datzenmike Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 They are not the same but in some cases you could swap them. Z24 rods are beefier and heavier than the KA, not that that would be a problem. The KA24E from the S13 240sx are fully floating rods with the small end bushed and the piston pin loose and able to spin inside. The pistons have a groove in the piston pin boss for C clips to peep the pin from working their way sideways and into the cylinder wall. These would not work on the Z24 without cutting these notches in the Z24 pistons and inserting C clips. The KA24E rods from the D21 Hardbody have press in piston pins same as the Z24 so these would work as they are. Something you might want to check is the width of the rod small end. The KA rod will have to be at least the same or smaller than the Z24. 1 Quote Link to comment

Not sure I would want that builder finishing the build. Quote Link to comment
