Advice On Rebuilding Ka24de

[rolldogg619]

Can I get some advice on how to rebuild a ka24de motor? Thanks.

[Wei240]

get a factory service manual, it has all the specs in there

Advice is, read the FSM, pull the old engine, tear it down, replace what needs replacing, upgrade what needs upgrading, reassemble, reinstall, tune. Maybe you had a more specific question we can help you with...

Hey mello.....great link to the Kaaz LSD install......I printed it and am gonna use it!! mad props yo!! :cool:

[MELLO*SOS]

you're welcome dude, you'll love the KAAZ :bigok:

To stay on topic... Rolldogg what are your plans for the KA, do you just want to get it running or are you looking to turbo it, etc?

Get a copy of the FSM from here (http://www.zeroyon.com/index/content/view/24/47/) and start reading up!

Hey mello. I just want to get it running for now then go turbo.

[Wei240]

if you plan to go turbo, better build it up for what you need now, so it's capable of handling whatever you want in the future,

because it'll suck once you rebuild to stock spec and you want to go 23423xyz whp power goals and then realize you have to tear it down again...

Thanks Wei. I was just thinkin the same thing. =)

Like Wei said, if you're planning to go turbo eventually, you might as well build it right the first time you tear the motor apart. If that's not an option for you, due to the expense & down time, you may want to look into buying a used KA motorset from a local guy. It'll only cost you a couple hundred bucks and get you running right away. Also if you go this route, you'll be able to keep your blown motor and rebuild it for turbo setup on the side...

What is wrong with your motor?

Hey Mello, I was also thinking about just dropping an sr20 motor in. Which do you think is best?

[cmcdougle]

RB25 or LS1 FTW!!!

[Wei240]

man,,... from rebuilding a ka to stock spec and then turbo it and to sr swap....

i think it's time for you to do some researching on your own
