wow ka20.. didnt know they made those

if you want to learn about turbo on a ka20, then good luck..but if you want to learn about turboing a ka24E or ka24DE, then search or look on www.ka-t.org.

There is such thing as a KA20DE. But It was only in Japan, they used it in vans, trucks, and I think a couple cars but never in the 240's or America. Hell, I posted the part number on the forums awhile back for the crankshaft. It just a KA with an 86mm bore and stroke.

Yup...

I'd love to get one... just to say I had one...

I guess if the 240SX had a KA20DE.. it wouldn't be a 240SX... it would be a 200SX...

Image that... :eek4:

How much boost with a KA hold? It all depends on how it was maintained and what kind of condition its in. You can boost all you want, but if you don't have the fuel, timing, tuning, parts, or knowledge to make it work, your just wasting your time/money.
What are your power goals? And what do you intend to do with your 240, drag race, road race, auto X?
