pallnet Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I have no time to mess with it right now. I have been so busy with the new job at Toyota (Tech) and making rails for customers that I havn't touched the car. This is the two plans I have if you want to do it to yours. A) Dent in the oilpan where the swaybar passes. The dent will be one large long dent (controlled). OR Remove and cut the oilpan where the swaybar passes then weld in a "C" shaped section to clear the swaybar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftZ Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 What did you do for connecting the guage cluster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallnet Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I tied into the plug under the right side of the dash, search the 240SX forums. I had to run a few other wires in my engine harness but it was mostly for extra gauges. Funny thing is my stock tach works just fine and the RB guys claim to "HAVE TO" change the tach with a Maxima tach. I wired in a fuel pressure, oil pressure and boost gauges.

OlderThanMe Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 The model you would be getting the oil pan from is from an 80-84 L24E gas maxima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamsZ Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 So if I get the R32 crossmember I need the 84 Nissan maxima oil pan and a little denting to the oil pan, for it to fit? Where can I get this oil pan, ive been looking for it everywhere online and I cant find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull_Leader Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 That's a weird swap...Isn't the Ka engine vastly superior to our L28? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbogrill Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 At first this sounded like the dumbest idea ever but thinking about it it can make sense. If you know L28 and have L28 parts then why not? A "normal" turbo KA seems to be about 300 whp, that is not a strange number for a L28ET. The L28ET also came as a turbo from factory, that is always a good start. Lots of people fiddling with L28. For NA the L28 is much more common than KA24. Downside would be weight and I think the KA24 gets better mileage and emissions. But I have no experience with KA at all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dig through the various KA DOHC L series threads you'll see a fairly strong reoccurring opinion that the KA head is superior in many ways to the RB heads, and that the main issue the KA engines have is the crappy factory crankshafts. A KA paired with the crower stroker kit and a big turbo likely has a better power/psi ratio than most RWD 4 cylinder platforms to date. Clean up the head with mild work and the right cams and you can just push power until you run out of turbo or find block power limits.
