Looking for more power....
 

I have a new KA24DE engine sitting in my grandmonther's garage and i have near 425 dollars what can I do to bring HP around 250-300 without NOS or turbo.

I read this forum "How to power yourKA24de to 200+HP for under $1000" but it mostly talk about the HKS cams for 375 but then there goes all my money almost cuz i only have 425 to spend... i want more mods then just cam work cuz i want at least 300HP

what would injen cold air/header/and a jet chip give me? and would i have enough cash for it all????

I doubt it would get you near your targeted hp goal

are you serious? :laugh: :laugh:

yeah i'm serious hahaha i need more power and i only got 425 dollars.. LOL i guess 425 dollars wont get me really far....

The engine is out of the car correct?
What year engine is it?

Get the headers, Chip, K&N filter, Go to the junkyard and get some KA24E pistons and get some 1991 KA24DE cams.(I think thats the best stock one) Buy urself a new headgasket and valvecover gasket put the pistons and cams in.
* Higher compression, alittle better breathing
I think thats gonna be the closest u'll get to ur goal with that money.

*Dont bother with the Injen intake the hp difference between that and a good filter isn't that much.

My Nissan 240sx is a 1992 and I have another 92 KA24DE engine sitting in my grandmother's garage....no my old engine is not out of my car yet but it will be soon its junk with 200k miles and I spun a rod or something and my head is ****ed up on it. the engine i have in my grandmother's garage has 80k miles.

So what type of headers should I buy??? Where can i find the chip? what web site? and why go to the junkyard and pull out pistons from a SOHC when my engine is a DOHC that doesn't make any sense.... also someone told me that it's not always good to re-use pistons.....and also is this true..someone said that a 93 altima cams would work in a 240sx and the altima cams would had more HP? how is that true? do you know?

I believe SOHC pistons in a DOHC block will raise the compression ratio.
While technically correct, if you put some new rings on them it should be okay.

Keep in mind that changing pistons isn't a task for an average weekend greasemonkey. You'd need a service manual, a midrange set of tools (all the basics plus allan sockets, ft-lb and in-lb torque wrenches, pulley remover and piston ring clamps) and a bit of experience and organizational skill when dealing with this.

any i asked before does anyone know about the altima ka and 240sx ka cam swap?

i think the cams do, but im not sure.

I would get Hotshot headers. Do a search if u wanna kno more bout them.

JWT for ecu tuning, but i dont remember how much.
The point of goin to the junkyard is that 425 isn't much money. ur gonna end up doing more work to save u money.

U can port the intake urself, but i wouldn't recomend it.

if i add the SOHC pistons with new rings to get higher cr.ratio will i be able to add a turbo on if i wanted to without blowing anything up.

Not without really expensive racing fuel and a better ignition system to go with all the other turbo electronic goodies. I've read that 7 or 8 PSI of boost is equal to increasing your CR by 1:1. Stock CR on a DE is 9.5, which is already pretty high to be boosting on.

If you plan to boost later, you should forgo the intake, header and chip.

well i do want to boost my motor up in the summer so what all do i have to do so its turbo ready? give me a list
