The DOHC KA24DE is considered to be a higher-revving engine...whereas the
SOHC KA24E is more of a torque motor. There's great potential in both, and
160hp is actually no problem at all with either motor. When you do the swap,
you'll have to put on a new air filter and exhaust, so that'll put you right
up around 150-155 with the KA24E and ~165 with the KA24DE. The KA24E is of
course a lot cheaper than the DE. And there is a difference in the KA24Es
that came in the trucks and the 240SXs....they have different tranny gearings
and ECU maps.
