Okay, this might be a question that has been bounced around alot, but i dont feel like searching for it through all the posts. I have a 1990 nissan 240sx. It has the KA24E in it. It also has the 4 speed automatic tranny. I was contemplating buying a KA24DE and having it professionally rebuilt with all aftermarket high performance low weight parts (such as an aluminum block, titanium piston heads and rods, etc.) and add a turbo on it before I swap the engine. I'm also contemplating converting to a 5 speed. Anybody know whether this is a good idea or have any suggestions? get back with me on here please.

Thanks,Mike

Oh, and just to let everybody know, I used to sport a Honda Accord LX-i and converted to Nissan... No looking back now...

Hmmmm.....I'll help ya out before all the guys get a hold of you....Nissan = Good Turbo = GoodUSE THE SEARCH BUTTON!

Thx, i'm done now.

It depends. If you want to drift or drag race a 5 speed is nice. If you do a lot of crusin and dont care for shifting, stay with the auto. do you have a lot of traffic in jonesboro? I lived in chicago for 17 years and a 5 speed in rush hour traffic on 290 sucked the big one? ITs really up to you.

I CONVERTED FROM THE H CROWD 3 YEARS AGO AND WILL NEVER TURN BACK. LONG LIVE NISSAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
