a buddy of mine sold me his ka.. we think its a 91... but im not sure.. is there any way to tell if this ka has the 91 cams in it?

MakotoS13 · 06-09-2004, 11:49 AM

12 or 16 valve?

that's prolly your best way to check *sigh*

mike13 · 06-09-2004, 11:50 AM

im pretty sure its one of those special 24 liter SR engines runnning around

Andrew Bohan · 06-09-2004, 11:51 AM

12 vs 16 valve would only tell him E or DE, not specifically '91

SR240DET · 06-09-2004, 12:01 PM

91's came sohc? iv got a sohc in the back of my truck and a dohc... the dohc is going into my s14 ( due to the lower miles and good tranny)

im just trying to figure out what year exactly the dohc is.. thanks guys

negular · 06-09-2004, 12:14 PM

91-98 dohc

knightrider · 06-09-2004, 12:24 PM

no the single cam only came in 89-90 cars, 91 and newer came with DOHC. cant really help ya on identifying the motor, maybe check the serial number on the block,

take the timing cover or valve cover off since its sitting out of the car.

*sykikchimp* · 06-09-2004, 01:09 PM

what color is the valve cover?

goldish hue, it's an S13.

all s13's had the 240-248 cams

s13Dr1ft · 06-09-2004, 01:19 PM

what year was the car? this isnt that hard..

Yoshi · 06-09-2004, 01:32 PM

wtf guys, the 91's had more aggressive cams, there was a thread on this just recently, I'd search for it, but that should've been someone else's job *hint-hint*

All you guys talking down to him about E vs DE need to stop being condescending, cuz now u look dumb. He knows what he's asking, he wants to know if he has the more aggressive cams that came in the 91 KA's.

edit: sykik is right. apparently all the dohc s13's had the same cams, not just the 91's (tho I can understand the misconception now, as there were more 91's than 92 or 93's together)
here's the last thread this topic was mentioned in...

Yes listen to the man^^^ I don't think the original question is asking how to identify DOHC and SOHC there were the cams that were apparently only in a 91, but I have heard so many different things about them exhisting and not being real. Good luck and I think searching a lot of other posts would be your best bet.

s13Dr1ft · 06-09-2004, 01:55 PM

well ill be damned, i didnt read it right. I appologize.

Sorta.

'94 convertibles had smaller cams and no secondary butterflies... S14-style.
