[Boricuanology]

Can somebody help me out , Im trying to get ARP studs for head and main for the single cam "KA24E", and all I found was a kit (head and main) for KA24DE, PS- as soon as I learn how to put photos here i will give u guys an overdose of pictures and information.

[Boricuanology]

Thanks for trying Nismo Freak, but now Im really lost, I will try to get one of my Nerd, geek looking friends to help me.

[veilside180sx]

I believe since I'm going through this too, the bottom ends on both the E and DE are the same which means they should be able to use the same ARP headstuds. I have to figure this out soon as well, so were in the same boat.

"I believe since I'm going through this too, the bottom ends on both the E and DE are the same which means they should be able to use the same ARP headstuds. I have to figure this out soon as well, so were in the same boat."

so you mean the "main studs" NOT THE HEAD, since you say that the DE and the E uses the same bottom end.

Florida240sx, where in florida are u located? Ventura Racing, the guy responsible for 8.1ET's lives in Florida.

[deviousKA]

Hey Boricuanology, I remember your cars to! haha. The pics still arent showing up btw.

was yours the blue one that was always under construction back in the day? I always liked that car.

"[IMG][/IMG] "use this if you pictures are already on the web or a server somewhere that has access fro downloading by other members. use the attach button for picures on your local hard drive to upload them.

[gabossie]

wow, sounds really interesting! For the photos, why don't you just upload them to the members rides... then you can post them here, or just give us a link to your album.http://nissaninfiniticlub.net/photopost/

[DRIFTEADOR]

you need have someone host your pictures. the link above will allow you to do that. once hosted, right-click the image, click on properties, and copy the link that appears under "address." that is the link that goes between "[IMG][/IMG]"

you can post any picture already hosted online this way. for example, here is this website's banner

how much power was it making on those runs? and is this your motor? i'm kinda lost

[veilside180sx]

Correct me if I'm wrong the head studs should mount into the shortblock then the head slips over them and is torqued down with the nuts on top of the head. That's why I said that the DE and E should be the same for them, because if the shortblock is the same the headbolts have to run through in the same position for them to work. Make sense?

[95_240sx]

Thats doesnt mean the the base surface on the head to the top of the hole for the stud is the same distance.

[veilside180sx]

Makes sense...I'll keep looking into it before I purchase any then for myself too.=)

FYI I see a Datsun 1200, but where is the motor shots?

[Silvia2b]

yeah lets see you 2400

[Boricuanology]

Im trying, im trying! I managed to put the one of my Datsun thru Datsun1200.com, but I guess it was to big, now is not letting me put another one, Im probably doing something wrong, again!! Somebody mention that I can posted them here in a photo album or something like that. Have patien with me eventually i will get it.

[deviousKA]

Use this photo hosting here on Nico, like mentioned before.

http://nissaninfiniticlub.net/photopost

Since your a member you should have no problem uploading pictures to there from your computer.

Did you have that 1200 up on ebay recently? I recall it being for sale w/o the engine but all set up for the ka. If I had a few extra g's i would have bought it.

[Boricuanology]

How can I umplug them here in NICO. I try and all i can see is other members photos. Yes I was planing on selling my baby to build a more modern drag car like a 98 240sx but It didn't work out like I wanted too, so im keeping my baby.

IMHO it's easier to just use imageshack

you click "browse" find the picture on your hard drive, click "host it!" it will load the picture and even write the tag for you.

just copy the "thumbnail for forums 1" or "link for forums 1" tag and paste it in your post and it will display the picture

I'm as anxious as everyone else to see this head...

[Boricuanology]

Thanks a lot ! finally, after almost a week. I just need to play with it so i can put more pictures in

[Boricuanology]

No, mines is not blue, but mines its still under construction thou! LOL

[Boricuanology]

Ok here we go! The first picture is the one for the Turbo set up, and no this is not my set up, is the set up of Ventura Racing a Toyota Starlet which unfuntally was total while tunnig for more power to break into the 7's keep in mind that the 8.1 and 8.2ET's where the first time that this car went to the 1/4 of mile track. Some body ask for the HP of the set up, According to Michael Ventura: 703.89 HP@30 PSI. The second Picture is my baby with what it would be for now my Nitrous set up, using dual weber carbs , the next picture is showing the engine intall + showing the tubes from the 3/4 chassis to the front and showing off the KA24E cromed head cover that i got from a guy on ebay. As you can see in the picture I think i have enouth space for the turbo manifold. [IMG][/IMG]
