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...

Phlebmaster’s 98 Frontier Evolution ka24det

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...
