there were some threads somewhere about them... there's only a $300 difference.. but I would go with whoever is closest because of shipping costs...make sure wherever you get one from, that they give some sort of warranty

comes with everything. you should be able to bolt er in and be good to go. you might need to buy an innercooler, but you can kits for pretty cheap on ebay.

click "JDM Engine FAQ" and go to red top and read.

I'm truboing my KA24E its got 130,000 miles.
The SOHC can handle 6-8 psi on stock internals.
I think 7 is a happy medium, so i'll stay there :-).

if you drift regularly you can ruin a lot of things... I'll go drift for a good 3 hours at a time in the rain... nothing has happend yet.. depends on the condition of your engine, and how hard you're pushing it...I just make sure to stay away from the redline

He traded for a cr125 in a sraight swap? I'm selling my kx 250 to fund a 91-93 240. I have cash to spare, but I want to make it perfect (sr20det engine and all the extras if you know what I mean)
