boosting the ka24e isnt the preferred choice by nissan owners but thats definately not to say that it cant be dont or that it hasent been done already. the ka24e is just as boost happy as most other nissan motors. however you will need to vastly improve its head flow to really get your moneys worth, ie bigger valves, porting, high lift cam, ect. your next cheapest route is a flip of a coin between buying a used sr20det and droping it in...

Whatever you choose to do i would at least replace the timing chains and guides.

Quote, originally posted by Broadfield » Actually, the 451M will come with an installation manual. On page 4 look at diagram D. It is for aftermarket actuators. Done deal! If for some reason it doesn't come with the installation manual, then post on here, and I'll toss up the diagram. ok then ill see wats up

You should be able to take care of the average rice wagon with a dohc and the balls to slam the gears but if your dead set on boost go with sr. They are more likely to last and can take alot of punishment. boosting a sohc or dohc many seam cheeper but you likely to be jumping into a money pit with little satifaction. look up 'true pig build' in the tech forms. he's boosing a sohc and its been a while and still haveing problems....

Do you have a FSM. Because in there, it tells you exactly what it means when your ECU light comes on and when it is and isn't suppose to come on. I left mine at my friends house or else I could tell you.

tthis thing is really starting to piss me off i have now checked the tps twice replaced dissy rotor and cap, plug wires, plugs, both temp things and the ignition coil have the ignitor to replace but from what i hear they are pretty pricy so is there any way i can check it befor i go and buy a new one??

it was flashing a code 55 BUT when i did drive the car last time it ran it would randomly come on and shut off along with the led light on ecu, or it would just stay on for a bit

I recommend buying the swap dvds from www240sxtechdvds.org They have helped me out quite a bit. It shows about everything you need to know. I wouldn't say it's a cheap swap. I have quite a bit invested and I am still not finished buying parts. You should look into that before you get in to far over your head. If your new to working on cars or 240sx's for that matter. I bought mine a year ago and both motor and tranny have gone....

It is a Cusco, not a Safety21.

anyone got more ideas?
