turbocharging KA24DE?
 

hi there i was thinking to turbocharge the engine above and wanting to do so with a 1.5k budget running 7psi....i wonder how well this engine tolerate boost....anyone has any experience with it? which approach should i go? AFC hack? FMU?

Re:turbocharging KA24DE?
 

all I know is that the K is really a truck motor...but I've seen turbo kits for it, so I'm presuming it can be done...

Re:turbocharging KA24DE?
 

Kits are around 4 grand and i havnt seen a HMT style kit for the motor. Most turbo kits ive seen people have thrown together involve using either a t28 off the sr or t3/4 turbo with a upside down manifold. Also supplying fuel is gonna be odd since i dont think you can find any big injectors in the junkyard. Take a look at the nico forums for some more help http://www.nissaninfiniticlub.net/fo...s=&forumid=140

well i know its a truck motor.lots a torque and potential too.......

anyway so there is no one here who actually turboed one before? anyone could help me out if i am using the FMU way to increase the fuel pressure.........what sorta bigger injector available?

Re:turbocharging KA24DE?
 

ya know, since I work at nissan, I'll tell you those motors are absoultly fantastic. everyones saying oh ya swap in a Sr20det, which is also good, BUT honestly those long ass stroke KA24's can lay down some decent power if setup right, we have a few local guys with some custom kits and they put down some good power. (sorry no info) just took quick glances and saw them at the track.

hey Jeff , then would u recommend me to turbo it....and do u think those bigger injectors with and FMu wwill be adequate? or i should get the JWT reprogrammed ecu.....pls help.......i appreciate any advise at all\


p/S:is there bigger cc injector on the KA engine?

Re:turbocharging KA24DE?
 

Look at what kind of injector it is...there could be other make cars with the same type of injector, but that flows more.
I would go standalone on that thing...or at least some good piggy back like SMT-6

Re:turbocharging KA24DE?
 

is it really tricky turboing this engine?

Re:turbocharging KA24DE?
 

I read an aritcle in some magazine back in like 98 of someone who turboed that same motor. I would say go for it, expecially if your saying you have a budjet of 1500. Go for it..

Re:turbocharging KA24DE?
 

hi turbo delsol....i would love to go for it........but how to keep the budget to be 1500......what kind of fuel management manifold IC should i use.tuning wise etc.......all are headaches.......any advise from others? advise as in what kind of parts to get and where.thanks
