Whats up everyone?

[240sxhed]

:bow: Hey whats up everyone. thought i would say HI as since im going to be a regular on Zilvia now. After some old guy drove through a stop sign and totaled my civic i started to look for a new car almost immediately one of the first cars i test drove was a 1993 240sx i loved it and knew i had to have one. unfortunately that one was sold the next day. well about a month later i found a 1989 240 at a dealership for 2400 bucks after a test drive and some bitching i got it for 2000. and as a bonus it has the KA24DE engine in it:D I've had it for a little more then a week now with no complaints at all. My first two mods are on there way to my house right now hopefully they will arive by next weekend. I have ordered a HKS hi power exaust and a B&M shifter. I will keep you all posted on the progress. Later guys:rawk:

hey man, whats up. Just to let u know the ka is the stock engine on all 240's. Welcome to the board. I just got on here a few weeks ago.

[Bill Roberts]

The 89-90 came stock with the KA(E) SOHC and the 91-94 Has the KA (DE) DOHC. If he has a KA(DE) in there, the engine has been swapped and is no longer a stock 89.

Best way to tell?? Does his spark plug wires go into the top of the engine or the sides?

Top=DE Sides =E

Actually, 240sx's in 1989 and 1990 had the KA24E (single cam) with 140HP and 152ft lbs, from 1991-1998 the 240sx's had the KA24DE (dual cam)with 160HP and 155ft lbs.(don't quote me on those numbers);) I was just saying my 89' Has the dual cam motor instead of the standard single cam motor. later

THanks BILL you got to that before i did.;)

[shayrgob240]

Sorry for that. Im just getting into 240's and i shouldnt have said anything. But now i know. Thanks

[Andrew Bohan]

and knowing is half the battle!
GIJOE!!





oh yeah, welcome to zilvia!

[krazy_racer]

why does everyone feel the need to correct somoene else without knowing themselves...



and in turn, i am correcting you thereby relieving my need to correct someone.... the circle continues

[shayrgob240]

hey krazy_racer, i already apologized for doing that. I thought there was only one type of KA but apparently i was wrong. I already said sorry so i dont see the need for u to say anything about it. Im not trying to be mean or anything.

you DE #'s are backwards.. it's 155hp & 160 ft/lb :p

[Andrew Bohan]

he said don't quote! lol :cool:

[krazy_racer]

sykikchimp felt the need to correct someone as i posted above....

what sucks is that he didnt misspell anything so i cant correct him :(

and shayrgob240 i was just kidding man....

[Andrew Bohan]

my turn to correct!
he did say ft/lbs. the correct unit is ft-lbs.
ft-lbs is feet TIMES pounds (the - is a hyphen, not a minus sign)
ft/lbs is feet DIVIDED by pounds, which isn't torque. it's some other weird thing

this thread is great!

[shayrgob240]

There are so many corrections going on here that i have no idea whats going on. Well, its pretty funny. Anyway, its all cool Krazy_Racer.
