I own a '89 240sx and it has the stock KA24E motor and i want to turbo it. I already have a stock Nissan turbo in my house but i need a manifold and other parts(intercooler, piping, etc) but my main question is where can i get a KA24E manifold at? Will a KA24DE manifold work on mine? I know the condition of the engine is a big factor and im already taking care of that. Im gettin the engine built back up with new parts.(will i be able 2 use my stock pistons?)

Thanx in advance 4 any answers.

 

the stock internals will be good for small amounts of boost... the sohc motor can take 5 to 8 psi wilout a problem... the only turbo manifold i fund for the kae was 399.00 shipped this is the email address i dont remember the company tho... APS0922@softhome.net... well here is the company after i remembered it...http://www.nizzx.com/main.asp

 

The link doesnt work...

 

if i was gonna do a turbo KA it would be sohc

 

Get a manifold from a Z18ET. You can find them around sometimes as low as $50

 

Whys that?

 

it has a better head design over all

 

so with the E.....where would I find a rebuild kit?

 

autozone or something

 

If you need a manifold and a downpipe for the ka-e I have one and am willing to sell it. 3" downpipe and a t3/t4 manifold, never used!!! Quality is awsome! message me for pricing.

 

You could also checkout Jordan Gladmans website. He has had some pretty nice turboed 240s. You can see his last car at http://ka-t.org/jordan/. Here is his website of manifolds that he makes. http://www.gladmanperformance.com/

 

I just started planning to turbo my KA24E. I'm thinking 250hp and 250ft/lbs. I want it to spool quick and not rev too high, maybe only 6.5k rpm. If I buy a rebuild kit from Checker or whatever can I get a thick head gasket to drop compression so i can keep the pistons that come with it since its quite low boost or will I have to buy dished pistons and have to sell the ones w/ the kit on Ebay?
