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?

 

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...

 

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?

 

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 *** 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?

 

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

 

is it really tricky turboing this engine?

 

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..

 

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
