Swap my 89 KA for a 91+ KA?

FormulaDrifter · 04-23-2004, 07:52 PM

I need info on swaping a 1989 240sx stock KA to a newer 240 KA? I know you have to change the power steering but does anybody have information on a web site?
THANK YOU,

Q: I am swapping out a SOHC to a DOHC and I did not understand how to splice
the wires for the dash harness. Could you please tell me in detail exactly
how to do this task?

A: There are six wires to splice under the dash. They are about 8 inches
straight above the ECU, and are the same as the other swaps require.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: I need to start this KA24E to KA24DE swap right away, and I need to know
what I should do. I saw the picture of the wire splicing for the harness,
can I keep the SOHC harness in the car and just splice in part of the DOHC
harness? Anything else?

A: Use the DE harness and splice it into the SOHC dash harness.

ill have more...still looking
