Let’s just say that both motors performed equally the same, the fact that the KA24de weighs more than the vq35de would normally kill the deal for me.
for those of you who are not familiar with engine model #'s the VQ35DE was used in the 350z, it is a V6 and pushed 300hp. Line that up with the Inline 4 @ 150hp KA24DE in the 240sx and maybe you will get my point.
Ka24de- 150hp- 388Lbs
Vq35de- 300hp- 330lbs
you know what really sucks though? for those of you that love your light little aluminum block SR's, well its not very light afterall. its only 3lbs lighter than the ka.
ha ha, you weren’t expecting that where you!

Well now your comparing apples to oranges. The Vq35 is in a different league, both design wise and DISPLACEMENT wise.
Also, it comes in a $30K car and first hit the streets (of japan) in 2000 compared to the sr20det which came in a max $20K car and first hit the streets in 1989.
