i just recently got a 1995 nissan hard body... new to the scene ... um i was wondering if anyoen knew of any bold ons i could get where i could get them from? i was tryign to look thru some sites for parts but no one seems to have anything and im not sure of whats compatable? any help would be greatly apreciated looking to do and exhaust maybe a new carb cuz single barrle is no fun... any ideas?

 

im not looking for liek any high ammount of hp i just want a boost because 145 isnt much lol just want a fun lil truck gunna do some JL W6 or 7 not sure yet depends on price...

 

First, if you wanted to go fast(er), you should have gotten the VG30E motor instead, but that's not really helpful.

I'm not really sure what 89-90 240sx parts will match up to your hardbody motor. Your first problem is that your motor isn't carbuerated. It has throttle body injection, if i remember right. That carb-looking thing is actually your mass air flow sensor. That arrangment kinda rules out getting an intake. By the way, the "E" in KA24E stands for injection. You could try bolting on an aftermarket header for an 89-90. It should bolt on to the motor, but I don't know about the steering column clearance, or if it will bolt up to the stock exhaust. An underdrive pulley might free up some HP, as well as a bigger exhaust.

 

thanks for the help yeah the truck was bought for me so i didnt really have a choice lol but yeah thanks for the info sure dont wanan buy a part to have it not fit lol

 

with the hardbody most of the things from the 89 KA in the 240 will improve your performance. Most guys i know with stock hardbodys toss the intake from the 240 on and steal the cam as well. If you are interested in some other stuff aobut the hardbody you can check out nissanminis.com, lots of cool stuff on there, just mostly looks though.

 

Sweet! Some real tech on the hardbody. For single-cam (that's 89-90 240sx, for those not with the lingo) parts, hit Copher's in any of their locations. They always have them.

 

Is it worth building up a single.... I thought they would just blow out fairly quick

 

Depends. You have to think that all sohc 240sx's are atleast 5 years older than the one in this guy's truck. I've seen some pretty high mileage single cams. I think age is becoming more of a factor now a days.

 

thanks for the help dudes i dont wanna do nothing crazy i just want some basic bolt ons or somthign fairly easy to do i mean i rebuilt a whole 285 for my 1968 mustang straight pipes with cherry bombs so it was so loud omgz but yeah was pain in the ass lol but i dont really wanna do that again lol

 

well, techincally, a doch head will bold on, u just need to get a timing chain, this will raise compression (HP), then you could do cams, or u could just buy a bigger sohc cam and do as justtruckin' said, add a cold air. P.S. i have a head, cams, and chain find my post in "nissan parts for sale" but if u wanted to do basic on the sohc PDM-racing.com has a cam for the ka24e motor that would bolt on. its all in how much u want to spend, how much HP u want, and how deep into the motor u want to get. lmk if u want to talk about the top end parts i have
