Nissan Z engine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nissan Z series of automobile engines ranged from 1.8 L to 2.4 L and were produced from 1979 through August 1989. The Z series engines retained a nearly identical block to the earlier L Series with the exception of the Z24 which utilized a taller deck height to increase engine displacement. The most notable feature of the Z-Series engine was the introduction of the crossflow cylinder head which increased performance and reduced emissions by moving the intake ports to the right side of the vehicle opposite the exhaust ports. This change allows the fuel air mixture to more easily enter the combustion chamber and also allows the exhaust port velocity to more effectively scavange the cylinder and reduce reversion pulses.

Note: All Z20, Z22 and Z24 engines were known as NAP-Z (NAPZ or NAPEZ) engines. NAP for Nissan Anti-Pollution. All NAPZ motors had dual sparkplugs per cylinder except the pre-82 versions. However all NAPZ engines sold in California reportedly had dual plug heads regardless of the year.
The fuel injected version referenced above was denoted as the Z24i (Throttle Body Fuel Injection) and was first available in the Nissan Model 720 ST pickup during the 1986 crossover year to the (1986.5) D21 Hardbody and was later replaced by the KA24E engine. Beside fuel injection, a significant change for the Z24i was the addition of an optical crank angle sensor in the distributor rather than a vacuum advance and ignition module. This allowed for more precise engine management for the fuel injection system.
