[downshift]

Can you guys help a young fellow out and write in sentences. plz.

[240Knightrider]

Sorry5 years from now (due to money) I plan to have 2-240's 1 with an KA24DET and the other with an SR20DET

[downshift]

Ohhh....kool. 2years from now i plan on having a 240 w/ a KAT and my bro is planning on havin a 240 w/ SR. Kinda trying to do a brother j-spec, usdm thing. Anyways now that i look back at your other statement it actually makes sense....just got a little frustrated cause i didnt feel like takin the time to decode it. Lazy me.

[240Knightrider]

yeah, it took me a few to figure out how to write it. lolI probably get the SR first just cause its gonna be cheaper, then get the KA24. I really want the KAT but dont have the money for it yet. Its gonna be a great day when its done.

[downshift]

I agree with you on that one bro. It WILL be a great day. I cant wait.

What the hell....i just noticed, you registered the same time as me, yet you have more posts....i gotta get with tha times. Let the postin begin.

we just recently had a guy run 14 psi on stock internals for the KADE and made 377rwhp and 376 torque using a standalone (aem ems)

Only 167whp short :icesangel

Ah they are all strong in their own respects and 377rwhp is more than I plan to ever make on my SR.

[PhaneSoul]

in 2 years i plan on having my 240, and a dodge neon r/t to play around with. Well im gettin the neon this winter so i have less ofa chance to mess up my beautiful 240....

[240Knightrider]

lol, I just have more probs with my car. All used on why is this doing that and why did that do this. woah that was confusing

[burnin240sx]

dont mean to sound dumb, but, uh....what does that mean?

it's a heart in assci form turn your head to the right and lem me know what you see <3

[downshift]

oh.....interesting. Never seen that before. It does look like a heart.

I was doing good until a KA24 was said to be unreliable. Very Untrue. Im running 220K miles on my stock parts. Not one part has been replaced except for the norm replacements (spark plugs, filter etc.) My timing chain started making noise a month and a half ago, My rings on my pistons are worn enough to make my oil burn out with in two weeks depending on how much I drive it. To school and work everyday. My Cat is cloged and fixing that problem monday. I cant believe the KA24 is any less reliable than any engine on the market whether that be the SR20 or A Vortec V6 to a 4G63T.

I think people were talking about the KA being unreliable under boost. In 100% stock form both engines are reliable, the SR just has more power.

thanks everyone i've been looking for a subject like this for a long time THANKS GREAT SITE!

Well if thats the case then thats understandable.

[240SXT]

there's more and more stuff coming out for the KA now, even the SR so it makes the whole decision making process hard. Like check http://www.nizzx.comThey have manifolds for both KAE & KADE PLUS an upgrade manifold on the SR..........what to do?

[Nismo_Freak]

No offense to anyone but I think everyone can understand why I'm locking the thread... there is alot of searchable material out there on this board and many others and I don't care to clean up a flame war.
