I thought you were going to save for a new engine? Doing all that stuff keeps you with the stock starting HP....are you sure you want to do all that? Anyways it looks real good and clean for a 90. Nice! I like the no front plate!! Screw front plates!

i may not do the swap there are guys with boosted KA engines pushing 500+ hp same engine i have nissan makes more parts for this motor than any other motor, plus there is the aftermarket . guys with the mods i am doing now run low 14's at the track without spray or boost,, so we'll see.

I had no idea! I knew that you could get lot of good parts, but didn't know you could get them into the 14's so easy! Awesome man, can't wait to get a ride.

i didnt know either till i read alot , plus my discount is good on all those nissan parts!

here are some of the factory parts offered

Factory 9.1:1 Pistons
Flat-top piston increases compression ratio from 8.6:1 to 9.1:1. SOHC 12-valve engine (from engine #KA24 012039) only

The KA24E cylinder head has an uncut (surface-to-surface) thickness of 99mm/3.898". Piston dome and combustion chamber must be modified to achieve desired compression and require the use of special Carrillo steel connecting rod (12100-40FGT). Each JE piston is packaged with a .866 diameter wrist pin and (4) Spirolox. When ordering individual pistons, be sure to specify which cylinder (#1 / #3 or #2 / #4).
RACE APPLICATION ONLY!

KA24 Camshaft
When installing any new camshaft, new OE rocker arms must be used. Basic cam specs are indicated in ( ). The R5 Race cam requires the use of JE pistons and alternate valve train components (see below). OE rocker arm ratio is 1.422:1.

»Hi-Performance Cam (.402"/270 Degrees)
»Race Cam (.550"/288 Degrees & .563"/292 Degrees)
»OE Rocker Arm (Intake)
»OE Rocker Arm (Intake)
»OE Rocker Arm (Exh #1 / #3)

"HIS NISMO 2"

My aunt/uncle had a 1983 200SX for 9 years and put 145K miles on it. It had the same door chimes that I have, too.

i was thinking more like JOEZ 240

I dunno man. The KA needs alot of work to get to the SR20DET's potential in stock form. The SR20DET is also safe upto I think like 20psi? ON stock internals too. After driving and riding in a sr20det powewred 240 I would never hesitate to do the swap. Just my .02 Happy modding

thats what most of the sr fanboys on the 240 site say but the KA guys are putting down just as much and in some case more with the same amount of coin the ka can handle the same boost too in stock form it has 8.6:1 compression and like i said my discount on nissan parts ie piston, cam and all other bits makes it a very cost effective way to do it and if i dont get to that level ill always have a killer ka motor to sell when i do the swap

i havent even metioned the cams gear , pulleys , n2o-which can easy handle 100 shot guys with a 100 shot run 13's on bone stock KA's..... the possiblity on BOTH ends is pretty much endless

Big bucks for a sr swap no. why use a RB25 when you can have the real deal with the RB26. I'm not trying to diss you or slam you in anyways. I hope that's not how it came off? I'm just stating it's a damn good motor the sr20 and it'll take very well to the mods. I've seen KA's modded and they where a hell of alot more then a SR to get up in the 400-500hp range. But then again any car is Sorry if I came off as a dick ..it wasn't my intention

Rice is if it's a Civic DX, 106 HP hamster wheel, with the "junk" on it.

Anyway, Logan, have you looked at www.freshalloy.com ? It's a Nissan fan site and has two 240SX forums, newbie and advanced. Also this one club240.com

You know of any others?

Blitz FMIC
Blitz Full wxhaust

Manual boost controller
ACT clutch
LSD
HIgh flow fuel pump
Everythign tunned to 13 psi
Puting down around 270 tourqe and 260 hp @ THE WHEELS
Running in mid to low 13s

ALL THAT FOR $ 6200.00 INstalled out the door!!!
Plus u keep the old motor!!

BTW since yours is a s13 it will probobly be less cuz U can only use a redtop sr20.
If u ask me thats not bad at all!!
They say tranny is good up to 600 hp!

I had a pleasure of driving one with that set up and GOD DAMN!!

The car had no turbo lag whatsoever!!

geee I bet that's why it's cheaper to get factory nissian parts for the stock motor than to import a motor he can't get through the dealership

Looking good Joe.....need some rims...the stockers look TOO out of place. That exhaust needs to go....that is smaller than a stock Zetec exhaust!!

heres my first look mod while i replaced the valve cover gasket



Posted By: RichSVT_dup1 Re: Some better pics of my car - 02/14/04 09:22 AM
You got a single cam ka24d, you are not going to make a ton of power with this motor. First of all it old, so turboing it its not even worth it cuz it will be like a time bomb. I say just gor for sr. The set up I listed icludes a lot of expensive parts, FMIC, full exhaust thats like $2k alone!! SO that 6200 deal its not that bad if you think what you r getting.. Plus sr20det is known to be a bulletproof engine.

yeah your right the KA makes no power guess this guy got lucky


YOU DON'T seems to understand i can change the piston conneting rods the timing chain and all the internals VERY CHEAP i get 2% over cost on ALL nissan parts!!! and nissan makes a shitload of race parts for the KA and i may go with a SR20 someday , so quit talking about it i know it's out there !!! this isnt a classified so don't try selling me stuff OK i didnt ask for hey what motor can i put in here I KNOW that already , i was showing pics of what I have now.....

age maybe but it has less miles than alot of turboed SVTs on here... and I think the KA is a little more stable than the duratec.
