waiting for engine to return... :)
waiting sux!!1

sorry, not trying to jack your thread or anything

peace!

its cool, yea i really didnt want to start off with such high psi, but thats what gay ass boost designs decided to give me, i asked for them to give me a 7.5 psi spring, i guess they were off a little bit, but jesus christ man, its so much fun, last night i took down a 97 mustang gt with exhaust and gears (smoked the shit out of him), and i beat a mustang cobra (stock, but still beat him by like 3-4 car lengths), then i beat a z28 with an lt-1 engine in it by like 2 car lengths, and then i beat a gtp by like 8 car lengths. so last night was a good night, im going to race this stage 2 wrx real soon, it should be a good race
btw: my clutch is slipping like a bitch when i beat these guys too, lmfao. so when i get a clutch im going to race another 240sx with and sr20 boosting 20 psi, his best run at the track was a 12.9, im hoping to be in the low 13's right now, but who knows.
the enthalpy tune is great, i couldnt have asked for more, it idles WITHOUT an exhuast, which is pretty rare, but it does die when i rev it and let up real quick, but im hoping the exhaust takes care of that.

next to come is clutch, exhuast, then im saving for a rebuild with just bearings, hone, bore, pistons/rings, hot tank, etc. not getting rods right away because next year i will be going to college, but i dont have to pay for college is what my parents told me, so im taking out a loan and gettin the phatka-t engine..

peace out fella's

He tried to correct me and messed up too....Thats a KA-T guy for you :p Just messin Tat.

but i dont have to pay for college is what my parents told me, so im taking out a loan and gettin the phatka-t engine..

Just my two cents, but I seriously would not take out a loan for a project car. Maybe take out a loan and get a reliable car so you can spend more money on your car.

Sweetness on the races. Are you running VTA on your BOV? And yes, get a clutch. That kind of power isn't gonna go through a stock clutch very well.lol

yea, VTA but my spring is real stiff so i have to be under load and atleast 4k rpm for it to go off, i think im gonna make it a little looser, to mabe like 3.5k or so.
yea stock clutch sucks, i cant believe i beat that z28 with my clutch slipping like that, that things mean too.
-tim

my stock clutch held fine at 9 psi, but 13 psi, that is a totally different story.

man, i should be one of those numbers...

daaaaamnnn that is a sick setup you got there....

is that the old BD mani $ DP, or the new one, i have the new one and i love it. its real nice...

one problem that i do see in your pic, is that on the actuator you have the thing that bolts it on to the turbo... grind the part where the actuator is held on to off, and put the part where you bolt it on to back on, get all those bolts on the turbo so it is completely sealed man, you dont want your compressor housing like coming off or having a boost leak, that shit would be hard as fuck to spot...
sorry if that didnt make sense, just reply if it didnt, but i think you get what i mean.

Ok what year cobra? A 98 bone stock runs 13.4 in 1/4, and you win by 3-4 car links with slipping clutch in how long of a race? Was it a 3 lap Tsukuba? Would certainly have to be a minimum of 1/4. Even then your running 12.9 or better and with a stock slipping clutch?!? :nono: This is not adding up for me. How wide are your tires? You didn't lose traction at all? Is the rest of your drive-train stock?

The torque of a corbra would eat you alive during your < 4000rpm.. no chance in hell in 1/8. There is no way "the race" started from a red light or drag strip. I'm not trying to flame you or call you a lier but.. cmon man, I would have to be one naive mofo to listen to that.

stock 93 cobra is around mid to high 12's, are you sure it wasen't a stock 5.0 mustang with cobra tags on it or something? Or he/she didn't use the gas while racing you, i dunno... or maybe his clutch was slipping much worse.

