Rebuilt KA24DE Nissan Engines for Sale

The KA24DE is almost a clone of the KA24E. The only change is the cylinder head. The KA24E is a 3-valve per cylinder SOHC that’s actuated by rocker arms, and the KA24DE is a 4-valve per cylinder DOHC with a shim-over-bucket valve actuation. to purchase a crate KA24DE Nissan Engines for sale call the experts at Crateengines.co

The bore is 3.50 inches and the stroke is 3.78 inches. It reaches maximum power of 155 horsepower at 5400 rpms except for the Frontier and Xterra engines, which hit 143 horsepower at 4300 rpms. The torque is 160 ft-lbs at 4400 rpms. Most engines have a compression ratio of 9.5:1 except for the Frontier and the Xterra, which have a ratio of 9.0:1. The 2.4 litre KA24DE was used in a lot of Nissan cars and trucks from 1988 through 1996. Some Nissan models still had the engine as a power source right through the 2004 sales season.

The simple design and innate toughness of the KA24DE makes it a popular engine at swaps. The turbocharged and the supercharged engines are especially popular. The engine continues to fascinate car aficionados and some of them are tweaking the KA24DE so it shows some real power. One car magazine published an article in 2009 that outlined the buildup of a KA24DE to 750 bhp, which is a far cry from the lovable engine that powers the Pathfinder.

But, that’s what car craziness can do when creativity takes over. Common sense is left standing at the starting point as innovation crosses the finish line. The starting point in this buildup was to identifying the flaws and weakness of the engine and then reinforcing them to withstand the additional pressure of 750 bhp. The rods, pistons, and crank had to be replaced. A new full-countered crank had to be developed since the stock crank was only half-countered weighted.
