LMFAO!!!!


exactly, don't get me wrong, I don't hate the Sr20, I think it is another one of Nissans great motors among MANY. Just over all the time I've researched on 240's...I've come to the realization the KA24 is a better motor for what I like to do.

And don't say you need power to drift, theres another thread about end of month bandwith special as the title, theres a black s13 coupe on there and I swear to god the guy said it was stock. That thing roasted the tires around the entire track making smoke, he was outdoing ls1 pontiac, 350z's... and lots of other shit. LIke I said there was one guy named Duy with a 500+hp KA on NoS, and that was not even to its full potential, there was A LOT more shit he could of done to the internals, not only to increase hp by itself, leave more room for added boost, and add to the over all revability(my new word) of the motor. race motor for race motor, a KA will make more power over any SR you can thinkk of it is built up the same just because of its displacement. Lets look at one simple fact Sr20de=140hp KA24De=155hp.... Even in naturally aspirated stock forms the KA has an advantage over the SR.

But don't get me wrong im not hating on the SR, just cause its weaker...

that would be also hating on the CA which I think is another great nissan motor among others.

I hope one day to get a 240sx and just make it into a race car. F all the street racing and drivability BS, im just going all out on it. its sole purpose will be to kick the living shit out of SR's, Viper, z06, porsche or any other poor soul who comes to the same venue as me.

Word. I love the SR. I REALLY love the CA, cuz as far as JDM motors go, its the KA of the bunch. Everyone hates it, and no one bothers with it, but it will rise from the dead to kick your ass.

But in the end the KA takes my choice. I know someone(if you guys rememeber Mike aka old_S13) who had all the KA mods you can get, except turbo and NOS, who beat a SPORT BIKE through the canyons. This guy would aboslutely roast any GSX, Civic etc. who came his way.

Ive talked to JSPEC SILEIGHTY, and a few others and am convinced the KAT will be my best option. Sure I wont be JDM, and I wont have the smoothness of a factory motor, but with the extra money, I will be able to have some upgrades I need.

Ideally, Im shooting for 250 whp at maximum, and then Ill strip the back out. Im aiming for an all round sports car, basically, what the 240(not a silvia or 180) could have been If Nissan decided to add a little spice to it.

lol, "im sticking with the SR"

u dont even have the engine?

how do you stick to an engine?

yeah, ive changed what i used to want and such, at first, even before i had the 240, (when i had the 240Z), i wanted to turbo the KA, then i wanted rb26, then SR, and then rb25, now for my convertible, i want a CA18

im not sticking to an engine, if someoen throws a turbo KA at me, then im keeping it

i dont take pride in engines or anythign, so dont say "im sticking to an SR"

SR non turbos have like 145hp too

everything cost money


someone buy me a cadet

I have the best source for CA18DET engines.

www.worksyamaguchi.com

One of the owners used to own a CA powered Silvia(american living in Japan).

The prices may seem steep, but there all low mileage and they have the injectors re-done, and they do a bunch of other shit to the engine to clean it up.

ill check it out, but poepel keep teling me dont get a ca18det if its more than 800 cuz its not worth that much

anyways i was looking at a silvia fornt end

with non projector headlights, instead of center panel there is a grill, and he wants 900 with exchange of my fornt bumper and my fender

i dont think its a good deal, maybe if i didnt have to give him my bunper and fenders in exchange it would be good?

what do you guys think

Thats usually true, but I KNOW these guys can give you the absolute best CA motor.

It comes from them with

Walbro 255LPH fuel pump
HKS Metal Flow intake kit
Works SPL straight pipe
Greddy Warning Meter boost gauge
ACT Heavy Duty Street clutch kit
HKS front pipe
NGK R plugs

That should bring you up to 200whp.

Give them a call or email, and ask about it.

will do, hopefully shipping is not much
