So you wouldn't suggest building a ka-t?

The issue with the v6 is the amount of custom pieces I would need and time to build it. I've built the ka before and know where to look for parts. As far as low end torque with a smaller back side say 48 or 64 t3 50 trim or so you would see 10lbs easy by 3500 rpm's roughly around the 200-250 hp range iirc. Also this build is not going to be used for much climbing. I plan on mudding and just off roading with the pf.

Iirc the ka24de and vg30 share the same bell housing but the oil pan and pick up on the dohc does not fit and needs to be swapped. Also the bell housings do not interchange?? I don't really have any problems with the v6 I just wanted to boost the motor and the ka is just easier for me.

To answer the question why I would have to say power.. I had an s13 ka-turbo that put down 550ish hp and enough torque to suck your face into your skull. The ka24e is a good solid motor that I am firmiliar with and know I can piece together a turbo setup for cheap. 200-300 hp is an easily achievable number out of these motors which would be more than enough to run through some puddles with. I would love to build a dohc and swap that in but that is a lot more custom pieces than I want to deal with. I'm looking to pick up a pf do a 2" body lift with a suspension lift and 32" mudders

I've been searching though the many sections of this forum and I have not come across any 4 cylinder pf's. I may be wrong but didn't Nissan put the ka24e in the wd21 also? I recently started mudding with a buddy of mine and I am interested in getting my first vehicle to tackle some puddles with. I've built a ka24de-t and I was planning a ka24e-t build for the pf but no one seems to have the 4 cylinder.... Please correct me if I'm wrong. I was thinking a simple 50 trim on a log manifold with 370's or rx7 550's mega squirt and maybe pistons to start off with. Front mount with efans or maybe air to water. Not looking for huge power probably around 250ish.
