Went on the dyno to have my car finished. I am happy with the results. AFR was at 12 and boost was set at 10psi (was running 9.X on the dyno).

are you running a S13 dizzy with the external coil, since you are using a S13 ecu? thats a really nice setup, good numbers too. lets see some pics of the car, and the engine bay 😉 ---

Now thats what I call a torque curve! Good too see some solid numbers, that thing must feel great right from the get go… I’m running a similarly sized fmic too. How are the skirts working out for you Matt? ---

Hehehe, yes the torque is there as soon as I hit the pedal. It’s perfect for my needs. The skirts are installed and they were in excellent condition, couldn’t have ask for more!

Great numbers. Just wondering what Almasi tuning is? And who made your IC piping if you don’t mind me asking. ---

Almasi Tuning = Robin Almasi. He is a well-known tuner in QC. I did all the IC piping custom on my setup and I even kept my reinforcement bumper (without cutting it) and my S14 OEM fogs 🙂 ---

Nice!! another KA-T. The engine is not built right? Why did the tuner tune the car to 12 A/F? Yes you make more power but you run the risk of detentating. Do you have anything to detect knock? if not get something. you have pic or video ---

Do you notice it drops your idle and some times stalls the car? The idle is the same as before. The car never stall. The difference is when you shift and when your rev, the rpm drops faster than with the OEM flywheel. ---

stock internals? that really boosts my confidence when I build up my engine being I’m actually doing the internals. My goal is only 350hp max, so I figured I’d build it for 450. Reliability eh? ---

My goal is only 350hp max, so I figured I’d build it for 450. Reliability eh? Despite how bullet proof the bottom end of a KA is, just because there have been 500+ whp KA’s on stock blocks doesn’t mean anything. It’s luck, and if it runs, awesome. But it’s sooo cheap to build a KA. Sure, it’s also cheap to just buy another KA when the current one blows.
