:confused: Yeah what is wrong with the first car? Is it wrecked on the other side or something?

WE HAVE A WINNER!

I'll take pics of it .. its actually pretty funny. The quarter panel had some drift damage. The shell itself is rusting bad on the frame rails and on the quarter panels.

Switched from a manual car to an auto car?
I got the shell (blown motor) which is 10X cleaner that my current one. Everything from the old car is being transferred over to the new one including the 5spd. Custom dash is being transferred as well.

I know it looks dirty and all but once I'm done putting it up to what the 90 is, it'll look cleaner.

Future plans include going KA-T and S15 front end conversion.

If you ever sell the stock 89 catback, let me know. My SOHC is in need of one.


Good luck with the build.

Good reason then

I'm not sure what the KA-T and S15 is... I drive a neon, lol

Any pics?

KA-T is the stock KA engine (KA24E 89-89, and KA24DE w/ hot cams 91-94, and S14 KA24DE 95-98) and adding a turbo to it. i.e. KA24E-T and KA24DE-T. Cheaper and put out way more hp than an SR (fastest I know of is 633whp on KA-T.org)

As for the conversion .. The car will eventually look like this but with a different body kit...

just curious, whered you get those guages?? Are they out of a 180 by some chance? (or something of the sort?) The 89 you showed pics of looks exactly like mine, mines an 89 and the same color and all. :supz: :banana: But I'm just curious where the guagues came from because mine only go up to 115mph, and redlines at 6 grand. (rarely take it that high anyways) :thumbup:

How much do you want it for lol? I have no use for it honestly. Maybe like $100. He made upwards of 500whp with it so it is strong as HELL.

sounds tempting .. what turb o .. t3/t4? and whats that trim?

03-09-2006, 11:54 PM
It is just the manifold. You would need to buy the turbo.

It has a T4 flange but you can just weld on a t3 flange. I could do it if you want.
