thanks. yeah im going to port and polish and maybe bore it .20. any more suggestions?

I am going to keep my car NA also, and this is what I plan to do:

Right now just bought NGK laser-R double platinum spark plugs, k&n air intake, and HKS ground wire kit

going to get: a'pexi dual n1s and hotshot headers, heads port and polished, new jwt cams, and that's all for now.

i have the apexi n1 single and a no name intake. to finish off my exhaust im going to get obx headers (ive been told hotshot wont pass emissions) and a high flow cat. converter. how much power does anyone think i should get after everything?

You could get some neon lights, body kit and a wing. Thats good for 30 hp. LOL...just playin. Sorry...i have to make fun of F&F'ers and little bit.

there was no call for that because i never said anything about f&f. and if that comment was not directed toward me, im sorry for this reply.

[youngmanvr4]

Man...i know you never said anything about F&F. But some kids think that neon lights make you run 10's. And thats not true at all. So i'm sorry you missunderstood. It was not directed to you in anyway. But i just think that is funny that people think that so i was just acting like one to have fun. Sorry for the confusion.

oh ok lol no problem. sorry for making you explain your joke..i hate that shit.

I think OBX headers won't pass emissions either, they eliminate the cat don't they.

[mynismo]

this seems to be the new trend. ka n/a. my two friend's are going at it and so are a few more (www.phase2motortrend.com has a project n/a with 200whp)

have fun. whatever floats your boat.

no need to port and polish the heads, won't do much on a KA24DE

new cams
pulleys
4-1 header
no cat
3" exhaust
straight through muffler
race valves
race retainers
race valve springs
(when I say race i mean better then stock)
High Comp pistons
Individual Throttle Bodies
Stand Alone Engine Managment

with all this stuff, my estimations would be around 220rwhp

will rev higher then shit, will rev up fast, and the powerband on it will make turbo lovers puke in envy.

[publicenemy137]

^ how much will all that cost, an estimation.

My engine is like 100k so a lil port and polishing will probably do it good.

[nissanfanatic]

What SR20 said plus a lightened flywheel, lightened driveshaft. It may make turbo lovers puke, but a turbo KA will still win.lol

[SR20DETpower]

not nessecarily, you can make a NA KA24de have more power then a basic ka24de turbo setup.

you could easily make the engine produce 250rwhp on naturally aspirated power by raising compression, wilder cams, raising redline, excellent computer tuning and fuel delivery.

Plus you don't ever have any sort of turbo lag, when you hit it your in the powerband if all is tuned nicely. This will keep you from having to downshift all the time, not to mention the top end on a N/A car will have more power then a turbo car if you look at a dyno sheet.


now if you wanted to do a basic Na setup cheap here is what I advise

Header
Test Pipe
3" catback

make up a custom intake, remove battery to back of car, and lengthen MAF wiring, install MAF and piping to pax. side of car and have a nice straight, short tubing to the throttle body and no heat soak from running over the radiator.

LIghtweight Flywheel

LSD

245 sized rear tires

rebuild your motor, get a set of cams from JWT or etc.. use the pistons from a SOHC 240sx, these will work, they are a higher compression, they do not have the cutouts for the oil squirting function, but your not going turbo anyhow.

a set of pulleys


all of that would get you to about 180rwhp or so, and its cheaper then the first list I provided.

If you did things like the clutch, light flywheel, LSD, and Tires..thereby helping your traction and can really launch it, you might be able to run a low 14, depends on your driving ability. I have seen people run high 14's or very low 15's with just a few bolt-ons on their 240sx's before, so adding more compression, flywheel, and a set of cams would DEFINTELY spice it up a good amount.

a guy ran a 12.9 with a 250rwhp KA-T.... so if you went all out you would atleast have a naturally aspirated KA 240sx that could hang with new corvettes, and thats not exactly slow for a street car.
