ok so the time has finally come to do my engine swap and get my car running again. it's only the SOHC KA going in, but at least the car will run again. there's some pics of the engine coming out and of the engine bay that's now painted as well. check out my site, the link is in my signature. page 4 now has the finished car pics put back together and outside, and page 5 has the beginning of the engine swap. let me know what you guys think.
not bad not bad...but in the pics you can kinda tell the paint was cheap lol
engine bay looks nice and clean good job on that
why are you putting in the stock KA? and how did you fill in the body lines? i just removed the gay ass stripes goin down my body too...

i got the stock KA24E because it's easy and readily available. i dont have the money right now to do the CA swap, which might be happening soon tho. an engine swap will come some time or another. but there is nothing wrong with the KA24E. it gives enough power to drift with, that's all that matters
Do you have a Ka24e? If you did, you would know they blow goats.
Good luck with the rest of your project! www.240sx.org has people selling CHEAP dohc engine swaps....were talking $200 or so.

ya but if you take a KA24E and a KA24DE and you modify the two with the same parts. At the end, doesn't the missing cam create a big difference in performance??
I just think that if the second cam creates a big difference hp it's worth the extra bucks.....

There isnt that much of a power difrenece with the two engines. The DE head flows more stock and has high comprestion ratio then the E giving it greater HP and torque.
The E engine dose have an advangage over the DE in that more NA race development on it. the highest HP KA engine gose to the E engine in race forum. most of that is with head work, cams, and carb setups. things most people cant and dont do for a daily driver.
The DE has more technology in it, making it better for safe boost then the E. it has piston oil squrters, and a knock sensor. its also a newer engine and most likely has less miles alowing it to run boost longer stock then the E engine.
as for both engines, in the end running the simalar mods, CR, head work, and boost. they would have very close HP to each other.

^ sounds good to me...yet...too good to be true...a better flowing head always means more power...put a DE head on an E(dont try this at home) and u'll see that its still better...although, i'd turbo an E for sake of longterm costs, cuz if you blow a head or break a cam(wich, might be impossible), or sumthin, E parts are cheaper...this whole post is a waste of time with info no1 cares about...hmm...to lazy to erase it...

If you're a driving person, this saying has meaning..
I already posted that the DE flows better stock then the E, thats a know fact. although its not a great amount better, with the exhaust side haveing the greatest flow advantage. i was just saying that the E has more parts, and reseach done on its head then the DE. also the fact that side draft carbs bolt up to the E head, alowing super high CR for raceing engines. down the road once my E engine has had enough from boost, and daily abuse i will pull the rods and builed a DE engine. just for the knock sensor, piston oil squarters, better ignition system, and better exhaust manifolds to chose from. i just dont feel people should knock 1 engine or the other. i think that they are both easly able to produce 350hp with a decent rebuild, even without a 8k redline.

alright, all of you. get the fuck out of my thread unless you're on the topic at the top.
Sorry about what seems to be a hijacked thread. I think its fine that your swaping in a KAe engine in, and i just thought i would stick up for the KA engine. i have pulled my engine out enough times to do it all in a day. keep us updated on how things go

Darken your indicators. Get some clear and mix in a bit of black 2 pak. Test spray on a piece of perspex until the right shade is achieved. Then spray the indicators. You can get them quite dark and still have the globe show up nicely. I think it will make your frontend look cleaner.
Maybe also paint the center garnish between the tail lights the same black as the other panels. Personally i think it looks great (i have it done on mine) Maybe also add the same smoke treatment to the rear lights but not as necessary as the front.
All you need then is some lowering springs, an N1 style cannon exhaust and maybe source some beat up 5 or 6 spoke 17" rims and fix them up and powdercoat them white or gunmetal grey.
Do you have a Ka24e? If you did, you would know they blow goats.
