ka24e carburated

[Dori Star]

building a ka24c out of my ka24e since my engine wiring harness cought on fire, but i dont know where to find intake plenum's for the carb's, does anyone know where to find them?

Hmm... Where could one obtain a manifold such as the one in the picture you posted?

By "plenum" do you mean the filters? If so I believe you could go with air horns and Pipercross filters.

I can get you one for $360, but it may take me 1-4 weeks to get as im not going to invest in a batch for a while.





These are same as ones that used to be in nismo catalog, same manufacture. They utilize older datsun upper water necks and 240sx power steering cannot be used without modification.

I think $360 is a little pricey. I mean there really isn't just a whole lot there.

You can still get them from nissan motorsports, $450, I dont know if they still carry them but they did at least up to a couple months ago. Used ones go from 200-300 but are a rare find. I dont agree with the price thats just how it is.

Any idea why they dont make?/sell em anymore? Is nissan moving on to bigger and better things? sounds like a good price for the manifold .....I paid bout 450 couple yrs ago

[Veriest1]

I'm not blaming you for the price man. I understand how it goes.

However, I think I can utilize the stock plates and 4 pieces of pipe for a whole lot less than the price. Plus I get to set my own runner length.

devious, I noticed that the mounting holes for the carbs are elongated. Im wonderin if this manifold was made to possibly run bigger that 50's throttle plates. what do you think of these engines running bigger that 44mm carbs? I know this depends on the engine combo but have you seen anyone run good with anything bigger than 44's?
