ka24de-ka24e
 

Hi im new at the whole 240sx thing i just went from a mitsubishi starion whats the diffrance between the two hlep plz thanx mar

the ka24e came in the 1989-1990 model 240SX and it's a sohc. the ka24de came in the 1991-1998 240SX and it's a dohc. correct me if i'm wrong please.

No you're right. Also, the DE pushes 155 instead of 140hp and 160ft-lb of torque. Not sure on the torque on the E, bu it's less.

i was pritty srue that the power on the Ka24E was 120Hp/140Ftpounds

no...thats backwards...its 140 and 120...round there at least

I believe it's 140hp & 152 lb/ft for the KA24E

Yeah, Juvenate° is right. Those are the numbers on the KA24E. Checked those numbers yesterday.

Dohc= better
sohc= not better

The single cam isn't a bad engine, but its easier to do anything to the car if u had the DE in there to start. Swaps are easier and more available parts for the DE...

I've read on anotehr forum too that the SOHC has a broader torque band. True, it doesn't reach as high as the DOHC, but it's more spread out.

Oh, got an article on the diff between DE and E. Here ya go, just scroll down. http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/...r03/ask_sarah/
