would a 93 KA fit in a 98 240sx

[s13 drifter]

ok here the deal i have a 98 240sx with an sr20det but it has a turboshaft play so im trying to take it out and trade for a 93 ka-t fully built but i dont know if a 93 KA would fit in a 98 240sx chassis or the wireharness...need help anything yah know it can be great info.....thanks

[s13gold]

yes it would fit.

[s13 drifter]

cause of wat i know the 93 ka is a OBDI and a 96 and up are OBDII....would that matter?

[s13 drifter]

c mon yah i need some help

[s13gold]

i was confused by OP.
my mistake. i stand corrected.

[s13 drifter]

obdI converting is easier to do and less of a hassle then obdII.

i think this would be easiest: if i were you i would do this is with a S13OBDI harness, ECU, s13 PS lines, s13PS pump. and remove all the emissions stuff while you're at it from your 98 240sx if its still on there.



ok thanks alot that sounds great and easy...

[s13gold]

You haven't help shit. For starters, all KA DOHC PS pumps are the same. Using an S13 pump is the same as an S14 pump. Fail.

Next, the S13 PS lines don't bolt into an S14 chassis, nor would you need them since the car probably already has the correct PS lines. Remember, this is a 98, NOT an 89.

Lastly, the S13 wiring harness won't only not plug into the F3 plug inside the car, but require a ton more wiring than any S14 harness, OBD-II or not.

Thanks for completely confusing the poor kid.

Now to the OP, if you have the S14 ECU and harness, you're fine, otherwise you'll need them, the MAF, and the distributor. Everything else works the same, just cap vacuum ports or tape off unused plugs.

ok im kinda confused so even if i have the s13 wire harness it wouldnt work for my car? so your saying its better if i have the s14 ecu and harness....sorry i dont know much but so you want me to use the s13 KA motor with the s14 ecu and harness...anything you know plz help

[s13 drifter]

how much rewiring do i need to do if im using the s14 ecu and harness? and wat other parts do i need?

[lazierhobo]

just pull the whole harness with the ka, then use that one, ECU and all

[s13 drifter]

would i need any rewiring if i use the s13 harness?

listen to R240NA and ignore everyone else
he answered your question in his post above

if you want to keep it super simple just bolt the 98 intake manifold onto the s13 longblock
then you get to keep that fancy OBDII mess on the intake manifold, and you wont have any dangling harness plugs, etc. this is all assuming you still have ur 98 shit sitting around intact somewhere

[trsilvias13]

R240na is correct. You will appreciate his knowledge.

i dont have my 98 parts...i have a sr20...i sold my 98 motor...so would a 96 and up harness fit my 98 240sx

[infinitexsound]

how did u stuff a sr in ur car... and not know how to shove a ka back in..... most of the parts would work, ur main prob would be the harness and ecu... why dont u just get a new turbo or rebuild it... and call it that?

[ManoNegra]

The S13 engine harness will not mate with your S14 main harness. Follow Russ and aznpoopy's advice. Want a trouble free KA transplant? Take your time and find a 95 and up KA complete with engine harness.

[Addicted2Kouki]

word.

russ knows best.

plus i know it works. i have a s13 KADE in my s14.
--original motor. blown.
