Ka24e To Ka24de Swap Help

[ChadHardbody]

Looking to swap a dual cam KA into my 90 nissan p/u which currently has the ka24e in it. Anyone know if I could just swap the motor and wiring in and keep all my gauges and electronics working?

I think your tach would work with the KA24DE wiring as long as you wired it for that close to the computer. Your speedo should also work. Your temp guage should work as well.

You will only be gaining about 14HP though.

Dang thats not really worth pulling the motor for lol but when this motor finally goes might as well drop it in. Be nice just to have a vvl motor appear under the hood one day :D

I think it'd need to become a FF truck at that point
