Full Version: KA24E & DE Turbo'd Cheap!
if i had the $$ i wouldve already been there.
i just bought a jordan "Gladman" manifold for my ka24e,
i just think that is a better manifold than the logstyle manifold
that jgs uses and for a better price

oh and philipn why dont you ka24de guys just buy the xo2 manifold
its only 100 plus shiping, havent heard bad things about those,
can you direct me to a site for that? i searched but couldnt find anything. oh yea, i want a rfl bov too.
they make a bottom mount for $100 and a top mount for $200? wtf on the ka, you can just flip them over and theyll work either way. i guess they dont expect people to know that.

what the hell? Jordan's work is known to you guys all the way down in Las Vegas? damn. He's a local guy who was one of the first KA-T supporters here and has made lotsa things for the local guys.
Travis and I were thinking of getting a bunch of strut tower tops from him so we could make some proper S12 strut bars.

A supercharger kit for the KA24DE is now available!
This post on NICOclub.com has the info
The supercharger kit is made by Thomas Knight, you can check out his website here.
The first few pages are full of skepticism (since it started as an ebay auction and what not), but 91RMKS13 had been talking to Thomas Knight about it, and eventually Mr. Knight himself started posting info. His first post is here, under SCMASTER.
Here are the dyno results Mr. Knight posted on NICOclub:

NOW, HERE IS THE FIRST SET OF DYNO RUNS. LOOK AT TWO THINGS--MORE TORQUE THAN A STOCK MOTOR AT 1400 RPM (THAT IS RIGHT, TURBO LOVERS--1400RPM!!!), AND A TORQUE CURVE YOU WONT BELIEVE. I DIDN'T PRINT OUT THE LAST TWO RUNS DUE TO TIME RESTRICTIONS, BUT WE ALSO TOPPED THE RUNS TODAY AT 212.7 HP AND 217.9 TQ RUNNING 7 PSI. ALSO FOUND A 3.5" PRESSURE DROP ACROSS THE STOCK AIR METER STARTING AT 4500 RPM. A MAXIMA MAF IS IMPERATIVE, AS THAT WILL TRANSLATE INTO 1.5 MORE PSI BOOST IN THE MANIFOLD, AND ANOTHER 12-15 HP AT THE WHEELS. LOOKS LIKE 250/250 IS NOT TOO FAR AWAY--REMEMBER--THIS IS NOT A RACE PORTED SETUP, AND WE ARE NOWHERE NEAR DONE WITH TUNING, WATER INJECTION, ETC.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LARGER INJECTORS W/MODDED ECU AND ADDITIONAL INJECTORS AND AIC IS BASICALLY A PREFERENCE OF THE TUNER. I LIKE EXTRA INJECTORS AND AN AIC FOR THE SIMPLICITY OF TUNING, THE FACT THAT DRIVABILITY WILL BE AS STOCK, AND THAT IT WILL PASS EMISSIONS IN A LARGER NUMBER OF CASES THAN LARGER INJECTORS. I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN ALSO RUN WATER/ALCOHOL INJECTION WITH THE AIC ALLOWING FOR A SIMPLE W/A KIT FOR $100 OR SO FOR THE PUMP, RESERVOIR, AND INJECTOR. HOWEVER, SOME PEOPLE PREFER LARGER INJECTORS (JWT, ETC) AND ARE PROFICIENT IN TUNING THEM.
A STRUT TOWER BRACE COULD BE MODIFIED TO STILL WORK, BUT IT WON'T BOLT ON. AS WE FOUND OUT TODAY DURING SOME 'SPIRITED' TEST DRIVING, AN ENGINE STRUT BRACE TO AUGMENT THE ENGINE MOUNTS WOULD HELP A LOT. WE BROKE A NEW MOUNT DURING TESTING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.

Check out RealNissan.com, they work with KA24(D)E extensively, quality parts and know their shit. I also see Enjuku is starting to sell a lot of KA parts.
