Heatbloom : Breeze ( R32 Ka24Det )


Recommended Posts

This is my finished (exterior) wise 1990 Skyline gts-t sedan . I'm super stoked on how it came out. Couldn't decide if I wanted to clip the zipties for "crashing" a hotrod show n shine... They are cut now. The wings are one off pieces I made since I couldn't find something I could buy that was this idea took as much material money plus so much time ahha.

The first fiberglassing me and a friend did deleting the extension on the end of the sideskirt.

Relocated the powersteering pump to get out of my air filters way and relocated my oil dipstick too.

Get the exhaust as hung as I could. Two mufflers inline so its decently quite till the screamer pipe.

Manifold and dumppipe view. Bottom mount with t3 flange and 38mm tial wastegates flange welded on. Also s13 suspension all around the r32

Made a top feed rail out of a cut down rb20det fuel rail.

Holset he341 t3 turbo

ebay tial knockoff 38mm

Ignition hotwire mod

fmic 3" piping

skull and bones oil cooler filter relocation

s13 koyorad e-fans

Megasquirt standalone ecu

Love your wide quarters.

like wise,

is it you and your brothers that have all the sedans?

thanks dude :)

Love to see a video of this beauty in action. The obvious question, why the KA?

When I was first into this car I was a big weight reduction nazi. Now I couldn't care less, but originally that was a factor. The rb was pissing me off and I was given two good complete ka24de with trannies. It's a displacement upgrade, while removing two cylinders and turbo kits are cheap. Working on the engine is so easy so much room. Since having it a slew of benefits have shown themselves. But really I just like the ka24det, it's a beast and torquey just a 10psi. I could talk about how its cheaper hp especially after parting out the rb. BUT thats not really true for me anymore because I've built it how I wanted to and plan on getting very stupid when I do a rebuild. 2.6L fully counterweighted crank is more than people sell running rb20det up here lol. But its what I want to do and I love how it already is. Wouldn't change anything. I definitely welcome the question though and feel free to ask anything about the ka as it's not what one would normally look like, plus you guys don't have them down there eh?

I have enough go pro to make a new little video soon here but here is a couple clips of it turboed

and NA last year, clutch kicks all day

like wise,

is it you and your brothers that have all the sedans?

thanks dude :)

Eric and Ryan are actual brothers, not me. We've been bros since high school though!

    • I'm trying to maintain stock appearance . Hicas is still installed (although has lockout kit) did you retain factory fuel pump hat? If so I assume you used a bulkhead fitting or similar ?  I was also trying to avoid a full re design as it was previously dynoed at 426kw atw with same setup but different pump. Changing return line would also mean having to change ethanol sensor and fpr and possibly fuel rail. Not chasing more power in any way just reliability of the setup 
    • I do think it's weird I had it for 2 weeks then the issue came up out of nowhere and progressively got worse. I would've imagined changing everything in the ignition system would've resolved any ignition related misfires but still has the high rpm and idle misfires that seem unchanged. I would've thought if it was fuel related it would happen all the time unless it's the pump losing pressure when it gets hot. If it was the ecu I would think it would do it all of the time.  Something I noticed when I had it all apart was a pretty decent coating of oil in the J pipe coming from the throttle body. The weird thing about that is the pcv that goes to the intake is blocked off. So that has me wondering if the oil is coming from the turbo because that's the only thing that could get oil in there. This thing does sound like it spools like a mofo like I'm a former dsm guy and the only stock turbo I've ever heard spool this loud (to only go up to about 5psi) is on a diesel truck. And the recirculated bov is really loud too I had a TurboXS RFL and this thing is just as loud and being so low on psi seems a little weird. I don't know if any of this is or isn't related but just trying to make sure I'm not leaving any potentially helpful information out. 
    • So latest update. I replaced the ignitor with a jspec unit from enjuku. It felt a lot better at first although it is a little bit cooler of a day than it has been. Warming up didn't have as much misfire sputtering as before. Went on a 10m test drive. Felt good, a lot stronger though I was taking it easy on the boost. On the return trip started getting the cutting out at higher rpm again and was getting worse the longer I was driving. Took it easy the rest of the way home. Before turning the car off was getting the normal idle sputtering I was getting before.  So where I'm at now, entire ignition system has been replaced with upgraded components. Plugs still gapped at .8mm. Removed the fuel cap in case it was building too much reverse pressure I'm the tank, didn't help at all. Now I'm still on the same tank of gas the fuel treatment was in, I'm thinking if I can run that out and then refill with fresh 93 maybe  the treatment is too concentrated in some areas but doesn't explain that it only does it once the car is warm. I'm leaning towards fuel pump or injectors but if the injector was clogging I don't think it would make it shut off like it has but then fire right back up like nothing happened. So my current guess would be the pump. Without a fuel pressure guage no way to test or check it while it's running.  So that's kind of where I'm at. Need to start testing fuel components and ecu/wiring but I'm at a loss of what's the next logical step and procedure for testing it. 
    • @niZmO_Man thanks for that info, lucky I bought the gktech ones 🤙.
    • Never cheap out on brakes, tyres, suspension. I learnt the hard way at Oran Park lol
