is there a difference between a KA24E and a KA24DE? and if so what is it and how do i tell witch one i have? i have a 91 240sx coupe if someone can tell me.

 

The KA24E is a SOHC and the KA24DE is a DOHC.. I believe the only difference is like that there is like 15 hp more in the DOHC. I think (don't quote me) that the 91-94 had the DOHC but I'm not sure..

 

Actually, there is no difference; you see they both require the use of the SEARCH button to find out information about them.

No, but seriously...

KA24DE, the D is for Dual Cam, meaning it has an intake and exhaust cam as opposed to one.

 

there's a plate on your firewall that indicates which engine you have.

Either KA24DE or KA24E.

I, on the other hand, have a SR20.

...

 

*******...

 

91 is a KA24DE dual, first yr of the dual

on the other hand no Sr20 in mine but i got a CA18

 

its pretty obvious just by looking at it

yeah i see that now it says twin cam but i didnt know at first that thats what DE ment thanks guys

 

hey Biggamehit
on your second pic the engine bay looks like simpler, i wanna make mine look simpler so what kinda stuff can i just take out of there that i dont realy need to make it look less "complicated" in tehre?

 

i got rid of power steering and i took out all the emissions equipment.


the AIV box was part of emissions. there is a egr tube that runs from the headers to that black box and then another tube that runs into ur intake. I scraped it. also the powersteering resivor was taken off. if u want powersteering and if u care for emissions or dont have someone to pass u, u have to keep those things. thats pretty much it

 

hows the performance difference in the de compared to the E?

 

i noticed more tq from the bottom end from the new motor THe KA24e was pretty tqy itself,also with the hp i freed up by taking of some emissions things, ac and powersteering, i can beat other 240,s with KAs in them.

ALso i dont drag much as i use to, but im going to the track to see what time i put down, when i get to the end of the track im going to drift into the ticket pickup line lol.

*ka24e( 140hp 152 tq)
**Ka24de (155 hp 160 tq
tq also means more burnt gas

BigVinnie will give u a more technical answer, i could have but im in a rush to get to the junk yard

 

I've wondered if many people do that! Won't the track people get pissed at you?
