To swap or not to swap....
well my 92' 240sx died. a blown clutch that resulted (i think) into a blown head gasket. i was a few blocks from my house and the clutch all but gave away so i decided to go ahead and try to get home but i had to keep at about 4500-5000 RPM to keep a steady 10 MPH and a block from my house the exhaust started blowing tons of smoke and the engine ran really ruff. like when you have a fouled plug. ANYHOW, so ive got like $1500-1800 to spend so the question is... should i spend the money to rebuild the KA24de OR should i buy a CA18det from a junk yard? I do all my own mechanic work so that cost isnt a factor but i hate to part with the KA cuz i know it inside and out but i want more horse and have never had a turbo "and NO i cant afford an SR so dont mention it". But if i rebuild the KA i could add a little horse with internals. anyhow any thoughts? also was the CA18det offered in the States or only Canada??? my Chilton manual includes it as a Sentra engine but on Ebay people sell them a "JDM". can i get one from a junkyard here in the states or Canada? THANK YOU, sorry about the wordiness.
