I got a 89 ka24e with rebuilt engine that i d like to make into a daily driver/street racerengine and transmission are in excellent condition while the chasis is rotting all over, the brakes are totally useless and air conditioning/sound system is not working performance mods uptil now areintake,intercooler,new harnessing, engine internals (new pistons and rings to be specific), test pipe, 3' exhaust pipe and 4' exhaust tip, racing clutch and removed all power windows,locks blah blah here are my options1- get a new chasis,swap the ka24e and transmission and all the other mods into it then turbo charge it (is turbo charging ka24e is harder than ka24de ??)2- get a new car 91-94 ka24de then turbo charge it3- just rebuild/weld the frame put in new brakes,sounds system and yes you guest it TURBO charge it :D4- maybe just maybe get a ca18det (got one here for 400$) and get a new chasis and put it in (whish i could get rb25det but too expensive)

so any suggestions will be welcome :confused:

oh also very strange problem; I cannot stop the wipers while the engine is on unless i take out the fuse any guesses:confused:

sorry for the spelling

I'd go for #4. It'd be cheapest and probably the easiest.

In regards to #1, i BELIEVE it's harder to turbo the ka24e, but i'm not totally sure - get a second or third opinion on this.

Rebuilding the frame and putting in a turbo, brakes and sound system will likely cost you more than just an engine swap, and more time.
