I for one hope they don't switch to the new 2.5 liter engine in the Frontier since it's not built nearly as well as a KA24DE.Yeah, mine's slow too(11.2@60mph in the 1/8th)but it is so damn bulletproof that I don't really have any complaints.The 2.5 has an open deck aluminum block and cast crank that is not as good as the closed deck high nickel iron block and main cap girdle with forged crank and rods that the KA gets.I've smacked the fuel cutoff so many times that I can't even begin to count(about 10x a week!) yet still haven't even had to replace the clutch even after 190k miles- all of it pizza delivery.There are things that you can do to improve the power output of the KA,most of them are mods for the '91-up 240sx which uses the same motor. There are turbo kits for those cars that should adapt to the Frontier or there's always an engine swap to the SR20DET!
