Really wondering

[SiNiSt3R]

Hey guys hows it goin? Im very new to the Nissan Family. Recently, I purchased an 03 Xterra with the 4 cyl engine. A person from the Xterra board informed me that the 4 cyl engine on an xterra is tha same on a 240SX. I just wanted to confirm this.

I've never seen under the hood on a 4 cylinder, but it must be the old 240 / altima engine.

From nissan-usa.com -

" Xterra's 143-hp 4-cylinder engine delivers most of its 154 lb-ft of torque in the crucial low rpm range, which means plenty of kick off the line. DOHC design ensures efficient breathing to boost power and fuel economy."

&

"2.4-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine 143 hp @ 5,200 rpm 154 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm"

It doesn't have the same power rating though. Probably made to give you more pulling power in the lower RPM's.

if i remember correctly, it's from the KA family, but I don't know if it's a 2.4 liter. don't quote me on that.

gearing and retuning moved the power band and hp/tq figures

Pretty sure it's the KA24DE.The SC'ed models come with a VG33ER, puting out a relatively pathetic 210hp.

The xterra inline4 is designated the TA5N, but has same displacement and bore & stroke of the KA

well the main thing that i would like to know is that, is it possible to add an intake and such to my engine. Like on the 240SX?

anything's possible, search around some xterra forums for more precise info though... the 240sx stuff won't fit your truck.
