950+HP Nissan KA-T 240sx " The Ugly Duckling"
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This time on TRC we feature Andre EMS' insanely clean and self built KA24DE-T 240sx. This car is an absolute beast making roughly 950+HP(850+WHP), something you don't see everyday with the original Nissan 2.4L KA24. This is a very special feature for us as Andre EMS is one of the masterminds behind the original TRC cars(TRC Supra and 240sx). He's also building our current R32 GTR and 2JZ S13 Coupe projects. We take you through his 11 year journey with "The Ugly Duckling" and what's in store for his 240sx in the future. Enjoy!

This is my favorite 240 I've ever seen. Simply for the fact that it's a KA that's gonna be the fastest car on any given road 95+% of the time.

99% id estimate cuz its a low 10second car but exactly! awesome build and awesome use of best parts for each benefit like he said he didnt want close ratio so he did the tremec thats a good point with allot of power and boost you dont need close ratios allot of time you waste more time shifting than just letting it wind thru a longer gear especially with 900+hp even if you get 700 or 800 rpm further drop per gear change with that wider ratio you still have plenty power at that rpm. smart design and build
and now I'm thinking I may just stick with my KA... holy balls this is insane!

Wow they stayed nissan with it. respect
Impressive stuff! Fully built KA's are a rare sight. Also that's one clean 240.

I know If I ever bought a 240SX S14, I'd most definitely stay KA especially with the bigger displacement and already coming inside the car from factory.. plus I just am oddly attracted to the KA24DE more than an SR20DET

Mr. Untouchable I like the KA, don’t get me wrong, the SR is superior in probably every way- except it’s more expensive in the US. I just think it’s funny you’re here propagating the SR vs KA debate, a tale as old as time. This is fun for me, because it’s so easy to ruffle feathers on the internet. Also- where’s the video about your engine on a popular KZread channel? Where’s your 900hp SR? If it exists, I genuinely want to see it, because I love these cars and engines- both KA, SR, or hell- even the LS, and I wanna hear exhaust notes and blow-off valve noises. But if it doesn’t exist, just stop typing, pwetty pwetty pwease, because my “feewings” are hurt. Thanks in advance again for not hurting my poor widdle feewings anymore than you already have. It’s the internet dude, put up, or shuddupppp

Props to Andre for getting featured. He's been in the So Fla scene since the glory days. Never to be underestimated, he's been hurting feelings for years.. Cheers TRC for showing out the ole schoolers ! #DreTuned

I love talking/listening to true KA24 aficionados. I also feel the same way about the 240sx 5-speed trans. KA's don't need close ratios, we need big wide gears! This car is amazing and I hope you keep up the good work!!
This guy is a hero. Not to many guys can do all that work themselves and get the KA to nearly 1000hp let alone people who actually do it. The t56 trans work is amazing. The fact that the interior looks like he picked up a virgin but actually started out in pieces is also amazing.
I love true builds from factory motors instead of 2jz swaps or rb's I respect you're build..💪🏿
I really love this Man's thoroughness
Man this is a true builder, nothing swapped kept it original, good stuff buddy, I got a good set up coming to KZread next yr, been following you for long time now Andre.

What a cool project!Good to see more people moving out to the VQ.
That 240sx is a beauty. 😍
Mad props on using ka24. Makes sense with 2.4L vs 2.0L.
I liked that inlet manifold!!! A true work of art
This is the passion right here.
I love that he kept of to its roots
Always liked the KAs for their underdog status. Just like my boosted G54B forklift engine. Surprising torque monsters.
Respect to the owner by keeping the KA engine still on it, car is simply a beast, clean 240sx.
hell yeah dude showing that ka some love
This is really cool. I love that he fabricated his own stuff for this build. I would love to learn how to do that
Props for building it!
Gorgeous car, love the KA!
Damn that's some really big power that the KA is putting down!
As soon as he said he was going to swap in a VQ, my face lit up. I can't wait.
Top notch video quality!
That is one clean build, nice.

TRC goes to HP Logic which is 5 minutes from my house. Maybe one day when VQ is making four digits, I might make it lol.

I also own a 1995 and have owned it since 2008. Still rockin' the KA and have a SR sitting in my garage. Greddy exhaust manifold with dual magnaflow exhaust pipes. Never slapped on a turbo. Was going to swap in the SR20DET, but the days I wanted to drift are over. I just want to put it in the 450s for HP.
The most perfect 240SX 💪
This thing is so sick. So rare to see a KA built cuz it's so expensive compared to a turbo ready SR. But that iron block handles huge power, totally worth it. Who cares about 8k rpms?

dang this is amazing !!
thumbs up because KA-T.
Mad love too the KA 😎
Can't wait for the VQ!!!
God that thing rips
Nice man!! I need to get my KA-T on your status!!
Nice, I remember when 500 hp was the supposed peak of the ka24 block.
Awesome video
The fact that it is KA makes me happy or used to be before the swap
beautiful car!
That's clean!
I knew he had that fx850 by the sound haha. I have the same one. Sick car Andre
Very well setup car.
That’s wild!!
wow this car is crazyness
this helps just bought a s14 zenki and its even the same year and im wanting to build the ka cause nobody really does it this inspires me cause i really wanna know more on how to build one
🙌🙌one time for Collin!
I want my STi to be featured next. Lol great video bros
That's why no one builds ka's, sure you can get power out of them but you have to work so hard to get them to do it. Props to him for pulling it off though

@@philipvillaflor7643 It literally isn't though lol, there are numerous engines that can handle pretty dumb power. No denying when you go north of 700 or thereabouts even those engines don't really like it, but before that point that absolutely isn't true. You can throw money at any engine and make insane power relative to stock, you're ignorant if you don't realize that some engines just don't cost as much to get to similar power increase relative to stock.
BEAST!!!!

ka with that power, wow
Are you selling those adapter plates for the t56?
damn i live real close to where you guys shot this, anyway you my idol dude 8k rpm out of a ka damn
Love KAs
i have close to the same setup with a little bit smaller turbo but not e85. pump gas on 20lbs made 500hp and 450lbf. i was planning on a e85 tune and turning it up. i was shooting for like 750 tho. sick man
Ka24 power that's what I'm talking about, I have a hardbody 2.4 would love to have that set up . Kissimmee FL , nismo hardbody

What crank did you use the crower or the stock ?
board shows 10.41 @ 148 and not 10.1? Was there a glitch? never the less, this car is badass!
