ka24de na

the ka itself was not necessarily designed for high rpm operation but u could modify the crank to reflect what u want.

ka24de -bore 89.0 mm
-stroke 96.0 mm

making the engine undersquare (bore smaller than stroke)

long stroke engines have habit of making plenty of torque but make less hp and higher rpm (why the ka seems flat at higher rpm)

just destroking the engine by 7.0mm would enable the engine to rev a bit higher before encountering harmonics issues with the block

anyways its just an expensive idea.....who knows what it would do as no one has ever tried it
