I have been talking with TonysS13 and others working on my SOHC ka-t project. OK so after alot of research I think I have finished my Turbo list.

Manifold Realnissan $450
Turbo T3-T04 from www.turborepair.com (2 year warrenty) $450
HKS Super AFR (research made it sound better) $340
Turbo Timer Type-0 Silver HKS $80
Ca18det or Sr20det injectors $120
Fuel pump (suggestions who?) $150
Autometer guages, boost/A/f $80
custom exhaust $300
Waste Gate HKS $350
BOV HKS $220
FMIC $700
Oil Lines $40
vaccum lines/misc lines $20
Boost Controler $100

Did I forget anything???
Let see that is $3400. I will be doing the install my self so I will be ok. I would just like to know the best place for MAF??? and If I missed anything on my list???

P.S. I'm a huge HKS fan so that is where alot of my products come from.

 

No one out there will even say if I have everything, a simple yes would be good enough???

 

I think the Walbro in tank fuel pump is the one most SR swap guys go for so it should handle your turbo duties.

I don't know much about the MAF swap but I have heard of some swaps. I will look around on my computer.

I don't really know anyone except Tony that has done the sohc turbo so I don't really think you will have many people to get tride and true advice from.

You will get help anyway. PM me if you need any more info.

 

Thanks StanBo. I am just using my stock MAF and I have decided that I will mount it after the BOV so I don't confuse the computer when the BOV goes. The more and more I search the more I think that I have it right except i may need an igination upgrade. I also might need a fuel pressure regulator, but with the HKS Super AFR I will adjust it manually so I don't think I will. But if anyone has any suggestion please post. When I get done it will be a killer at about 8psi.

 

what about internals? how much do you plan to boost?

 

I don't know much about the AFR because I am not a boost junkie yet.

I will be if I pass this test tomorrow.

I would think that you will want a mechanical FPR in line as a fallback for the HKS.

 

I would get a fallback except that I an going to have a air/fuel gauge so if my HKS AFR fails then I will know right way when my gauge goes to lean.

 

I would get internals if I had the money, well really I would just wait til I had the money but I don't have the time to take the engine out nor the place to do it. I only plan on 8 psi, but i have talked to a guy from BYP (back yard productions) and they have a 1996 ka24de on 16psi with stock internals. 400rwtq on stock internals! Not only on stock internals but it had stock ECU, he just had a APEXi AFC! But for daily, either way, I will probably be at 8psi.

 

Sounds like a nice setup. You shouldn't be disappointed with the results either. The T3/T4 is a good choice as well because it can hold plenty of boost and shouldn't have a problems spooling up at all. I'm just wondering why you didn't want to go with greddy on some of your stuff.

 

If you are going to run a gauge as a failsafe please hook up an audible and visual sensor to it. One that will lightup and buzz/ring if the AFR fails and your car decides to dip LEAN.

 

Very good idea I will be sure to do that.

The real reason I'm not going with greddy is that I think HKS is better. I have never hear of anyones car blowing because of a failure by an HKS part. Also Greddy's parts are more money. After saying I will have a HKS waste gate I think i will change that to a tial 35mm waste gate (it is about $120 cheaper).

 

just outta curiosity, why did you choose the t3/t4? is that the best one? also, are you serious that the turbo is only $4-- dollars?!? the others i have been looking at are like 2 grand on average.

 

It uses half a t3 and half a t4. So you get less turbo lag, but don't lose on the top end. I might go here to by mine.

They will sell a brand new GARRETT T3/TO4E for 550. The turbo i talk about before was rebuilt. But this one is brand new. I might even get a GARRETT T3/60-1 for 650 that turbo is huge.

 

how is that turbo so cheap when the hks turbos are like 2 grand?

 

I don't know why they can sell them so cheap. GARRETT turbos are always cheaper than HKS and these guys porbably bought alot of the them and are able to sell them cheap.
