The death of the KA24de

[MrSpArkle]

I believe that the frontier was the only nissan car using the ka24de. But it seems that starting with the 2005 model, the frontier will be using the qr25de.

a moment of silence.

and a look at the silver lining: what does a RWD ready qr25de mean for the 240sx scene?

[nightwalker]

yeah, I work at a nissan dealership, and I see those KA 99, 2000 frontiers all the time. qr25de rwd... hmmmm... :D

[citizen]

but its a truck engine !!!

[twitchy]

so is the ka24!

nissan will never make an affordable little RWD again. I wish they would but i dont think its going to happen

[BadMoJo]

so is the ka24!


Not the KA in the 240sx. KA in the Frontier = truck. KA in the 240sx = Sport/pass vehicle motor.....

Not that it fucking matters though.

[citizen]

i guess twitchy didn't get the joke....

[Bbandit]

qr25de.. hmm.. interesting...

[DuffMan]

Hmm, it outlasted the SR by 1 year.

[citizen]

meh and ghettokracker didn't get the joke either~

[BadMoJo]

yeah, Both are not "truck motors" But hey, whateva!

And Nissan does seem to like doing that whole car->truck engine swap thing... oh well.


And rock on to the KA out lasting the SR by 1 year!!

[Ghettokracker71]

Qr25de Mmmm:D

From what I've been told the crankshatf is really wimpy on them though,at least the FWD ones.

Sounds expensive(swapping from a brand new vehicle,litterally a truck this time:() with little or no aftermarket support for more power.:whip:

[sykikchimp]

rwd QR swaps for EVERYBODY!

What kind of power is the new frontier going to put out?

The QR is certainly a better NA engine than the KA.

[twitchy]

said it before and ill say it again...ill tear out the KA, rebuild and supercharge some day....then ill show the QR swap people how its done!

[Andrew Bohan]

sounds like almost time to build myself a 250SX

[Siizzzoooo]

I wonder if they're gonna use similar mounts where it would be possibly to swap the QR in...better yet the 4.0 V6 :p

[black s13]

did the chassis change on the frontiers when the motor changed? if not, the mounts should be somewhat close, assuming the truck KA and the 240 KA are even the same block, it could be somewhat straight forward (making it sit in the engine bay at least.)

[DocTaDrifT]

i wounder what the specs are on this engine

[Andrew Bohan]

hooray for 10 month old thread!

[speeddreamz]

Am I a retard or isn't this the same engine thats in the v-spec SER?

[SirWarrior]

If they can make a mount for a H22 into a civic, Im sure someone who wants to could make a mount to fit it in there.

[wootwoot]

I know its old but even if the mounts are different big f'n deal man! Making a mount kit isnt tooo bad. I wish there some more info of this though, just curious ya know

i believe teh h22 into civic also had to have different axles

, assuming the truck KA and the 240 KA are even the same block

would it still be called a KA24de if it was using a completely different block? I've never heard of that happening, but I could be wrong.

[black s13]

fwd and rwd SRs arent very similar, are they?

[MikeDeuce]

It's not dead, it's just out of town!

You can still get it in Mexico... Hell you can still get the hardbody truck in Mexico:

qr25de in the xtrail has 180hp mmmm

[driftyour40]

I think the only cool thing the qr would bring to the 240sx table is vvt thats it. Well there is the sr, but you would have to import that.

KA= cheaper and easer

QR = pointless

just my .02
