2004 KA24DE

Post by **DMan II-40** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 9:52 am

The KA24DE was produced all the way until 2004 in the Nissan Xterra and Frontier. Has anyone ever swapped one of those newer engines into a 240sx? I been here for a couple years and never seen anything about it.

Wow.. that's interestingI guess it would be the same since it's the same engine blockReason why I haven't seen it I guess is cause it would be more expensive and harder to find a salvage Xterra or Frontier...

i would think they would have switched to an aluminum block in the last few years of it? Plus i am sure the head design would be way different even the way it would bolt on.

Mexican KA's. Theyre probably just as garbage as the ones we have now.

its weird stuff.

Im pretty sure the block mounting points are also differnt. And do Xterras come with KA's?

Post by **DMan II-40** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 12:29 am

Yea according to wikipedia xeterra's did come with KAs unlill 2004. im guessing that is was the lowest model. I just wanted to know if anyone really has and any expeience with the newer KAs and if they have been swaped into our beloved 240sxes at aNY POINT. WOW IM ****ED UP AND IM GOING OT BED NOW. WATY TO MUCH TO DEINK ON MY BIRTHDAY, LOL.. PEACE.

Not really, I'm not sure about the Xterras, but when you read about most 510 owners swapping in a KA, it's the Frontier block. There's a company that makes a complete dry sump kit for the Mexican blocks. There's another thread where I've outlined some of the difference that I know of. There could be more though, I'm not sure.

Agreed!!! i like the ability to goto the junkyard and get something off a KA that broke

I think the SR's are overrated. It is just a more expensive, less powerful RB25 or even a KAT for the price. SR's should only be installed if you are going full JDM Silvia or Sil-eighty in my opinion.

Post by **Razi** » Thu Oct 30, 2008 10:06 pm

Or if you like the different powerband.

Post by **-RJ-** » Fri Oct 31, 2008 7:29 am

or a light motor

It's not that I don't like them or are trying to shoot them down, but they are so f-ing expensive!!

add a T-5 to a T-7 if ya can find one under 5k and you have a 500 to 700hp animal with the ka24de..and it can hold back the monster too!
