How to make an asset out of a Nissan used engine for your S14

:: Nissan used engine ::

An S14 is a good candidate for Nissan used engine swap. Although the North American S14’s stock engine, the KA24DE presents a decent displacement rated at 2.4 L it only exerts a disappointing 155 HP of power. Compare this to the whopping 280 HP that the RB26DETT engines boasts and it could make your mind tick with velocity enhancing thoughts. Found in stock R32, R33 and R34 Skyline GTR’s these monsters just get better and better when you take a look at their specs. With a torque of almost 300 ft. lb. at 4400 rpm it’s easy to know why car enthusiasts from every corner of the country rave about this engine, either used or new. And these eye popping specs are considering the engine without anymore enhancing modifications you can pull off.

The good news for S14 owners is that with the right modifications these Nissan engines will fit in, and they will make you fly if you decide to do the swap. Although they weigh around 60 lbs heavier than the stock KA24DE, they usually don’t present a problem from the weight distribution point of view. With a dual overhead cam design, the upgradeable possibilities that these engines present are just amazing. The RB26DETT’s TT letters mean twin turbo, and with four wheel drive, you better have a cap or a hat if you don’t want your hair to tear off your skull from the awesome speeds involved in this beast.
