Well the KA24DE engine came in all of the 240sx's released in America so all years the car was sold in the U.S ('89 -98 I think but in case I'm wrong the KA is definitely in the years '90 - '98) have the KA24DE

I'm putting it in a Buy n Sell ad therefore; not everyone would know the engine they have, So, what cars have the exact engine I need, no obd2 or nothing, one that will fit in without any major problems. thank you

Hold on, what exactly is obd2? and how would this affect anything, sorry, I'm young and don't know a lot about Nissans, but I'm defenitely willing to learn.

OBD2 is a coding system used w/ check engine lights (right?) lol just search b/c the ka24de's have some differences... why are you askin about it? selling or buying?

I'm buying, I found one shop with the exact same engine (came out of a 92) with a 3 month warranty. I want to buy it but I'm $70 short and I dont know if they would drop that far, because it is a car recycler that has it, not just some guy that has one sitting in his backyard or garage. So I want to know where else I could find an engine in case this on sells by the time I have the money, all the money I'm making now is allowance , seeing as summer is over, i spent my summer job money on the car and still have left over for the engine, so I need this last little bit and I'm set

no not 90. 90 was the ka24e. and the altima was fwd so there are some differences, and the stanza only offered the ka24e also.

Yeah, I was thinking of the KA in general. Only 91-94' had the KA24DE and the 95-98' years.

if you were thinking of ka in general, then you forgot that the 88-89 240sx also came w/ a ka24e
