That looks awesome! +1 for posting pics when it's done.

darkside40 · 04-07-2007, 03:47 PM

Whats up guys, ive been a long reader of this post and im still pretty new to the scene. I went to one of the Irvine meets a while back when it was freezing. Since then, my s13s been a lil out of commission. Im lookin to pick up a 91-94 KA24de OBDI. I want to yank my rattling KA24e. I would go with another engine...but due to our location, I'm trying to stay as legit as possible. Ive searched up and down this forum and some of the other forums. I called a couple of the places that swap out SR's with the hopes of finding a KA hanging around but no luck. Does anyone know where or from whom I could pick up one of these? Thanks for the help. Hope to see you guys soon with the whip up and runnin.

cmcdougle · 04-07-2007, 04:06 PM

There are usually de's in the FS section locally. That would probably be your best bet.

cmcdougle · 04-07-2007, 05:00 PM

ok dude, I found this on the first page of the fs section:

http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=136417

there's your KADE

darkside40 · 04-07-2007, 05:32 PM

i saw that...but i was lookin for a 91-94 just because I wanted to make sure it was OBD I. I might be wrong but the '96 is OBD II so I was stayin away from that....thanks for the help though...i'll keep my eye out. I was just seeing if any of the irvine heads knew of anything locally that wasnt posted or something.

coreansurfer · 04-07-2007, 05:39 PM

95 is 0bd1 so you could get an s14

cmcdougle · 04-07-2007, 05:40 PM

well if you use your harness and an OBDI ECU, then it should work as an OBDI. Search that one up, though.

It's the same freaking engine. Just use your s13 intake manifold and dizzy. Plus keep your s13 cams.

darkside40 · 04-08-2007, 09:08 AM

Thanks for all the help...i didnt know I could do all of that...i'll look into all of this...like i said before...still a newb in the house...still trying to figure out the mechanics of going from a sohc to a dohc..i figured just doing it all at once would be the easiest...But thanks again guys..I really appreciate all of the input

btw...coreansurfer..looks good! Can't wait to see it when its all done.

O Snap! I'm not sure from sohc to dohc. I was talking about s13 dohc and s14 dohc.

articdragon192 · 04-08-2007, 09:20 AM

Get whatever motor. An early 95 KA is OBD-1 so it would be good also. You kinda wanna stay away from the 95.5 KAs which have all the emissions crap and stuff from being OBD-2, but it's still doable. You're also gonna need the PS lines and reservoir if you're gonna wanna retain your PS.

And you do want to retain your power steering, so you're going to need the new lines and a reservoir. It sucks without power steering.

darkside40 · 04-08-2007, 10:45 AM

yeah...so it sounds like im looking for a 91- through early 95 then....well..im on the hunt...if you guys hear anything...let me know...again..I really appreciate all the help and info
i was thinkin about callin up rnd and seeing if anybody was doing an sr swap over there and had an engine lying around but i havent had a chance to get to it. that $3k sr swap sounds like a good deal...but...like i said before...im not trying to get popped by the cops out here...and i don't want to deal with all the hassle...Anyways...I'll get at you all later.
Have a Good Easter!

cmcdougle · 04-08-2007, 12:06 PM

DON'T go to RnD. They are overpriced and they don't do good work.

About the legal issue, see my sig.

There's also KA-T or RB. RBs are awesome.

coreansurfer · 04-08-2007, 01:20 PM

agreed, RB FTW

+1 for being the first to mention that early 95's are obd1 while late are obd2.

There's also benefits for having an early model DE (s13) over later model DE assuming you want to go turbo. 9.2 compression and better cams on early model blah blah. And, I dont quite agree about R&D's rating... They treat me well.

cmcdougle · 04-08-2007, 04:04 PM

Never had a good experience with them. They're wayy overpriced, they lie, and they're jerks.

yea yea i know you expressed your opinion to me already on it but I am just expressing mine...

cmcdougle · 04-08-2007, 06:09 PM

yea, I'm not doubting you've had a good experience with them, but you're one of the few.

So anyway, Happy Easter.

coreansurfer · 04-08-2007, 07:23 PM

JER For The Win

darkside40 · 04-08-2007, 11:34 PM

Yeah..i read alot of ups and downs with RND....i was just thinkin they might have a KA hanging around from people who did swaps with them already.

Jung918 · 04-08-2007, 11:42 PM

Just get any dohc you can find. The 95+ still has a internal dizzy while the s13 have an external dizzy. If you want the least amount of headache pick up a 91-94. Just remember that you will most likely get a high mileage engine. It isn't difficult to change out the intake manifold with the engine out. I would get a s14 motor since they tend to be in better condition.

Vatche · 04-09-2007, 02:54 AM

RND is hit or miss.

they were doing swaps for 2500. which is pretty cheap.

so i dont know.

otherwise do it yourself if u can it always saves money.

coreansurfer · 04-09-2007, 05:52 AM

with cars, you definitely get what you pay for, remember that

darkside40 · 04-09-2007, 10:24 AM

i'm with you on that.

tacotacotaco · 04-09-2007, 10:44 AM

so im bored at work speculating. All of you know about the accord. So let me put up a question. Trade in the accord for a wrx impreza or keep it. trade in value is about equal to what we have in it. so it would be financing about another 3k. Resale values down the road and also reliability issues. I just wanna hear opinions

usdm180sx · 04-09-2007, 01:20 PM

If your payment only goes up by less than $50 I say go for it.
