KA to KAT question
OK I'm scooping a 93 240 in the next 2 weeks.. As well I have a garret gt40r on hand. Of course I'm looking to set the car up for drifting and looking for numbers sitting around 300 to 350. But I have concerns about what the block can and will handle. As well how obtainable those numbers are considering we have those silly emission things up here.

Re: KA to KAT question
If you want to drift, get rid of that GT40R and put a smaller, quicker spooling turbo on there. Get an underdrive pulley for your water pump, cams/valve springs/retainers that will allow you do maintain high revs for a while and then a couple of extra engines. Other than that, I'd worry about suspension and drivetrain mods more than a KA-T setup.

I also understand that I'm looking to spend alot of cash and time on the suspention alone.

But you all will know when ya see me out.

dont have to get the Tein's, the D2's are just as good and ur only paying half the cost.
