| The KA24E was used in several Nissans. Most
common are mid '80's-later trucks, and the '89-'90 240SX. Power is generally good, but it's strong point is torque. |

| In the chart above, this shows crank HP and
torque in a very lightly modified (read: only bolt-on type stuff) KA24E. Notice the broad,
very flat torque curve. This engine has 80% of peak torque available over a 4000rpm range. Peak numbers come to: 154hp@5200rpm and 166ft-lbs@3000rpm. Factory HP rating fo this engine is 140hp. Totally stock KA24E's should show a similar torque/hp curve, with only 10hp less. |
