S14 Ka24de questions

[JDMerican]

I am looking on how to make a Ka24de in an S14 more reliable and better, Not performance right now. So far I have thought of

Electric Fan and New radiator
Replacing head gasket

I was wondering if anyone can show me good electric fan and radiator kits and head gaskets and then hopefully telling me other things to do to make it a more reliable engine, like maintenance and I guess things that can give it power too.

And I guess tell me some things to do to give it more HP besides exhaust intake headers.

Thanks!

I would also recommend transmission rebuild if u can find spare one and rebuild it yourself.

def just replace normal wear and tear parts.
as for the cooling, i got an ebay cx racing radiator(never know till you try) works fine, no problems had it for two years. don't forget a new thermostat, upper/lower hose, and the heater hoses in the back if you want. you can also get a new temp sensor. you can get deals from enjuku for cooling, ebay has fans( never tried them-way!cheaper then flex lights)
and for the headgasket. if your ka still in good shape??
if so, no need to change it.

The hell? KA's are solid man. Replacing your headgasket is going to lead to another 1521561 things you have to replace. If the KA does blow..then just pick up a new one, anywhere from $100-600. Abuse that truck motor!

The stock KA clutch fan is more reliable that you think. If your engine is stock or close to it, there's no reason and no benefit to replacing it with electrics. I've been there, done that and there's quite a few threads here that back it up. Don't waste your money. I went back to my clutch fan and believe me, there's nothing more reliable. Now, as for replacing the head gasket ... I wouldn't bother, again if the engine is relatively unmodified there's no reason. If it's leaking, yes then do it. Why is it that you think the KA is not reliable? Are there other problems that you don't state here?
