rebuild is pretty vauge, what do yuo mean specifically? also is it a Ka24e or Ka24DE

[DrifterN]

rebuild is pretty vague.........
tell us your goals in the "rebuild" stage of your KA
and maybe you'll get some hard numbers well not hard but solid.....

[MrodDrft]

maybe hard and stiff

there are solid digits there for you
all in all maybe you'll end up coughing out 2-3g's+
hmm KA's are cool and good for learning to drift but man rebuilding a KA is not a common sight for the shop hahaha its usually "i'm purchasing an Sr20" type of ordeal.....but good luck!

I've seen all the necessary parts for roughly $275. If you did the assembly yourself, you'd be golden. Hone the cylinders, get a three-way valve job done for about $125, and have the head cleaned and magnafluxed for another $75ish. I got all this from an advertisement for a shop near LA.

If you're gonna stay in California, keep the KA... SRs DO NOT pass smog and should be sold as an off-road vehicle. (Unless you like paying for the swap back to KA when the buyer sues you because the car doesn't pass smog. Check California law... it's in there.)

[BENJO]

yeah im planing to keep my ka

i dont realy know much about rebuilds and was wondering what actualy happens to the motor during the rebuild? (so i kno what to look for) and im also planing to purchase the greddy bolt on turbo kit when i gain more experiance so if that affects the type of products i should get for the rebuild then what parts should i look out for?

oh and i also found this site:

http://www.rpmmachine.com/enginerebu...nissantop.html

besides the parts it says it doesnt come with, does this have all the stuff i need for a rebuild? and my last question, on the site it says: "IMPORTANT! Please Note: if you do NOT specify an Oversize when ordering, you will automatically get Standard size." what does oversizing mean and is it worth the extra money?

thanks

[BENJO]

oh and whats the common price range for a rebuild kit? because i found this site and it offers everything for $879

uh... GRiDRaceTech

we'd love to payfor a swap back to KA if the buyer sues us but too bad we don't have a shop in Cali
so....my conclusion is we don't need to check cali law.....
sorry

[GRiDRaceTech]
