OSTI ID:5378480
Nissan's new 2.4-liter, in-line, 4-cylinder gasoline engine, the KA24E, was developed for the worldwide automobile market, but exclusively for the North American market. It has been released for Nissan's new 1989 model, high-performance sports car, the 240SX, and will also be mounted in such forthcoming models as the new 1990 AXXESS. The major objectives in developing this new engine were to achieve high performance at practical driving speeds, especially at low- and middle-engine speeds, quiet engine operation, reliability, fuel economy and serviceability. This paper discusses the major development objectives, the basic engine structure, and principal component parts of the KA24E.
