We just got the latest issue of Sport Compact Car in at PI and the cover car is a stock looking zenki S14 with a KA-T

The story is all about the potential of turbocharging a KA and how to properly do it for under $2000 USD.

This is a great write up by the smartest technical import magazine around, I would suggest anyone on the board ESPECIALLY GONAD to find themselves a copy and take it home.

This article will also shut everyone in the technical section up in that “why do KA-T’s not last long im a noob” thread.

Not everyone agrees 100% on the article’s merit. I’ll have to pick this up though…

I read it in the airport last week.

It’s a pretty good article…and I was just happy to see a zenki S14 in a mag.

But… I wouldn’t have thought that article would be the posterchild for KAT’s now. They basically just built a mild KAT which I wasn’t that impressed with.

They would be better off fast forwarding one year and then writing the article…proving that the motor has lasted for a year and that is was beat on constantly.
