actually im in the middle of a rebuild since my last post. engine blew cyl3 driving from North Jersey to Connecticut for the 240sxMotoring/CIP meet last month.

KAe's are tough bastards, my engine went about 20 miles before the meet, and its roughly an 80 mile trip i drove her the 20 to the meet on 3 cylinders and then the remaining 80 miles home and she still would hit 3-5psi boost when i needed it. I love this car it refuses to die

i have 2 engines for it. the one thats in the car now with a bad cyl3 and a spare block i just bought.
i am doing an OE rebuild on the spare block so i can get the car running again. then i am doing a fully built block with the motor thats blown.
depending on the condition of the cylinder walls i will bore it out as needed otherwise stock bore is more then enough. I hope to have the fully built motor done by xmas

plan is to run 20+ psi with it tuned properly

mikey- How long have you been running the kat setup before you ran into trouble?

mikey976

i installed the full basic january of 2k10, ran the kit with only a 10:1 fmu and timing retard at dizzy @ roughly 8psi but would spike as high as 15 WG was shit, for roughly six months, mainly because clutch gave up.

at that time i pulled motor, switched to a rebuilt P&P head i had for 2 years in storage, installed stg 3 clutch, RX7 460 injectors and replaced the shitty WG with an emusa WG, at that time i ran a @7psi tial spring and ran fantastic. then after a long trip the WG bolts worked there way loose so i figured since i have the WG off let me up the boost, and dropped a tial 4psi spring in. and ran 11psi up until last month when it blew. about 4 months ago i finally got around to installing my n60 maf as well

caught quite a few people off guard with it, especially cause i have the WG recirculated, it sounds like a N/A ka till about 2800rpm when it spools.

woul the o&j stage 1 or 2 be better with stock valve train and stock pistons

Quick question. curious as to if its possible to use the SR light weight pulleys on a KA24E with out doing any mods or if its even possible at all. I tried to research. but only came up with one thing and I just want to confirm whether or not its possible.

mikey976

hey redtop that's a sexy single jingle you got there but I hope your not running a stock oil pump with all that line. highly recommend you use a 78 datsun l28 pump bolts right on and will give you 20+ psi additional oil pressure.

and yes you can adapt Sr light weight pulleys to kae a few did it on ka-t.org
