Ka24e

[BMAR240SX]

I have been looking around and i have a buget of 1g i wanted to hear from the sohc guys on what they have done to there car to get that extra horsepower without the headace i have done my research and look around but i dont want to go buying parts that have not been rated by someone that has used it. I have installed a injen intake and a megan exhuast upgraded all the worn parts bushings transmission mounts etc but now i want some good power that will last and be worth it any options

[nismoracingsx]

are you wanting to stay n/a?? boost is the best bang for the buck as far as power.

[neverlift]

I believe so seeing he doesnt want a headache. I would not call turbo a headache but more of a learning experience.

where in chiefland?

Turbo's can cause lots of headaches if you dont have the time/knowledge/wallet for it.

Youve got a good start with the exhaust and intake.

You can look into getting an underdrive pulley. Its really cheap and frees up some power. Also, Injen makes a CAI extension that is supposed to help out.

When those are done you can get a header, high flow cat, upgrade cam.

that right there should be a pretty fun daily car without worrying about much.

1g for power? Used intake and exhaust - and a DIY KADE swap? Or maybe you should spend that 1g on suspension and learn the car while you save up another 2g for a serious swap... Good luck.

If you haven't gotten your suspension done yet, do it first! Once you ride in a 240 with suspension work, you'll never drive anything again. You could get a decent coilover setup

lets see here.... if I had 1 grand to put into a 24E I would...

First thing I would do is convert over to electic fans, while I was at it I would also just get alu. pulleys for the heck of it.

Then I would go get ported. Just about any machine shop can do that for you, and it shouldn't set you back that much.

Now as for polishing you can do one of two things. You can build your own polishing station for about 1 grand (which is all the external funds you have) and do it yourself. Most of it is the electronics and a trip to home depo. This would cost about as much to build and do yourself as getting a proffessional to do it, but you then could polish for other people. I'm eventually going to have to do this myself for my monster that I'm building.

Or ignore the power and look for suspension like facyeoff and lofapoo said.

Get yourself some strut bars, fender braces and a few other suspension parts that would really make the baby turn on a dime.

Thats my 2 cents anyways.~Nick

polishing is really useless except for the exhaust ports, and even then the power gains to be found here are minimal, especially for the price.

i gotta agree with everyone else who said brakes and suspension. i know thats not what you asked or even what youa re trying to hear, but take it from me:

i would kill to have 1 G to throw down. i would definately pick upa set of Megan Racing coilovers. you would still have a few bucks left to get an intake and a cheap header.

the reason i say that is because N/A can be built up in bits and peices for about 200 dollars or so at a time. there are many many things to do, but you dont have to do them all at the same time, unlike a boost setup. you can buy an exhaust today and a header in a month, and then pulleys here and pistons there, etc, etc.

coilovers are the only 1000 dollar part i would recommend, and if you can do it, do it, then build the rest bit by bit

Thanks nick imma look into that....The CAI extension tell u the truth im so tight with money that i went to a contruction site and told one of the guys to give me the plumbing pipe and i made my own connection which i believe works better i did it all the way to the front of the bumper....suspension im thinking about getting some top of line coilovers but for now im thinking of just gettin the tein suspensions

As for the electric fan why does everyone take it off and the pulleys how much to do you trust ebay's pulley'shttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVWhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVWhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVWThanks for responding fella's i apperciate it

[BMAR240SX]

WHERE IS EVERBODY I NEED A RESPONSE I HAVE BEEN WASTING MY MONEY AT TACO BELL ALL WEEK HELP ME

where in chiefland?

You've been here before? Do i know you? LoL

[JNM240]

People take off the stock water pump driven fan to free up some horsepower. With it off, the motor isnt having to turn the fan. See? But you still need to cool your radiator down, so you need to wire up some electric fans. I got dual 12 inchers that put out 1350 CFM each wired up to a DiF fan controller so i can set the temp i want them to come on.

As far as crank pulley, i really dont trust egay with something like that. I got the ASP for $119 from Phase 2 motortrend and installed that the same time i removed the stock fan. Made a noticeable difference.

whats the stock hp on the E? ive been looking pretty much for ka24de because of the dohc and seems like everyone says its strong. i havent been looking into pignose just because of the sohc reason. but is this engine still as strong as the de? i mean the ka-t.org owner has a de with 7xx hp on the motor with stock rebuilt internals. im planning on buying a 240 fastback and turbo-ing it to about 200-210 at the wheels. is the ka24e a good engine for a turbo? is it strong? hold long? info on this engine please

[fayceoff]

As I understand it, there's only a 10-15hp difference between the E and DE. Try the stickies for clarification.

At the wheels stock the E has around 110-115 its not as strong compared to the DE but its feedback that i have gotten has been pretty steady and good from people that have gotten the sohc and dohc the only reason the DE is better to me is because it has a bigger variety of parts that are easy to find betta off with the DE

thanks guys
