Re: 2.4L stroked engines

Daniel,   Becoming a torque junkie huh?  The fastest (and probably best) way to a LZ24 would be to slap the whole Z24 from a Navara into your car.  The block is 20mm taller than an L20b which means you will have clearance issues, so you will probably need to make custom engine mounts and modify the sump.  The cylinder head is the same as your Z18 head so either put the whole Z18 head on or just the inlet and exhaust manifolds on as you see fit.  Download the Microsoft Excel engine calculator from my site and check the specs on Jason Gray's homepage out, you'll need to make sure you have a turbo-friendly compression ratio.  As for the rest the same theorey applies from Z18's.  Note that you'll get tons of torque and quite a lot of power but much lower in the rev range.  I don't know about Queensland but in NSW I believe capacity limits are: 2380cc for turbo/super or 2856 n/a so the 2389cc Z24 might be pushing it!   Advantages: Retain long Z24 rods for better revability Much easier than clearancing a Z24 crank for use in an L20b block since you would want to use a NAPS/Z head anyway (no need to hunt down Z20 timing cover)   Disadvantages: M3 (Z24) block rumoured to be slightly weaker than the M1 (L16, L18) and M2 (L20b, Z20, Z22) blocks Minor work to engine mounts and sump to fit the thing into a 510 Slightly heavier again than the original block   Stock carburetted Z24 ex 720 utility: 77kw @ 4800 rpm 181Nm @ 2800 rpm   Hope this helps.   - Tom   PS Errol, I want a commision if Daniel buys your Z24 :)   ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel Kroehn To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2001 3:50 PM Subject: 2.4L stroked engines List,   I just finished watching the video serious fours & rotories and performance cars no.1 which had three 1600's in it.  One had a slightly worked Z-18et, one a standard FJ20det and the other a 2.4L stroked L20B with twin webers.  I was interested to see that the 2.4L NA engine dominated over the other 2 turboed cars.  What I want to know is what parts to use(including anything off my Z-18et engine) to build a turboed 2.4L, including aftermarket injection.  I reckon that it would be unstoppable on the road.  Thoughts/suggestions?   Daniel Kroehn Recommending Datrats, supplying quality Datsun performance parts www.Datrats.com.au     --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
