Its not a truck motor. It was built from the ground up by Nissan of Japan and first appeared in the 240SX as the KA24E in 1988 as a 1989 with, "9.1:1 compression ratio, outputting approximately 150 hp" -

It didn't appear in a truck until 1990 as the KA24E in the Nissan D21 pickup hardbody. Before that they used the Z24 engine. The KA engines that came in the Altimas and pickups were all made in the U.S.A. until 2001. They have different flow and headwork done to them. In which case the 240SX(only offered in the U.S.A.)was given the "performance" N/A engine. Similiar output on the scale but better flow, overall.
o.o oh yeah. Its tough to get 200whp out of KA either way. for as much money as you're putting into the NA r00t, you might as well just do alittle headwork and put a turbo on the car and run it at like 7psi for 2 months then bump it to 10psi.
