Risk of KA24ET???
Hi all. I was wondering about the RISK of putting a TURBO on a SOHC on the 240. What a some problems it might run into? Is there a solution to that problem? What can i do to avoid this? I'm just gonna take a wild guess that maintenance is the answer for the 3rd one :p. Any answer/ suggestions would be great. ty.

buy and sr20 for the same price

well, if you do it wrong it'll explode.
and it's best to re-build your engine before you turbo it, so it'll be ready for higher compression, though i hear you can run up to 7psi w/o it. An SR? you have to be joking. why would i trade a 2.4 cid engine for a 2.0-2.2 engine? they make less power AND less torque... you can't put as many psi into them either. so why would i want it? b/c it's JDM?? hells no. the guy asked for advice b/c that's what he wants to do. don' rip on his choice |
It;s pretty safe if you do it right. The KA24E is very boost freindly since it has such a nice compression ratio. But I agree with Texas, rebuild your engine because if it's the E, more than likely it's gonna have a bit of miles on it. So it'd be best to build it from the bottom up and have a nice KA-T monster. Go KA!

i'm was thinking the same thing about a KA24E Turbo =P into my 89. That or swap in a 95+KA and try just get the freddy turbo kit and make it fit hahaha the only problem with that tho is i don't know if it's possible, or i mean cheaper alternative to the SR swap =P Shops today OVER CHARGE! on the front clips, and the labor for it. The cheapest i found was 4500 for the clip and swap.
Well sirikool if you are going to do the SOHC Turbo plan let me know how it comes! please! =P i'm not planning on doing anything major like that for atleast a year. So yeah i'd like to know how it comes along. |
Thx for the info ppl.
My SOHC TURBO PROJECT won't happen for another year or so. I must learn my car otherwise I am not worthy. :p |
i got a t-3 turbo setup wafted under my nose for an unbeatable price, i might just have to jump on it & see how my sohc goes... i'm also thinking of doing a rare swap, so a mosdestly boosted engine & a re-programed ECU will do nicely till then i think. b/c the swap will have to wait till college is done.
|
I've started savign for my turbo ka project. I should have everything by May. Thats put on and everything. I cant wait. I <3 boost!
|
Why do you want to turbo your KA24E?
Why don't you just get a KA24DE then turbo that? |
does any one know the compression ratio of the e and de i've hear e=9-1 and de=9.5-1 if any body knows please tell me thanks

E is like 8.something:1. And an E can handle more boost than the SR since it has low compression and has a bulletproof iron block.

x.x sorry my internet has been down!
|
the compression on the e is 8.6 to 1
(and i'd turbo my e b/c one of my friends wants to give me the lil turbo set-up off of an old 300zx and it wouldn't cost much to do the whole thing, as kind of a temp thing till i could switch to DE. And from what i hear the diff between DE and E isn't that great, except DE's are generally newer... and the twin cam can be more stable.) |
