KA24E

[Hansen240]

I purchased a 1990 240 last summer and have been building it since. The other day a friend of mine took it to make a good first impression on his girls brothers. doing this he somehow blew my engine. So where can i find a cheap rebuild kit or a cheap KA24E? i plan on building the SOHC just because everyone takes the SR route. For now i wanna get it running so i can finish the 5speed swap then ill just build it later on. So does anyone know where i can find a cheap kit or cheap engine?

Google.

From their site PLATINUM ENGINE KIT:
This kit contains complete gasket set, set of pistons and rings, main bearings, rod bearings, thrust washers, timing chain and gears, oil pump, balance shaft bearings (if applicable), and a set of expansion plugs (does not contain camshaft). Pistons & Rings: Std., .020, .040. Bearings: Std., 10, 20, 30.

Seems to be what you are looking for. Although you could check craigslist in your area and see if there are any engines there, junkyards or just do a de swap. Plenty of those truck motors lying around.

Never used these guys so google them and make sure they check out.

Thanks for the sites. And ive been searching left and right trying to find a kit that isnt too spendy but still does the job. i check ebay a lot and craigslist every day. theres also a place in Fife, WA that has a bunch of nissan stuff.

Feel like driving to BC? There's a bunch of KA's for sale.

that would be a good sized trip for an engine. i got a call from the shop i took the block, pistons and crank to, everything is toasted. so anyone want a 240 shell?

I'm f*** up, but KA-E's will give you every ounce of power, they dont have.

My E would roar on the up hill, and a downshift would just make it louder. But they do really try.

I'm going SR now because they are reliable higher revving power, but i did mountain run and auto-x my E.

God i love kings cup.

E's can be impressive with a turbo and rebuild, but that rev limit is... i need more beer.

I agree. it pulls but i cant not get the SR lol..
