AK-Z Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Should I do a KA24 swap on my Z? Stony mentioned to me that he has a KA that he wants to get rid of. I'm temped in doing this swap but, is it worth it? I know I would have to have a custom driveshaft and motor/tranny mounts. I see the power to weight ratio being better with a KA swap. I know that the 280z weighs something around 1200-1250 kg and a 240sx weighs about 1700 kg. with a KA motor it would be even lighter and stock HP or KA would be 140-155 hp, which would be easier to tweek for more HP. Edit: Stony told me that is has a auto trans but has something wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
materchan Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 i was thinking about doing a KA-T swap, but i decided to go 7m instead if i ever do it, just more displacement. but no matter what the KA will be better then a stock l28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I would stay with 6 or more cylinders, but that's just me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Ok. I decided to go ahead with it. The motor has (from stony's guess) 130K miles on it. My L28's have well over that. Any thing that I might run into with the swap? So I guess I have some L28 goodies up for grabs then. They aren't on the engine, I also have complete stock L28 engines, N42 and N47. Other things I have up for grabs are: zx83 turbo distributor dizzy/oil pump shaft for turbo and NA 83 Turbo oil pump NA oil pump I'll list more later. PM an offer and ask to see if I have other parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
