Lets here it for the 5spd 4 cycl pickup trucks

[tkatka]

NO one ever talks about them it seem like. What do you guys think of them. DO you like there power lets chat about them.

Ah yes, the old Nissan Hardbody pickup with the KA24. Yeah, great power...

It's no Ford Lightning, I'll tell you that much. But, I suppose you could do something interesting with it. Same engine as the notoriously underpowered 240SX - underpowered until you turbocharge it, that is. The beefiest KA24 I've ever seen was in Sport Compact Car, and I believe the guy pulled 438 hp out of it at 22 psi. You could probably get 300 out of your pickup with a decent turbo and good engine management of course. Of course, it also depends on which engine you have - the earlier KA24E (SOHC) or KA24DE (DOHC).

I'd love to see a really fast Nissan pickup, though. I might just build one myself...

yep are yall the ppl with the 8 spark plugs? i got the NAP-Z (Z24) from 1985. not sure if they're the same as the ka24 block but it still hauls arse. check out my page...:smoker2:

i have a 87 4 cyl, mines not the fastest, but no complaints, its been one of the best winter beaters i have ever owned, and it does awesome donuts

Hi ! I would like to know if a vg30e is quite easy to fit in a d21 pick up (1988)...
and what about the vg30de ?

Is there any engines that fit better in this type of truck?

I'm really getting bored by driving my slow ass 2,4L (z series)engine...

I'm waiting for your answer!!

I have a 1991 Nissan pickup with the KA24E engine, 5 speed. It's pretty slow but having the standard helps a bit... I don't care anyways it's a great truck, I'd recommend it.

i have a 97 4cyl 5spd, nice truck but very slow, anything i can do thats not to pricey and fairly easy for someone who isnt realy comfortable under the hood?

Try the Spiral-Max(not pricey and fairly easy). I thought it was a bunch of hokum. But, for that money, I figured , what have I got to lose. It added the zip I was looking for and believe me I am the eternal pessimest.

[Will2]

Forgot to say. It's in a 92 Z-24 with 237,000 miles.

[1969Stang]

what about an engine swap...yes the sr20det.....anyone ever done it...or heard of it..or know of kits out there to do it.. my buddy has a pick up and he wants to know if he can do it...i think its a 91-92???????

[Largekid]

yea, i heard that a sr20 would fit in a hardbody, how about a RB??? i was thinking about doing it to a 240(of course) but the truck would just be as fun
