good work jimmy, its nice how some ppl take the time and do a step by step documentation on their progress. this is a car board and its nice to see ppl doing their thang. it doesnt matter if its import or domestic write ups like this is a good way and a good thing for any car board ---

> [@Quik](#): > > i still dont get why that motor is crooked i think it might be the design of the intake manifold on the SR20 and KA24DE engines! if the motor sat straight, i dont think there would be very much room between it and the strut tower. that lack of room would make it fairly impossible to get to the fuel and oil filters. just a guess though.

> [@shaggy](#): > > whats the benefit of this motor ??? not trying to be a dick. haha. i just noticed your question in my year old thread and decided to answer! the motor makes 15 HP and 8 ft/lbs of torque more than the stock motor! the real reason i swapped it in was because i blew up the old motor and needed something so i had a car to get from a to b. i wanted a SR or CA motor but couldnt afford to do it right so i opted for this motor. it was an incredible deal and would run reliably in my car which was more important than power. ---

Nice write up. It’s nice to see ppl doing somethig a little different with the 240. A turbo’d DOHC KA would be sik! Good luck with all ur future plans. ---
