manifold prices for ka is crazy

 

cheap or expensive?

 

I have the same car and motor and plan to do the same thing. 2.4 liters will spool a straight T4 with no problems.

You can use the old fashion FMU and SAFC for fuel but I am sure you are limited on the boost. JWT ECU's suck because you can't tune on the fly or datalogg. Its just a tuned ECU. I say go standalone if you can.

You can turbo any car with an FMU and bigger fuel pump.

 

Can you even turbo a car that doesn't have a "return style" fuel system with a FMU ?? I didn't think you could...

 

if you look at the sds website, there is a lot of info on turbocharging and stand alone engine management.

This is a ka24 that sds turbocharged and it puts out some good power.

 

thanks...kinda saw that one but after reading how much it cost that thing to go turbo..i rather go stock...hehehehe


either FMU or safc hack i would say if i were to go turbo.......but guess no one really no the codes or the tuning for it since no one has done it yet....

 

I don't think your budget is enough for half of the suggestion given so far. With only $1500 you will have to find plenty of cheap used parts. A basic new T4 turbo will cost $1000.

 

Go for it!! I got a GA16DE crap *** nissan motor and that sucker is about to be swallowing some boost
This is homemadeturbo!! I may be a newb here but boost it from what I hear the ka motor has the biggest crank journals of any nissan four plus oil squirting piston cooling crap. Sounds like a good base to me. By the way I think I got the same type stupid injector setup so if anyone knows of a good swap post up!

I didn't know Nissan owners were allowed to post

 

Just use an AFC that would work...You don't have to worry about CEL from map sensor signals....nissan uses MAF as far as I know...Just boost the damn thing...get a AFC sum bigger injectors voila that's good enough fuel management.
Get a nice T3/T4 or you could get a big T3
