings on the bottom of your original injectors to the new ones. I...

Re: Phlebmaster’s 98 Frontier Evolution ka24det
It’s been a busy weekend. I finally started getting my new parts for the fuel system upgrade so I have some things to share. First thing, I replaced the 240sx pistons yesterday with stock frontier pistons. The 240 pistons were not damaged but it looks like they drop a little lower than the stock pis...

Re: Phlebmaster’s 98 Frontier Evolution ka24det
Pitfalls of my build Here are a few things that I did wrong as a cocky noob. I mean what could go wrong? eBay turbo is cheap and if I do it right it should last…. Right? Might want to read on….. Mistake 1. I did my research and due diligence to see what it would take to turbo my NA truck. However I...

Re: Phlebmaster’s 98 Frontier Evolution ka24det
For anyone thinking that they can do a turbo build on the cheap side listen to those who tell you it is not possible. If you spend your money on a cheap turbo or cheap components you will be spending money on engine parts or downtime. Which started out as a $1500 investment has turned into well over...

Re: Phlebmaster’s 98 Frontier Evolution ka24det
That is a pretty clean engine bay for a work truck with 200k+ on it! I caught the stove piping on the intake... Project Stovepipe maybe? I would replace that with a real pipe at some point because that pipe is not airtight and you will get unfiltered stuff through to the turbo. Hey, you didn’t know...

Hey there, I wanted to get a thread started for my project. This has been my work truck for the past two years. I work in construction so my truck has been indispensable. However the miles have started to catch up with it so there were some things that I needed to decide to do. I could’ve purchased ...

Hey my name is Aaron and I’m old (46) but my soul is still 17. I’ve lurked for quite some time while building my Ka24det. I found a lot of helpful information here and a few other resources while I worked on my 1998 Frontier work truck, turning it into something different but fun. Now that I been th...
