Alright guysI have a 1990 hatchIts gettin an engine swap pretty soon and I just found a good deal on a KA24DEits $600 for only 60k and its from a 98 240sxIts either this engine or its a CA18DET

After expenses and everything, which engine would end up being a better investment? I dont think the KA comes with the 98 wiring harness or ECU, so im guessing I have to buy a 96+ ECU and harness, im not sure about all this though, but I know that with the KA im going to have to buy certain things to make it work on a 90 240sx, correct me if im wrong. What in all would I have to buy to make the KA work? a list could work, but an est. price would be even better and which swap is easier, the KA or the CA?

BTW, I did search and did some research but I just want to be sure about which engine to get.

Thanks guys

I'd suggest looking for a s13 ecu and harness instead of that 98. Yes, look for the 91-94 ecu and harness for that engine. Also look around for everything else minus the block and head. It'll save you more trouble later with electricals.

So the 91-94 KA harness and ECU will work with the 98 KA on my 90 hatch??????And what exactly is "everything else?" Ive heard I need a new intake, this engine comes with an aftermarket intake, so I might be good with that factor, but im not sure, what are some other things I need though?

Thanks man
