[180driftking]

hey old_s13, are you refering to me with your reply? just wondering

[old_s13]

No, I wasnt referring to you. And about the KA24E, I was saying that the one found in the 89-90 is MADE IN JAPAN.. the one found on the truck is MADE IN MEJICO.

anyone looking for turbo power for their KA, look no further.
I have a ka24e with my turbo on the waythe engine now rests at a comfortable 300 hp, with my turbo I should push 400+. I have a 240 FI, but they make similar kits for the hardbody KA24C. the best most realiable site is realnissan.com they will handle all the ka motors.

Wow! What a great opportunity to turn this thread into an advertisement..

<sigh>

If people are so crazed about doing "swaps" -- why not throw in a 3-rotor motor.. show people you're fucking INSANE. Besides, those are some of the best motors ever made.

Word!

Ever seen the 3 rotor AE86(I REFUSE to call it a Hachi or Hachi-Roku)

just to let you know, japanese silvia s13's come with ca18de, or ca18det engines, i dont know where your getting the ka24e.. maybe you could explain that or maybe you just referr it as that.

so S13's didn't come with SR's now?? news to me...

[mynismo]

id say screw both of them, and go get a rb25det and pop it in your 240.

$8,000/installed, and you prolly won't need to add another penny to it. they run 12's stock. 250hp. and upgradeable

read about it more peeps

engine = nice

that body kit and wing = :apuke:

i'm also debating going the way of the RB25 if i have enough cash to finance it.

[old_s13]

MeNismo> Yes, we can always rely on you to post over-generalized information about how much things cost and how much performance will be gained with them. I dont know where you get all this informatation.. do you do ANY work on your own car? OR, do you just pay to have things installed?

Anyone with common sense about fabricating KNOWS that things dont *just* cost a certain price. You simply cannot say "throw down 8k and run 12's" thats the stupidest shit I've ever heard. Havent you ever heard of problems? Things dont always work out as planned.. you always have to take into account problems that may popup: defective or neglected motor, defective parts, and fabrication/customizing.

You shouldnt generalize so much..

ps: That car makes we want to barf. When I see stuff like that, chances are the car performs as good as it looks. AHEM.

yea i was talking about the engine iketani... im not to fond of that s13's body.

there's a place around us that does installs... you get a quote and they do it. 8,000 is a ballpark, give or take. chances are if you're gonna pop that much money into your car you won't worry about a couple hundred here and there.

yes i do work on my car... only thing i had installed is the header because its the old style and had to be reshaped to my car. there's no way i would try messing around with the whole engine... that's just way too much time and i def lack the mech experience.

why are you downing rbs? those things are complete beasts.

Hes not. Hes just sayin its stupid to dump 8g's that makes a car run "12s". You can use that money to build ur ka or sr motor for half or lil more for that price and be in the 12s. I wouldn't spend 8 grand on a swap. Thats stupid.

[mynismo]

either way you go it will cost about 8 g's to get it into the 12's. i'd rather have one with a base 12.

anyways i would prolly just get one already installed, dont have to wait at all and a hell of a lot better economically.

and no it's not stupid... it's a 12 sec car man!!! that completely rocks.

[uneek_s15]

Old_s13 actually isn't saying that it's stupid to drop 8g's in a car to make it run twelves. He's saying don't generalize that you can just spend 8g's and magically you car will make that nice little board say 12... There are other factors, such as defective parts, wear on the engine, incorrect installation which will cause more of a cost... Also, you can't just "run" 12's, there's a lot more to it than engine, such as launch, shifting, and other things. That's basically it, right Old_s13?

Basically u have to be a good driver is what ur sayin! I think i'd rather use that 8 grand on something else rather then dumping all of it on a swap. Thats just me though...
