Well if you look at the 240sx you will see that although the engine size is the same KA24E the engine on the 240sx is SIDEWAYS.
Absolutely.
KA24E
== == I do believe if you hear a knocking noise that your crank shaft could be failing. Which means you will need a new engine. Have it checked out. Replace the harmonic balancer they will make a bad knocking noise. When you start it and the oil light goes out and it knocks, this is what is wrong with it.
1989-1990 240sx 1990-1997 Hard body 1990-1995 Pathfinder 1989-1995 Axxess 1990-1992 Stanza They are all the same engine.
Nissan 240sx HorsepowerIt depends on what year and what engine the Nissan has, usually 1989-1990 have the ka24e which is 140 hp. While the 91-98 have the ka24de engine which has 155 hp.
On the 1989-1990 240sx with the KA24E single overhead cam engine the E.C.C.S. is located on the top left side of the engine behind the throttle body and on top of the intake manifold.
The oil should be pumped into the oil journals in a second or two. If you still have rod knocking, you still have problems. It could be piston slap or any of a number of problems, but rod knocking is most common. Have you checked your oil pressure? If oil pressure is up when the engine is running and the knocking continues, it's not a crankshaft problem.
The Nissan 240SX was brought to America in 1989.
The 1989 Honda Prelude had 4x100mm offset. The 1989 Nissan 240sx has a 4x114.3mm offset...so, it will not fit.
Probably fried one of your pistons. Don't even worry about the noise. Just get a reman engine. You need one.
Yes the two transmissions are interchangeable.
