my 89 Ka24de swapped build

Post by outlaw09 »

here is the start of my first portion of my build

first i picked up my first car a 92 240sx with 224k miles and full car needed work told head gasket was done and still had issues needed starter and other little things

Image
Image

after i got her in the garage

Image
Image

engine is out

Image

new donor shell that i got for some parts and a 150 bux
89 previously had a SR in it so already had everything for power steering swap done minus resovoir

Image
Image

in the garage again

Image
Image

my brother helping me clean the engine up before teardown

Image

after teardown

Image
Image

when i pulled valve cover off the whole thing wreaked of gas so this tells me that this engine had some injector issues
as well as a broken retainer and possible leaky headgasket

while I had it apart did timing chain head gastket and ARP studs

getting her back together
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

had a spare head that was ready to use so i put in on there and noticed in the process that it only had 5 cam caps instead of six that were on the old head and there were different casting numbers on the heads

and in the car now

Image

after the wiring tuck

Image

and a couple of extra shots
