Ok yes it’s on 110 octane gas and there’s no way it’ll be a daily but still, VERY impressive! 😃

if im not mistaken, there’s a couple ka-t’s on [ka-t.org](http://ka-t.org) (also listed on [zilvia.net](http://zilvia.net)) that break 600rwhp.

here’s an example:

> We finally got everything to fall into place with the car over the weekend and got it back on the dyno on saturday and cranked the boost. Ill keep it short and sweet.
> 
> 34psi did 633HP and 511TQ, this is still a VERY conservative tune, the A/F’s are in the 10’s and the timing is way way down.

Does anyone know if that’s 633bhp or 633 at the rear wheels? Ditto for torque.

some of my fav. ebay quotes

> Q: Where did you import this engine from? This engine looks very firmilar to the RB25DET and making a ton of horsepower.
> 
> A: It is not any kind of an RB-series engine, and doesnt really even resemble one. The motor is a KA24DE.

> Q: is this a sr20det because it can only make power like that if it was i will give you 11,500 for it call tim @360-340-u821 thank you timmy
> 
> A: No, this is a KA24DE Turbo. [www.ka-t.org/rick](http://www.ka-t.org/rick) for more information.
