Motor Swap

[PhaneSoul]

Would it be worth it to swap a ka24e with a oh say 91 ka24de? or is there a better engine i could find to swap?

[ss240]

Um... i'm not sure if you have been around here much.... perhaps look into swapping in a CA18DET or SR20DET

[PhaneSoul]

what are the pros and cons of those though?

[ss240]

you should do a search around here....

Personally, I would recommend the SR20DET. You will have little trouble swapping one into your 89 S13 Chassis. I purchased the SR20DET Swap DVD off Ebay for $30 Canadian. Quite a lot of information especially for you since the donor car was a 1990 240sx.

He also included electronic versions of the English version of the Japanese FSM's on CD.

However, if you do some searching on the forums here you will find all the information you need. Google also has a lot of informaiton, just type in SR20DET installation swap

I am doing a search on here, but i also thought to just try and get it on here too, since sometimes in searches you may or may not be able to find the info u want

Is it possible to make a ka24e into a de??

[karay240]

Yea, you can, and it'll be cheaper. However, if you're going to do a swap anyway, why not just save a little more money, and do a CA swap. If you've got more money laying around, do the SR swap. Your options are limited only by finances when it comes to 240 swaps.good luck on your project.

i want a ka24de in my car, i was thinkin bout buyin one, n workin on it rebuilding it, and when its all done and i have enouf money for a turbo, then drop the new ka in and make sure everything runs well, then putting on a turbo, intercooler, and what not and then sellin my old ka

[ss240]

that is another option....plus... KA24DE-T is said to be one helluva torque monster

[PhaneSoul]

isnt a ka-t jus a ka with a turbo on it? or r there 3 diff ka's?? kae, kade, and kadet??

[420_240sx]

right ^^^ KA24DET is simply the KA24DE with a turbo slapped on

[PhaneSoul]

cool alright

[ss240]

yeah it is the KA with the Turbo "simply" slapped on it, but it is quite a monster
