Mangudai is an unknown quantity at this point
You''ll be much happier with a T25 set up bro. You can build an efficient one relatively inexpensive too. I feel you though, I like you originally wanted to go NA but your goals aren't sensible with these engines.

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.

Are you saying their heads are better design wise?
