help me please!!!!!!

[tupac03602]

aight, i need to know cuz its drivin me insane here. i have posted a couple of diff threads about little different things with the motors ka24e and ka24de. now i have a 1990 240 fastback. i have the origional ka24e in it. i dont plan on putting alot of hp into my motor, all i plan on is a small turbo, intercooler weather front or side mount (probibly front) turbo made headers, turbo made downpipe, i dont have a clue about a cat yet, and a apexi d1 dual muffler. i have been considering upgrading my fuel injectors and charging system, the carging system is mainly because i have been told it helps alot and im about to put a major system in it. im wondering with these mods i plan on (also stuff like a cold air intake too) should i just keep my ka24e and rebuild it with all the boltons and drop it in or should i rebuild a ka24de with all the boltons??? what do u think the difference would b?? like i said i have read and posted and re-read and i cant seem to find a complete answer!!! lol would u please help me!!!

listen guy, i live in CT and im gonna come up there and bust your little head open unless you search and READ, just shutup for like 3 months, then when your educated, ask questions

thank you and have a nice day

oh yeah, the DOHC alternaters generally retail for about 60 dollars more

I don't know if I would be as harsh as Mr Wanabe240 but I'd say you need to do some research on this whole engine thing. It appears to me that you don't really have the first clue about motors or tuning, let alone forced induction. But thats ok, cause we all started at the same point you are now, or somewhere close.

Swapping over to the DE engine alone for you will be a difficult task. Alot of things don't match up. You can't just remove one and drop in the other.

There are pletny of companys out there who will do good custom work. If your worried about the parts for the KA24E, then just have them fabbed up.

But you seriously need to do some more research before you ask questions as open ended as the one above.

We don't know how much money you want to spend, how much hp you want to have, whose doing the work and so on. You also need to pick a plan and stick with it.

frist things first, all you people that only tell someone to search, please dont. if no one answers there question they will figure it out, or ask something more refind. only telling them to search just waists there time and others. So either do what WD did, and help then recomend that they research more, or dont say anything.

tupac03602 - here is what you need to do1st - decide how much power you want2nd - figure out how much money you can spend3rd - if your HP goals are higher then your buget, then figure out another game plan to get what you want.4th - start learning as much as you can about your goals. weather it be turbo, NA, show, daily driver thats just a bit funer to driver, or to all out race only car.5th - take on small mods for your car yourself (so you can get a better understanding of your car).

Alot of what makes cars fun are dreaming, and trying to find out as much as posable about what they can do, and become. so have some fun with it, and dont get discurage if things dont work out. if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

I have already spent twice what i paid for on my 90 FB. and i am not even close to where i want to be.

I dont think you should change to a dohc. I was faced with the same thoughts but if your not trying to break any speed records like you said why swap motors just to put a small t3 and a side mount intercooler. From my research the Ka24e can make good power (realnissan.com to name one site). Anyway they are right the search button will show threads on this topic (pros and cons).

[tupac03602]

well i have tried the search button and i just cant find the answers im really looking for. i have been poppin onto various web pages and finding some info here and there but nothing that really is gonna help me alot. jrc i totally agree with what u said for what i should do. i have thought about how much power i want, but, im not really after high number hp anymore. i guess in the end i was mainly wonderin if it would b worth the extra time and money to throw in an engine that would only increase me 15 hp and eat more gas. i think ill stick to my ka24e and work on that one thx alot!!!! u guys

[tupac03602]

o yea one more thing, i did have a plan, i just needed a starting point, i have read and searched a little i just cant type or write down what i think. that is a big reason y my questions r so open ended. i know to change over the engine ill have to get a new ecu, wiring harness, power steering lines (pumps on dif sides of the 2 motors) and various do dads and things. i have researched it a little like i said i just cant seem to find the info that i am lookin for. as for wannabe in ct w/e this is the internet so y waste ur time typin silly things like that to peeps when it dont help and just make others laugh at u?? (not sayin in a harsh way so dont take it like that plz) now that i do have a starting point i will focus on a plan, figure it out and be back in a while to ask questions about engine and perfomance, thx alot to JRC and SYKA by the way!!!!! u 2 helped me out the most!!!

[wanabe240esx]

listen tupac, i came off real harsh there, my bad aight

its just that too many come on here asking questions looking for quick easy answers, and cars are not quick and easy things to deal with

instead of searching, just click on the last thread in the "Turbo KA" section and go from there, beleive me, there are little bits of info in there

again, my bad, welcome to NICO

[tupac03602]

lol dont worry about it wannab, i aint just looking for easy answers like i said. i can see y u say that and i do know what u mean so dont worry about it. thx for welcoming me to the forum too. as u might have noticed i have not posted anything in a while. so far i have figured out that i am staying with the ka24e engine. i will make it turbocharged with a tweaked head and have the internals in the block also redone. i am not gonna have it done with anything major just upgraded or sports or what ever u want to call it. im getting all the info (so far) from a auto parts page ill post name later. i am on the net looking for what is good and what is bad like the diff between a external and internal wastegate, and on top of that excatly what it does. so u know i am tryin on ma own lol.

[tupac03602]

uhh if u wanna actually wanna help with quick outs for me, can any one tell me any pages that will have info, detailed info, on a ka24e-t? and info on a ka24e-t with i/c?? or searchwords to use to find these? no one has to but if u do thx alot!!!

[wanabe240esx]

if you havent noticed already its not as common for people to do that KA24E-T as the DOHC, therefore you will have trouble finding any info on the web, i know some people on here have done it, but as far as links regarding a SOHC setup with an i/c it's about the same as any 240 from 89-94

i dont have too many links concerning SOHC setups, but if you want ill shoot you an email with all the links i've collected over a couple month period, couple of em are good with pictures

try http://www.unstable-hybrids.com to start , they're goodand remember, you are a member of this board but feel free(like many others do) and surf the other 240 boards

http://www.freshalloy.com has a good hunk of info, but almost all of it is SR oriented(insert limp wrist here)

good luck
