----Pick up truck
Any JDM models of the KA?
----Negative. They had SR20DE's and DET's
not sure, but i do know that the Altimas are made in Symerna, Tennessee. I don't know if the engines are shipped over here or if they are made here as well. But the Altimas are assembled here in the States.Ry said:
so where are KA engines built?
Yes it's possible, but it's not as easy as Hondas. It takes more modifying and money. It's not like Lego's (Honda). It has been done before, but by many people. It's also not really worth it unless it's the SR20DET or the SR20DE with an after market turbo.Luv2Surf247 said:call me an idiot for asking this but if they use the sr20 in the altimas over in Japan, can we have one put into our cars? and if so why hasn't anyone does this yet? or have they?
Actually today's ka engine is made/assembled in decherd tennessee and shipped to smyrna for the altima and frontierCapitalist said:I'm pretty sure that the engine is made in Japan. All they do in Tennessee is assemble cars from shipped components.
The Altima is defined by the US government as an American car. The rule is that over 78% of a car's parts must originate in the U.S. in order to be defined that way. The KA engines for the Altima have been built in the US starting, I believe, for the 1998 model year.Capitalist said:I'm pretty sure that the engine is made in Japan.
