How much would a new KA24DE go for anyway. i am selling a CRX, i know its a honda, but i liked the fact that the get like 40 MPG. I am getting 2500 for it. so maybe i should go SR20. Would it cost alot for the Sr engine and tranny. and what else i need to install??

This is retarded. You can't get a RWD sports car KA head from a truck, or an altima, or anything but a 240sx. You may be able to rig one, but it will have different breathing properties. You also can't just "put in" larger valves. That's a $400 valvejob at most good machine shops. High compression pistons defeats chances of a KA-Turbo'd. Search for a new KA24DE. Keep your CRX if you like gas mileage. Stock I got 26mpg, now I get 24mpg. That's 2x the gas, and with high comp pistons or a sr20, you need to fill up with the good stuff. So that's 3x the gas money. SEARCH FOR THE SR20DET INFORMATION! SEARCH FOR THE SR20DET INFORMATION! SEARCH FOR THE SR20DET INFORMATION! $2500 won't score you a good clip shipped to your house. You won't have money to install it. You won't know how to install it yourself because you appear clueless in this post. I really don't think that you know what you're trying to get yourself into, and if you really want this $2500 swapped 240sx, spend 8 hours searching and reading posts here. Then go to FreshAlloy and spend 8 hours reading posts there, and then 8 more hours sifting through the "Best of 240sx" archive. Once you know what you're talking about, realize that you don't have the money or knowledge to do this, and go home.
