So im finally starting to post this and thought its cool since alot of people are doing it now, so ill show u guys my build. It started off as a mystery KA24DE, and it was in decent condition. We got it Bored, and Honed. ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0085.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0085.jpg) ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0087.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0087.jpg) I then order the parts Eagle Rods Wiseco Piston set .020 Over bore 9:1 compression Clevite Bearings mains and piston bearings. Put it all together ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0091.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0091.jpg) ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0093.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0093.jpg) ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0092.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0092.jpg) ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0094.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0094.jpg) This thing was pretty greasy and dirty. Since it is out and in pieces i decided to paint and make everything pretty and clean. This is how far i am right now with this build. ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0112.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0112.jpg) ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0111.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0111.jpg) ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0106.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0106.jpg) ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0105.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0105.jpg) ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0104.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0104.jpg) ![http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0103.jpg](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/kirby240sx/IMG_0103.jpg) My turbo comes today Feb 11 2011. its a T3/T4 Hybrid Turbonetics Turbo… .63 A/R with an evolution wastegate. Ill post more pics when the turbo gets here, and as this progresses. Parts i am waiting on are Clutch 810cc injectors NIStune ECU and little small things to get it goin. ---

shouldn’t you be taping off all those exhaust and intake holes , so that paint doesn’t get in? And it looked like there was green paint on the head, where the valve cover gasket would go, is that just a camera effect? awesome build nonetheless. Good luck dude. ---

thanks guys!, my power goal is 22psi of boost, which will give me over 400+hp. I didnt tap off the ports cause those dont matter with the paint, and yes a bit got in the head but we use acetone and it comes right off, then oil it. but thanks guys. ive been building this for about 2 months, taken my time, and parts take a bit to get here lol kind of annoying but it takes up my boring time in the winter haha ---
