KA24DE-T questions

[Goosie_the_xiii]

Just wanted to see what turbo manifold people are using for their KA-T setup. I am debating going down that route. I already have the KA in my 620. If you have a KA-T did you have to do any other fabrications to make it fit? I have been searching the forums to see any information or photos of turbo setups but there are no clear shots that I have found. If possible, looking for a direct drop in with little to no fabrication needed to make it fit.

I am running KA-T in my s13 and working on SR20DET in my 620, from what I have heard you need to have a top mount manifold for the SR and I imagine the KA is the same. I used a CXRacing manifold in my s13, no complaints so far but it is cheap so be wary.

 

What would be a major concern of mine is downpipe/exhaust/wastegate clearance. It gets very busy right around where the steering column/box is supposed to be, maybe running something with an internal wastegate is the only option, which would preclude you from using the CXracing manifold without modification of some kind.

not true. I'm running bottom mount on mine with a gtx2860

What manifold are you running?

I'm pretty sure stock manifold would work too. But I am using a Tomei manifold. Mine is SR20 though
