X2^^ It's a KA24DE... Some people build turbo's around the DOHC KA and even more rare is to see people build turbo up around the SOHC CA18... But yes like Blair said it definitely needs at least a SR20(Red or Black Top) to make it worth a damn.. however to see an RB26DETT swaped in would be ridunculous!!

I got a ride in a KA-T 240 at Verona years ago and it kinda made me really want one as a neat project before I had the Supra. Still an idea I might get to one day, I think it has its merits.

I wouldn't go so far as to say a KA in a 510 is a junk swap. It's readily available, reliable, and is a well-documented swap for that car b/c a lot of 510 owners like to stay NA. Sure, an SR will have the exact same mounting points and therefore would be extremely easy on that car (just like doing it on a 240), but I felt that my stock KA motivates my 240sx pretty well and I would venture to say that it was a significant upgrade on a 510 considering it's lightness and the stock 510 engine. From what I remember, there has been a movement in recent years with people starting to embrace the KA and upgrading it instead of going SR, so perhaps that was the reasoning for him to go that route.
An RB26 in the front of that car will turn a tidy engine bay into a cluttered, cramped clusterfuck that is totally unneccessary in my opinion.

the piper cage alone would cost you half that price and everything looks to be done 'right'

.RJ · 11-02-2009, 12:47 PM

Except for that battery cage. Wow. Is that a belt? :lol:

**Mike** · 11-02-2009, 01:57 PM

probably worth more like 6ish... and that's why i'll likely never sell mine.

sad, a quick rundown of the valuable parts:
car - 3k
engine - 4k
quaife - 1k?
exhaust - .5k
seats - 1k
cage - 2k?
suspension - 1k
wheels/tires - 1k

we're at an easy 14k invested. that sucks.

Evan · 11-02-2009, 09:10 PM

that car really only goes for $2k more than that older, high mile junkyard special that you posted earlier that had a worse engine/trans and no seats/rollbar etc ?

**Mike** · 11-02-2009, 11:29 PM

yes. there's only so much people are willing to pay for a prebuilt shitbox.

Evan · 11-03-2009, 12:09 AM

ah, well killer deal for someone looking for a fast trackcar anyway!

**Goodspeed** · 11-03-2009, 12:42 AM

Bahahaha

Well "swap" may be misleading. For one, like almost all SC300's it was auto to begin with, and it has the A340E auto mated to the GTE that is also mated to the GE, though they have some differences:

Quote:DIFFERENCES

TT Auto

- HP Limit -425-450 w/ a good cooler.
- Valve body has 4 solenoids, the 4th solenoid controls line pressure electronically. This allows smoother shift modulation.
- Has a larger torque converter that is more efficient.
- TT torque converter requires use of a TT flexplate and TT flexplate bolts.
- Driveshaft bolts onto the transmission to a 3 bolt flange.
- Has a different input shaft than the n/a tranny.
- Has more clutch packs than the n/a auto.
- Valve body solenoids activate linearly allowing more precise transmission control.

N/A Auto

- HP Limit : ~325-350 w/ a good cooler
- Transmission line pressure is controlled by a cable and only has 3 solenoids in the valve body.
- Has a slip type tailshaft housing for the driveshaft. Driveshaft slips into the transmission itself.
- Valve body solenoids have an on and off activation.
