I need some help

my Ka24det just blew up. should i put an rb in my 240 or an sr20det and will the rb26det fit thanks

Depends on how many thousands of dollars you want to spend?Everything can be made to fit for $10,000. When you add or subtract engine transmission weight you must change the spring rates to balance. Even a V10 or V12 can be made to fit with a total redesign [frame widening]

Obviously just replacing the EXACT engine with a junkyard take out is the least expensive maybe $2,500- 3,000 [including R&R the engine].

Why did you let your engine blow up? What did you do wrong in the build or operation?

i ran it to hard a couple pistons broke the whole thing over heated plus i had a lot of miles on the car it just died on me. I'm not worried about the cost i just wanna know what engine would be the best perfromer in the car thanks

If you aren't worried about the cost, I'd put in the McLaren F1 motor. Then twin turbo it. It might cost a couple hundred thousand dollars for all the fabrication you will have to do, but if money isn't an issue...... :bowdown

Engine don't just blow up without help! The factory ecu programming makes that impossible if the oil has been changed [at 3 month intervals] and all the sensors are operating even at 200,000 miles............well the 2.4 truck engine is not the greatest design but still.

Q45tech, He said KA24DET I guess this guy Turbo charged a 200k motor. I wonder why his pistons Burned up? HHHHMMMMMMM

It probably blew up cause you ran the engine too lean or under massive amount of boost. Wasn't the concensus at 6-7psi boost for a stock KA with turbo?
