Bleach Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 This totally depends on what you want to do. Cheap stock type replacement Easy install POWER more economy something unique and requires lots of fab work What are your goals and budget? L20b or KA24e are good engines. CA18DE if you want something a little harder to find and revs higher. Warp9 electric motor if you want to avoid paying $15 a gallon for gas in two years. Quote Link to comment
77DAT Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Computer crashed and iv been traveling. home now. just got a ka24 out of a 240 sx with the 5spd tranny, thinking of trading it to a guy for a l20b. what add ons can i do for more power Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 whats wrong with your engine? rebuild it. or find a L20 on the side and rebuild it. KA24s are awsome motors but too much work to install and hook up relays /oil pan mods ect......ect......... http://olddatsuns.com/620tech.htm Quote Link to comment
77DAT Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Rear main blew and seized. Got the ka for free with tranny gonna try it Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Find a cheap L20. 4 hr install to maybe a day free KA install????? 1 week to next month to NEVER install. why??? cut cross member buy relays another raditor torsion bar /exhaust issues alternator hitting idler arm/ rad hose placement. finding a KA eleltrical harness and hooking that up I dont think I have seen a KA 620 beside Jeff Hinos and it still took him a little bit to get that going.Finding a oilpan was a big issue I remember when he was doing it.

Not to mention all the little shit that adds up. Even doing it on the 'cheap' will cost you quite a bit. Quote Link to comment
77DAT Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 yea you got a point there. where can i find a big cam, nostalgia? Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 webcamshafts or isky, i ordered one from isky 2 days ago, i got the stage 3 and it was a bit cheaper than the webcamshaft Quote Link to comment
