yup permacool 12 inch fans, one in front and one on the back. They cool the motor just fine in Miami weather

That's the same fan I'm contemplating on getting, is it worth the hundred bucks, does it flow the 3000cfm it claims??
Can you do me a huge favor, measure how far the fan sticks out from the radiator... Thanks in advanced




Question out of curiosity, why not go with a VG trans?

check out this page:
http://perma-cool.com/Catalog/Cat_page16.html

the summit site has the flow wrong, 1650 is much more inline with what it should flow.

I measure about 4" depth required, permacool says 3 3/4". so figure 4" to be safe.


and as for the VG trans, i got one ready to go, just need to gather some funds to purchase the adapter plate/driveshaft

Is that 4 inches at the motor? I can't find any measurements for the frame part (the part marked in green)...

you going with the Mazwork kit?
I've always wanted to do a twin turbo v8 s14 they sell a complete kit for the vh45/vg trans, maybe one day

Thanks!

 

Fantastic build. After seeing many KA-Ts this is definently up there as one of my favorites.

I also like how you re-routed the brake lines directly into the compartment and away from the manifold.

 

Normally the media tells you to stay away from KA's but this build is some kind of monster.

 

Sweet fab work. I really like the intake manifold. Looks real nice!

 

OP be carefull on the fan/radiator setup here. I found out your best bet is a copper/aluminum radiator with an altima fan. Ka's put out so much heat is non-sense.

Are you on zilvia?

my car will sit at 160-170 degrees in miami weather. even after a 1st-4th gear pull it warms up to maybe 180-190 and quickly cools down once I start cruising again.

 

You read that from some web page and you're regurgitating the information incorrectly. The copper/aluminum rad and altima fan setup was the best bang for the buck not the best cooling. I've never had any cooling issues with the numerous setups i've had while making more power than 99% of kat's out there so i fail to see where this overwhelming amount of heat being generated by the ka is evident.

 

get a filter on that snail.....looking good as usual
