SR/KA abbreviations??

Post by **collk88** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

ok maybe this is stupid but does anyone know what SR and KA actually stand for? i have heard that RB stands for Race Breed. but i dunno the other two. just curious

As for as I know, the abbrevations don't stand for anything, but if you do take notice, there are families of particular letters. like an S family, an R family, a V family, etc. It stems from the old L series of engines I think.

S = 4 Cylinder, Closed DeckR = Gasoline, Sand Cast Alloy Block

K = 4 Cylinder, Closed DeckA = Gasoline, Sand Cast Iron Block

R = 6 Cylinder, Closed DeckB = Gasoline, Cast Iron/Nickel Block.

i don't think nissan would go throgh the hassle of making K and S the same thing, when they could use only one letter to describe it, like for the rest of letters they use.

well I don't know... but if RB stands for Race Breed then SR HAS to mean Speed Racer and KA must be....? Killer Altima?

But the thing is, RB does not stand for "race bred", or "racing breed", or whatever else ignorant rice sites tell you. =\The first RB's were relatively weak so I doubt the naming was premeditated...

(Watch him bring up some reputable site proving me wrong...

)

But I'm pretty sure they're just letters.

Note: It's been my experience that engine codes starting with "V" are always in a V configuration. i.e.- VG, VH, VK, VQ...

SeVa you are right in the respect hat RB DOES NOT stand for Race Breed, it is just the way they classify the motor. RB standing for Race Bred/Breed is a silly internet rumor that started a whiel back(mostlikely by some illiterate, dumbass ricer)

Post by **collk88** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

fair enough, i was just wondering if the letters had any real meaning.

they are engine codes...plain and simple...what's important is getting one of them into your car :pface...who cares what it stands for

mabye S refers to forced induction blocks and K to natural aspiration......

Not all SR's are stock turbo. Look at a sentra SE-R. SR20DE. Look at a Silvia/180SX Q's. SR20DE.

Post by **Hijacker** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

the different engine codes are families that specify crap we don't care about in passing. Bore/Stroke, Deck design, block material, etc.

Post by **E Dogg** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

good point, plus they use the T for that

Post by **thes14project** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

e dogg, I see you got bubb rubb. Nice.....Goddamnit I hate ****ing ricers....This would be the point I'd turn into a monster, a super sayen, the megatron gun, the super ultimate battle power rangers bot, or wolverine when he's really pissed off....or Cartman, yea, that little ****er is always pissed about something.

Post by **E Dogg** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

SR =Sodacans Recycledput em up put em up!:boxing The first letters are just family designations, the numbers are displacement a "D" is twin cam, an "E" or nothing else after the displacement is single cam, a "T" is turbo

Post by **E Dogg** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

my friend got 1.78 for his (working) ka24e at a metal recyclers...

Post by **SeVa-S13** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

A lone "E" after the numbers (which actually points out EFI) USUALLY means SOHC....but what about the FJ20ET?

Post by **Hijacker** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

we don't talk about that

Post by **SeVa-S13** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

Ack, I forgot! =\The FJ20 never existed, people. Move along.

Post by **thes14project** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

I'm hella confused

Post by **themadscientist** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 7:54 pm

We can talk about FJs, they look good in an S13, shame no inspection garage would touch it. I ended up pulling it out:(what about the S20! In the early days Nissan didn't seem to be so nitpicky. There was the VG30ET as well, it had two cams but only one per head:pface
