I wanted to know what you guys think is the best course of action to get my car to decent.
It is an 89 s13 240sx KA24E stock..
Its not running atm..Idk why not, I bought it for a smoke and drove it home..It sat for 2 months and now it wont start..
I'm sure I can get it running however..What is the next step?
I mean, I hear stock brakes are *** etc..

 

maintenance, coilovers, suspension arms, bushings, bucket seat, short throw, wheels.

 

Is the engine worth keeping?
Is a swap a necessary?
P.S. Thanks for helpin!

 

if your motors fine, why bother swapping it out? i could care less as long as it runs, but thats just me.

 

I'm thinking I would like to be faster then civics...Possible with the KA24E?
And integra's.....

 

who cares? keep it off the streets anyways.

 

keep it of teh streets?!? Why man?

 

At the drag strip?

The ka24e? Probably not... depending on what year and model integra (2000 ls integras are pretty slow but single cam ka is probably slower). ka24de? Probably, depending on if the integra is stock or not. There are people pushing 600whp on ka-t's (dohc of course). All depends on what you want and how much you are willing to spend and sacrifice. Also reliability should always be your top priority.... unless you have so much money you dont know what to do with it.

Bottom line is, if you want a nice car dont be cheap.

EDIT after reading above post:O M G

 

what do you mean O M G thumbs-down-guy??
I am not rich...

 

SO what your saying is, from a racing standpoint the KA24E is worthless?

 

The ka24e from what I've read, has more torque then the common SR20DE(t) swap I could be wrong =/

 

I heard the same..
I am retarded however..Can you tell its application?
Just learned my friend cqnt come and troubleshoot it..
Any suggestions?(regarding geting it to start..)

 

down playing the kae is just blasphemous.

 

u can easily run low 15 high 14 in a NA ka

if all ur worried about is being able to beat honda's then gut it and do some boltons

just search
