If the KA came from the factory turboed, they would have destroked it, beefed up the pistons and called it an KA20DET here in the US, while it would have been known as the SR20DET in Japan.

tracy you are such a ricer bandwagoner with that SR in your car
wow, 11 pages.............
but 2 or 3 is about Rotary
DAMNIT, TOAD!!!!
Rotories are ghey.
I forgot to tell you guys this. This past weekend in ST. Louis where we were drifting, one of the drivers (Rob Fleming from XAT) drives a KA-T, fully built and makes about 450 whp, blew up his motor. It literally blew the engine to pieces. He had a piece of the block that was like 6 inches by 6 inches that he saved.
lmao
lol
no, their not...DAMNIT, TOAD!!!!
Rotories are ghey.
and im just trying to spice up a dull thread
So why do you think they would have taken away disp?
just from my expierence with my 240. sr with front mount, lsd, 12 psi, profec b, blitz bov, afc II, 3" exhaust, it was a fun car, and i really enjoyed how much the motor loved to rev, but if i had to do it all over again i would buy a ca18det. iron block = ton of boost, one lobe per valve unlike sr's one lobe per 2 valves, all around better valve train, better bore/stroke ratio, revs higher than sr, intake manifold splits into 8 runners (2 per cylinder), 1 stays closed until 4ishk rpms and then opens for better low end torque, basically its a 4banger rb motor. the ONLY reason nissan stopped producing the ca is because of how much it cost to build, NOT because it was an old design. do your research. you want a sr killer??? ca18det head, ca20 block, and tomei stroker kit, you get a bulletproof 2.2 4 banger.
aside from that the ka isnt so bad itself, thye have come a long way in getting power out of the "truck" motor. i would so do a ka24det for drag simply because of the god like torque it produces. and in MOST cases of a stock sr vs. a well tuned ka24det w/ a simple t25, the ka will win the 1/4, but it lacks top end.
these guys do wonders with ka's www.ka-t.org
but thats just my 2 cents.
Operation "Un pimp my ride" is in progress.....
^^ Or just get an fj20 rather then a ca hybid
ca = better valvetrain

i liked your post until you said something about a ka24det.
Now don't speak unless spoken to!!!!!!
awwwwwww it needs a hug.Lol
I think 240's are just a bandwagon thing now, doesn't matter what motor you have, SR, RB, KA, you're on the bandwagon. I bought my first one 8 years ago, I think that was before the bandwagon arrived. I think I am gonna hop on the SR wagon in a few weeks, thinking a 13 blacktop with a gt30R, wanting 350-400 max. I don't feel like replacing trannies every few weeks. KA in my vert just isn't cutting it anymore, and I am enjoying this S14 SR into this S13 I just did.

dare to be diffent
20B 240 FTW
is the new fad now and days saying "i had a 240 way before you knew what a 240 was"...
lol,then it will be i had a SRT4 before u knew bout them.............................................. .................
Yeah right. Fj20 is god because of its valvetrain/head
"DOHC 2- or 2.4 L internal combustion engine produced by Nissan in the 1980s, first in 2.4 L guise as a rally motor for the 240RS, but then later de-stroked to 2 L for general production models when the 240RS could no longer race. The 2.0 L variant was used in the Nissan Silvia/Nissan Gazelle/200SX, and DR30 Nissan Skyline. The 2.4 L variant was used in the S110 Nissan 240RS. While a 1.5 L variant was designed and a prototype built, it never actually went into production. It is acclaimed as the forefather of the CA engine. It has a magnesium head and an iron block, and was available in Japan and the UK. It was discontinued in the late 1980s due to its prohibitive cost. It is most like the CA series because of the cam-over-valve design and iron block with lightweight head. The SR series later replaced the CA in 1991 with its more economical to manufacture rocker arm type valvetrain and aluminum block"
The bandwagon comments are so funny to me. Who really cares? It's a good car. It's cheap. It has a lot of options as far as swaps go. They work good. There's tons of parts available for them. There is good reason that everyone is doing them. So you had one back in the day.....awesome!
I'm proud to be on the bandwagon.
thats why they call it the perfect machine
what do u have under the hood?thats why they call it the perfect machine

good man...least one person is listening
good info, guess i got some googling to do tonight.
Operation "Un pimp my ride" is in progress.....
+1 and good post, and I'm probably gonna get flamed for this, but:
I don't see why people like the butterfly valves in the J-spec CA. I've seen UK-spec CA's do some serious damage on and off the track, and they have a 4 runner-4 port design. None of that butterfly stuff. Shit, the highest hp CA18 outside of Japan is a UK-spec S13.
I dunno, I just think this would flow better than splitting it into 8 ports. Not to mention that damn near every CA I've seen w/ the head/intake mani off is gummed up behind the valves.
Oh, and I'm gonna reinforce my earlier post.
CA18ET > KA24. The KA in my 90 S13 blew up 2 weeks after I got it. And the CA18 in my S12 has gone through HELL with the last owner. Yet it still runs, and gets nearly 300 miles out of a 12 gallon tank. Runs pig rich, but fact is, it runs and it's not showing any signs of the rods saying hello to the fender wells after punching their way out of the block.
-91 240SX -- CA18 Power...SOLD, now terrorizing the streets of Alabama
So Which one do You prefer SR20DET or KA24DET?!?!?!?
^ wow @ this guy
lol
