Cold air intake on ka24e

[BigD369]

Hi, I am very new to mechanics and I would like to ask a few questions...I would like to install a cold air intake on my ka24e but I can't find any DIY tutorials, the closest thread I found was zerothread/162395 but this is for the S14 and it is for the Ka24de, I'm not sure if I can use that on my ka24e as they are different engines. I have also tried searching for CAI for ka24e on forums, ebay, etc. but I can't find any for the ka24e, I was wondering if I can use the ka24de CAI intake on my ka24e? I would appreciate it if someone sent me some DIY tutorials and some answers

Well im very new to this but i just check ebay and they had some short ram intakes labeled for the s13 ka24e

just search ebay and hopefully you will find something.

CAI arent gonna do anything for your car. youre could just remove the airbox and replace it with a cone filter for the same effect.

I would just get a cone filter but I want the tube aswell.Hmm I don't want a short ram...I want the injen one but they don't ship these to canada.

I also have a KA24DE and am searching for a CAI, however the stock intake that goes into the fender is actually concidered a CAI. If you are looking for the clean look of a tube and filter that I am, schucks sells universal intake kits that should bolt straight up. you can make the kit for about 30-40 $ depending where you go.

okay JR. quick physics lesson, the longer the tube the air has to go through, the harder it has to work to get there. You want more air in your engine, so shorter=better. Also, a real cold air intake is plumbed into the wheel well or headlight to take it as far away from the engine as possible which also means that anytime you go over/through a puddle: your engine gets water in it and is trashed. and by trashed I mean get ready to throw out the whole thing and buy a new one homey. the headlight solution is okay until you get pulled over and ticketed once a week for missing a headlight. Some of the new kits now have a adapter so that on rainy days take off the final piece of intake piping so as to avoid that, but thats too much work for my big lazy @$$. I say Apollas has the right idea, just buy a 3"-6" piece of piping and the cone filter and roll with that. Also the diff between a KA24e and ka24de is in the letters after KA24. The D is nissans code that the engine is dual overhead cam instead of a single cam (camshafts being the guys that open the intake/exhaust ports on your engine). Two cams are better than one but as soon as you read up on it you will see why. The E in the engine code stands for EFI (designating it as a Electronically Fuel Injected engine as opposed to a a carb'd model) any more ???'s

I tried a intake for the DE on my E and it didn't fit. The vaccume hoses didn't line up and the MAF adapter didn't fit either. I just went with a MAF adapter and cone filter. Hope this helps

i dont know if anyone told you yet or not, but Injen makes a system for the KA24e, and if you go to their web site you will find the step by step procedure for installing it, i bought mine off of Ebay

ok. here are some questions, hope yall dont mind helpin out a newbie.

1) would the same intake kits fit KA24DE and KA24E?

2) If I am to actually buy an intake kit, what exactly comes in it? Cause here is my problem - my oxygen sensor has taken a dump, so I need to replace it, and I also wanna try to get some extra power while at it.

3) Would it make sense to buy a whole CAI kit, or just the cone filter and oxygen sensor?

edit: and if I am to install only the cone filter on a pipe and then the oxygen sensor, what would I do with the slots for IAT sensor, and the boost sensor? just let them hang there, or what?

[BigD369]

Sorry to bump an old thread...what maf adapter did you get? did it include mini pipe for the hose and a iat sensor mount? where can I get one?

[locoluna825]

on that kit there is no adapter completely bolt on made my injen
