04 RSX-S vs 240 w/ka24.

Ok, a friend of mine bought a 240 sx for 1k, it had a littel less than half of engine, and one inflated tire when he bought it. He took it to his friends shop and had him put a ka24 (yes, the truck engine) in it. He says he will leave me in the dust. I think he is a shitty driver and couldn't win a race if I skipped first. Now, say I'm wrong and he can half-way shift properly, how bad would he leave me?

I thought the KA24 was the stock 240SX engine? If so you'll wipe the floor with him like he's the new Febreeze mop :).

ha, thats funny shit

I checked with a friend, it is the stock engine. He said he would probably beat me off the line, but in teh long run my moms carolla-s might be able to beat him.

Both the KA24E or the "faster" KA24DE will get blown out by the Type S assuming he's stock. Take him for as much money as he'll put up. :biggrin:

stock 240sx have 140hp and i think thats the ka24de

91-94 KA24DE had 150-160 hp, I thought?

Yea your right its 155 hp. My bad.

Think the 90 KA24E had the 140hp engine. But I'm not even sure it was an even 140- thought it was something like 136 or 137. Whatever- either way you're safe Swift...

same comparison as the other.

ok here's how it is. I have a 95 240sx and an 03 Civic Si. and the truth is that the 95 to 98 240's come with a k24de with a stock hp rating of 150hp at the flywheel, and when it comes down to it my almost stock Si (the equivelent of a base RSX) blows the doors off of my 240. no comparison whatsoever. you'd literally win by seconds. I think the 240 runs something like 17.1 stock. And that motor responds like shit to bolt-ons, and the gains on K-series motors with simple mods are outrageous. Almost a waste of time for you to race this guy.

from what i hear ka24 kicks ass when moded out

Sr20 > Ka24

I know that much, but if you live Cali, be prepared to have your car taken from you with the SR20. But a friend of mine was telling me that the ka24 has a stroing block and can be boosted pretty high. He is not the most knowledgable person I know, but looks into those engines more than I do.

t3/t4 turbos ob a ka24de will do very well. Some guy on teamrice has one. Runs like 11-12 sec.

yeah ive seen ka's boosted making 500+ horsepower... so if he decides to mod out the engine he will beat u. remember that he has a 2.4 liter vs. your 2.0 and his engine makes more torque than it does horespower.

And there are K's making 600+whp (one is supposedly gonna be near 700)....your point?

KAT > SR
if his KA is stock or near stock you'll toast him i'd be guessing just a junkyard turbod Ka with a decent turbine would wax a rsx easly.

my best friend actually has a 240sx he has a stock engine in it and we raced a acura 3.2 type s and we took it off the line and beat him but then he was like lets race on the highway and owned us

KA-T are very strong, but if you race him stock then you blow him away with the rsx-s. And the whole truck thing yea KA24DE is in a truck but its also the stock engine in 240s. they puttin out 155hp and 160lb/ft torque. With a turbo in it it can easily get around 300hp.
