engine swap

bighead3215 · #1 11-25-2004, 07:50 PM

i got a 1990 240sx SOHC its got a blown head gasket, i want to just swap the eginge but i wanna get something a little better. . any ideas on good motors? would the DOHC that came in the later models match up without haveing to switch motor mounts and switching out the trany?

You will need a 1991-1994 gauge cluster, power steering lines and pump and I'm not sure what else.

Hey logic23...wat do u have in ur car??

bighead3215 · #5 11-25-2004, 10:53 PM

The motor in it now is the KA24E 2.4L SOHC i was thinking about going with the SR20DET 2.0L DOHC VVT i dont know if that would work though if it would how tough would it be? no im not 16 or 18 very close though im 17

It's not that great, it's got 250,000kms, 3 speed automatic, 84 crank horsepower, 13" steel wheels, a pionneer headunit (woohoo!!...it's a cheap one). Oh wait, did I forget to mention that it's a 1991 topaz and not that yellow S14?

(I didn't capitalize "topaz" because it doesn't deserve it.)

well you said u didnt want to have to switch out the tranny so nobody threw out the idea of a sr20 if you get a sr20 you will have to replace everything basically its fairly easy to do if you know what ur doing but werent you earlier talking about the DOCH that came in later models which would be the ka24de right now you have the ka24e

Go ka24de-t.. i'm bombed and i STILL know that ka-t is the best

bighead3215 · #9 11-26-2004, 04:36 PM

so you think i should get the ka24de-t whats the specs on that? does it require a trany swap? i do know what im doing with engines im going to school for it im just new to nissans and i like them im not expierenced them though trying to find the best motor to run

you only like the ka because you don't have an sr. i used to love my ka too, until i got an sr. its completely different (for the better).

ca is also a very good engine, and great for road racing and autox.

all you have to do to get an sr to pass emissions is not to ever take it to emissions. just register it out of county. go to a county that does not have emissions, get a po box for mailing address, make up a street address and you're all set. they'll hand you your plates same day.

all the ka is good for is blowing up.
