seanb Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Okay, I was told this was out of a '97 Hardbody. Supposedly a KA24E. It's missing the computer and the wiring harness is cut at the block. I'm engine illiterate so I don't know what I'm looking at for sure. I was hoping I could eliminate the ecu and additional wire stuff and run dual carbs (with a modified manifold.) I want the engine as clean looking as possible with minimal wiring work. Going in my Datsun 620 BTW. Any help appreciated. Sorry, the photo isn't parked anywhere so maybe this link will work: http://www.facebook....59&l=14cdb48498 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 is parked at Facebook Is a KA24I Quote Link to comment
seanb Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 So what did this likely come out of? Not a '97 Hardbody? Can I run a side draft carb on this? Sorry for elementary questions. Quote Link to comment
alabama_lowlife Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 It definitely came out of a hardbody. The vent on the back of the valve cover is a give away for that. Hard to tell what year it's out of by the picture. There are differences between the 96-97 HB and the earlier KA's but I'm not sure specifically what they are without looking into it. Other than the obd2. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 If you made a manifold, you could run side drafts easy. The KA24I isn't much different then the KA24E in the S13 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Nissan Motorsports makes (at least they did) a manifold for dual side drafts. Those 12 valve motors can make 300+ HP with dual carbs. A streetable 220 would be very easy to achieve with daul 44 Mikunis. Quote Link to comment
seanb Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks guys! Any info I can get is much appreciated. Like I said, I'm engine illiterate and I was afraid I'd bought a boat anchor instead of something I could trick out for my (eventual) show truck. Seen some Mikunis for sale and they look cool.
