Top HP from a NA KA24DE?

Post by **FriendshipRacing** » Mon Sep 22, 2003 4:32 am

What is the Max HP you can get from a NA KA24DE? I am trying to decide weather to go NA or Turbo. so any info on Max HP either way would be appreciated, or best ET possible with either motor.

go turbo, and search.

it is my understanding that tog et around 200 rwhp NA will cost enough to just got turbo adn get 250rwhp on a tuned system, assuming you'll put together your own set up

I am builing the motor from bare block, so I am not looking for cost effective, but rather reliable raw horsepower. I plan on using all race componets and fully building the motor. All that will be original is going to be the block itself.

I'd be AMAZED to see more than 180rwhp from a street motor.

well it probably won't get driven much other than to shows to the track and on nice weekends. But I want it to be reliable enough if I have to drive it I will be able to... Plus it is not going to be built for street use intended it is going to be built as if I was only going to race it... full blown.

First, it will cost you the same (NA/Turbo)Without going crazy, you will spend about 6K on a reliable 230 crank hp KASome good parts can be found here:http://www.ka24de.comhttp://www.racetep ... 0sxna.html

oh no... you found your way over here too... the infamous "checkered-member"...

Post by **FriendshipRacing** » Mon Sep 22, 2003 4:32 am

Checkered-Member...Thanks for the links they look like they will be of great help. I am planning on going turbo after I get the motor built, just wanted to see what the most HP I could get out of the motor before doing so was. I am planning on spending around $10,000 on the motor before purchasing the turbo. When done I don't want to be able to say I wish I would have went ahead and did something. Thanks again for your help.

1. This is not altimas.net, better be careful how you talk to people here.2. Why don’t you start a thread about how everyone here enjoys and appreciates my help…3. why don’t you post this thread alsohttp://www.nissaninfiniticlub....36793(I mean, after all you did start a thread about how you “corrected” me)Have a nice day.

I have heard that the intake manifold is a mojor limiting factor when trying to get high hp from an N/A KA. Im not sure if any companies make aftermarket manifolds, maybe have a custom one built. If you are building a race only N/a motor wont that mean super high compression? Are you going to re-build it for low compression when you make it turbo? Sounds like you should build 2 motors

oh shut up. i dont treat people any differently here than i do on .net. you got banned from .net because your info sucks. you do more harm than good. ive noticed your post count went up about 30 posts from yesterday to today... i hope whatever answers your giving now dont end up screwing someones car up. i corrected you because you are misinformed, not necessarily wrong, but giving an opinionated answer with a web link versus an experienced answer is not the same thing. you read too much and dont have enough hands-on knowledge. its hurtful. maybe you should be asking more questions instead of answering them.

lol, i usually have no problem with him, here or otherwise. i just dont like it when he speaks out of his ***.

back to the hp. im trying right now to get that info. numbers on that engine in my link are between 210 and 230... im waiting for dude himself to give me an answer.

Post by **FriendshipRacing** » Mon Sep 22, 2003 4:32 am

Yeah actually for a true built N/A Race motor I would need to run High compression...but for the reason stated above of practicaly building two motors...I am am going to run 9:1 compression and get the most HP I can that way. That way when I switch to Turbo it will already be set up. That was a good point. If anyone knows a fix on the intake manifold let me know please. even with trubo, better flow is better power.....

let's not fight here, I'm also a former altimas.net member and I must say, here at NICO help is granted without much fuss rather than at .net. You altima guys think you got something no one else has or something. I used to own an altima so I know how truly crappy they do handle

Post by **Altiman94** » Mon Sep 22, 2003 4:32 am

shawn will state about 230 hp at the crank.

does he pull 13s consistently, or was it just that one run?

Only One timeit was exactly 13.94

So he runs low 14’s

Post by **Altiman94** » Mon Sep 22, 2003 4:32 am

it wasn't totally the motor, He has a hybrid gti-r transmission that dropped his 1/4 mile time a half second. W/o the transmission, he was running like 14.4's. N/A altimas, or 240sx's for that matter do not impress me.

bingo. that and the fact that he's probably a decent driver, he's not making 230 hp with the engine mods he has.
