I’m pretty sure something like this was posted a little while ago,

it turned into a ka vs sr war if I’m not mistaken.

i hate that shit, it never ends… this thread isnt to discuss any better motor alternatives, just to see what numbers and such people are making with their turbo ka-t’s, if it does turn into one then mods can lock this in a second, thats some crazy driftin in your avtar wutt!

well you see, it all started back in 1986 when Adam’s mother - the big tree got knocked up and grew some nuts along the way. In the fall a little nut fell off a branch and we named it Adam. How he grew and he turned into a big nut.

jjm\_240sx (Justin) has one. I got a ride in it last year, but it wasn’t  
working all that great. He’s done some work on it this year.

What happend in a Nutshell (No Pun Intended) the 6 bolts on  
the back of the compressor housing vibrated loose after I  
clocked the turbo and the compressor housing poped off under  
boost hitting the Inducerwheel causing this damage:
