Datsfrodo Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Hey guys I'm new to Ratsun, but have owed my dime since 2005. I was driving around in it today (bogs at WOT) and some Honda guy waves me down. I had to get gas and he follows me, he tells me how he has a 510 and he wants an s2k motor in it. I couldn't help but to get kinda made he is not going with a Nissan family motor. Im not against individualism, but a Honda motor in a dime seems like its cheapening the car?......right. This is just my opinion any one else feel this way? Quote Link to comment

Datsfrodo Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I bought my dime fro Jose alex back in 05'. I ran the stock points for like 3 months and said f this. Saved up got a killer deal on a full ka motor ($310). I let it sit in the garage for a few years. Been rolling solo for a bit ready to join in the action. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I was driving around in it today (bogs at WOT) That doesn't sound good,,, , especially for a KA24DE......... my KA24DE is scary at WOT..... it will start spinning the tires if I step on it in 2nd gear Hooking up the 02 sensor helped alot with the higher rpm torque Quote Link to comment

Datsfrodo Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Well the fuel line that runs from the tank to fuel pump blew up, I replaced them this morning... After that it seemed to bog when i go WOT, I'm thinking that i have dirt in the fuel filter or A kinked a line. I'll learn to post pics on my post...... That line had to have been O.E or close to it.

INDY510 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Your fuel lines (feed and return line) need to be at least 5/16" tubing Quote Link to comment

Datsfrodo Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Yup i agree, that s2k motor makes a much torque as a dual cam KA, Sr just seems like a better fit. Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Might wanna loosen that clamp and slide the hose up the nipple a little more so it doesnt kink. Quote Link to comment
