ka24de for life a fan from Saudi love your enthusiasm about ka24de engines I love them to and I think it is the bast sounding 4 cylinder engine ever made that engine has a soul of a fighter
@@fakedeep8678 if it came in your car go for it, its common in europe and Australia otherwise it's not worth it if you can get your hands on a SR or KA
just put it back together & send it, meanwhile build another KA since it's cheap so when that blows up just swap motors and more seat time for you. ps : please do a diy on how to build a ka with some details
KA24's are plentiful and cheaper than dirt. I would like to boost one and put it in an Infiniti sedan for good gas mileage and power when needed. the 15.5 MPG in my girlfriends G37 coupe turned me away from getting the sedan, for now.... for now I have a 02 3.5 ^ speed Maxima.. bolt ons, ECU flash and H-LSD has done lots of good for the Max....
Seems like ka is the way to go I’ve heard good stuff about sr20s but also really bad stuff. Plus it would be cheaper on the wallet and it would a lot more unique to have a ka24det than the usual sr20 build !
Ka is a tough engine, over 250k miles on stock seals and bearings but does burn some coolant. Also unless you plan to boost the ka, don't remove the secondary butterfly valves inside the intake manifold. Leave it all hooked up and working. Mine used to work and I used to be able to bark 3rd gear bone stock but when I removed them I lost a ton of low-end. My best 1/8 mile time was 9.44 on cheap Douglas tires before that ☺
Im from Asia., In my country all S Chassis are ca18det sr20det S13/14/15 and mine is 8 ports ca18det., I never got a chance to test euro 4 ports ca18det let alone the truck motor. P/S - A stock ca18 sr20 can beat the hell of stock KA 🤪
never even seen a KA we only get Sr20det in oz, u wouldnt pick a KA here coz you'll never find parts, if ur talking stock & stock SR for sure but a built motor KA being bigger capacity & better head buts there both Nissan so its a win win, both is good depending how much coin u throw at it
Considering there are SR20 powered cars doing 6 second passes in the quarter mile and no ka powered cars doing the same Id say the SR20 has more power potential than the SR20. Cant say Ive seen any ka powered car winning at time attack at Tsukuba or World Time Attack. But there are cars that held lap record tht are SR20 powered. Can anyone deny what I said? Prove me wrong.
Literally been having KA-T vs SR20 debates myself just recently on the Nissan pages amd mentioned these flaws among others, KA fanboys just ignorantly don't want to hear it
Those shitty 8mm bolts on the SR20 that hold the rear main seal cover in place are absolute dogshit. Every SR block I have ever worked on has those p.o.s. stripped out that have to be retapped. Why you might ask? Machine thread steel bolts in an aluminum block. Any Iron block does not have this problem from the same era, RB's, 2Jz's, etc.
Sr's in America for some reason always blow but boosted KAs either blow or don't make much power never found a boosted KA that could beat my GT30r RB20 just full bolt ons apexi FC piggy back ecu system and walboro fuel pump and injectors made 430 ish depending on the weather at 26-28 psi
& everybody says KA for torque but I've never seen one actually beat a RB or really even a SR never seen a CA in the USA but I bet it would run circles around a "built" KA in its stock form just bigger turbo with more fuel and air flow than oem
I'd honestly would much rather play with a CA setup than even do anything with a KA besides daily it I don't like the way KA's sound nor SR's compared to the scream of RBs and JZs or even may I dare say V8s 🤔🤣
