quick qestion (i feel like an idiot)

[SR240DET]

a buddy of mine sold me his ka.. we think its a 91... but im not sure.. is there any way to tell if this ka has the 91 cams in it?

[MakotoS13]

12 or 16 valve?

that's prolly your best way to check *sigh*

[mike13]

im pretty sure its one of those special 24 liter SR engines runnning around

[Andrew Bohan]

12 vs 16 valve would only tell him E or DE, not specifically '91

[SR240DET]

91's came sohc? iv got a sohc in the back of my truck and a dohc... the dohc is going into my s14 ( due to the lower miles and good tranny)

im just trying to figure out what year exactly the dohc is.. thanks guys

[negular]

91-98 dohc

[knightrider]

no the single cam only came in 89-90 cars, 91 and newer came with DOHC. cant really help ya on identifying the motor, maybe check the serial number on the block,

[negular]

maybe check the serial number on the block,

take the timing cover or valve cover off since its sitting out of the car.:boink:

[sykikchimp]

what color is the valve cover?

goldish hue, it's an S13.

all s13's had the 240-248 cams

[s13Dr1ft]

what year was the car? this isnt that hard..

wtf guys, the 91's had more aggressive cams, there was a thread on this just recently, I'd search for it, but that should've been someone else's job *hint-hint* ;)

All you guys talking down to him about E vs DE need to stop being condescending, cuz now u look dumb. He knows what he's asking, he wants to know if he has the more aggressive cams that came in the 91 KA's.

edit: sykik is right. apparently all the dohc s13's had the same cams, not just the 91's (tho I can understand the misconception now, as there were more 91's than 92 or 93's together)

Yes listen to the man^^^ I don't think the original question is asking how to identify DOHC and SOHC there were the cams that were apparently only in a 91, but I have heard so many different things about them exhisting and not being real. Good luck and I think searching a lot of other posts would be your best bet.

well ill be damned, i didnt read it right. I appologize.

Sorta.

'94 convertibles had smaller cams and no secondary butterflies... S14-style.
