ok i have dont plenty of research, so far i know i need the ka24de motor, ecu, wire harness and dash cluster. and to keep the power steering i need to swap in the 91-93 lines. i dont want the a/c so i dont care about that lol. on some sites i have been told i need to look at certain conectors and others im told i dont. also on the wire harness do i need the complete wire harness from bumper to bumper or do i just need from the computer into the engine bay of the harness. and one more thing, i know that the ka series motors arent good for turbo because the internals are on the weak side??? from what im told. so far my plan is to send my de out to get rebuilt and then swaped into my 8 90 240sx and then turbo'd. i found one site only so far that seems like they know a thing or two, can anyone tell me if there ka buildup layout is decent enough to withstand 300 rwhp max? thx.website to place is http://www.phatka-t.com/engineparts.htm

well nvm on the rebuilding and turboing it. found out its alot cheaper to just swap in a sr. in any case im still going to swap in the de (so that at least the power steering lines and everything are already there) so i still need to know about the conector and the wire harness if someone can help me.
