Unhappy dissapointed

ya know, i have been looking around at all the links and everything throughout the site here, and i came to realize that my engine has little to no performance parts.
it seems that every link on this site has parts for the ka24de/sr/rb but not or nearly nothing for the ka24e.

i dont have money to swap a motor into my car. i was reading through how to swap the unholy sr20 and frankly it seems a little hard to swap.

dont get me wrong, re-locating power steering, your AC and having to get a gauge cluster from a 180sx, makes it well worth it, but why dont they make any parts for just the 24e?

i guess i just dont look hard enough. also, i guess i just cant buy the right cars.. i have my grand am SE, no parts. i have my 90 240sx, no parts haha.. i mean there is more, but i have never seen a turbo 24e yet.

thanks,
-slo

Dude, what are you talking about, there are loads of performance parts for the KA24E engine. Just search a little more next time that's all.


And the KA24DE is a reasonable swap, that's what I'm about to go with and it is very affordable.






Take Care,

for a complete engine mega tune, better cams, reinforced rods and pistons, alluminum fly wheel, under drive pullys, better rockers, TURBO

just anything because i would rather spend the money and tune the E to perfection then go get an sr20, which i will do eventually, but i have never seen a turbo 24e before!

Both, and bro, it's called a search engine, learn it . . .use it . . . love it . . .they make all sorts of them

www.google.com
www.lycos.com (my personal fav)
www.altavista.com
www.yahoo.com
www.search.com (the name is SEARCH for Pete's sake)
www.cnet.com

Do ya see what I'm getting at here. Take ten minutes to search instead of having everyone else do the dirty work for you. We're more than happy to help, but only if you are willing to help yourself. It takes mere minutes to use a search engine and in a matter of 10 minutes (TEN GRUELING MINUTES) I found a bunch of sites that make parts and accessories for the KA24E.

I'm not trying to chew into you bro, I just want you to understand that it takes patience sometimes when you are looking for something. Don't always pass the burdon on to others because chances are, they are already weighed down with their own burdons.


Take Care,
-Dave

I don't know about Ohio, but there are 3 KA24et's near my house alone. I'd do DE swap personally and turbo(cheap and effective).
