The KA turboed owns the SR. Just gotta do it right. Do it wrong and bye bye engine. But the block can handle the boost, its iron, rock hard, lol. The KA24DE came in the s14. Search around for silvia body kits. youll find a lot. Here's a good place. www.takakaira.com

S14 is the Chassis. So -HyJynX- is correct about the USDM S14.
Now the S14 sr20det is sometimes called the 'Slant Top' or 'Notchtop' so it's not confused with the Blacktop S13 engine.

Yeah, S14 is only teh chassis code. 240SX is the American name. In Japan they're called Silvias, the Fastback is called the 180SX. In both Japan and the US, the 89-94 240SX's are called S13s, the 95-98 I believe are called S14s and the 99-up are called S15s. Don't confuse chassis code for name. Although some are interchangable, know that the chassiss code changes depending on the year and model of the car. Just to let you know.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to answer your question. Yeah, S14 body kits will fit the 240 since the S14 is a 240.

Yup, the "d" in the engine code stands for DOHC

KA=block
24=2.4L
D=DOHC
E=electronic fuel injection

Thanks for attending Nissan engine codes 101.
