I know what most of them mean but what does each letter and number mean in KA24DE, KA24E, SR20DET, RB26DETT...
I know T is for turbo and Im assuming that the # is liters, and im assuming the D is DOHC? am I correct on this and what are the other letters, Pre-thanks

 

You got most of it. Other than what you said, the first 2 letters are the engine series and the E stands for eletronic fuel injection.

 

thanks, was just cuious if the KA SR RB accually stood for anythign, or is it just the series

 

Just a series.

 

KA = Killer Aspiration

SR = Spooler of Roads

RB = Road Beast


yeah it took me awhile to think of those.

 

I LOVE IT!!


What bout KA-t whats that one all bout? just a "slang" or what

 

Just mean turbo KA whether it's SOHC or DOHC.

 

ahh thanks, that what i figured.

 

Thats me

 

KA24DE

"KA" is the code designation for the engine. I dont think it is an acronym. Same goes with the other Nissan engine models: SR, VG, VQ, QR, GA, etc.

"24" is the engine size in liters, the first digit being the tens digit and the second digit being the tenths digit. Hence, 2.4 liters. Same goes for 16, 20, 25, 30, 35, etc.

"D" stands for dual overhead cams (DOHC). Absence of this D means that the engine uses single overhead cams (SOHC).

"E" means that the engine is electronically fuel injected.

"T" is turbo, "TT" is twin turbo.

Other stock engines include: GA16DE, SR20DE, SR20DET, VG30DETT, VQ35DE.

"KA-T", or more commonly "KA+T", is slang for KA24DET, which was never a Nissan factory engine. The T in KA+T is an added aftermarket turbo aparatus. The T was added to the KA24DET. Hence KA+T.

 

Hi I actually had read somewhere thta RB stood for Race Breed i'm not sure though if that's truth or fiction but knowing who the creators where I wouldn't put that out of the question.

Peace

 

shift might know....

 

It's an old myth from the internet... Just like SR means Street Race. Nissan, for the most part, just uses random letters.
