KA24de rebuild questions

[hamstrizl]

Hey just wondering if the following "upgrades" to my engine during rebuild would be beneficial or a waste of money?

Ka24e pistons (do i need JUST the pistons/rods swapped?)exhaust cam for intakelightweight pulleys/ flywheeltuned ecu 360cc injectors fuel pump, FPR??polished Throttle body header 2.5" exhaust premium plugs/ wires

any opinions would be appreciated just looking for a little more power in DD(tired of getting smoked by SUV's )

You are on the right track,just add a turbo to the mix and your Suv problem is solved!

If you are not boosted I don't see any need for larger injectors or upgraded fuel pump. But I would hope that whoever "tunes" the ECU will have recommendations for any upgrades.

hey man i have a tip an a couple of ideas for which i have a build ka24de motor in my altima lol yea altima any way start for the bottom and work to the top meaning piston ,crank, rods, (bottom end) an then get your head machine cleaned an worked on such a vented or port and polish... next try to get nice valves and springs to fit your top nicely machine head an slap on some brian crower stage two cams adjust timing and tune (top end ) . adding intake turbo exaust spray are all just add ons after you have it built motor the more hp you put on it the easier it brakes i would stick with NA instead of turbo or nitrous. and all the upgrades above will defintley roast wateva suv even this big ones.

Sounds pretty good so far. The ka-e pistons will work with your rods. I would have crank balanced with new flywheel. If you do the cam swap you will need cam gears with adj. timing and then degree the cams.I don't think you need injectors, fuel pump, or FPR, or polish throttle body. I would maybe go with Q45 flow meter. Stock flow meter is restrictive at higher rpm's. I also would also find a J30 diff with 4.36 gear and VLSD.
