QplateRST!

Picking up a green ka of Ajc this weekend as my winter toy/ project! Going to collect some bits along with what I have in my garage and turbo it over winter as a bit of fun! Nothing special or out just 1.6 cvh on efi! Any pics or advice would be great I've heard you run a saxo power stearing pump ect but would like to know how people have made engine mounts ect and what gearboxs they run!

Cheers Dean

Use a KA power steering rack then plumb in a SAXO/106 POWER STEERING PUMP. Wire up to a relay/switch on dash. Then just flick on to use.

Will be doing mine next month as have sourced the parts now.

I would also suggest using a Ka duratec gearbox but with a Endura bell housing for better gear ratios

DrewSS

joe at track designs was selling kits for the Ka stick some coilovers on it and with the turbo engine it will fucking fly!

Screw just doing the dash - there is a ka near blackpool airport with barbie pink paint job and a love heart tail pipe that you could take inspiration from

I really like the idea of a ka turbo - i keep thinking of making a really cheap duratec turbo one for my daily driver once i have finished my current money pit

will have to keep an eye out for that sist, but to be honest I think having heart shapped tailpipes might make it look a bit girlie??? lol

Luke, any chance of a shotgunner pour moi?

Dean stole that ka of me, lol. I didn't have a chance to say no! He's happy with it as a 1.3

Would a power steering set up from a mk5 escort cab not fit they were cvh? Grayzo had a set up minus steering rack just sat in his garage

Just an early non pas rack

Don't think there's room as the rad has to go were all the pas gubbins would fit. The run pretty much a mk3 fiesta front sub frame ( v similar front arms, I ran sport ka front arms on my rs1800 for more caster/ less camber).

I'd go manual rack personally mate, could get a quaffe quick rack in there.

QplateRST!

Deal!!!!!

Soon as it's turbo'd the dash will be coming your way and yes I will fit it haha!!

most of the ka turbo's ive seen don't use the rs crossover pipe . they normally come straight off the throttle body with a 90o bend towards the brake servo then 90o towards front of car .

Forgot to add its running standard gearbox but top end is 134. running about 200 bhp and hasnt give me any trouble YET.

DrewSS

similar spec to my old one blakey but mine was a 1.6 CVH again mounted the pump on a custom braket.

You need to get yourself over to the KA Klub as its a tried and tested method on the forum there.

Top man

I really want a ka Zetec - ka modifying is the future!

dont you have to use the duratec gearbox for cvh and endura for zetec/zvh because of starter motor position?