There has to be some kind of "X factor" here, please explain. I hope you forgot to add the part about you having 10" tires on the rear, and a 75 shot for spool up. I'm sure the mustang forum would love to read this post.

yeah, those cobras may run those numbers, but if the driver isnt very good, they could easily post 14's, and thats why they lose.

and to tims_240, the internal gate is laying there because im using the cast iron gate adapter to prop up my turbo, its not attached to anything, ive taken care of the compressor tensioners, but i can see how the pic could be confusing

and oh yeah, its the new mani and dp, shorty header

yeah, those cobras may run those numbers, but if the driver isnt very good, they could easily post 14's, and thats why they lose.


Ok lets assume it was a manual transmission. I don't care if the cobra gets an RT of .5 and the 240 gets a .05 , its not feasible.. you can try the bad driver arguement, but who's to say this guy in the 240sx is King Dingaling on the clutch? Evaluate your average Cobra owner, likely an enthusiast with plenty of practice. You have to consider both sides.. if this guy in the cobra put his foot to the floor and its a 98 era or 93 era, I call bullshit. Have you ever been a passenger in a cobra?

Trust me on this one, low end torque vs turbo lag paints a nasty looking picture, please don't forget that both of these cars are purpose built. My brother has an rx7 with a small block chevy, and I have an 87Tsupra with apprx 450whp... I understand the advantages/disadvantages of low end torque vs high end hp, and bad driver vs good driver. To put it politely, his statements are BOLD.

yo 7m>v8 i like ur objective... ur 240 is a coupe right?

i beleive tim that he smoked a cobra... my sr, pushing only 7 psi( i think) too busy driving while boosting.. it may be up to 9 now cause i was messin with my b/c.
anyway.. i think my 240 can beat my 350+ HP 3000 lbs '71 camaro... but i have yet to take the 240 to the 1/8 mile to make sure.. it may seem faster since im so low to the ground..

13psi, impressive bro. You haven't done anything to the lower end at all (pistons, sleeves, rods, crank, etc...)? to be honest, i'd be scarerd if my KA pumped out 13psi. Last thing you want is a rod through ur block, ya know?

see what im talking about nissanfanatic, some people with big mouths. lol
ok, heres something i didnt tell you, but you should have thought about, we did this little race thing from a 30 mph roll, i was allready at like 3.8k rpms, so when i floored it i got a huge jump on him because i was in boost, my clutch doesnt slip in 2nd it slips in high 3rd gear, and high 4th and 5th gear, and i dont give a fuck if you believe me because i have lots of witness's including the driver.

im not too worried, i have an enthalpy tuned ecu, and scott definatley knows his shit... i think under 300whp if decently safe, since i have never seen my wastegate spike, lol. but yea lots of people are trusting the ka at higher and higher hp, i will be staying at this hp for a while until i rebuild.
-tim

i believe you could have beeten a cobra even if it runs a 13.4. Look at fanatic, he runs a 13.4 in the 1/4 without any LSD (wheres the tracktion you say is so importan?) and with a large TO4B that doesnt even spool untill about 4000K PRM (wheres the lowend torque?)...I dont know if my post made sense, but i definatly believe you!

ET means shit when you are racing from a roll. KA@13psi is prolly right around 280-290whp which is plenty to run mid 12s with traction and trap at about 109-110 depending on weather.

ONCE AGAIN,

WHO RACES BELOW 4000RPM!!!???!?!?!

OMG T3h KA 240tey BeATzed Da Cobra!!11 NNOOO wWAYYY BBBSSSS. Get over it. He beat the cobra. If you wanna discuss it any further, do it through PM or link this thread to the car comparison forum. Any more and this thread will be closed and you will get a warning about starting arguements about lame stuff.

hey tim, where did you get your TO4E at? and how much?

That's fucked up...I cant believe you guys forgot about me... :(

ouch...

That's fucked up...I cant believe you guys forgot about me... :(
lol, i didnt forget about anyone, definatley have mad props for the ka-ter's...

i got my turbo from boost designs a whiiiile back, back when they were still a reputable company.

Hey im not trying to talk shit or flame, or even "start lame arguements." I won't link to crap.. thats seems like a way to "start lame arguements." If someone calls me out on a claim of this nature can I summon you too?

