your ka24de mileage

[xxdjstriderxx]

What milage are these engines usually good for?

my odometer reads 168k , still running fairly strong....just idles strangely sometimes

Lets hear some numbers fellas...

[URM S14]

187k, still runs strong. just needs a timing chain and want to replace oil pump and water pump for teh track days this year.

[TurboSilvia7587]

111892 on a 95

[hbrown]

249,000 on a 89' SOHC- runs better now than it did at 100,000- never been into engine- no timing chain rattle- and I drive it like I stole it. Synthetic oil since break in- PTFE treatments @ 150,000 & 200,000. Mobil 1 rocks.

Longetivity of any engine depends alot on how clean the oil is kept, environmental conditions (dusty roads or clean highway) top quality filters and regular maintenance.

Most of these engines are done in by 150K due to faults in the above.

Like I said, mine runs as strong or stronger than it did 5 years ago- but I don't trust it like I did back then anymore- too many things that can go wrong.

Maintained well, these things are just getting broken in good at 75,000 to 100,000 miles. And I wouldn't hesitate to slap a turbo on a well maintained one with that many miles.

I'm not sure if the DOHC holds out the same or not with the more complex timing chains and all- but I would suspect it should have similar life.

i got 202k on the 91 240

and about 163k on a 98 frontier.

yeah i got 2 ka's in the garage.

[ILikeMy240sx]

about 80k miles

[Project S13]

Somewhere just shy 160000. Timing rebuild and new injectors at 155K, it runs great, better than it ever has with the new injectors.

Since several things between the KA and SR are interchangeabe it would be sweet if the injectors were the same or bigger than stock size and would fit lol. O well =p

[240sx123]

91,000 on my 91 Hatch. Still runs really strong!

[xxdjstriderxx]

91k on a 91? wow dude thats freakin low *** mileage....

when you talk about regular maintainence, i get oil changes but the guy told me i should change my transmission fluid and get an engine flush...i bought this car not too long ago so i dont know when the last time is that he got those things done...what exactly is an engine flush anyways? also i plan on getting a tune up soon...i think my timing is a bit retarded because it seems a little sluggy and i could use some new sparkies

[ddgsxr504]

I have a 95 with 156,000 and all I have changed is the waterpump. I know that my oil pressure is a little lower than factory specs so I will probably replace the oil pump soon. You should change your transmission and rear diff fluid every 3rd oil change or so. Factory oil pressure should be between 60-70psi at 3000rpms, at normal operating temp mine reads about 54psi, somewhat low but not harmful since I change it every 3000 or less. As long as you take good care of the engine teh sky is the limit, now something will eventually break but thats life. Hope that helps!

[95nismo240]

95k on 95 240sx. in process of rebuilding engine cause of bad rings!!

[240driver39]

142,000 on a 91, runs like champ...

[d_nvy]

Hey guys, new to the forum just got this car about three months now. It's a 95 with 170+k

[ddgsxr504]

Wow you got us all beat!

[AelSic]

Had a 185K on a 93 before I swapped it because it had a bad tensioner for a 90K motor(free) before I realized the 90K had a bad tensioner too.

[Axel Grungy]

91 with about 134k last time i looked

[kapower06]

Ive got 189k mi. on my ka-e then it blew, well the timing guide broke off. metal chips all over... swaped in a 60K mi. ka-e runs like a champ.

[base9se]

I have a S14 with 168K+ miles and she's running strong. Just recently gave her a full tune up and she drives better than the day I got her.

[chilnviln]

91 hatch with 175k. traded my civic for it aboot three months ago. runs strong and i did the usual tune up when i traded. cap, rotor, plugs, wires, belts, hoses and thermostat

[EstoMax]

129K mi on a 95

done a full tuneup and 2 s13 exhaust cams

runs awesome.

but the chain rattles at idle and with no load up to 2k rpm

in gear theres no rattle but itll have to b changed soon

max

[noyz13]

i have 195k on my 90 240 ka24e. i just got it and it feels stronger than my last 90 240 which had 115k. oh and let me add that the odemeter has stopped so true milage is unknown. it could have 300k for all i know but hey she runs strong and thats what counts.

[DarkStar]

125k on a '97. Runs like a champ!

[s14noob]

135000km on my 97 240349000km on my 91 accord

[robertwb70]

220K on my 92-still runs strong and gets 30 MPG too-can't complain yet

yes mobil1 is very good stuff

[smokin240]

169k miles, have had a few probs with it though, but fixed now. Real leaky rear main oil seal, noisy lifters, bad plug wires (caused horrible acceleration), of course bad clutch, and plugs. Thats only probs ive had with it. My odo stopped too so 169k is estimate, give or take 1k.

[coolcloo1019]

had 140 on my sohc 120k on my dohc...about to be turbo soon.

[lilvtboigotrice]

220K on my 92-still runs strong and gets 30 MPG too-can't complain yet

yes mobil1 is very good stuff

wow never knew ka's can get up to 30 mpg

but anyway 93 ka24de with 105k miles on the odometer but since the rebuild probally around 2k miles

[Kansei240sx]

169k

Needs new spark plugs, Other wise runs like a tank... Still produces a really loud and throaty intake sound and really smooth low pitch exhuast sound with no pops or anything....

Although i do get idle iregularities sometimes, during braking off from the highway... but thats about it.

[burtonsnowman]

Got an '89 with 190 thou on it, still runs like a champ.

[frapjap]

My '90's sohc blew at 97,000. I had the car for two weeks... No wonder it was so cheap. Now shes got a 95 dohc that just turned 99,000.

My new '93 has 135k and I swear, I think it runs stronger than my 95. Minus the slipping clutch.

Both get 30mpg on the highway in fifth @ 80mph.
