How To Build A 400whp ka24e

[@Sloppyjalopy123]

I went a different direction on my D21. SBC 350 swap for the win!! It’s a pretty fun combination, but I’m huge fan of what you’ve got here too!

[@LocalLosers520]

I wouldn't mind driving one like that.

[@FullMetalGoat]

man this truck is going to be sick once it has a one color paint job :D

[@LocalLosers520]

Even when it's finished, I dont plan on it being one color! 😉

[@curlste72]

Sleeper is the way to go

[@coltenreb6053]

Anyone wondering about the timing chain tensioner he talks about, it is the Martin Industries Ka24e self adjusting tensioner.

[@LocalLosers520]

Totaly forgot i mentioned that. Its in the description now!

I am the 400hp stock internals buddy? 😅

Of course its you lol

[@landontillman8077]

I’m 17 and about to get a Nissan Hardbody with the ka24 in it stock 140hp as you might know but I’m aiming for a cheap build stock internals 300hp not crazy power but a cheap build 300hp I’ll be happy with

[@geekers8644]

@@landontillman8077 200-250 you can do reliably. Watch MOTO-iq video on the KA24e. They have a good parts list and good info on the engine.

[@bijoutaylor3408]

I just got my 1990 stanza running it has almost the same engine as a s13 except i bet it doesn't have the girdle. Hopping to get a stage 2 cam and maybe raise compression one day

[@evanhamady3289]

Are you running the stock crank ? I’ve read a lot of people who turbo the kas don’t mess with the crank

[@LocalLosers520]

Stock crank, they are good for a while!

[@evanhamady3289]

@@LocalLosers520that’s what I’ve heard thank you ! I’m planning a parts list for my ka turbo but I’m on a budget lmao

[@LocalLosers520]

You can definitely do a stock rebuild. Gap the rings, do a nice head gasket and head studs. Should hold 300whp no problem! Probably more.

[@evanhamady3289]

well im looking to keep it between 3 and 4k and i wanted to run forged internals but i want to make sure it doesn't blow up lmao

[@scottphillips2420]

I've been watching you for a long time but I haven't seen you for a long time. Seems like you have a hiatal hernia be careful with the acid reflux, I have panic attacks from all the coughing and irritation. I'm glad to see the kids are growing up but you got to take care of yourself so your grandkids have a grandpa;-) 0

[@LocalLosers520]

I have gerd really bad. Ive had it looked at.

[@hardbody_Santiago96]

Nice video you're engine should be good for 500hp but it will be super reliable at 400 for know

[@OFFICIALThunderRoad]

What is the rocker arm ratio for the mechanical rocker arms?

[@LocalLosers520]

They are modified stock arms.

[@spingebill5987]

How does the trans handle that power + drifting?

[@LocalLosers520]

We have yet to take it drifting. We'll be doing that at the end of the month. It did just fine on a 200+ mile drive and a weekend of drag racing.

[@corsairmotorwerks547]

Love your vids bro. Are you running the fuel tech in conjunction with your stock ecu? I was about to pull the trigger on a mega squirt, but now I’m second guessing

[@LocalLosers520]

Nope, it's a full stand-alone ecu.

[@scottgarmon4865]

What are the weakest links inside the short block? is 450 wheel out of the question with a turbo?

[@LocalLosers520]

The pistons are the weak point. 450 has been done, but i wouldn't recommend it.

[@gc2353]

What distributor CAS wheel using ? 24-2 wheel ? I know DYI auto sell a few differents CAS wheels

[@LocalLosers520]

Yes the 24-2. I'm not sure what size it depends on what distributor you have.

[@gc2353]

That’s awesome you got it working on the fueltech with that CAS wheel from DYI . You got the LS D585 running in batch fire and same for the fuel injectors . What dwell ms you using for the D585 LS coils to work correctly ? Those ignition coils tend to self discharge

[@gc2353]

Older version 24-2 with the 1 home ?

[@isaacrhoades6076]

What is the maf setup? Just swapped over a s13 manifold to my truck and not sure where to put a maf

[@LocalLosers520]

I dont run a maf.

[@chevyon22joe]

Where did you find the s14 trans i am assuming its a manual where you just looking in the junk yards

[@LocalLosers520]

I got one on Facebook and the other one from a friend. They bolt up to the single cam but you have to make a big hole in the floor to get the trans in the truck

[@chevyon22joe]

What did you use to plug the old distributor whole?

[@LocalLosers520]

You have to use the distributor for cam and crank position.

[@softbodyfab7588]

How did the 240 trans mount up? Shifter fall in the same hole? I know they’re different lengths between the truck and the car.

[@LocalLosers520]

No it doesnt you have to cut a big hole in the floor to make it work.

[@softbodyfab7588]

@@LocalLosers520 what about the mount?

[@d21edwin]

@@softbodyfab7588you can use the stock hardbody trans mount and the cross bar bolts on line factory still . I have the same set ip

[@LocalLosers520]

stock mount works fine

[@jojk123]

What type of piston rings do you run?

[@LocalLosers520]

This truck is running super tech rings that came with the pistons

[@leanndraysanchez4166]

Hey what kind of intake manifold is that and where i can get cause i see most ka24e its the intake and throttle body that faces up like a carb but im looking to change it to your kind off intake

[@LocalLosers520]

It is from a 89-90 240sx. It is pretty hard to find and usually pretty expensive.

[@wildrosebushcraft]

​@LocalLosers520 I've found one can I run it without the turbo ?

[@ChristopherRosa-pe4dj]

Wasup brother im trying to do coils on mine how did you do it how do you get you single for the coils

[@LocalLosers520]

Coil overs or coil packs?

[@ChristopherRosa-pe4dj]

Separate coils

[@ChristopherRosa-pe4dj]

My tuner does want to use the distributor

[@JoseSoto-hw8sz]

So you just bought it like that?

[@LocalLosers520]

No there are alot of videos on this build.

[@shattrd3]

hey ronnie what happened to beau?

[@LocalLosers520]

He felt it was time to move on. We are still good friends, and we hang out regularly. Go to events together and all that stuff. He just felt like he had more important things to spend his time on.
