I appreciate the information given, and I did not know that the 90 240 was SOHC. That's why I'm asking, to learn. What are the main differences between a KA engine and an SR engine? Aren't the SR engines a little on the steep side as far as price goes?

Thanks again for the info.

BTW: RB26DETT? Skyline? Sorry, I'm just a Honda guy expanding my horizons.
I believe the VG30DETT was used until the last year of the 300zx which was 96 I think.

89-90 240's are sohc and 91+ 240's are dohc. the sohc, ka24e, has 140 hp and the dohc, ka24de, has 155 hp.... not much of a difference.

I'd say the main difference between the KA and SR is that the SR is turbocharged from the factory while the KA isn't. SR's have been going up in price recently just because more and more people are catching on to the whole nissan thing and so they are buying sr's.

RB26DETT came in the R32, R33, and R34 skyline GTR
