I have had errors in my build but it was all a learning experience, anyone can throw money at someone and say build this but then it is not your build.
this is just my opinion....
As for a KA, turn it into a KA24DET and it is a SR killer...  plus the resale on a 240sx with a 300hp KA is far more than a SR, yes I know it costs a little more to build. |
A boosted KA, with the added weight of a turbo, piping, IC, and the rest of the turbo bits, weighs the same as an LS1 swap. The LS1 can make the same horsepower more reliably and NA. All aluminum pushrod engine vs turbo iron block dohc engine.
The resale value on KA-T is worse than SR because people still believe KAs are garbage. If Nissan didn't want their "name" ruined maybe they should have shipped the 240sx with an engine that didn't need swapping. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather boost a KA than swap an SR, but as is from the factory an NA KA is underpowered and heavy.
Also Nissan doesn't have a name in this car segment anymore. Small, cheap, balanced RWD cars are a thing of the past. Nissan doesn't care about the S chassis.