Sorry, i guess i'll shut my "big mouth"

That's fucked up...I cant believe you guys forgot about me... :(

Well stop in more often...

dang thats kool man i wish i had the $$$$ for my T setup i was actually thinking of doing 2 t setups one on my 240 and the other one (i know ill get flame but i dont care) an integra need 2 do more research for it but i wouldnt mind messing around but both would b custom made like everyone here how much have all u KA-Ter's spend on ur whole setup?? sorry for whoring the thread but thats crazy man 13psi thats not bad man go further man further!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!11

fuuuurtherrrr furrrtherrrrr BOOM, no good......
i want my engine to last for atleast a year, lol...
i have spent a total of $2475. but you have to remember that i got a couple deals, see one of my friends knows a guy who wrecked his s14, and he had a ka-t setup, so i snagged his oil lines, z32 fuel filter, i-c piping, and im buying his clutch and exhaust off him for $275, btw the clutch is a spec stage III still in the box....
-tim

this is what makes me want to go ka-t


SHIT


nice damn setup though buddy, i wish i could have that.. get some dyno #s!! and pics!!

whats up d-bo, long time no see. when are you going ka-t man?
its been a while, you got any more parts or anything?

fuel pump and then i went out west to work for the summer to pay off debts.. so i came back with a much smaller debt than before.. i'm working as a valet attendant at the westin ottawa now (rolling stones stayed there this past weekend, held the door for a couple of them and went to the show!) earning about $15/hrCDN.. started paramedic school yesterday.. the ball is rolling except for the fact that i'm STILL not boosting.. i have the option of going CA but i'm debating. its such a toss up. go CA by the spring or wait and have a good ka-t setup when i get back from out west next summer (august).. either way i'll be makin sick money next summer and should come home with ballpark $10,000 after taxes and everything..

thats whats goin on with me..

where have you been?? obviously working on the ka-t i see.. great job, sounds like a real good setup.. i'm ancy to know your actual hp and tq!! i'd be looking at about the same setup as you but with new pistons and headwork..

its always good to hear someone beating those camaros and cobras, mad props to ya!

its always good to hear someone beating those camaros and cobras, mad props to ya!
thanks man.

dude, ca18det=no. for real, just wait, it worth it for sure, you dont want to do an engine swap and have it be a shitty turnout. there are so many downsides to the CA but the only downside to the ka-t is the wait.
i would choose the wait.
fanatic already predicted me in the 290whp range, of course with a new clutch but yea. the torque will prolly be like 510, fuckin truck motors...lol.
hoping to run high 12's at the track, not this sat, but next sat.
-tim

d-bo did the rolling stones look as old and scary as they do on TV?

haha they look crazy old but apparently that doesn't matter to them.. they put on one hell of a show. the only guy who looked like he was about to keel over was the drummer.. i thought he had a heart attack in the middle of one of their songs.

sorry to jack the thread, tim

i think i might wait though.. the whole displacement and difference in tq is whats holding me back. there's something about a 1.8T in a 240sx that just doesn't work for me. 1.8T engines are for volkswagons, not nissans. nomatter how ancy i am to get the ca, its probably not worth it in the long run.. i've made impulse decisions before and they never turn out good.

tim, do you have plans for internals and headwork?? that might help your engine last for longer than a year..

Since some one mentioned 1.8Turbo VWs...

I killed one last week :D

lol

yea i do have plans for internals, i think im going to take out a loan for a couple g's and have a local shop around my area rebuild my engine, with forged pistons, rods, and all the goodies, but that wont be until i either turn 18 in november or when i get out of high school.
speaking of high school, i have the fastest car there... runner up is a stock cobra, hahaha.

Damn nice. You turboed your KA before I did. And while you are in high school. Wish I had my car turboed when I was in high school.

Get some pics! I wanna see! And get a nice one of the boost gauge while you are boosting!haha
