Z32 N/A KA24DE Swap
Okay okay, let me get this out of the way. I dont want to hear a word about thats crazy or stupid. All I want to know is has anyone ever done it?
It makes too much sense to me, less weight, lower engine mounting, same power and torque
Anybody done it, or tried it?

Doesn't look like they have the same power outputs.

Do humanity a favor and sell your Z. it doesn't deserve such a potentially abusive owner.
VG >>>>> KA
3000cc >>>>> 2400cc
If you're going to do any engine swap, it better start with VG and end in TT.

I agree the KA shouldn't go into the Z.. but the KA has some good potential in the 240sx. I have a fully built ka24e-t that I *think* would give some of you guys a run for your money. (mean this in a nice way.. not smart *** way)
