sidewaysfab Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I own a shop in melbourne fl. A customer brought in a 1985 Starion narrowbody that he wants a nissan ka24de put into. I decided to join here because i have a lot of nissan experience but not much with starions so i figured this would be a good place to ask questions. To start off, does anyone know where to find a 1985 service manual or is the 86 the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 The efi system is the same, but there may be small differences in the some of the wiring etc. For the most intents and purposes the 86 service manual should be a great resource for you. If you need one you can hop over to starquestgarage.com and download it as a pdf or view it on the web. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 although the fuel system won't be much use since he's doing a motor swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xricer Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Not trying to be a d*** here but that nissan engine is a boat anchor! Horrible swap idea!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Nissan KA motor, now that's a new swap I haven't seen. Very curious as to why swapping to an equivalent motor to ours from Nissan. You can find service manuals on ebay or amazon, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3UC3S Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 A turbo KA is pretty ballsy. Plus you have the parts support and better fuel injection. Would I swap a NA KA24? H3ll no! Turbo KA....sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasQuest Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 When built right they are a potent engine. Tomei is developing parts for it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
