I'm going to be getting my re-enlistment bonus soon, and was looking into getting some stuff for my 89 coupe. It only has the single cam engine, which I'm okay with. Back when I was a honda guy I made an 11 second D16. I'm mostly going to do suspension stuff to the coupe, but I would like to do some stuff to the engine, I haven't been able to find anything for the KA24E only the DE or the SR20. Like I said earlier I used to be a honda guy and ALOT of hondas parts are interchangable. My question is, are the basic intake and exhaust parts the same on the DE? I know people are going to suggest doing an engine swap but that is far away from my ability, due to me needing the car on a daily basis.

So summing it all up I was wondering if anyone knows what is interchangable on the E and DE.

Thanks, I was hoping you weren't going to say that. Looks like I'm going to have to search alot more for aftermarket stuff.

Basicly what I'm looking for is Intake manifold and header. But after looking at the Turbo install on the install page I'm thinking I might try a small turbo setup. So I might be needing to upgrade the pistons. But for now all I would like is Intake manifold, intake, headers and exhaust.
