No, they don't. Though swap is easy enough. 240s had the KA24DE engines. Originally in the s13 line it was because the Naturally aspirated KA was virtually on par with CA18, and since premium petrol was not very common, Nissan worried that detonation would have been a real issue in California and Florida, two of their main target demographics. That and part interchangability made it a decision to develop the KA... which of course by the time SR20 came out and s14s, it was too late to go back.

Silly yanks, always preferred luxury and no fuel economy over FI.

Should be the same.

JDM / ADM = SR20DET

USDM = KA24DE

Yup, no 240sx came out with a turbocharged engine, no SRs, CA18s, or anything else besides the KA series. Bringing in SR20s to swap in was probably the snowball that propelled the american tuner scene (yuck, can't even say that). 240s didn't see the s15 chassis either.

Ya i dunno. the FDs, and Supra mrk IVs were all here, but just never had a big marketing push or support scene. It was always Mustangs and 'vettes. Disgusting really..

That said, i'm glad in Canada we atleast have the 15 year rule, so skylines, silvias etc have been pretty steady for 5-6 years now. In some ways it worked against us though too.

Population of young aspiring tuners and road warriors suddenly having access to affordable turbocharged vehicles (modded I might add) = lots of problems on the roads and accidents... getting the attention of lot of government regulatory offices.

True that does suck kind of like the issues we are having over here where every import driver is an ultimate hoon in the eyes of media/public/police. Makes owning these cars harder and harder as a everyday driver which is really unfortunate.

      Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By Lithium · Posted

      I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.

      Tomei gasket

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
