ok i have a ka24de in my 95 240. the engine is stock. and im looking for some power. i was wondering what would be better for the money. should i just piece together a turbo kit. or should i just put cams, intake, headers, exhaust and so on? and does anyone happen to know the power increase on the different cams? i know putting in S13 cams will give my S14 more power but how much?

what do u want to do to the car? ull never get the power of a turbo being na, but do u want that kind of power?

I have pretty much the same need as striker9137 i have a 1991 240sx with a 190000 miles on the engine and i would like to bring the hp between 250-300 horse,now the engine is sitting on a shelf getting all the gasket replace and some other stuff and id like some info on what could i do to gain the desired amount of power if possible.

youll never get 250-300hp on an NA ka for under like 7k at least lol
miles go turbo. but you could get like 200 for like 2 grand and thats a nice daily drifter...to me atleast lol

Whysp420

thats what im looking for cuz right now shes only good on rainy day

Whysp420

but still its a bit more power than 155hp and to it count

motegineon

yea if you want above 200hp basically you need to go turbo, if your happy with about 180 190 then na can be done, but a lot of people get there and decide they wana have more and then basically wasted all that money on NA, so decide what you really want first

Whysp420

I dont want too much power for now so i can get used to the car since its my first one and when i need more thats when the sr20 come in play

motegineon

just get your rebauild done, while you have it apart go ahead and put in cams, intake, header, exhaust, pulleys, and a decent clutch and drive that for a while...tweak the timing another mm and youll run 9's

ok i think im gonna go turbo but should i replace the cams and put new internals in? and if so what would be the best for the money or just more power?

zenkislider

well lol, putting new internals...do you mean upgrading internals or just replacing with new OEM. It all depends on how much your going to boost...dont go over 7 psi on stock internals. id build the bottom end. the top end is pretty decent in the KA but again thats based around how much boost you think is decent.
