26k AUD from what I heard and thats a good deal vs the cods

Stock k24de from 240sx (150hp stock) make 190-200hp with
bolt ons such as JWT cams, tuned header and exhaust,
Xcessive inlet with Q45 throttle body, 3rd party ecu
An L20 with 89mm slugs will do it at higher rpm while
Im not sure you can register a 2.4 in a 1200?

That Les Collins engine is around 25,000 aus dollars she aint cheap

Get a KA24DE out of a 240sx and not a FWD Altima etc. The 240sx has about 15 more horse, oil cylinder injectors and a distributor in front. The FWD Altima when installed into a RWD will stick out the back and interfere with the firewall.
Good Luck!

Thanks everyone for the replies!

ddgonzal thanks for the heads up! The SR I was looking at was not form a Silvia! I'm glad I posted this question before doing busines! I'll contact Les Collins Racing for a price on a KA. I just hope it's cheaper than a Millington Diamond Series 2 engine (Ford Escort engine). 24k£ for an engine is WAY TOO MUCH for my wallet!!

datsa73 I agree with you! Braging about having an SR is "cooler" than bragin about a KA, but the looks of the BDKA beets ANY SR (in MY opinnion!!)

Thanks once again!!

do you want pollution gear is the question?

Look at this dude: Tom Wyat III he munched everything in SCCA with a snail and holley!

One truly inspiring Datsun story involves Tom Wyatt III, otherwise known as Turbo Tom. Turbo tom built a rather fast Turbo powered L20b Datsun 510 and entered in the "Walter Mitty" at Road Atlanta one year. The engine developed 275 horsepower at 21 pounds of boost for drag racing, with 250 more like it on the track. It featured at T04 Rotomaster Turbo and 4150 Holley carb set up.

As the story goes, SCCA officials started him out in class with similar style cars, but had to keep moving up in class as he blew the doors off each increasingly powerful group of cars. By the end of the day he was racing with the Corvettes and Cobras. He beat a Porsche 930 on a lap by nine seconds, and a race prepped 427 Cobra by 3 seconds. The race staff didn't know what to do, so they gave him a custom made trophy instead of embarrassing one of the more prestigious classes.

almost ls1 power with 8psi you can just use the head on an L20B block
crappy turbo choice but k24e head setup manifold can be from ebay
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=nissan+ka24e ... b=v37-6_u&iax=1&ia=images
a canadian using the ebay manifold is making over 200kws at 16psi.
Ka24e in SCCA NA tune made 340hp and not allowed 16v but 12v head.

Balance is the key 200-240hp atw with torque at 3-4k rpm is what makes it fun
Tom Wyatt III destroyed everything on the track with that power using old tech!
Also you are talking small wheelbase 3-4 inches less than a 510 so be careful
Pity there arent long guard and bonnet kits swap to a double wishbone 1000 setup
to lengthen the front and wheelbase of a 1200 with a small reverse bonnet scoop
the 1200 would be a Z killer in handling and out on its own in looks.

You can get anything to fit into anything. Use your imagination.

Order one from Les Collins Racing

KA24DE came in Nissan Navara NP300, but only about 155 hp

KA turbo is 350 hp, or with modified block up to 750 hp. See http://www.ka-t.org

If you go with SR20DET, ensure that it's from a Silvia (S13/S14/S15) as the others don't fit in a 1200

It's a toss up. Many would argue either way. Braging that you have an SR20 in your car sounds cooler then saying you have a KA24DE, which I consider a good workhorse engine. Anything can be Turbo'd and Supercharged. Make a choice.

Oh! right! The BDKA make more power, but a stock KA makes less power than a stock SR20DET right?

Did not know that! "No mods needed" is a big plus!! The down side is that I can't find a KA in Portugal or on eBay (europe, not US!)

Make more power?
* BDKA: 300 hp
* S14 SR20DET: 227 hp, S15 SR20DET: 250 hp


Quote:KA is a natural fit already, fits on stock crossmember. The rear gearbox crossmember is the same for KA or SR
