KA24E Head Swap to KA24DE
 

Was wondering if this is possible? kinda sounds like the honda scene wit its b-series motors... if so wat other parts r needed?

the search button is a good place to start. this topic has been discussed before.
but you will need to change front cover for fitment.

welp... search was no help in here... wat i'm really tryin to says is it possible to put a dohc head on a sohc block? there seems to b no thread about tis...

I always thought this couldnt even be done...

possible but a pain. id just piuck up a double cam. and swap in the sohc pistons for a higher compression if thats what your looking for.

i jus want the potential from the dohc head instead of the sohc head... since its kinda basically the same block with different compression... how bout wiring? would i need the dohc harness still? reason asking is that i mite go pick up a 89' hatch wit a blown headgasket, so i'm thinkin y not swap out the head while i'm at it...

i personally have seen no gains from it, so i cant speak on it bro.. save yourself the time and pick up and DOHC KA for 300 to 500 bucks.

if i was planning to swap out the motor i mite as well get a ca18 or sr20 while i'm at it... juz don't feel like taking out the whole motor yet... but soon..

yea bro. that thing slides out like butter lol.... CA is a cool motor, was going to get one... then i read up on ka-t and fell for it

yea I agree with Biggame, just junk the SOHC motor and install the DOHC. Freshen it up, make it feel nice and slap on a turbo for kicks.
Either that or go get a CA,etc.

It does come out rather easy tho.

i have seen dyno sheets on KA-t. the single slammers appear to be very Tq. the single cam has its benefits. ill do further research on that.

Yeah I guess we gotta show love to the soloists. They just feel like **** half the time cuz they are so old. When they have a mild refreshning they prob feed good. Mine had +200K so I wouldn've known ha.

i would do a motor swap but can't find ani locally... but when i do i'll probably do it unless i get my sr20 by then..

dude, you cant find a shop locally? your really close to chicago. i live 5 hours north of you, thats no where near a shop. but do some reading before you settle for sr. i personally like the CA, its a baby skyline.

wat kind shop r u talking about cronux? motor shops? salavage yards?
