just thinkin.... doubt this will work

[hybrid_flyer]

Since BC is now making stroker kits for the ka24de, I was wondering if the kit would work in a sohc??

Anyone??

Anyone??

Bueller??

Bueller??

thanks

cant you put a dohc head on the sohc if yes then i would say that the stroker kit would work although i dont know if the blocks are diffrent from one to the other, i should ive owned both motors just never compared the blocks i guess.

[srpowered240sx]

heads are different. bottom ends are different. i would venture a guess to and say no.

[heartofaskyline]

i dont see why you would want too. With the plethora of ka-de's out there, just buy a de for 200 bux.

[MadmikeX3]

i would have to say yes it would work since ive heard of ppl putting in the SOHC flat top pistons in there DOHCs.

[Fla240sx]

I think for the price of that kit you are WAAAAAAAAAY better off with a turbo........ and way more power to boot.......

[hybrid_flyer]

this isn't a which engine is better thread i just want to know if the stroker kit will fit....

[tonynalli]

Not without modification to the block just like any other stroker kit...

[Fla240sx]

THE problem with the KA is, its so long of a stroke already, and you plan to make it have even longer stroke? I could see on a Honda B or H series... but a KA?

people say at about 6k rpm's the crank is beating itself up so badly due to balance issues and how high the piston speed is....... and your going to make that even worse!

not the brightest idea..... for what? 10 hp?

have fun when you blow up a 4,000 dollar stroker kit

since the stroker kit comes with a new crank dont you think they would balance it for the rpm range its goin to be used in????

and you still arent offering any information relevant to the topic. I could care less what your opinion is on the subject I was just curious if it would work.

[Fla240sx]

nissan balances their cranks too.......

also please show me information on the stroker kit where it talks about high rpm and a new redline....... I just would like to know.....

I hope to god your not thinking your going to have some kind of 8k rpm high revving race motor?

buy a SR20DE, solid lift valvetrain conversion, Big cams, high compression, port head... light crank, electric fans, no accessories, light *** flywheel... and your DONE with a lot more RPM potential then a KA ever will

then you can have a 9k rpm engine that will probably make more power, last longer, and be half the price........

[ChrisBauder]

i agree i dont see why anyone would put a ton a cash into a ka24dewhen they can buy an sr20 and use the same money for more horseysi am sure you r limited to how much horsepower in the kawhich sux cause that is what i am stuck with

[nzmoman]

specs on the kit.... a Link... I'd would like to see what you are looking at too.

here is a link to the ka24de page on the BC website

ONCE AGAIN I DONT CARE WHAT ENGINE YOU THINK IS BETTER I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF IT WOULD WORK

[S13FX]

Yes the kit would work. However wen you order I would recommend talking to them first about piston selections.

Since DE piston in a SOHC will yield higher compassion by quite a bit.

And for anyones information the Crank in the BC kit is a full counter weight crank which is 100x better then our crank which is balanced by a harmonic balancer.

In other words a fully weighted crank at high rpms owns our stock crank no matter how long the stroke is.

Piston speed isn't bad at all and not a problem, there is a thread on here that completely compares pistons speeds to current stroke and the kits stroke.

One thing that I would worry about that kit is your cylinder wall thickness after boring it out.

AMS cracked one of their walls at a lil over 700.

hey man i just wonder if u have the picture of the drain plug of the cylinder block.tnx

Please have knowledge before posting.

Thanks S13FX and Florida240sx for the info and help

People toss ka's out all the time in CA. You can probably score one for under $100 if not free. Grab a dohc to build so you don't have a headache.Just turbo the ka instead of stroking it....

well they make great parts for the sohc, and big power was never in the plans for my daily driver. was thinking stock bottom with a little head work was enough.

i you look on the website it does say that it has the potential for higher RPMs on the race spec motor. i don't think it would be much 500-1000 at the most but nothing close to a SR.

Race SpecificationLonger duration profile, added rpm potential. Intended for fully built engine. Tuning and ECU mods recommended. Requires kit BC0210. V3 Specification. May require mild cylinder head clearancing

[Brandon93240]

The kit will physically work with your block. You'd have to take it to a machine shop and have the block work done. I'm sure BC would make you some pistons for you application in a compression ratio you'd be happy with. How many people use BC's camshafts? I know I do and plenty more do on ka-t also, so if their cam's are good wtf would they go threw the headache of stroking the ka if it wasn't benefitial. I'm actually thinking of finding a white sohc hatch to put the bc stroker in with tbi and a t3 super 60 to road race at msr.

[S13FX]

I stroke my KA every day, with a happy ending too :p

So you "installed" your rods with the big end or the little end? J/k with ya.

be sure to use lots of lube...assembly lube that is
