anyways, about the aftermarket support, what do you mean?
the ka24DE and ka24E share the same block,

rods, pistons, rings, same.
all it is just that if you put in certain pistons, your compression ratio would be 1 point lower or something.. i forget.

go to KA-T.ORG and search, you'll come up with good results.

KA-E is good enough for pushing upto ~300rwhp.
the E doesnt have oilsquirters like the DE, so you couldnt take the power level as high as the DE.

gl if you plan on turbocharging it.
noone here has much good info about the KA series, well, at least i dont see of any them
They are SOHC instead of DOHC, that is a disadvantage.
They do have the same block which isnt where the problem of a basic turbo setup come into play... its the fact they have a different head, the head is where the manifold mounts... there are very,very few manifolds made for a E where as a DE has several.
They do not have oil squirters as you mentioned which makes a HUGE difference when trying to boost a stock block motor.

Im not down playing what the motors can do I was just saying its a PITA to get them to find parts in comparison to a KADE... or anything else listed in this thread.

As is mentioned above KA-T.org is a great site for exactly what you are asking about.
