ka24 supercharger

serch my name and you will find a shit load of talk about it.... had you serched you would have found out.
 
i saw one on a 350z and that thing was sick it sounded like a beast. i am like this inline engines turbo them v engines supercharge them, but thats just me
 
yeah i saw that it would be around the same price as turbo but im really not to sure what to do??

ive got a t25, sr injectors and thats all right now to turbo my car. i think im gonna go with turbo on like 6lbs
 
do your self a favor and save the money first and do it right. youll hate the car. i have a friend that didnt and the car never ran right ever again.
 
but the supercharger does sound a hell of alot easier because theres no oil return lines that need to be tapped into my block or oil pan or anything. so i might just sell the turbo and buy the supercharger
 
if you dont have the money for a turbo kit then you wont have the money for the super charger... nevermind the fact that no one now makes a SC kit.. no one!

dude the make everything for everything just look on ebay
 
I like the idea as the DOHC KA seems to be a very good performance motor platform, at least in paper. Should provide huge amounts of mid range torque in a responsive manner when supercharged well. If we had KA's in Europe, I wouldn't even look at an overpriced SR piece of shit with the worst valvetrain geometry in the history of DOHC cylinder heads and 4 desiliters less in displacement.

Do it properly though, and go for a twin screw supercharger [Lysholm, Whipple (if they do small enough) or 4th gen Eaton], or not at all. The efficiency of those units are superior to any other metod of forced induction, period.

A centrifugal charger will never be better than a poorly designed turbo system, as the compressor's nature is similar to a turbocharger's but won't ever be steady on the sweet efficiency islands like it would on a properly carried out turbo application.

A roots blower shouldn't even be an option unless you just want a little more power on mild boost, and even then the amount of work involved will be plenty compared to a turbo kit. The efficiency usually drops dramatically after 10psi or so, thus resulting in high intake temperatures, bad power outputs and a risk of detonation.

Haha that why I like you Silver You have a NASTY as hell SR in your race car but you still know enough to call them as they are LOL :bigthumbu

Well yeah, I just think it's strange to see people throw a good domestic option to the dumpster just because Taniguchi or Kazama didn't have one. :) Okay the SR does have good points to it as well, like having an aluminium block that transfers the heat efficiently and not shitting it's big ends out every 10 minutes like the CA does. Plus you can get 500 horses out of virtually any engine, it's just a matter of justifying the trouble in research and costs as well.

So I went the route because I wanted to keep it Nissan, and the proper 4 cyl units like FJ's not to mention LZ's are rare as hen's teeth and cost fortunes. If I go for the project I told you in PM, it won't include compromises anymore. ;)
 
dude what part of they dont make a kit anymore didnt you get? you will need to peice something together and it will be a pain. the SC to use is the one from the nissan xtera.
