Fun Times s13 to s14 KADE swap - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Xicious · 09-11-2009, 07:03 PM

Alright, I apologize first this is such a noob post but in the near future I'm hoping to make much better posts. Here's the scenario, I have a 93 S13 with a NAKA blown engine(Bent Valve.... at least I had fun doing it!) due to money situations and overall condition of my s13 (cancer spots and all that jazz) I decided instead of SR swapping or having the engine rebuilt I'd go out and buy a new 240. So my uncle towed in a 94 s14(technically a 95) that had an engine fire. I haven't gotten a chance to fully inspect the damage the fire caused but I know most of the chaos. So here's my plan, I know the harness is different and some other things but I want to swap as much as I can off my s13 Ka to the s14 ka to save money and replace a lot of the damaged goods. So what are the major things that can't be swapped and what will I have to buy, I know this is a tough question since I don't know in full detail what's destroyed on the s14 but for $200 I can't pass up on it. Keep in mind at this point I just want a running car, tuning comes later.

It should mostly be the same, arent the DOHC in S14s & S13s the same? People swap KADE into their early S13s all the time.

Search more and youll find your answer very quickly.

... then ask more specific questions.

Both my KA24de's are pretty much the same except one's OBDII. From looking it seems like the MAF sensor, head, and gasket cover will be different and of course the harness, I'm not sure what else wont swap between the two Ka24de's.

What I'm basically trying to do is combine the two KA24DE engines into one Mega KA24DE. One KADE off a s13 and the other KADE off an s14 an the final engine will go into the S14.

A mega KA24DE? This isnt transformers man. Your just using the good parts from each, which is a smart move but read that link because itll save your life.

I was just making a little joke. I've done engine swaps before, I helped my buddy do an RB20 swap. I just wanna know what problems I'll run into as far as replacing the s14 KADE with parts from my s13, what wont go on and what new parts I'll need for the s14 that I can't get off my s13.

You've already been given a link and there are tons of threads asking this exact same information which are fully documented, have been for over a dozen years. Quit asking simple shit and do your own research.

i did kind of the same thing. i used all the components off my s14 ka and put them on an s13 block. everything worked fine.

Alright cool, that's good to know. Thanks man, this should hopefully go flawless.
