I'm lookin for a KA24DE engine for my 240sx. I want to turbo the stock engine and mine is too high mileage. 60,000 miles or less is prefered. If anyone has one or knows where I can find one for sell please contact me. IM at chris6218.

ka24de with less than 60k? haaaaaaaaaaaaa

1/18/2006 10:55:40 PM

ok that turbo ka looks good but their project cars scare me honestly.

1/18/2006 11:01:33 PM

Their project cars are whatever Joel owns at the current time. Their engines are top notch, though.

1/18/2006 11:03:21 PM

what did you expect? is a performance machine shop, not a bolt on parts supplier or "tuner" shop.

1/18/2006 11:04:50 PM

i dunno... a little passion @least... i mean its ok if its junk now

i mean anything with a little passion

i mean the one cool car i guess they're planning to drag race?
i don't see any other reason to plan to put an auto in a 240...
i dunno


sorry to offend i'm sure they do good work most of the good o'le boy shops do and i didn't realize the were just a machine shop for the most part.

the 82 ford pickup was his dads old truck i think, the d50 was something he got for free i think, and the nissan rollers accumulate when you deal with nissan engines on the regular.

1/18/2006 11:17:13 PM

the piece of shit 240 that i had..had 162k on it 60k turbo miles. engine ran fine but the other parts of the car were shit. just blow it up and then get another outta junk yard.

1/18/2006 11:57:44 PM

yeah it's not like it's a rotary or anything

1/19/2006 1:21:32 AM

Do a compression test. If it looks decent a smaller turbo (like a t25/28) on relativley low boost such as 7 (which was stock boost on the SR) to 10 Psi should be fine. Chances on finding a low mileage KADE are slim.

Also as Jbaz said, ask on carolinanissans.com

If you really want a lower mileage for a turbo application, I suggest that you follow the bandwagon and do a SR20DET swap.

didn't the KA come in like a million applications though? Surely there should be one somewhere from a wrecked Altima or pickup truck

1/19/2006 10:52:58 AM

rebuild, best way to go.

you silly SR20DET haters

1/19/2006 11:59:58 AM

^ Let's not start that

1/19/2006 1:13:30 PM

the oil pan shenanigans is their sr20det-bashing

1/19/2006 1:26:53 PM

Yeah, I realized that

1/19/2006 2:06:39 PM

Oh and also if anyone has a OBDII KA24 5 speed tranny that would fit in my 240 I'll take one

1/19/2006 3:53:43 PM

***BUMP***

3/12/2006 5:06:11 PM

Yea. They had the KA24DE in the frontier right up until this most model. Same with the altima.

3/13/2006 11:13:24 AM

the altimas is Front wheel drive tho...might be kinda a bitch to swap it in.

find someone who is doing an engine swap and try to get their old KA off of them. Shouldn't be too hard to find one but make sure its OBDII
