yoke's ka b210 project

[yoke_a_b210]

so as the title says i want to finally do what ive wanted and swap the b210 with a ka24de i think i got a good idea of what ill need

Motor and tranny ecu driveline and rear end correct?

Ive been reading up as much as i can but any input as i can get is great and hopefully i can find a motor sooner then later. Also what ill need to modify for fitment.

Feels good to get it off your chest, doesn't it?

... and radiator ... custom engine brackets ... high-pressure EFI fuel pump ... relays for ECU and Fuel Pump ... new fuel line 5/16" to replace the stock 1/4" line ... heavier front coil springs ...

 

B210 has a mid-sump oil pan. It is unknown which KA fits the best in there. But once you buy a KA you can't swap pans. It will be custom pan time if it doesn't fit -- or cut and modify the crossmember.

* Nissan Harbody Pickup (D21 & D22) is rear sump

* Nissan Silvia 240SX (S13 & S14) is front sump

 

You don't need to modify any body panels on the B210. It fits in the stock tunnel. If you use a shorty transmission it fits the stock shifter hole. But most guys use the common long transmission and cut a new shifter hole 4 or 5 inches back from stock.

i was planning on useing the long tranny, the oil pan is what worries me the most and the difficult thing is im recently lost most my tools and garage so.... i have a couple buddies who will hopefully throw me a hand or 2 who have done some motor swap work, so if i use a rwd 240sx KA from s13 or s14 ect the oil pan cannot be changed out? meaning if i fabricate something to fit a little better its useless? thanks for all the input ggzilla greatly appreciated. will have many, many more questions to come. i just wanna find the motor so i can start doing and stop saying.

im second guessing myself now which isnt good i dont wanna be another failed project there isnt alot of b210 ka swaps to reference on and i dont want to much on my plate for my first swap, i could be menstrating like a woman but just thoughts flowing through my head.

Yes you can modify the pan. But a rear-sump pan won't fit a front-sump motor and vice versa.

[yoke_a_b210]

so im probabaly gonna wanna go with rear sump since ill be using a s13 ka or will it work with the crossmember? i might just do custom oil pan somehow. still a little confused about this.

[ggzilla]

No one knows for the B210 what is best. A lot of guys just cut and re-weld the crossmember to fit whatever KA they have.

[yoke_a_b210]

might just have to go with that ill get a better idea once the a14 is pulled.

Ive got a truck pan on my 240 block. Seems to work just fine.

240? Do you mean 240SX? Yes, a truck oil pan will fit early 240SX engine blocks. Only the first two years.
