ok just an update i did find a rear wheel drive ka24e and gearbox. its missing its dizzy, starter motor and alternator so what can i use instead of trying to find another rwd ka24e? also the inlet manifold looks like a carby. it is injected for sure but it doesnt look like the fwd or 240sx style inlet manifolds that i see on the net. also lol should i be grabbing the nirvara ecu and loom? can i get it nistuned to suit turbo application?

So which Aussie vehicle had the rwd KA? What year Navara D21?

Alternator is no problem as long as the engine has the alternator brackets. Just use another Nissan alternator.

Distributor is unique.

Get the ECU and wiring harness - the stock ECU is very very good. We don't do Nistune here.

Be careful about turboing. Go to KA-T.org and start reading. Apparently the SR20DET or CA18DET can make more power for less money.

The D21 truck engine USA looks like this:

Yea it was something like that. I think that inlet manifold might be a bit restrictive . Oil think it was a d21 nivara

It is not restrictive, but it is also not tuned length. The difference is 6 hp

so the one that looks like a carby (lol) is still ok to use?

ok looking at the engine it has the wrong type of sump and id have to get one in from the u.s plus its not as good as the ka24de. my car will be able to fit the fwd ka24de as it came with a 4cyl and 6cyl so theres pleanty of room and the sump is right to suit my crossmember. ive just been to the local u pull it and found that the d21 nivara gearbox doesnt fit onto a fwd ka24de. so can anybody tell me what gearbox will fit the fwd ka24de and what car do i get it from
