would a 92 240sx motor drop into an 89 body? just wondering thanks

Yes the 92 KA24DE will..now take your answer and dont come back

You need the power steering reservoir and lines from a 91-98 and you also need a brain and some common sense, and don't say you have any of those because if you did, you wouldn't have asked that question.

Ghostchild316 has a DOHC swapped S13. He would know what is required.

Damn right I do!Thats exactly what I have,'92 KA in my '89 Fastback.

the 89 tranny bolted right up to the 92 motor so dont ask anything about their compatability.Same goes for the starters and alternators...

lets see here...

-KA24DE motor(duh)
-engine harness and ECU for KA24DE
-ALL power steering lines from DOHC car(hard line that runs under motor,pressure hose,return hose,and resorvior)
-MAF sensor for KA24DE and piping
-minor wiring.Don't get scared now,it's so easy a monkey can do it.
-tach from DOHC car

*You could use the heater hoses from the KA24E,but it looks better if you use the ones for a KA24DE.*

-The sohc interior harness(plug right by ecu under dashboard)is different from the dohc harness.You could either splice the wires or get a matching plug for either harness.Clip the old one and wire the new matching plug in.As for the wiring,all you have to do is match the colors.That's it!whatever is left,throw it aside.

Also,The stock "downpipe" bolts up the KA24DE's exhaust manifold.

It's a pretty easy swap especially if you have the correct tools.Could be done in less than one day if everything were to go smooth,but nothing ever does...*cough*broken motor mount*cough*cough*

Have fun and good luck!:smile:

hey bro I am about ready to do the same swap to my 89, question did you turbo your engine your did you leave na? also did you do any internal engine work, like boring out the cyclinders race piston?

1st larkin check the date on threads I know this was one has ONLY been a month but for future reference just check the dates and welcome to AF.

2nd. Why the hell did monoxide get banned. I know why D Bo got banned for making that thread but what happened to Monoxide.

GTStang had a pick of a 240SX in his sig that said "2 slow, 2 gay" and monooxide told him he was a faggot so he got banned for 10 days.
