nustad Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have an S13 KA24DE I'm rebuilding and installing in my 72' 510 4dr. Just wondering if anyone has used an xcessive aftermarket KA manifold on a 510 swap and how it worked out. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Are you going turbo? Quote Link to comment
EastBay521 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 don't do it unless turbo Quote Link to comment
nustad Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 No turbo. Quote Link to comment

nustad Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Nope. Just rebuilding to stock. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Only reason is if there is a clear improvement in mileage or performance. (or both) Talk is cheap and a maker can claim anything they want. So before shelling out your cheese make sure your not buying into the hype. Quote Link to comment
nustad Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hmm. I take it no one has done this yet. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Nope. Just rebuilding to stock. From what I see of them they are designed for running motorcycle carbs or throttle bodies. This wouldn't be stock. Is this your aim? If so, we have a thread on R-1 carbs and manifolds, surely someone has thought of running this on a KA-E or DE http://community.ratsun.net/topic/7862-r1-carbs-lots-of-pics/ Quote Link to comment
nustad Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Not interested in motorcycle carbs or tb's. I was just going to run the excessive plenum/intake instead of the stock. I think the excessive looks cleaner but in pics on a 240sx it looks like the plenum is to far forward (towards front of engine) to route the intake on a 510. Pic - Quote Link to comment
nustad Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I just found this pic of a godspeed manifold in a 510 which from what I've read is almost identical to the xcessive. Quote Link to comment
nustad Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Looks like there could be an interference issue with the upper inlet on some radiators. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Why bother? Its WAY overkill for anything but a turbo motor. It flows so much better that its better suited for high rpm and forced induction. Sell your piece of art, and make some money. You would probably be better off with the stock mani and the Z32 Throttle body. 1 Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Looks way cleaner IMO but I've always hated how the intake rakes across the engine bay. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 The stock intake is curled around and down to lengthen it. Long runners take advantage of the free torque from the ram air effect at lower RPMs. 2 Quote Link to comment
bluebird4200 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Here is how I am going about it. Quote Link to comment
sentra Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 i have a xcessive manifold that i will use on my 510 getting the KA24DET i still have not fully installed it but i can say that if you are not planing on making over 300hp to the wheels dont bother with it mainly do to the fact u will need to get a top feed fuel rail, the stock injectors/rail will not fit on it . and use bosch style 14mm top feed injectors. so you will need some kind of managment for them.BUT the xcessive manifold fits better on a 510 going N/A. the throttle body is about 1 inch pushed forword and about 6 inches up higher then stock location. so it will fit with custom air intake. but with turbo from the TB to a FMIC is so close it makes it a problem. i can see why in the pic the guy decided not to use a Ic.

DISLEXICDIME Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 if you Go THE God Speed Rout Make Sure you Clean Up All The Flashing INSide THE Manifold AND around where the injectors seal Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Here is how I am going about it. I would route that intake pipe away from the hot rad air and run the air in from in front of the rad. I know they run better with a long pipe between MAF and throttle body so run it straight out past the rad, elbow and ten across the front of the rad and to the MAF. EFI will compensate for cooler denser air and give more free power. Quote Link to comment
nustad Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks for the input going to use stock manifold for now. Quote Link to comment
HAM8URGER Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Here's mine Mocking everything up it appears that we are going to have to make a custom pie cut pipe in an "s" shape or curled shape running from TB to IC. It's going to be tight but should work Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 That's going to be tight. Are you going to have to trim the plenum to relocate the throttle body? Looks like it from here. Quote Link to comment
HAM8URGER Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 It' should fit. This angle is deceiving. Worst case scenario we will have to weld a 90 directly to the TB.... Not that big of a deal Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Do your ic pipe in a downword spiral 1 Quote Link to comment
