Project Nissan 240SX KA24DE Part 2 - Tech Knowledge
|
Since the KA24DE came as standard equipment on the stateside 240SX, we had no issues with fitment of the engine. Starting at the base, Naoto chose to use solid motor mounts from Blast Racing to keep the engine in place under high load situations. Made of billet aluminum, solid mounts are non-forgiving when it comes to vibration, but considering the car the engine is being built for, this is a small concern. In actuality, non compliance aids in keeping anything not secured to the engine in place. These mounts were originally designed for use with an SR20DET engine, and after the initial installation, it came to light that the KA24DE sat a little high, comparaed to the position of the SR20DET. Cutting the overall height of the mounts by 10 mm improved clearance of the engine to the hood. View Related Article
