  Cold air intake on ka24e


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 http://forums.nicoclub.com/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

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 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
