i've searched and havn't come up with what i wanted to know

people tell me the ka-e is a better engine to turbocharge but my questions is if the CR was the same would the ka-e still be better to turbo?

the de gets more air flow but the e has less moving parts. any thing else

Humm well these two engine respond well to turbocharging .... But you have to remember they were not made to be turbocharged ..

its a choice

wich one is in better shape.. ?
wich one the part cost less if something happen (if money is a problem)

anyway my choice is the Ka24E for me this summer

the CR of the KA-E and DE are almost the same..(well there a difference but anyway :P ) its more a matter of preventing the detonation... if you tune it well no problem !

anyway you can actually lower the CR in a ka-DE to acheive the same CR of a KA-E but its not the only thing that make a engine better for turbocharging..

Ive never seen a KA24E turbo manifold that wasn't a one of a kind peice....have you? Thats a factor for me. Also, seems to me that the DE has slightly better aftermarket support...and more DE parts seen on ebay.

i was not thinking about turbo part more engine part like piston ring etc etc but you are right they are less option when we want a turbo manifold.. !

you know im almost in the same situation you are, i've been doin alot of research bout turboin the ka24de, it seems like its a good motor to turbo and since i havent really been finding any sr20dets for a good price i think im just gonna turbo my ka. THe question i have is what good kits are there that are for the ka24det? I thought that greddy was going to come out with one but its takin forever.

You might want to check yourself on that one. Something to think about.
