Not necessarily. The KA24DE saw duty in the US-delivered Silvia in a longtitudinal mount.

I'm pretty sure old-school Pintaras are RWD - my mate had a TRX with an FJ20 - and I don't think anyone makes an FR with a latitudinally mounted engine.

After looking at pictures of the Pintara and Bluebird, yeah I probably am thinking of the Bluebird TRX.

And according to Wikipedia, the KA24DE powered Pintara was FWD. SR20 is the only reasonably feasible option, I'm afraid.

SR20 > RB20 anyway :flamesuit-on:

you could possibly get the SR20DE out of the pulsar and thwack it in...

the KA24DE did come out in u13 bluebirds, and is quite a popular donk, and has been transplanted into a few U12 Pintaras + Turbo'd

CA18DE/T is another option - (from the EXA)

Rb20 = NO.

I presume in saying KA24 you've got a U12

head over to www.antrx.com and see what they've got going on.

make sure you add the right stickers and autobarn washer nozzles and chrome hubcaps...

oh and its GOT to have the throwover seat covers.

5 inch cannon

and go to antrx.com.......

read for about 3 days.

dont post anything, just search & read.

the bottom line is:

SR20det fits,

need a SR20de gearbox from N14/15 pulsar

OR get a KA24e 5 speed manual, get the SR bellhousing bolted to that (with a 4 minute grind job)

need bluebird engine mounts or custom

need pulsar driveshafts & cv joints, possible custom

The Pintara with the KA24 is a FWD. So, the KA24 is the E-W version. It superseded the R31 Pintara, which was RWD.

surely the SR20DET out of the u13 bluebird would fit.. east-west mounted DET and will fit anywhere an east-west mounted DE will fit...

Would probably pull about 147fwkw out of it with a decent install...

The other engine you could swap out for (prolly harder to find) is the SR20DE VVL (not sure on engine number).. i think it comes in one series of xtrail... nice motor and will give you more power than a normal DE.. close to DET performance in standard form i believe

edit: ok i did a bit more research.. the VVL version of SR20 is called SR20VE.. There is also a SR20VET version of this engine which is said to have come out of the factory at 280ps (206kw) although this engine may have been mounted N/S but i cant find info on this..

The SR20VE is good for about 136kw

Keeping in mind the a standard SR20DE is good for about 105kw at flywheel.

SR20VET is found in the X-Trail, so its also a latitudinally mounted engine.

A GTiR's SR20DET (with the quad throttles) makes more power, stock, than the U13's SR20DET. I think the blocks are stronger and the GTiR uses a T28 to the U13's T25, as well. It should be cheaper than the SR20VET, and will certainly be easier to find in Australia.

The GTiR's SR20 does make more power and torque than the u13's.. problem is they are a bitch to mount E/W and to transfer from 4wd to 2wd.. people used to try it in pulsars (N14&15), but most people took the easier (and i dare say cheaper) route of the u13 SR...

Something i would like to see would be how many of the components from the GTiR version would bolt up to the others.. quad throttles etc..

A forum that i used to be a member of would prolly have more info on E/W mounted engines and value for money options.. www.pulsar.org.au

If the forum hasn't gone to the trolls yet, it should have some decent info..

Interesting the turbo flanges differ though... didnt know that.

umm GTI-R SR20s are mounted east-west standard.... and it's pretty much a front drive set up too, just with a transfer case off the back of the box sending power to the rear. after all GTI-R is based on an N14 front wheel drive platform, just with awd added.

oh, and it has lots of advantages over the other versions of SR20. it has solid lifters, bigger cams, better springs, better head, quad throttles, piston oil squirters in the block, bigger T28 steel wheel turbo (that can handle serious boost), different block, different crank (wider conrods and conrod bearings too), some say better pistons too. that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

The Pintara with the KA24 is a FWD. So, the KA24 is the E-W version. It superseded the R31 Pintara, which was RWD.

Bingo, also rebadged as a Ford Corsair..

bigger T28 steel wheel turbo (that can handle serious boost),

the baron of beer is correct.

a friend was trying to pop his as he had another engine and turbo setup ready to go in.

AVCR peak hold showed 1.9Bar

Apexi RSM peak hold also showed 9765rpm.

Didn't pop.

rb20 does fit in a pinntara as i was in one last night..hes got a silvertop in it but i think the rb20 is from a ceferio

That would have been an R31 pintara, not a U12 pintara.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
