Engine Nissan KA24DE/E

In 1988, the Z24 series was replaced by the KA24 gasoline power units. It is already problematic to buy the very first modifications of the ka24e internal combustion engine in our time, since their production was discontinued in 1991 due to modernization. However, especially for several model lines intended for the European and North American markets, production is periodically resumed.

For the rest, nothing of the in-line power unit used in the device has changed. Continue reading Engine Nissan KA24DE/E

Engine Nissan QR20DE

The QR20DE powertrain does not represent anything outstanding. This is a conventional 2.0-liter engine with an aluminum BC and a short service life.

Unlike its predecessor, the SR20DE, the new QR20DE features individual ignition coils and an improved cylinder head.

This variant was a turbocharged version with 212-248 intake camshafts, 8.0-11.0 mm lift and 244 outlet cams and 11.3 mm lift. The reliability and durability of the 2.0 liter Nissan SR20 series engines suggests that there are no global shortcomings. Among the minor drawbacks, the floating XX (idle) and periodic breakdowns of the mass air flow sensor (mass air flow sensor) were noted. Continue reading Engine Nissan SR20DE/DET/VE/VET
