I agree. and thats why i said what i did. It does look rice because of that alone.

I give props to the guy who put the blue powdercoat on his, cause it wasn't a poser. Im not being mean, its just too close to be a coincedence. By all means paint it red if you like it so much.

Now i like a good tuned KA, but power isnt the name of the game here. I'm talking POWERBAND. Why else can a stock '91 sentra SE-R netting much less power can beat a stock 240sx W/KA24DE???

powerband is really only one reason why, but i dont need to list them all, cause you could search and look about to find everything im talking about. SR really is a better designed engine.

i like my KA redtop.it's aztec red, same as my car.

You think thats cool, I got a KA24E Redtop that I bought from Troy (Tweaktac) when he was doing his CA swap. I've seen better but it got my 240 going for $300. Can't wait to get that sign bonus, ****ing Navy. You guys would be suprised how many people thought it was an SR. This pic is from when it was in Troy's car. http://xessiv.com/customerride...t.htm

drift, looks hot. i was wondering what it would look like color matched to the factor color. Your setup looks alot like mine even matching battery's. i'm waiting on my strut bars from UM.

Thats why you spend MORE money and make some real power. HAHAHA

Post by **Dattebayo** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 2:34 pm

ahhh, nobody wants to hear my banter i guess.so yeah you still cant do the same things with a ka that an SR or even a CA could do. I know 2.4 liters and all that but a KA making considrable power is real expensive (not reliable) and the others are made already to be reliable so i take the sure shot deal. the 2K+ you spend on the clip is worth it because of the future mods, not the actual purchase.

to each there own engine my friend, to each there own.

I just don't like the SR RWD swap very much,thats all. I like FWD OEM srs,and SRs in general. However if/when I do a swap(might be soon too! w00t!) Its going to be a CA18DET or RB series.

yeah i pretty much feel the same way as the ghetto one bout sr's. i know they are a good engine, but for the money i would look elsewhere. anyways heres a shot of my blacktop KA, had to do somethin while ripping off chain guides

I don't know what I'm missing, or maybe I don't know something you all do, but (not trying to offend) why don't you all ever clean your engines? at least give it a good spray to make it look purdy (when its cold of course). All of the cars in my family have clean engines. Maybe its just a pet peeve of mine. Especially some of you SR folk!

I am always reluctant to spray down an engine due to all the electrical goodies under the hood these days...no use frying plugs. Its an engine, not a diamond ring...Not as much bling bling.

Post by **Dattebayo** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 2:34 pm

You know, i cleaned mine once, and it just got dirty again after 2 months. I like looking at clean engines, but i enjoy DRIVING dirty ones even more!

Isn't a "bump" when you agree with the post? First time I have used it.

Post by **burnin240sx** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 2:34 pm

i could swear a bump is to move the thread up in the topic list to the top so ppl can see it and read it.

lmao guess i've had a few too many. i do that every once and a while. lol

hey i was wondering how you sanded down the letters on your valve cover. ive painted mine and i was wondering what grit you used? also did you u use a dremel or just some elbow grease? wet sand or dry sand?

Post by **Soy** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 2:34 pm

200 grit sand paper - dry, by hand. On mine it left the bare aluminum lettering brushed, and I liked the look. If you want them polished, I'd suggest a dremel, or using varying sadpapers of finer grit, as well as metal polish.
