^have you not read my build thread lol..... yes the q45's will work, but you need q45 rotors. if you get them from 88 Rotors.com #1 source for performance auto parts! they can redrill them for you for the 4-lug. but, if you go w/ them, i recommend painting them w/ caliper paint before you put them on. otherwise, when they get wet, they will rust up.... looks kind of nasty on mine, but oh well. its not hurting the performance from it, so its no big deal at the time for me.

and boostinIX thats what a hanky is for....LMAO, i know :fonix:

Hey Nice car. Has lots of potential for sure.

My question is: How do you know for sure the motor has 13K? Did the previous seller give you papers? Because honestly, I wouldnt trust him because of the way he kept his car.

I would rebuild the motor just to be safe. We wouldnt want nothing bad to happen.

well i was told it had 13k on it looked relatively good and ran like a raped ape so..... yea he could have lied and what not but his story never changed and it all made sence plus i did a comp test and 3 cylinders have 170 one has 167 so comp is good it ready for boost!

Ok some more questions
1. ka24e's are scarce around my neckj of the woods and am wondering can i use a ka24de block build it and bolt it to my ka24e head no problem with all my same wireing harness etc???
2. I keep hearing more and more about theese ka's I am starting to worry about it now! My comp is good etc.. How many pounds safely can i run until i build it (i did research and was thinking that 11psi would be very safe, Because I will have a safe tune)

depending on the shape of motor, i have a friend that runs 14psi most of the time and 20 on weekends in a 300zx tt with stock block and internals and has lasted a while(couple years) but he does have injectors and a tune, aftermarket intercooler. 440whp

And a completely different motor. Useless.


Keep an eye on it, keep it maintained.

It might be a different motor but not useless the 90 300xztt and a ka24de use the same exact pistons(12010) and rods(12100) and theres more that is identical as far as internals. I'm talking about the strength of stock parts when running turbo running 20psi on a motor with over 100k miles and im not saying its the right thing to do, but ive seen it working.

They share 2 stock parts. What about head flow, oil squirters, etc etc. It all factors in. PSI is also relative, seeing as they both don't have the same turbo. It's an apples and oranges argument. Moving on.

Soon- Go read the thread, lol. Lazy ass :p
