Altima KA24DE in a 240SX?

[josenr7]

will a ka24de from an altima fit a 240sx, if not what would be needed to make the conversion, thanks

Conversion process:
1. Sell Altima KADE
2. Buy 240SX KADE
3. Swap blown KA for "new" KA.

hahaha where do people get these ideas from?

where people get these ideas from

You know, anybody that owns a repair/maintenance manual for a 240 (i.e. someone that loves their car) would know that the Altima and the 240SX use the same engine. Then when, they blow an engine, presumably by accident, they would look for an easy/cheap way to aquire a new engine for loved automobile without buying a new 240SX. That is why and how people come up with these ideas.

You'd need most of the parts of a 240SX KA to convert it to RWD, plus a lot of custom work, in the end you'd spend probably well over twice the price of a 240SX KA, plus you'd have bought one along the way anyway. If you have that amount of cash to throw around you're better off spending it on an SR or RB engine, hell even a 2JZ.

2JZ-GTE in a 240...sounds cute

obviously different tranny, another difference is the way they are mounted, ie longitudinal and (cant thik of the other work)

so it may have the same engine code, but i dont think it would be a simple swap.

follow grid's direction.

[dancinghobo]

its transverse , i believe.

[sdtouge]

ya, that sounds right.

[sdtouge]

maybe horizontily.

[rb20]

or laterally

[RotaDrift]

screw it u know u wanna say sideways haha

[sdtouge]

rofl.^ ya i did.....

[mikespeed]

blocks are slightly different and it wont swap

[GRiDRaceTech]

It's transverse.

A lot of stuff bolts up differently. Just because it's a KA does not mean it's just plug-and-play.
