Na Ka Faq

[ryan hagen]

saw it at crandon, dosnt sound like any other ka i have ever heard, they said 10k rpm and 2.5L dry sump, 280-300hp n/a

[ryan hagen]

this one threw a rod, there were 3 or 4 other trucks running ka's and no one knew much about what was inside, all i know is they are the truck engines with a gforce behind them, and some crazy starters, the fly wheels are about 8-10" around and have a 3 plate mini disc set up(saw one on the ground)

[fckillerbee]

hey everyone i jus bought a 240sx 5speed shell it has a lower harness but i need the upper harness and i found on for it but the problem is that its a automatic harness and ppl told me that it will not work unless i mod it a lil. has anyone out there modded a auto harness to a 5 speed harness? thanxx

[project-D180]

u have to cross a couple of wires so it can read its in park/n

[ryan hagen]

a friend of mine got his hands on a short block from a offroad truck, was dry sump, and based off the actual truck engine, JE pistons, we are tearing down to check rod length

[KA240SX808]

There probably the same 171mm Rods they use in the GT3 KA's.

whats up guys?anyone with a n/a build/setups?

whats up D havnt talk to u in a min. i still got my na "build" that im working on. 93 coup lots of bolt ons, did the body work so that took money away from the motor plus my sr is a money pit but all i need is my cams, nistune, and drive shaft and ill be on the dyno. i think i can hit 200 crank after that. ill post the dyno chart after its all done. did u end up selling your car?

[project-D180]

im workin on body work now on my car..u ever try r.s.ethanpy he's nice wit rom tuning but i kno your gonna tune ya own car..what kinda of drie shaft r u running??i got a alum i ben running for a couple years already.no i still got my car no one picked it up yet..couple of people came n looked at it but they flaked..

[project-D180]

plannig on swappin out the crank next year for a fully countered one n maybe over bore it more to .50 but we'll see..i got to get some bigger cams n bolt ons..let me kno if u run across any spare ka motors n stock cams

[nate1]

im not tuning shit lol, that will be done down at DMS performance. i dont like send away tunes, just not my thing. i have the stock drive shaft in there now i want to get a drive shaft shop alum one. i keep my eye open for a motor if u still need some stock cams u can have mine in a few months. i got a oil pressure light on yesterday, so i hope its just the sending unit or some thing dumb i havent got around to looking at it yet.

[wacko2]

[NoPistons!]

nvm. msglength. edit.

[ryan hagen]

JE Pistons 535523

Carrillo Rods: 19168

[project-D180]

niice. are they custom or are they new from je?

[NoPistons!]

Look at the domes on those mofos. Wonder what the cam specs were on said motor.

[ryan hagen]

the dates scribed on stuff leads me to believe it was built in 2006, all we got was the short block, its all plugged off for dry sump, but the guy who had this kept all that stuff. he told my friend that got the engine that the cams siezed up because it had a oiling issue, which the main bearing were ok but the rod bearing were destroyed in this thing. thie psitons are soooo much lighter than stock, and the rods seem to be also. the guy also told him the red line was at 9k, and their newer engine had belt drive timing set ups.

[ryan hagen]

reply from JE:
"The cylinder bore size listed is 3.522. This was a Nissan Motorsports piston so they do not list any other specs on the stroke, rod, or compression.

We also didnt supply a ring for these pistons. Nissan Motorsports outsourced their own rings. "

lands it at 89.45 or 89.5mm

[NoPistons!]

What about the crank? Full balance? Stroked?


Cool stuff and good score.

[ryan hagen]

truck crank, its been rebalanced, kind of polished, and it has allen plugs in ever journal, so it had some oil passage work done. but its not full balanced, looks like a car crank, but the flywheel mount is thicker. ill take a couple pics tonight

[ryan hagen]

the closer brown crank is a s13, the silver shiney one is the race truck crank

[project-D180]

anyone else with a n/a build,dyno #'s

[nate1]

mine will be up very soon just needs to be broke in, had to bail on my idea of doing all bolt ons cuz the oil pump went, so i rebuilt it with shoc pistons dyno in a few weeks after my nistune gets here and it is broke in.

[project-D180]

whAT cams??stock
