Default Which Nissan 4 cyl kicks butt? - 08-01-2003 , 10:30 PM






Up here in upstate NY one of the local race tracks has a stock "4 cylinder
truck class". The truck must be a 2WD and essentially stock pickup.

I have been told that the Nissan 4 banger is just eating up the S-10 Chevy
2.5 trucks (even with throttle body engines).

Have any idea what Nissan truck (4 cyl) I should be looking for? Which
engine is the hot one, do they have overhead cam or double overhead cam
versions?

Thanks in advance

Ed

The really bad boy is the FJ24. DOHC, 8000rpm redline. I have an FJ20 in my
'72 510 and it's way fast. Good luck and big bucks getting one.

The FJ24 was a factory special for works rally cars - last used in the
late 80's RS240 (S12 notchback). There are rumors that a Nimso kit
was available. Supposed to be able to make the FJ20(DE) into
something close by using a KA24 crank.

Nissan used to do well in Rallies when the world championship had
rounds that just destroyed lesser cars. Winning required a car that
could survive miles of pot holed hell, mud and high water. WRC have
excluded these events as the cars are too expensive to trash on one
race.
