20b ftw
20b ftw
20Bs all around
Yeah, the nissan pickup came with a ka24.
But the 240sx and Altima came with a ka24.
Not to mention the Stanza has a KA24E.
So I mean 3 > 1.
So the Nissan pickup has a car engine?

i dont see 20B in that list,and its become a common swap in 240s
Don't worry, he didnt even mention the CA18 or even the VQ's.

I can't believe I'm reading a thread titled SR's are gay. First off, its a damn engine. It's what moves the car. Who gives a rats ass what engine someone uses, it's all means to the same end, which is more power! I have respect for KA's but have heard of too many boosted ones blowing up, I love RB's but can't afford one, so what am I left with? The SR... It's quick, reliable and light. Maybe so many people have them because they are a good thing! Is it so rare and avant garde now to have a KA in your car? EVery damn 240sx ever made had one (roughly 225,000 cars over 9 years), how is that new and different? I thought the whole point was to have a relatively cheap, reliable rear wheel drive fun car with lots of potential.
Silly kids and your my-engine-is-better-than-yours attitude.
Stop trying to be cool and just enjoy your cars.
You can't afford an RB?!?!
LOL.
RB20s are cheaper than SRs!!!
Well said, reps to you.
Unless you are talking about RB20s. We frown on that engine in these parts.

my dad can beat up your dad!!
So what Ive comprehended from this thread is that ka's are for the retarded, sr's are for the john doe's, rb20's are for the cheap and the ca's are for the weak?
hahaha, +1.
That must mean VQ's FTW.

I don't want an rb20. I would have thought it to be understood that I was talking about a 25 or 26 when 20's are obviously cheap, but then I guess you can't comprehend things very well unless they are spelled out for you huh?
I plan on swapping over to an RB25 at some point and dropping the SR in one of my other 240's.
Totally agree on the dexcool, but thats easily remedied. Don't know what they were thinking on that one. Even most hardcore gm fans look down on them for that lol
There was a prototype 4 rotor rotary powered vette once, back in the 70's. To bad they didnt go further with it.
Very true, but still I think it was a bad idea considering it was pretty mainstream to just run to the store and buy some antifreeze when its needed. The average person never knew.....
bottom line, KA24POS. SR20DET.....alot better motor. KA24DE=155hp? out of a 2.4L motor? SR20DET makes 205hp from the s13 motor. 2.0L 205hp. KA is a klunky truck motor. all torque, no power. SR is alo higher rev, alot more reliable. save your money and buy the SR. and the RB's come out alot more expensive anyways. RB has to have exrememly expensive mounts, SR uses stock motor mounts. if money were not a concern, i'd have gone with an rb25. but anything is better than the KA, i mean even honda motors....they're better than a KA. go throw your $3000 into that KA, have a heavy ass block, make your 250 HP and call it a day, or buy the SR, do the swap, spend like $2000. that leaves you with $1000 to spend on a build up, you make alot more that 250hp. but keep your mouth shut until you have something good to say.
Agreed. Think I bought my first one in 99', but ended up buying 4 more shortly after. I know this sounds funny, but 3 of them I bought to sell later after learning how versatile they are. I figured they would eventually become the new civic one day, especially after seeing how popular drifting had become in japan. Didnt pay over $1000 for any of them then, but sold every one for quite a bit more a few years ago.
If I was only as good at stock picking.......
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to tracy again.
We're thinking about doing the frontier supercharger on my fiance's car. I bet that would be a fun torquey car to play with.
You should probably do some more research. KA's were in more types of car than truck. not that I dont agree with you though.
yea, KA's came in alot of nissans. but they are unreliable truck motors. no power, lots of torque. hey its like a ford motor... i hate my ford. but the KA came in all those vehicles because nissan sales were down, still under Datsun management here in the states. so, the KA saved money for nissan. it meant they had a powersource to put into anything they designed. 1 motor to design, 1 motor built. no various motors parts list, no various motor problems, just the problems on the 1.
Unreliable?
yea i wouldnt say they are unreliable. Of course they are going to be when you try to get twice the stock power out of them but in stock form they last a long time.
ka's are pretty reliable , until the rod comes out the block...mines blew out at 230k but ran like a champ before it did
I wasn't being facetious. I don't know much about the frontier supercharger (is it pricey?).
But I know you can get an eaton blower from a junkyard for sooooo cheap - like less than $100. Then you can weld yourself together a manifold for the price of some scrap aluminum. Then machine a pulley, maybe $50 or so. Then belts are cheap, and inside the IM you just made is room for laminova cores. Air to water interocooled. So for well under $1k you have all the torque and some nice top end too. Fun car to play with.
a non turbo sr20 is just as weak as a stock KA. only advantage i really like from the sr20 is that its lighter
man honestly do what u do me myself im going ka-t to but thats just what i did my reserch on sr20 3000 clip stock piston small ass rodes or 3000 fully built ka24 plus there so many ka24 that pple dont want that theres room for mistake 300-450 will buy u a ka motor if u make that mistake. blow that sr20 motor see if u can find one under a 1300 in ur area hmmmmm plus shipping if u cant and yea tha sr is a lighter motor well in my opinion tha torque that tha ka put out make up for that and im not trying to dis tha sr20 but why have all that power and no torgue just like havn a honda 250hp 160trq lol both are good motor build it right man ull be good there are 700+ ka-t out there 9s ka 240s man plz they just as good if not better. sr20 is just tha known thing to do as soon u get a 240sx what was everyone first thought (sr20) i can almost put my life on it 95 percent said that oh and just like everyone with a honda what is it k20 something like that lolyep
(bikerboy) thats true man ka all torque no power stock but on dyno a boosted ka and sr20 both 15psi
KA max-->(black lettering) 347.3 hp, 337.4 lbs of torque
SR max-->(red lettering) 357.5 hp, 270.7 lbs of torque
Both similar builds, both running 15psi.
hmmmmmmm look like tha tables are turn sr20 all power no torque
man i have so much more to say but gots to make that money man holla but im with u man go ka-t
