rb26 vs. ka24
 
is a rb26 isn't very much better than a ka24 without its turbos.
isn't heavier to?:dunno:

are you saying it isn't much better or are you asking is it better than the KA?

Heres a little comparison:


RB26DE

Capacity - 2.568L
Valve Train - DOHC
Cylinders: Inline 6
Maximum Power - 162kW @ 6800rpm (using a online converter, it says this is 217.16 hp)
Maximum Torque - 245Nm @ 5200rpm (using another online converter, it says this is 180.71 ft/lbs)

KA24DE
Capacity - 2.4L
Valve Train - DOHC
Cylinders - Inline 4
Maximum Power - 155hp @ 5600rpm
Maximum Torque - 160 ft/lbs @ 4400rpms
The only RB26DE that I've really heard of is from a company called Autech who had one in a 4 door R32...don't really see it all that often...

You are right, stick with the KA...its MUCH better!

slepper13 06-20-2005 10:52 AM

the rb has 6 cylinders ka has 4. rb has a little more displacement. so if u bolted on a turbo on ka it would up with the rb. the ka has better torque for its size.

Bryan 06-20-2005 11:47 AM

Again, who gets an RB26DETT and dumps both turbos? Sure a whole bunch of people switch up for a larger single turbo, but its extremely rare to see someone rip them off all together.

In actuality, comparing a KA to an RB26 is like comparing apples to oranges. Both engines have great potential, but realistically the RB is going to come with turbos, and the RB is going to be a better engine to make power with.

Most of the flaws you can pick out like the weight differences can be somewhat balanced out by doing other things, like relocating the battery to the rear, wont balance it out completely but will help some.

I dunno, I'm tired...

wow okay let me get this right so if i turbo my ka i can hang with an RB???

Whao WAY WRONG let see. RB has way better internals for HIGH boost applications. Umm Excellent Head design for better flow. Is basically a built motor stock and HAS 2 MORE CYLINDERS and can rev to 9000RPM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow the RB has the KA beat by a long shot.

HAHA ka has better torque for its size hahahah.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Seriously this is like comparing angry to yellow you cant.

What about F1 engines to a KA? F1 is only 3.0 with 10 cylinders that can rev to 16000rpm. Its only .6 more liters I ALMOST HAVE AN F1 ENGINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you should stop posting. On this thread.

Wait until next year when the teams are running 2.4L V8's going OVER 20,000RPM....Then the KA can hang for sure!

Levi SPL S14 06-20-2005 02:37 PM

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!

Fast1One 06-21-2005 01:10 PM

This thread is great....but I know my KA will KILL an Rb. It has an intake :naughty:

donteventry 06-21-2005 01:54 PM

O deffinately if you put like an intake filter even youll be able to smoke the RBs and probably rev faster, hell itll even sound better...hahahhahahhahahhahahahaha. God i love newbs

CowboyTurbo 06-21-2005 06:47 PM
