I have a KA24E in my hardbody PU. The intake manifold is designed for low end torque and makes NO top end power. It has no plenum at all. I'm going to be turbocharging it shortly and would like to swap in a larger intake. I'm wondering if the bolt pattern is the same on the intake side of the head for the KA24E vs. DE? If not then I assume the intake off the 90ish 240's that had the KA24E would bolt on? Anyone have one of these intakes for sale?

no, the patterns are different.

i know the truck KA and 240sx KA do not have the same head, so i'd assume that the bolt patterns are different.

Would any of you chaps be able to tell me if the ka24e exhaust manifold can be swapped with the ka24DE's exhaust manifold?

I assume that they can not or different products would not be sold for each, but I would just like for someone to confirm if the bolting pattern is different.

Thank you very much.
