I just bought a '93 240 KA24DE,
I need cheap parts for a temporary turbo set up on my stock KA24DE, so that when I bring the car home (hopefully soon), my parents don’t question why i have a noise coming from the engine (BOV).
I’m planning on building a proper KA-T later this year to swap with the engine I currently want to build (temporary one).
I just want the car to run at extremely low psi’s just so that theres a BOV noise.
I have no idea what I need so the more help, the better, the cheaper, the better.
If anyone can help on weekends, would much appreciate, food will be provided and I’m located in Richmond Hill.
i heard about a guy who took a bottle of 3 dollar ‘dust off’ for keyboreds and such, flipped it upside down and put it uner his fender so it looked like a nos purge. same idea…
this is more than true, im trying to keep my build on a budget, and im already getting way up in $$$ and i still need intercooler piping, wideband o2, turbo timer, fuel pump, fpr.
don’t worry i know KA-Ts are’t cheap, i’ve been researching for 1.5 years plus, but he said he wanted something cheap. the person who made that original kit did not need need a walboro 255, wideband, or any extra stuff. an old used engine, if you read the link i posted, it says exactly that enjoy
my mistake he has an “old” afc
just for future reference those prices are not my calculated prices but straight from the forum on KA-T.org
i currently own a 2001 prelude and i’m in the process of selling it. when i sell it money will go to pay some things off and some will go towards the 240 build. my dad(and alot of plp) thinks that i’m doing the wrong thing by selling a reliable car to purchase a older one, the 240, the one i all ready bought, the one no one knows about. he’s the type of guy that thinks anybody who spends money on a car for “extra” stuff is throwing money in the garbage. so basically i just need a turbo set up under the hood so that when i bring the car home and he takes a look at it now and when he looks at it later(when real ka-t goes in) it looks more or less the same. the reason why i need a bov sound is so he dosen’t ask what that “new” noise is that my engine is making when i do the real ka-t later this year. like i said dosen’t need to be a nice strong set up just something that is passible in looks and sound. he’s not dumb he knows i’ll put money into the car but i don’t want him to know i put $$$$ into the car so if the car comes with a turbo and it just got “louder” later i can tell him something but if i bring bone stock then do a whole bunch of stuff to the engine he’ll know big money has been spent.
keep in mind that in approximately one year from sining for a condo that i just purchased, so he’s got reason to be pissed if i spend any extra money that i shouldn’t.
thanks again
k, considering i’m just putting the final touches on my KA-T build, and i went cheap where i could, and bought quality where i needed it, you’re looking at approx. $2200 for a budget oriented build, you could get away a lil’ cheaper if you keep the boost low and run it off the stock ecu with 370 injectors. like, you wouldn’t need an E-Manage system or anything. check it out, it’ll give you somewhat of an idea of what you’ll be looking at.
enjoy
