Hi, Whats the difference between the two engines besides the dohc and sohc? What I want to know is, do both engines spray oil on the pistons for cooling? Are injectors interchangeable? Are there any other differences like quality(forge or cast) of pistons/rods?I want to turbocharge the ka24e in the future and I need to know the differences of the two engines.ThanksBen

hmmm, good question and one ive never thought to research. i have seen though, some guys make big power on sohc ka24's. ive heard that they are actually pretty turbo friendly. maybe someone else is a little more knowledgeable.

E lower compression than DE... DE has Oil Squiters ..... DO they both have Iron Blocks??? E has less crap to deal with... ummm E responds better to forced induction... ummmm anything else? Oh yah E Rods Are Forged..
