is the KA24 iron cast

[VQ30DE]

sup guys,
i was wondring if the KA24 is iron cast or not, plus i had to many friends telling me that that engine is really fast when u hook it up is it true or what? and can it handle more than the SR20det?

thanks.

it depends on what you wanna do with the car, drift/drag. if you wanna drift go with the sr20det. but if its drag you wanna go then turbo the ka.

[sRscooby]

yup

how many miles do you have on your KA??
if you love torque, stick with the KA-t

[rps13freak]

what i wanna know is why you made two threads saying the same thing.

yes the ka24 is a cast iron block. And whether ka24 can handle more than an sr depends on the tuner

y did u say if it depend on what i wanna do drag or dirft whats the diffrent??

[kman10587]

The KA24 is better at producing power, which is what you need for drag racing. However, the SR20 has a better power curve for drifting, road racing, etc.

iam prob gunna go for drag do u guys know how much HP can the KA handle

[CrzyMR2T]

the sr is also lighter. it might be only a little lighter than the ka, but thats when the ka isnt turbocharged. when the ka does get turbocharged, with all those parts, theres gonna be a considerable difference. cast iron is strong, but it also weighs a lot, its good if you want a lot of power.

Ka's can handle HELLA clear over 500HP if you really wanna know:-p just gotta look around for parts and what not and you should try learning about the car/block if you wanna turn it into a dragster

[BaDmAn]

also if you wanna example of a KA with over 500 HP goto www.ka-t.org and check out Duy's car. also brian is pretty helpful if you wanna ask about this kinda stuff

[VQ30DE]

is that on stock block or do u have to rebuild it?

[logik23]

Rebuild the block??? Stock block, but forged internals, probably, you have to have forged internals to handle high power safely.

yea another good site is www.phatka-t.com there engine has stock internals pushing over 400hp and torque. But i dont think anyone would recommend doing that... especially if you want it to be daily driven.
