ka24de swap
Okay,
so i'm buying a 95 ka24de to put in my 89 240sx.. I know i have to use a different throttle cable, distributor, coil, ps lines, and such... but do I have to change anything on the engine itself? some people said they changed the intake manifold, and exhaust manifold... what is right?

now the throttle cable on the sohc is just shorter than the dohc cable. If u dont mind the cable running across the top of the valve cover, the sohc cable works fine. The dual cam cable will run behind the valve cover. So its all in what looks nicer. I just used my single cam one cuz i could care less how it looks

can I use the MAF from my sohc on the dohc engine? or does it need more airflow, or what?

Yeah that kinda sucks, if you would of used the 91-94 KA24de engine you could of used the 89-90 ecu, with the 89-90 distributor, with an eprom chip only for the 89-90 ecu you could of removed the rev limit governor. You could of reused all of the smog equipment from your 89-90 KA24e. There is an additional knock sensor for the 95-98 KA24de's and OBD2 technology is a biotch to work with, "too many wires in the ecu harness"

Yeah, it would have been an obd I engine anyways... but it was automatic, so I didn't get it. I would really like to get one from a 91-94, so if anyone knows of one for sale around the pacific northwest... anywhere in washington, idaho, or oregon would be nice...

That link is to the faq I am using for a similar swap ('91 de into a '90 e... totaled my '91 ) I have heard from several people that it is correct and reliable. Use it my friend. use it for all it's worth.
