Power band is HUGE with 300+ TQ from 3200 rpms to redline!!
I cant believe how much power this motor is making in stock form. Something has to give... right?? The car makes clean pulls without any hint of ignition issues or missing a beat. Not a peep out of the knock sensor (I hope its still working).
Just so everybody understands, this KA has a STOCK intake manifold, TB, Cams, Valves, Valve springs, pistons, rods, crank, block, head gasket, head bolts, coil, etc, etc, etc.... All I did was put a turbo on a STOCK car, an intercooler, fuel system, and engine management. Nothing more.... OK.... It has an Apexi exhaust too... Sorry... No lightweight flywheel, underdrive pullies, lightweight wheels, etc... Just a bone stock KA with a turbo on it..
Follow the links in his user info.....neat dyno chart......
I kow a lot of SR lovers are goping to knock him oh well....... Get over your bendy warpy motors...../me shakes fist at warped Sr20 blocks....

forget all that. how many miles was on the car when you first put a turbo on it?
The turbo setup hasnt been on the car for that long. Its just in the beginning stages of life. There are about 30 runs on the dyno from our first pulls a few weeks ago at 297 HP @ 10 psi on up to yesterdays 404 HP @ 16 psi. Its also had quite a few test drives at the 320 HP to the 400 HP. I am amazed that the motor is still together, but carefull tuning has eliminated knock. I want to raise the boost more but at some point, something has to let go. I know my customer wants to enjoy his car for a bit before we see how much the motor will actually take.
Its running a kit that I built and currently sports a GT32 turbo with some tweaks that allow it to build boost quicker but takes away some top end. It previously had an SC50 on it which put down 377 HP at 14 psi.

nice nice, but what i really mean by miles is that before you stuck a turbo application on it, how many miles was on the car as an n/a? i most likely gonna get me another s13. one for rb25, a rustang and slowmaro eater, and a daily turbo'd driver using the ka. and so far you are bringin hope. i look forward for more info you have. but for now, i would like to know how many miles...
i would much reather see a video of the run, dyno sheets dont mean to much for me, i ca go get one for my friends 78 camaro that puts around 400 down amd use some photochoping to make my 240 look turbod.
video, please. but you do have my attention, but a list of everyhting done would be greatfuly aprreaciated.
::btw i like how the dyno sheet says simulation, make me think you have desktop dyno 2k2. hmmmmm
i'm not believing it at all. not so much that the KA can take that abuse stock, but the fact that he did it. it's not believable to me. and i dont know if you guys remember, but the guys at South Florida Performance i think it was have a turbo KA with complete stock internals pushing 479whp.
Actually that IS a scanned dyno chart. I cropped it to make the file size smaller. If your bored, you can get a lot more info on where the kit came from and how long this has been in the works on freshalloy and NICO forums. I have been posting there for some time.
I can scan the full image again with edges and all if you like. Or just take a digital picture of the dyno charts.

This car had 113,720 miles on it. I had done a bit of work on this car ie. suspension, header, exhaust, intake, clutch, etc for this customer in the past. He came to me this winter wanting to put an SR in it. I told him that I could build a turbo kit for the KA and would give him a good deal if he let me do it on his car. I was really not happy with what was availble for the KA. I had finished up a couple KA kits for a couple other customers and thought I could do better. I didnt want to cut any corners, so I ended up building everything myself.
