Hi all, Can a ka24e engine from a manual 1989 240sx go into a 1990 240sx Autmatic car?

I don’t see why not.

If you are doing a straight engine swap, then yes, should be fine

If you are doing engine/tranny swap there are a few bugs u’ll have to work out.

The following links explain how to perferm auto-manual swaps:

Yes it can but you will need to take the flywheel off the automatic and put it on the new engine for they are different.

Pretty much, as already noted you’ll need to change teh fltwheel for the auto flex plate. I expect you’ll also need to ues the throttle body off the automatic, and the lower engine harness too. I know these are different on the KA24DE, not 100% sure on the KA24E. (Much easier to change that lower harness with the engine out).

you may want to look into changing the pilot bearing/bushing as well i am fairly certain they are diferent. just go to a nissan dealer and ask to see apilot bearing from each auto and manual. If I remember corectly the auto bearing has a bigger hole for the imput shaft. I could be wrong though it has ben almost three years since i put a 89 auto ino a 90 standard

Auto doesn’t use a pilot bearing the hole is just that, a crankshaft without a pilot bearing in it. Having a pilot bearing in teh crankshaft will not be a problem for a auto.
