i know for the honda engine, the engine names mean something. like the h22.

h- h series

22- 2.2 liter

the same for bmw like the 325

3- 3 series

25- 2.5 liter

i was just wondering what 3s-gte or 5s-fe, etc. means because it would be interesting maybe

ok i think i can help you out here. this is what i have learned. somebodyh correct me if im wrong though

3s= type of head
gte= turbo charged perfroamnce engine

the same thing goes for any other toyota engine. the first 2 characters denote what kind of head it is, and the last charcters denote whether the engine is an economy engine or a performance engine. the last charcters go something like this.

fe= economy engine
ge= performance engine
gze= supercharged performance engine
gte= turbocharged performance engine

hope that helps u out. anybody correct me if im wrong though >>

I thought that the first couple characters indicated the type of block, and the rest indicated the type of head. I think that the FE heads have a steeper valve angle and the GE heads have a more shallow valve angle.

S= the series
T= Turbo
Z= Supercharger
G= Performance
F= Economy

And the "E" and number at the begining of each engine code is a mystery to me.


As for BMW's the 325 is the Car name, not the engine name, although the last 2 numbers are the engine size. Same with 240sx, and the 300zx.

The 240sx has a 2.4 liter engine but the engine code is SR20DE.

edit: chrobis man, the 2.4l engine in the US 240sx is a KA24DE. Japanese spec is a CA18DET hence the name 180sx. the silvia on the other hand has the 2.0l SR20DET you speak of >>

BMW's HAD numbers that made sense. 328 was a 2.8L I6, the 318 was a 1.8L I4, NOW they went haywire and the numbers today 330, 323, they dotn mean ne thing cuz thats not the size of the engine.

hmm, I didnt know about the SR20DE... I knew the SR20DET was the turbo silvia's but I thought the SR20DE was the american N/A and the silvia N/A engine... Thanks for clearing that up.

Side question, since were talking about nissans. How hard is the SR20DET swap into a US 240sx?
