i have an 84 nissan stanza(nissan/datsun engine), auto, 4cyl, but its got 8 spark plugs :confused: what type/size/info can you give me on this engine?
search for "twin plug" i asked about it about 2 months ago!
mazda also used a twin plug design on a few engines. Basically 2 plugs per cyl. Old jags used this system as well.
yea i know a few companies used it, im just trying to find out what the engine is called, and what size ect... i need some parts for it.
its called a ca20e, really weak engine, came in 200sx's
its a 2 liter engine 8 valve single over head cam puts out about 100hp on a good day
and yes its a twin spark plug system, but one set of plugs turns off past 3500rpm
I had a 200sx with that engine. Funny engine, and i think it was a 12 valve, not an eight valve. It was related to the old ca18et.
Can u let me know how the 200sx engine is so weak when it's got twin plug's (I'm not to familiar with the nissan/datsun engines) One of my friends's got a 180 Stanza with a 2L head which he made quite fast, he asked me for advice and I looked at him with a blank face.....so any info could help.Quote:

All the second plugs are for is emissions. They are there to burn off what doesnt burn in the beginning of the combustion stroke.
WTF is a 180 Stanza?!?! Is it a 180SX, if so it would be fast, or is it a Stanza (slow).Quote:

Anyway on my old '83 200SX I had the twin plug systems its called NAPS (Nissan Air Pollution System) I think, but I had the Z22e which was based off the Z20 which I think you may have. The Z22 was he predessor of the Z24 which was the base of the KA24, which Stanzas came with later on in their life.
i checked it out and i have a ca20s, any easy cheap ways of speeding it up a bit... its for an oval race car... so if i "adjust" the emissions stuff it wont matter...
check out www.club-s12.org there is a section on the CA20e
