I present to u my built KA24DET

[240sxfan6882]

Its looking great! I don't have many photos of the internals, and the ones i do have a crappy, but here's some outside photos of it on a crate.

I have been piecing this engine together for a while, and after so long here it is. It doesn’t have much “bling” factor, but that’s the way I like it. I have a powder coated Valve cover coming in soon to make it easier on the eyes. Anyways the specs are:

Turned and polished crank and all the machining that goes with a rebuild.ARP Main and head studs.Clevite bearings on rods and crank.New piston oil jets; old were gone on block..20 overbore with Supertech 9:1:1 forged pistons.Pauter rods.Cometic head gasket.Port and polished head with high performance angle job and refinished head.New OEM Oil pump (DE are soo pricey!!! )New OEM Water PumpNew OEM Timing chain kit with tensioners.New Nismo ThermostatNewer 5 speed transmission with B&M Shifter. Its going on monday thru wednesday! Im soo excited! Ill let u guys know how it goes!

Stock upper end.

I’m going to be pushing 15psi at first with this engine. Later on ill see how much more ill want to push. Ill keep you guys posted on whats to come. Any questions ill be glad to answer! Thank you for looking!

looking good. how much did it run ya?

[240sxfan6882]

I forgot to tell u the truth, i have the receipt somewhere but it was a couple of Gs. The Oil pump was like $306 alone. The machining wasn't cheap neither. I went with a well known shop for it. Hmm... around $2200 for Machine shop, labor, engine swap, and like $800 or so for the new OEM parts..that's not including the Internals. say around $3k for everything from start to finish. Ouch i know..but im never going cheap again! This is not cheap but I know itll be good.

it's friggin beautiful man!!!!!!!!!!!!

sweet, looks good mang! i just got done doing the same myself. yeah you dont have to tell me about the oil pump. i got mine for $260 from my local nissan dealer. i would have to say you got ripped on yours. what turbo setup are you running?

[240sxfan6882]

Yeah the pump was a big hit. Courtesy nissan wanted like $350 or something for one. The shop i went with gave it to me at their cost, everythign else was a bit cheaper than Courtery Nissan. My setup is a GroundZero manifold, Garrett GT3076r turbo, Greddy RS Bov, Z32MAF, Enthalpy ECU, Greddy KA intercooler kit modified for a BOV, Profec SPec B type II boost controller, 650cc Deachwerks Injectors, JGS oil ines for GT, Apex Power Intake. Custom air intake, and downpipe, Tial 38mm, RSR Exmag or BLitz Nur spec cat. And some Saga gauges and other little things.

where'd you get your motor built at? i'd like to check out a shop. i'm looking to rebuild a ka. hottank, port polish, balance, 3-way, and more.

[jpadilla12]

Looks really good, can't wait to see the car in action.

[hannibal]

Nice motor. Seems like a lot more built KA's popping up lately. I guess folks are deciding to spend the cash and do it right. Its just what the KA deserves...

[240sxfan6882]

Heya! I got it built at http://www.ctuneracing.com They arent cheap, but their work is outstanding. Are u located in LA? Let me know if u want more info.

[Checkered-Member]

I actually would like some, I live in orange county so, Walnut isn’t too far away.Can you give me a more detailed list of things done, and the price.

[Juujai]

yeah i've heard of them. my friend is having his sr built there right now lol. send me an email if you can with some of the things you did with prices if possible. thanks.

i think i just want my ka rebuilt so i can drive day and night without worrying about it. [email protected]

what i'm worried about is their suspension parts. they're not that great and they still sell em. i'm not really sure how that makes me feel about their work.
