Truck engine? KA question

[Zanark]

Eh simple Q, um which Nissan Pickup caries the KA24DE? and what years, and is it in the same Lay out as the 240? If so couldnt you put the Turbo Kit Greddy makes for the KA on it?

[Towlie]

yes to the turbo, as far as the years are concerned, i dunno early to mid 90's i think

they have different intake manifolds, it won't bolt up. The throttle body opens up to the top over the middle of the intake manifold, its not facing towards the radiator like it is on a 240sx

do they make a turbo kit for the truck tho, ive seen a turbo one at the track

[Zanark]

well couldnt you just switch the intake manifolds? it should bolt right up right? And even if it was like that you could just use different piping couldnt you?

[SR20DETpower]

yeah you can switch the manifold's and gain some high end HP, loose some low end torque.

Or you can just route the cold pipe from the intercooler or turbo directly to the truck's stock throttle body. If u didn't change the manifold a turbo kit for the 240sx KA usually has a cold pipe from the intercooler, this wouldn't bolt up together on a truck.

it could have been a SR powered truck, a lot of people swap them into those too.

argh! someone told me which nissan truck has the ka24de.... was it the frontier?? i don't think it's oriented the same way tho...but u can definitely turbo that. then again, you can turbo basically any engine as long as you got the parts.

[SR20DETpower]

yes I'll look for a pic showing the throttle body

Excuse me! Sorry to intrude but i have a minor question?? My brother owns a 240SX 96. Most of the time, he drives it like it was stolen! heres the problem;

the car has an oil leak.(i think its from the crank retaner) could it be possible that it could be something else?? I had to change the alternator a few times now (3 to be exact... thank the lord for that 1 year warrenty!!!) It doesnt leak from the oil pan or from the valve cover.. I know its spattering down there somewere. If so ....damn its gonna be a tough job to replace.. Do any of you know how to replace it? Step by step would be very kind.... sorry to ask for so much but it would be kind of you to help me out..... THANK YOU...

Check the front of the crankcase. The main seal on mine had a small leak.

[87civicfranky]

ummmmm.. ok but how to exicuite the change?

[SR20DETpower]

start taking shit off and remeber how it goes back on LOL, or get a manual because most intricate things on cars have a specific way they come apart and get put back together.

[87civicfranky]

OK!OK! Im sorry! I just wnated to know..(OR probly because i dontwant to buy the manual for someone elses car...) thanks anyway!!!!

[SR20DETpower]

wasn't yellinga t you just telling u the basic facts.

if u want to take something apart start doing it! lol

look what is connected to the part you want to take off and how its connected to the car, its really not that hard to work on cars, u can figure out most stuff just by looking at it. Now I wouldn't rebuild an engine in this manner but you get the idea. hopefully

[87civicfranky]

its that damn cross member...damit!!!! dont worry.. im a certifiyed nissan mecanic....(at least i think...) thanks bro ill let you know how things turn out....
